Great food! We had a family gathering with the opportunity to try a wonderful assortment of fantastic dishes. The eggplant tower appetizer and smoked fish dip are outstanding. The salads come out cold and crisp, your choice of soup, ceaser or house salad with entrees. The entrees we tried included veal, fish, chicken and the eggplant. Everyone raved about the entrees and trying to decide which was the favorite was impossible. The cheesecake is to die for. The service is top notch, and the wine selection is unbeatable. Can't wait to go back for more. read more

I had a smash burger sorry, I didn't take a photo. It was very good can't wait to go back. The service was quick and server was fun.

Enjoyed the hog fish (if you haven't had hog fish, you must try it! Sweet, mild, delicious. Their special with artichokes & capers over angel hair was tasty. Nice wine selection, and good service. read more

What a treat! Small spot with sandwiches and wraps that pack a punch! The spot is small. Located on a corner spot of a shopping center, but it's so inviting once you step inside! Tons of wines to choose from and a cute little counter where you order. Some nice indoor and outdoor seating so you have the option. Service wise we ordered to go. But the over the phone ordering was super simple and the ladies at the front when we picked up our food were so sweet. Everything we ordered was delicious! Highly recommend the Caesar wrap and our group was very impressed with the eggplant parm sandwich. Overall a great choice for a good lunch in the Keyes! read more

Wow! Stopped for a lunch date and it is a true local not so hidden gem! Food is freshly made, plenty of seating outside or inside! A huge selection of wine and champagne! Service is super friendly and quick! But when you walk in, order and pay right away! They open at 11 am however will sit you! You can order ahead of time and come to pick it up! read more

Wonderful, local restaurant and wine bar. Friendly staff that made you feel like family. Lots of locals so you know it's good. We had the fish and shrimp tacos which were excellent. Good selection of wine and beer. Charming place that's definitely worth your time. read more

This little gem is right across the street from our condo which makes it super convenient. The food is Ahhhmazing! First night I had the eggplant parm which was delicious. We enjoyed the food so much we picked it up to go the next night. Had the NY Strip Asiago plate. The steak was cooked perfectly and the flavor as it mixed with the pasta and Asiago sauce was made it one of the best pasta dishes I've had in a long time! read more

Nice looking small Cafe and staff was great. The food I had and my husband had , had way too much olive oil on it for our liking. Other than that it was good read more

Hands down best Key lime pie EVER! Cover your entire pie with home made whip cream and thank me!

Absolutely amazing, while driving south to Key West, we saw a sign that read "best key lime pie" we pulled over, whipped into the parking lot and was greeted with a smile and a guaranteed promised that the key lime pie was the best... whelp it was the Truth!! That pie was finger licking GOOD!! It was creamy, fresh and just the right amount of lime. (I did lick the fork) it was amazing. Most importantly the STAFF, the most amazing group of people ever, the owner was very pleasant and welcoming also. The restaurant was very chic, laid back vibe indoor and outdoor. Great location! read more

It was our first time there and we were really disappointed. It took the waitress a long time to wait on us. Once we ordered a peanut butter pie, I finally asked about it 45 minutes later and she said they ran out but she waited on other people behind us. I was really disappointed because it was walking distance to where we were staying. Of course we never ordered food because we weren't waited on for an hour or so. I am so patient with the waitress atmosphere but this was out of hand. They definitely need an older manager on site instead of young people running the place. Maybe because we weren't locals?? read more

Great wine selection and awesome food and service! Definitely a great go to spot for you to try! It's a local neighborhood restaurant in islamorada. We had the cheesesteak sandwich the hot wings and pasta!delicious! read more

We ordered take away which my husband picked up. My order of two chicken tacos was ok. The chipotle sauce which was asked to be put on the side was completely forgotten. One flour tortilla was amazingly soft the other quite hard. Not sure what happened there. The order of Cappelli D ' Angelia, pasta with tomato, artichokes, capers, garlic that was ordered with chicken did not have chicken. Leftovers were put in the fridge to be soon forgotten. My only suggestion is to check your orders before you leave. read more

Great little gem in Islamorada. The service was great, bathroom was clean (that's extremely important for me) and the food was good. I ordered the Greek salad and added grilled chicken to it. The salad was fresh and tasty, the chicken could've had more flavor but the salad dressing and fresh ingredients balanced it very well so it tasted great either way. Would definitely stop here again. read more

The food is excellent and the wine selection is amazing. Great service. It is a gem in Islamorada.

