The Palm Deck American • $
Above The Rhum House Restaurant, 58182 Overseas Hwy, Marathon

“It felt like sitting on an exclusive deck of a spectacular cruise ship. There are both comfy seating areas, very classy wood and cushioned chairs and couches, with umbrellas... as well as table and chairs for more practical dining.We went there for breakfast as part of our stay at Grassy Flats resort. The food is excellent, just like Rhum House, same cooks, same chefs. It can get very overwhelmed with people in the morning, which is why I didn't give it a 5 for service. It isn't like they didn't try, but while we were there, they got a rush for breakfast and it took a while. The days we were able to order breakfast from the Rhum House, due to higher winds the service was excellent! The pictures come from our breakfast at Rhum House, but the menu is the same.The two most spectacular dishes for breakfast were a fruit tray that was so gorgeous to behold, and the yogurt bowl that was sprinkled with chocolate and honey. Avocado toast was excellent, so I heard (I'm gluten sensitive so I didn't get to try it). Coffee was good, and endless. Mai Tais were also available that day, as our favorite bartender was on duty and it wasn't too busy. It was well worth the deviation from our normal breakfast.On the day we had breakfast on the Palm Deck, it was too busy to ask for a Mai Tai, and the bartender on duty didn't know how to make them the same way. Food was a little slow, but they were slammed with one server on. The food quality was excellent.

Vegetarian options: The fruit salad is to die for, as is the avocado toast see pictures. I believe there were also cereals (I can't eat them so I don't' know).

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten sensitive and there were many options for me. Vegan and vegetarian needs can also be met.

Kid-friendliness: We had our 2 year old nephew and he had a great time. They provided a smaller bowl of yogurt on request. We were able to walk the deck while waiting for our food. There is a lot to distract a little one with the views and the trees and birds nearby. They had high chairs easily accessible too.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access from parking lot (though gravel) to huge elevator, to front door.“

We watched the Eagles game and got a few football specials. My kids each got a burger that they raved about. I had blackened tuna bites that were amazing!!! We will be back next trip!!“

She did an excellent job, of talking us through the specials. 5 out of the 6 of us ordered specials. Everything was delicious. A few of us ordered desserts. Not sure why, we were so stuffed by the portions. There were plenty of to go boxes. 😂“

“It's always lovely to have dinner at Plaza Grill. We were warmly greeted by the lovely hostess,the table I prefer is right by the entrance door,it's very quiet and one can actually have a conversation, soft music was playing in the background and the waitress Neves(sp) was attending to our needs without having to find her when we needed something. I had the Wedge as an appetizer and the crab cakes,it was so much food that I took home the left overs for the next day. Of course there was always room for espresso ice cream. It is the best restaurant in the keys, definitely in Marathon,I can't wait to go back, love everything about it. Thank you“

We ordered a few different foods, and everything was great. Especially the blackened fish tacos.“

“There are LOT of good food choices down in The Keys, but this was easily our best meal. The Cuban elements were ridiculously good. Wonderfully seasoned and every bite felt like home cooking. Their Key Lime Pie was basically a religious experience. Pretty sure the pastry chef's hands were anointed by The Lord. Thanks again, Stephen!“
