About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Kid-friendly
  • Great for scenic views
Angler & Ale, an amazing restaurant where you can grab a waterfront table, dig into some of the Key’s favorite dishes, and wash it down with a frosty cold, fresh-from-the-tap brew or a crafted cocktail. Better yet, bring in your own catch for a hook-and-cook feast prepared by our expert chefs. Great service. Delicious food. Icy-cold beer. Doesn’t get any better than that. Our outdoor seating is non reservable and based on availability at the time of your seating.

    Great family dinner with amazing views of the Marina and energetic live music. My daughter loved the seared scallops. Tuna nachos for a starter are great. The fresh hog fish and lobster also looed great. We timed our reservation to match the start of the 7 pm live music. Looking forward to return and have a drink at the bar and see which artist is performing. The manager Garlin and Kesha took great care of us.

    BEWARE! Save yourself the hassle/disappointment and go elsewhere! We’ve been vacationing at Hawks Cay for over a decade and this was the worst experience! The menu has changed, the food overpriced and lacking in substance our meal for 4 was $245. With only one overpriced Mojito which I was charged $16. For a mojito and an additional $4 for “classic” so not sure HOW they came to this conclusion as the pineapple mojito was $16 but I said regular so I was up charged $4. Ceviche chips were stale,. We ordered the grilled fish which was to come with vegetables however we were charged extra $7 for two pieces of asparagus and 2 broccoli! This restaurant will not survive if they continue to offer poor food choices, zero service, and overcharge customers! They do not offer the crab cake, lobster Mac n cheese or black beans and rice anymore!!! Read reviews DO NOT GO! Not to mention room the bus boys were right at table waiting to take our dishes!

    Food portions small no value for you money. Air conditioner not working and it was very unpleasant to have dinner. Management did not really care for the customers being so uncomfortable.

    Angler & Ale did a fantastic job accomodating our large out of town crew. They had live entertainment on the Thursday night we went in which our entire party enjoyed. The waitresses were very nice and their service was great! I had a couple of rum punch drinks & the lobster dish and all were very good. Shoutout to Holden (manager) and his crew for a fantastic evening.

    Dear Garrett, Thank you for sharing such a positive review. We’re thrilled to hear your group had a great time and that our team made everyone feel right at home.

    We dined here the Saturday night of Memorial Day weekend with an 8:45pm. I believe the restaurant was completely overwhelmed with the number of people and didn’t have the staff to support the crowds. Multiple wine selections were out of stock and overall the staff was very slow to respond/serve/follow up with info. Better communication and transparency would have gone a long way.

    The best restaurant we’ve eaten at in the mid-keys! We sat outside on the deck just prior to sunset for our dinner, and it had both a great view of the small harbor and bay, and excellent food; you normally only get one or the other. My wife and I had fresh seared Grouper with the tropical salsa and Mahi Mahi with piccata sauce, and both were fabulous. Our server had just the right amount of service; not hovering nor nowhere to be seen. And coconut carrot cake!
