Angler & Ale at Hawks Cay

$30 and under
Caribbean
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.

    The baked potatoes tasted a couple days old. The steak was terrible. The ribs were tough. Not resort for at all. Overpriced as well.

    Waited 50 min from arrival for anyone to greet us at our table, and that was only AFTER we said something about it to someone, otherwise who knows when a waiter/waitress would’ve came. Food was average at best. Do better people

    The ambiance was wonderful, and our server was great. However, our food was not worth the $$$. My fish was dry and not flavorful and my vegetables were cold.

    Restaurant is conveniently located at the resort. There is a shuttle. Good drink choices. We had a reservation and were sat quickly upon arrival. Service was good and server very friendly. Nice restaurant, but food was average and not hot when served.

    Staying at Hawks Cay and made reservations here. Hostess was accommodating and server was friendly and attentive. Sitting outside made the experience worth it as it is pretty and relaxing with the breeze. I read reviews ahead of time so my expectations were low. I’d say it met my expectations based on that. Husband and son had burgers which were average. Daughter had grilled chicken and fries which was fine. I had the fresh catch with cauliflower and rice. It was as the reviews described - dry, flavorless, sub-par for a resort like this. I can’t imagine how hard it is to find and keep staff around here. I hope the resort owner can invest in training his chef. Not even being able to cook basic dishes (hard rice, flavorless food) is sad. Margarita was also a let down. Not many options here but if you are looking for food that is tasty I would not go here. Hoping they figure it out soon!!!

    Our server was very nice. She made our terrible experience better. Ordered the fish dip. It had a strong fish taste and chips were stale. The fish tacos were slimy and not prepared well. I had the catch of the day and it was good however not worth $52 based on the ambiance and overall experience. I would not return to this restaurant.
