The Rhum House

Exceptional service, attention, ambience and food. We celebrated Valentines Day and had a wonderful time. The staff from COO to servers are outstanding.

Food was all good, bang bang shrimp, beet salad, and we had fish specials, grouper and wahoo.
We weren't really thrilled with the cocktail menu, but we each ordered something and altho tasty, very weak in the alcohol category. $19 bushwhacker tasted like a mocktail.

The beet salad was good. Paid $18 for 4 ounces of red wine. The grouper was undercooked, stringy, lacked flavor. The pesto pasta was eatable, but not impressive for $26. Mushrooms essentially raw. Service was lovely, can tell it’s a pretty setting. Would come back if the food were worth the price of being there.

We went to The Rhum House to try somewhere new and off the beaten path. We were so positively surprised by the atmosphere and friendly service. We have been back a second time and found the food to be excellent both times. Especially meat dishes. The pricing is a bit high but the experience seemed worth it. We like the friendly relaxed demeanor. The Rhum House is now on our regular visiting list. Especially for special occasions.

Had a wonderful dinner last night. Started at the bar, enjoyed the banter with Robbie who’s an excellent bartender. He gave us an excellent suggestion for our appetizer, a special sushi roll that was truly delicious.

Our server, Max, was fantastic. She’s friendly, professional and took care of us wonderfully. We ordered the ribeye special and it was cooked perfectly, medium rare as ordered.

This was our 6th time dining here over the past few years, both before and after the menu change. We’ve never been disappointed with our food, and love the new menu.

We’ll be back!

Hands down the BEST dining experience anywhere near Marathon Key. For starters the design is beautiful. The bar is made from hurricane recovered lumber and the wood floors are stunning. The food was fantastic. We started with the most popular roll and had the curry snapper. After dinner we had the best old fashioned’s at the bar. This is a must do. If you like good food then this is your place. They also have a bar with live music on the rooftop.

What an oasis this place was !! Let me start by saying I’m one of those “food allergy” folks that has a hard time finding safe food to eat. Having said that, I need to convey just how great everyone was to deal with.

We started light with the rooftop patio for finger food and a couple drinks one evening. We were served by Ryan and she was fantastic. Snacks were so good we made a reservation in the restaurant for the next evening. The Rhum house did not disappoint. Alex was phenomenal. We discussed my needs and got it all figured out. The food, service and ambiance were all excellent. 11 out of 10.

We’ve been renting a vacation house next to the resort for a long time. Through our visits we’ve watched the continued repairs/renovations/progression over the years and can’t speak enough to the good we see at this place. We’re just sorry we didn’t come to eat sooner. We know better now.

Ps. Ryan’s Margarita was the real winner.

New Year's eve dinner. Amazing. First time here. got the tomahawk steak. One of the best steaks I've ever had. No additional seasoning needed. We also got a couple sushi rolls, tuna tartar and pork belly. All of it was good. For dessert, the fruit salad was amazing. Noah was a great attentive waiter.

The Black Grouper Coconut Curry was caught the same day, and bursting with incredible flavor! And the Beef Tartare was insane! It was seriously one of the best meals in my life! This restaurant truly is a hidden gem nestled along the shoreline of the Atlantic in Marathon, FL. A “must stop” for every foodie out there! Thank you Chef John!
P.S. He also makes the flourless chocolate cakes, NY Cheesecakes, and (but of course!), the Key Lime Pies!!!!!!

I want to start this review by saying we LOVE the Rhum house. We live in Islamorada and love coming here.

Tonight’s experience wasn’t what we have come to love about Rhum House, but the manager Areta, server Noah, and Tiago the busser truly tried making everything better. And sometimes that’s all that matters.

2/3 entrees came out over done and they quickly replaced them and they came out cooked completely perfect.

It could’ve ruined our evening but they did not let it. Tonight was a lesson that everyone has bad/busy nights and not to jump to completely uproar. Thank you Areta and staff for all you do! Your owners should be very proud of the work you do for him!

We will see you again soon!

We arrived in Marathon on Christmas Day and we made our dinner reservations here a few days in advance. This was our first time to the keys and our first meal here. We were absolutely blown away. The service was outstanding. The food was absolutely incredible. Loved the craft drinks and the beautiful view. This location and the experience definitely does not disappoint! Highly recommended if you are looking for a special place to enjoy a wonderful meal with your people.

This year, we chose The Rhum House for our company Christmas party, and from start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The staff truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless, keeping us informed, comfortable, and confident throughout the planning process. Communication was easy and prompt, and every question we had was handled with care.

On the evening of the event, the entire team was attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming, making each of our guests feel special and well taken care of. We began with a cocktail hour on the Palm Deck, followed by a plated dinner downstairs in the restaurant. The appetizers during cocktail hour were excellent, and the meal itself was nothing short of incredible—fresh, creative, and beautifully prepared dishes that everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

The atmosphere is unmatched, thoughtfully designed, and truly unique for the Keys. Our group of 50 locals loved every minute of it. Thank you for making our Christmas party so memorable and special. We will absolutely be planning to return next year.
