$31 to $50
Contemporary American
Angler & Ale, a new 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. Better yet, bring in your own catch for a hook-and-cook feast prepared by our expert chefs. Great food. Cold beer. And fishing. Doesn’t get any better than that. Outdoor dining is non-reservable and based on availability at time of seating.

    Had a reservation and were seated somewhat promptly outdoors. No host stand or way to check in. View was very scenic. Server was absolutely outstanding. Food was excellent. Table next to us had several kids under 12 jumping around and screaming at the top of their lungs with nobody keeping them in check as did table across from us. Three empty tables around us piled high with dirty dishes. Guess there were no bus people working that night. We didn’t stay for dessert.

    They were slammed due the rain bringing everyone inside and staffing. So the manager Matt stepped in and became a server for our party of 8 with a 7pm reservation. His customer service was phenomenal and the food was great ✔️

    Very overpriced for the setting and food quality. Kids max and cheese was microwaved Kraft brand. Wife got a salad and the avocado was mashed from a package not fresh. Ambience was more like a Cracker Barrel than a nice seafood shack for the prices they charge they are dripping the ball.

    This was our second time there in one week because the food ( macadamia crusted swordfish and salmon w French prep) were amazing. This time my husband opted for the macadamia crusted swordfish and I had the Cajun Mahi mahi. Both, again, amazing. Our server, Ralph, however, was the Icing on the cake. He greeted us the second time as if we were old friends. We highly recommend Angler and Ale.

    Came for a provider conference and ate here last night. Food and service was great however since me and my husband has had gastric sleeves we were going to share the seafood pasta. We did not ask to split it but they did and up charged us 11.00 for doing it when we could have shared it at the table. Also, the very small piece of cheesecake we received was 18.00. Very over priced and we feel taken advantage of. We will not be back.

    While the service and atmosphere were quite enjoyable, our food was cold and overcooked. The management was very accommodating and apologetic, but overall we were disappointed. Hoping it was just an off night as we’re here for a week and would like to possibly try again.

    Food was really bad, super expensive for a piece of uncooked meat, look like hospital food, although I have to say hospital food is better than what we had. The server was super nice, and I could tell she felt horrible for the way the foods was. it was not her fault. Never eating there again.

    Had a nice twilight dinner on the deck. Great dockside location. Honestly too many young kids left to running around by their parents; not the restaurants fault. Service was good if a little harried. Our fish was excellent and the fried lobster appetizer was a hit. Waiter was overwhelmed with a party of six who demanded separate checks at the END of the meal; idiots. Probably won’t go back this trip as we were looking for a less kids more adult atmosphere. Too bad 61 Prime is closed on Monday and Tuesday.

    Spent almost $400 on four meals. The fish was okay, the rice and veggies were ok. The waitress was great but the food was pretty low quality for the price. I’m from Florida and live near the water and have spent way less for way better seafood. We completely regretted going to dinner there and when we told a family member they said they would have warned us the food wasn’t that good.

    This would be the last place I would choose to eat again. The food was extremely overpriced and barely edible. We ordered oysters, scallops and yellowtail which were all over cooked and rubbery. The best part of the meal was the salad (also overpriced but decent). There was a roof leak over our table while we ate and a robot brought our appetizer. Our server was the only bright spot. For $250 (for 2), it was a total disappointment.

    We sat outside and there is no type of music no type of good ambience everyone was so quit it felt like we were being punished if you sit in the terrace the waiters rarely go out to see if you need anything so your basically waiting non stop having to stand go and inside and look for service for the prices you pay I expected something better not worth the price in my opinion.
