Food was delicious and the sunset was amazing. Pricey but worth it for what we had. Server could have been a little more friendly but overall attentive. They asked if we were celebrating anything and we mentioned it was our honeymoon. That was as far as it went so I am not sure why they asked. Overall good spot and great food

We thought we would have a nice quiet dinner for our Anniversary. The overall experience fell somewhat short. The food & service were good. The Bistro was noisy. It was warm as the AC either wasn't working or was just unable to keep the restaurant cool. Expensive for what was delivered on the overall experience.

Disappointing experience. Service was terrible but food was good. We booked this restaurant because it claimed to be waterfront and offered great sunset views. Technically it’s next to the water but the walkway gets completely packed with people so we didn’t see the sunset at all.

Fairly nice place where outside seating is better than inside. Plain vanilla I side with no ambiance. Service was friendly. Had to ask twice for bread. Crafted drinks lacked pazzaz, but alcohol was not spared. Gazpacho and salad were best parts of the experience.

Food, service, waiters, everything was great! If eating here to enjoy the view, due to the crowds, you won’t be able to see the sunset from the patio (too many tourist blocking the view). Ask for balcony seating so that you’re above ground level and can enjoy the view.

Martinis were excellent! Appetizers were excellent! Garlic shrimp flatbread, and crab cakes. Entrees were excellent! Mahimahi on a bed of mac n cheese was outstanding! Key Lime Pie was outstanding! I honestly can't say I have EVER been to a restaurant where everything was this good. I highly recommend this restaurant. Reservations needed. Service was great. No complaint about any part of our experience at this restaurant.

The food was excellent and the valet at the Opal Key Resort was extremely friendly and helpful with my sister who needed a wheelchair. The service unfortunately was unusually slow and inattentive for the price point. The waiter basically ignored us after the food was served despite a 5 pm reservation and few people in the restaurant.

The waiter didn't make eye contact and appeared as if he didn't want to be there or to be helping us. It took over an hour to get our entrees and when we received them the steak was only seared on one side and the lobster was burnt. Both the food and service was poor which is particularly unacceptable when the bill was over $200. We would not go there again and would not recommend it to others.
