Casey was our waiter and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great anniversary dinner. The grouper was excellent, as well as the cocktails. The acoustic guitar singer added to the ambiance. We sat on the patio with a view of the boats and lighthouse, which was lit up for Christmas. Would recommend.

Thank you so much for a memorable Thanksgiving feast. We decided to opt for the premium option, and we were really blown away by the variety and quantity of the meal. Our server was really kind and responsive. They did run out of our pick of dessert, but that's no big deal.

Apparently under new mgt. It has changed so much There are not steaks on menus, They don’t squeeze fresh just for cocktails any longer. Super down graded in quality. If you want good quality don’t go. Such a disappointment. Not the same as it was 2 years ago

Not what it used to be when we first visited 10 years ago… a couple of the meals were good, but several were C-……my lardons in my salad were uncooked (ie raw bacon) not crisp, and my mussels were cold and the broth cool…like they had been cooked well before they were served. Ambiance and service were both lacking…. In short not what I had represented to our family party of 10 …. Would hesitate to book again unless reviews picked up and were strongly positive.

Terrible Caesar salad. Limp leafy romaine, tasteless dressing, almost no cheese and limp croutons. Shrimp cocktail shrimp were seasoned with bay spices not noted on menu. Shrimp were not fresh.. Lemon risotto scallops were very good but 4 small scallops for $39.

We were only on Marathon Key for four nights and this was our favorite place we dined. My husband had the yellow tail snapper which he claimed was the best he had ever eaten. It was whole with the head on and probably weighed 3 pounds. I had the skirt steak and it was cooked exactly the way I like it- medium rare. Our waiters name was Edwin and he could t have been nicer or more efficient. Perfect evening. Don’t hesitate to go there. It was an unforgettable meal!

The only thing I enjoyed was the appetizer. My poke bowl was nothing like a poke bowl. All rice and not tasty rice, tuna and edamame. That’s all there was in it and no sauce. Horrible. Their key lime pie, not good.

The service was excellent, however the food was subpar. Especially at that price point. The mussels were absolutely horrible. Our waitress should have noticed that we only ate four to five of them and taking them off our bill. My prime rib was heated to medium on a flat top. Although it tasted okay, this isn't the traditional heating method for prime rib. The scallops were okay and the risotto was underdone. I chalked the whole experience up to it being "off season". Either way I wouldn't go back.

Service and server was excellent. The food was good. The prime rib was correct, mashed potatoes were done well. My wife had the scallops but there were 3 on a bed of risotto. A bit underwhelming. I took off 1 star since the food was good but not better than other local places comparatively. Prices were not totally unfair but portions felt unequal 12 oz prime rib and seared scallops (3). The same price did not make much sense. My wife ate a second dinner later.
