    Food and drinks not worth the money at all. Your paying for the location and ambience, being right on the ocean. I wasn't very happy with my 5 Small scallops, in my scallop dish. My better half did not think the potato item served with the grouper dish was good or very appetizing to even look at. Grey in color and mushy. I had a smokey old fashioned, did not even smell smoked and was 1/2 of a drink. Ive had old fashioneds at other bars etc and have never had a half glass in a small glass for $16.

    We've dined at Four Marlins many times. We arrived on time for our reservation and were greeted cheerfully by the hostess. We were taken to our table, right on the end of the patio overlooking the beach. It was beautiful. Then we waited for about 13 minutes for our server to greet us. No mention was made regarding her delay in getting to us. She was delightful otherwise and delivered impeccable service. My husband ordered the braised short rib which he raved about. I ordered the citrus grouper which I raved about. When we've dined at Four Marlins in the past, there has been an awning overhead. It was gone this time. We both noticed and commented that it's absence was unfortunate and effected the quality of our overall experience.

    The view was amazing and the service was very good. Though, I should have known something was up when I could find reservations very last minute. The food was very good, but very overpriced.

    They were out of most of the main dishes and we ate at 5:30. The food runner took care of us more than our server. She never refilled my tea. 15 minutes after ordering an appetizer she comes back and tells us they are out of oysters. It was not a good experience for $138. I will not be going back

    Excellent food. Fish and chips (sweet potato fries and whole bone-in yellow tail). New dish, country cauliflower “steak” covered in stewed okra and caramelized onion = delish. Non-vegan steak loving wife said delish! Courteous waitstaff for us, table next to us was not so lucky. Worth it for the view and good food. Not the restaurant’s fault, a natural oil/gas odor from the beach comes and goes. Would return despite it.

    Spiny lobster at $58 was over priced for a tiny portion with a dubious sauce on top. We ordered hummingbird cake for our anniversary which was extremely dry but had a good frosting. The server said it was supposed to be dry? When ordering drinks to start we were warned they could take awhile but the restaurant was not full huh? The lobster Mac n cheese was excellent. We did note it was our anniversary but no one made any mention. Oh well.

    Purpose of dining was anniversary. This was not acknowledged but certainly did not push it from my side. If this is important make sure you remind them during seating and dinner. Service was great and food awesome. Simple and light and fresh. Oysters small plate and duck confit were great. Fish n Chips also very good. Suggest key lime or hummingbird cake to finish.

    Very expensive even by Key West standards. Fish ‘n Chips $48. Doesn’t even come with a bread basket. Over $350 for 2 - included a moderate priced bottle of wine. Would not return.

    Nice setting and attentive service. While the menu is fine there are only approximately 20 items. The conch and scallop appetizers were excellent. The Fish & Chips was outstanding with Snapper being the fish offering, so much better than the typical cod.

    First time dining here and we are local Key West residents. We will be back again as overall it was a pleasant experience and good meal. We were here on a Saturday evening and requested patio - there was a wedding party tent on the beach with a live band which was somewhat distracting from our experience. That’s on us not the property, so next time we’ll reserve a week night or inquire about scheduled events.

    Fish dishes were good but my wife and I got the short ribs and they were over cooked and tough, first non tender short ribs that we ever had. Told the manager and waitress and both said sorry but did not offer any compensation ! Also overpriced and the waitress was slow and forgetful. As a Diamond Hilton member i can recommend breakfast and lunch, but not dinner.
