Oysters on the half shell are a MUST!! So good, large, and fresh. Calamari and shrimp are delicious as well. Been coming to this place for 40 years, the BEST seafood in Key West.

The oyster were delicious! But we also took the conch salad and conch fritters and it was ok. The view was nice.

We stopped in yesterday For lunch to celebrate my husband’s birthday and really was not impressed at all. our waitress was good but the food overall was a huge disappointment especially for the price. My husband got the boiled lobster combo around $45the mahi-mahi tasted old with three over cooked shrimp as well as the lobster was so Chewy and dry virtually inedible he only had a few bites of the whole meal, mine which was the boiled combo around $30 mahi-mahi as well did not taste fresh with three overly cooked chewy shrimp , the scallops were OK nothing special just average, coleslaw was good though??‍♀️. Food wise definitely one of the worst meals we’ve had in a while

This used to be our favorite place to go for dinner not anymore. Prices are horrible and food is not good. Cob corn is gross as was the hogfish that was overcooked. Server was not to good & terrible with masks when state of FL says its a choice.

I have a mother with breathing problems and heart stints. She is unable to wear a mask. Especially when there weather is hot and humid. To save her the trouble of dealing with Difficult hosts I will often test if they will let her in. Mind you my mother has already had and survived Covid. Today your staff member denied my entrance which means she would have denied hers. Shame on you. It’s against the law and you know it. I’m sure it doesn’t matter as you clearly have made it through the worst of Covid unlike your competitors. You will not get a dollar of my money.

They'll check your temperature before you can go in. Seating is outside and in. View of the water is a treat. Food is excellent and the prices are fair.

Honestly, fine. If you want to sit by the water and at “market prices”, go for it. Does the host take your temp? Yes. Does he not look at the broken screen? Yes. If you ask him for absolutely anything, will he be put out? Yes. Ordered an app asked for bread. Bread can’t come unless it is an engraved invite from the sever. Brought the wrong food to our table. Had to tell the server we didn’t order that. She piled trash on top and walked away only to serve to a table next to us as gratis who tripped and were impaled on the fence. Yikes.

Reviews said best happy hour, I would disagree. Had to walk all the way to end of the area. Only wine, beer, and well drinks. No specialty drinks as stated in reviews. Very little food to chose from on happy hour menu, certainly not inviting Would not recommend the walk. Also, no music, poor atmosphere.
