We came for Mother's Day brunch. It was a beautiful location, the food was good and the service was pretty good as well. However the value per person for what the buffet actually was , was NOT worth it. It was almost 70$ a head, which we knew before hand, but for that price we were expecting a lot more good options on the buffet. It was mostly breakfast stuff. Had we known the buffet had such little options , we would have went elsewhere. Would like to come back and try their normal every day menu , however the Mother's Day buffet was extremely overrated .

Although still undergoing renovations, the outdoor (under cover) seating was lovely. We had a pre-sunset reservation but the exposure of the venue was towards the north and the setting sun was mostly obscured by the trees on the west edge of the dining area. However, the setting sun did perfectly light up the lighthouse itself during sunset - making for a very nice photo opp. Our server, Katy, was awesome !! Very helpful and informative with a great personality - would ask to be seated with her again for sure. We shared the Chopped Salad which we found to be excellent. The Mahi special dinner and the Prime Rib (16 oz) were cooked to perfection and delicious. We would just critique both dishes as lacking in presentation. Both were more than adequate in the protein portion size and while the Prime Rib was accompanied by au jus, horse radish and mashed potatoes it would have benefited greatly from the addition of even a small addition of a green vegetable, like a few spears of asparagus or green beans. Likewise the Mahi was surrounded by more quinoa blend than one would expect. Cucumber slices adorned the quinoa, some topped with half cherry tomatoes and some with tomato pieces. Again, this dish would have greatly benefitted from the addition of even a small portion of a green vegetable. To finish, we shared a very nice sized slice of Key Lime pie, which favored being a little more sweet than tart, accompanied by some berries and whipped cream. All in all a very nice dining experience!

The menu for lunch has no options for gluten free. Waiter tried to accommodate me but everything he offered was not gluten free or limited with cross contamination. Unfortunately, other then a salad there was no other real "meal" to eat. Peel and eat shrimp, fish dip but only had 3 carrots to eat it with, couldn't tell me is Caesar dressing was gluten free. No gluten free bread for sandwiches, and most of the sandwiches were breaded and fried. Will not go back unfortunately, though the view was great, nice place, nice waiter.

A real treat every time we return for lunch or dinner. The food, service and view of the marina are worth every penny.

It was ah-mazing!! Great service from Eric the bartender. I am here visiting, but will try to squeeze in another visit to this amazing venue... ride bikes down from City Marina. Beautiful venue.

There is no prettier place to eat in Marathon. The menu is small because everything you eat is freshly made and delicious. There was a wedding going on the same time we at and the staff was still attentive.

Top-notch bartender! The food and drinks were excellent and the view is breathtaking. I will say that the "crostini" for the mussels was either an afterthought or the chef did not want to put in the effort toward the end of his shift. Regardless, we enjoyed our visit.

Went for the $85 Easter brunch. Everything in the food servers was cold. Candles under servers were burned out. Complained but even after burners lit food still cold. They did have ham and prime rib and an omelette and waffle table to cook to your liking. Pretty much saved the day. Definitely not an $85 meal. You also would have thought for Easter Buffet there would have been tablecloths on the tables to make it feel more special! Complained several times about cold food. Will see if they discount our bill. They did take half off our bill . It was worth that and Jennifer was an exceptional waitress!
Our overall experience was great! It started out a bit rocky with management trying to blame us for the fact that they attempted to seat our party of 7 at a table for 6. He said I made the reservation for 6 which I quickly showed him that that was in fact incorrect. He quickly took the blame. The server was awesome. We will definitely be back.
Fabulous evening with great food, wonderful entertainment and Aaron, our server, was amazing. The manager, John, visited our table checking on us multiple times. This is one of our favorite restaurants in the Keys. Until next time.

We were seated inside which was disappointing but OK we accepted that. We were the only people inside and yet we were shown a table where my wife's view was the kitchen door. Another party were also seated inside so there were six of us, hardly an excuse to be seated as we were. We have had some wonderful meals in the Keys but this one was the poorest

This place is such a waste. Musty, sticky, trashy are my words to describe this place. It's dirty the food is dirty, I just fully regret eating here. Low quality food is what it is.
