    Made reservations for 1:00 on Mothers Day. Arrived early and was told by the bartender that reserved seating did not start until 5:00? Sat at the bar. Had meatballs on a stick, side Caesar salad, and lobster ravioli, which were excellent. Ordered a sausage and pepperoni pizza that took about 45 minutes to arrive after the appetizers. It did not have sausage on it either. Pizza was mediocre at best. Probably should be on a kids menu, to be honest. Gratuity was automatically included in the bill...which is odd for a seating of two people. We would probably give it another try, but will not be adding to our go to restaurants in Marathon.

    Folding metal chairs to sit on, Music way to loud for dinner, entertaining the bar patrons. Generic ketchup and condiments. Not what I was expecting and won't be retuning ever.

    We sat by the pool and listened to a good band and even danced. The wait staff were Greek and delightful. The food was good and so were the drinks. Wasn’t thrilled with the thin plastic cup though.

    Informal restaurant with seating by the pool at Skipjack Resort. One server who was hostess server et al. Food was fresh and good. Not a gourmet establishment. Pricing reasonable. Overall pleasant for our last night in the Keys.

    Went Skipjacks after day of boating Sat at a tall bar table for food is delicious. Although there were a few items that they should not have GDP not having their order the food has a Greek flair. Very delicious.

    This is basically dining on the pool deck of a mid-level beach hotel in a seemingly sketchy part of the island. The food was very good and the server was attentive, but the building blocked any view and Mondays are Karaoke night which starts at 6 p.m, so there was a lot of noise. Probably a great choice for college kids on spring break, but not what we were expecting.

    This isn’t really a restaurant, it is literally a pool-side bar. When we arrived the bartender said they were out of fish. No fish and chips, no fish tacos, no grouper. We had a beer and went to another restaurant for food.

    Went there on a recommendation we saw on facebook showing wonderful looking sushi and sashimi. Walking in to the poolside restaurant we heard a really good live band playing and we were escorted to a poolside table some people singing and dancing. We were given a small menu, but not the sushi dishes we had seen on facebook. All in all the food was much less than we had expected, mostly fried and battered food that keeps you awake at night. So didappointed with the food but enjoyed the band and ambiance.

    Service was fantastic!!! Outdoor band made it a bit loud but they quickly honored our request upon arrival & sat us farther away. The band was also fabulous. We’ll be back!

    The food was amazing. I’ve never had octopus that tasted that good! Siting next to pool listening to live music was a great vibe. The outside bar was packed because of the live music so drinks were a little slow in coming, but other than that, can’t wait to go back.
