50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Tavernier

“😋Had a great experience at Calypso Sur in Tavernier. It's a small place with a laid back, super casual vibe and the food is extra special .... so good! We had the She Crab soup (delicious), the Hogfish Tacos and Hogfish sandwich (both great, super fresh and perfectly seasoned) and a Jalapeno Steak sandwich (loaded with yumminess). The owner/chef (who has received many cooking award trophies that were displayed) took care of us this Tuesday night on his own ... and we felt special in his "house"! We left with "Wow, that was awesome!" Don't be offset by the small setting. While we were there an officer came in to order. You know if the local first responders are there, it's got to be good! Thanks!“

“Wonderful food and great service. Just what we needed for a lunch stop off.“

“Fast and friendly service, very clean, and the food was fantastic, we had the chowder, the fish tacos and the shrimp! The Key Lime pie was amazing as well 👍“

“Really delicious food and friendly service. My wife had the conch sandwich which she loved and I had the crispy shredded pork which were delicious as was the moros y christianos on the side. The fresh brewed iced tea was very good too. I love a simple, unassuming restaurant that serves excellent food with great service.“

“I am a local and this is one of my favorite pubs.“

“Specials, steaks, salads are very good. Tonight was the exception— very busy, service was very slow and food was barely warm. Had shrimp/scallop special and was lukewarm at best. Shrimp was dried and tough. Like itd been under a warming lamp too warm“

“Very friendly staff and the food was delicious! The owner came out and spoke and was a genuinely really nice guy! Thanks for a great time!“

“Wow! I had been craving some good seafood chowder and I am always happy to try a Florida Keys fan favorite of Keylime pie.
Both were well beyond my expectations. Shane took care of us and was totally top-notch. You can drive by this place and easily miss it because it sits on a drive that is below Rt 1. Be on the lookout for it. I promise you will not be disappointed.“

“Expected a greasy diner experience - instead had a 2 star Michelin dinner. Service was prompt and courteous. Will definitely be coming back.“

“Amazing dining experience and really great food at great prices! It’s a key’s staple! My one preference is more boiled food options, but most seafood restaurants in the keys and the U.S. for that matter prefers fried so it is what it is. At least I found a few non -fried options like the Cajun crabs.“

“Excellent service, delicious food, and great atmosphere! Highly recommend! If you’re vegan, they have options! 💜💚😻“

“Kindler has a beautiful and creative menu! Everything I tasted was perfectly balanced and seasoned. Thank you to the executive chef and server Edwin who both made my visits memorable“

“Stopped by Islamorada Shrimp Shack for takeout and tried the alligator bites and shrimp fritters. The alligator was a bit under-seasoned and definitely needed a dip in remoulade to bring it to life. The shrimp fritters, however, were on point—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and absolutely delicious. Bonus points for the wonderfully friendly staff, who made the stop a super pleasant one. They were also fast and got us back on the road in no time.“

“FANTASTIC Food, atmosphere, clean restrooms and staff!!! We had Snow Crab Legs and Shrimp Scampi Pasta that were fantastic! HUGE portions so think before you order as you will miss dessert!! Club Kelly, Jim and Melanie Kelly, Winter Garden, FL love Lazy Days!! We will be back!! Well done Randy!“

“It was a delicious sandwich (roll) lobster 🦞, very simple, small area, prices same as other places that serve lobster rolls, ❣️ but excellent, including very cute quaint curio shops, we go in and enjoy lobster rolls every chance we get to head to the Florida Keys. ❣️try it ‼️ it's always an adventure ❣️“

“They were very packed during the first day of of the lobster event where it was 20 bucks for the meal. They were so busy and and the workers continue to keep up with the very hot heat. This was my family‘s first time going out there. We going out there again on Sunday because we enjoyed the music and the food was great. The pricing for the lobster meal was a good price.“

“On vacation in the keys and my son wanted to try fishing. We stopped into this shop looking for tackle. The staff were more than welcoming and very helpful. They put us on the right gear to use to catch fish. They also gave my son a tour of the live baits they sell. Amazing place, if you’re in the area I highly recommend you stopping in there!“

“Great place! The tropical drinks were fantastic. I would recommend the blue fresh. It was clean and crisp. We had the smoked fish dip as an appetizer. It was a little dry but had a great flavor. For entrees, we had the watermelon salad, mahi club and jerk bbq chicken. Watermelon salad was 7/10 it had a healthy amount of watermelon and topped with pistachios. The jerk chicken was absolutely phenomenal! However, the mahi club left something to be desired. The flavor was good, but they really gave a small portion for what it should’ve had.“

“They kept the charm of the old Marker 88 in little details like keep the 2 GREEN covered table and benches almost in the same location as before... a iconic scene was shot in one of them on a episode of BLOODLINE. Food is as good if not better than before if that is possible.... service is excellent too. Friendly staff including hostess/host and waitresses/waiters very impressed with the new dock and WOW EVERY table has a GREAT view to take in LOTS of selfies were being taken during my visit, I celebrated my 78th Birthday 1 day before and had Fresh Mahi Mahi Tacos for Lunch. So happy they did a complete do over after the destruction from the hurricane that so much damage to the beautiful Keys. Welcome Back Marker 88! Happy to see you there....“

We had a Peruvian beer Hilary recommended and some sake. The rolls were delicious and the whole night was wonderful: ask for Hilary when you go. 5 stars!“

“Love this restaurant! 10/10. We had the fish and chip-best I have ever had! We also had the key lime pie because you have to when you are in the Keys! Soooo good! Then there is the atmosphere-tarpons swimming by, pelicans floating, and the view-wow! To add to that there was great music from a singer (didn’t catch his name) and a wonderful waitress! Definitely will be back!“

“The very best Key Lime Colada in the Keys! Amazing prices and food! Beautiful outdoor setting for watching the sunset.“

“If you're looking for one of the best ocean views in Islamorada, The Sandbar is a must visit! The atmosphere is perfect — not too crowded, and the live music adds a great touch without being overwhelming. The real standout, though, is bartender Carlos. He’s an absolute gem — friendly, attentive, and always makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing, enjoyable time by the water!“
