Crow's Nest Restaurant, Tavern & Marina

Great food and great service by Brittney. The food took just a few minutes from time we ordered to the time we received our meals.

Four of us had lunch and sat outside. Ordered poke special, chicken panko salad, clam chowder, Cobb salad, and crab cake. All were cooked to perfection and delicious.

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and superb service all around - a favorite and frequent spot!

The Crows Nest has always been a favorite of ours in Florida. The food is exceptional. The service is always attentive without being intrusive. If you have not eaten here. What are you waiting for?

Calamari, grouper bites, New England chowder, seafood bisque, wine. All choices were excellent

My wife and I had different specials and both were great. Staff always efficient and friendly. Really enjoy this place.

Tuna steak was fantastic! Our server Angela was wonderful

Good food and beautiful view were spoiled by the server who was not very helpful nor very present, and who seemed to be a bit condescending. Not sure why he exhibited this behavior. Otherwise quite a pleasant spot for lunch.

Crows Nest is OK. Not great, not horrible. Parking can be competitive. The Good: Service has always been 4-5*. The view is a 3.5*. The food will sustain life although it did give me nasty stomach cramps once. I think it was bad beurre blanc. They have a good selection of beers. The Bad: Their food can be bland. There are not many options for healthy eaters. My wife had the veggie wrap and I ordered the Atlantic Salmon. The wrap would have been fine had the veggies been cut smaller. It was hard for her to eat. The salmon came dry. It did have sauce on the side, but that had near zero flavor. It was my 69th birthday, so on to dessert. What they called tiramisu was more like cream cake. No discernible espresso or rum flavor. The Key-lime pie was apparently mislabeled. Creamy custard like, but no lime flavor at all unless you ate the lime wedge on top. Something akin to canned white frosting was drizzled around the plate. I admit I prefer bold flavors. Thai, Indian, and Southern cuisine are great. If you have ever eaten in Sante Fe NM you may know what I mean. But all you really need to make anything taste better is a good sauce. The waiter did agree to bring some jalapeno slices. They were the pickled from a jar variety however and not fresh. I added them to the veggies. I have given Crows Nest at least a half dozen visits. Will I go back, well never say never, but it will not be my first choice. As much as I enjoy watching the boats go by with a cold beer in my hand, I have options. Nokomos, Fins, Deep Lagoon, Casey Key, etc. Life is short and getting shorter every day. Too short to eat bland food. I usually have to carry my own sauce but forgot it that day. Question is, for nearly $100, should I have too? I know folks who think black pepper is too spicy, so i understand the bland baseline dishes, but how hard would it be for them to have options?

Vegetarian options: I'm more vegan + seafood + dessert. Very few things I will eat here.

Fantastic place for some fresh seafood after a day at the beach. The view from the upstairs outdoor patio was amazing. The fried grouper was cooked perfectly and the raw oysters were delicious. We will definitely return
