Super nice location. Excellent quality for the food. The staff is competent and attentive. I had a mezcal cocktail that was delicious. The setting offers a relaxed view of a canal that opens to the ocean. We happened to be honored to see two baby manatees with their mother.

We aren’t usually left speechless, but today we were. From service down to the taste, dinner was exceptional. Our server, Bobby, was truly a delight and enhanced our experience that much more. The seafood combo in lemon pepper with Parmesan cheese and the mahi in Jamaican jerk were absolutely DELICIOUS. A stellar dinner indeed!

Great atmosphere, dockside with canal view of the ocean. The Rum Runner was delightful, conch chowder was delectable, ordered the tuna melt & fries, more than ample, and all was tasty and delicious. My wife ordered the Greek Salad and called it the best one she has ever had. We will frequent often when in Key Largo.

They seated our entire group incredibly quickly, and the service was some of the fastest and most efficient we’ve experienced …

Absolutely wonderful waterfront restaurant! Perfect way to start our Keys vacation with lunch with 8 of us. Indoor seating, covered outdoor seating, indoor bar and smaller outside Tiki Bar. Joins a marina and sits in a beautiful canal. The only reason I’m giving service a 4 is because the hostess seemed miserable doing her job. She wasn’t nasty, just wasn’t …

What a great find! Our server, Bobby was wonderful. We had the ceviche, shrimp basket and blackened Mahi fish tacos. Ceviche was fresh, just the right amount of lemon and seasoning. Delicious 😋 Shrimp were lightly battered and plumb. But the Mahi tacos were amazing. Flavorful and plenty of crunch and fish. Highly recommend making a trip if you are …