Although I thought this was a wine store at first, we were pleasantly surprised by the menu. Food was amazing and service was great. I had the local catch almondine style. So good!! Hubby had shrimp over spinach, scampi style. Delish!! read more

Loved my lunch today...had the turkey club. Used yelp to find the place. Service is excellent and the sandwich was delicious Will be back for sure read more

Was trying to find something low carb in the area since I'm here for work And several people at the job suggested this place to try. They got fish tacos and all sorts of carb goodness to enjoy, seems like their sandwiches are more of a go to and they sounded amazing but I decided to try their Honey garlic chicken with a Cesar salad. To pretend I was still following my low carb diet. Essentially they were chicken tenders in sauce and as soon as I placed my order not 5 min later she came back with my food so that's fast! No complaints on the taste honestly the chicken also had a bite to it in spice. Left there full and a little bit guilty because I could have just taken the opportunity to try some of their other interesting menu items. Don't come here on a diet! Lol read more

E We're stopped in for my 60th birthday as the sign touts key lime. Mikalea was right on top of it. She brought our order right away and the key lime pie was the best I've had. Smooth, creamy and what a great flavor. We had a group picture taken by one of the other friendly staff members. The bathroom is extraordinarily well maintained. read more

One of most consistent places to eat delicious food. The staff is always friendly and welcoming regardless of how many people are pouring through the front door. This place is packed and people come here obviously for the vibe and the great food. They you have an amazing selection of wine and beer that you don't see anywhere. Specials are creative and delicious. Always start with a cup of chili, it has lots of beans lots of meat. I would recommend coming here regularly. My family has been eating here once a week for years and they deserve a great review. Thanks for always taking great care of everyone. read more

Just have the best fish tacos ever and i have been to many places in the Keys /Miami! Snapper fish tacos were on special. The tea and service were excellent too. I'm glad I stopped in. This will be one of my go to favorites on the keys. read more

Excellent food, awesome wine selection! I order from here often and we also go in for dinner often. They aim to please, for sure!

What an unassuming gem. The service is super friendly and the food was delicious. what a surprise to have such a great wine program in a casual unpretentious setting. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend the cheesesteak, burgers and potato salad. Did I mention that they have a killer wine selectionMostly California with some trophies from Bordeaux and Italy sprinkled in all priced very fairly. read more

I just had the most delicious meal here!! They were kind enough to make me a custom vegetarian friendly sandwich that was absolutely phenomenal. It was a meatless Reuben with with tomatoes, banana peppers, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and thousand island on grilled rye. All of the people in my party enjoyed their meals also. Oh and the fries and onion rings were great too!! The service was fast and friendly and I will certainly be returning to this little gem of a restaurant read more

We love their variety of soups, salads and sandwiches. We've been going there over 25 years bi-weekly

We had the nicest take away dinner from here tonight! The mahi mahi piccata was awesome and the chicken saltimbuco (sp?) was excellent. The portions are excellent sized. Bonus points: because of the wine bar onsite, we could sit outside with a glass while we waited!! read more

WOW. Talk about a hidden gem. My boyfriend and I needed a place to work on our laptops and they were more than accommodating & friendly given our long stay here. Great wine & beer selection! Definitely order the shrimp and Angel hair pasta dish. It was fantastic & best I've had. WiFi, AC, friendly atmosphere, and quaint read more

Great local spot! If your looking for something that isn't a seafood trough and need a break from fried seafood this is the place! Everyone in our party of 8 was happy with their food. The snapper special was fabulous. All the seafood was fresh. Even my vegetarian was happy with his eggplant Parmesan. The wine selection was nice. The service was good. The staff was so nice. It's a tiny spot so keep that in mind. It was a rainy evening and I'm so glad we opted for City Hall over a big restaurant by the water. It was full of locals and that says it all. read more

Terrible service and the cooks are nasty! God forbid you order any combo of anything. I do t know how this place stays open. read more

Menu sounds good but be aware that the hook & cook option on the menu is no longer continued. We went in with a fresh bag of fish and were informed that they don't cook that anymore. Hostess was nice and very respectful read more

Server was very sweet. My chicken wrap was really yummy. The burger we ordered was pretty basic even with their gourmet menu choices. Inside doesn't match vibe from cute outdoor branding. Sat outside because of COVID. I had to go close the open dumpster door - about 40 feet away. Don't really want to smell rotting, hot garbage while I'm eating. Overall - might try again, but better options. read more

You know a place is amazing, because it is where all the Locals go to eat! This isn't our first time at City Hall Cafe, we have been coming here for years! They have amazing sandwiches and entrees, but you have to check out their specials, they change them everyday (Mexican Night on Tuesday is very good). They have the best Fish Tacos and pasta in the STATE, one of my favorite. I am not a big wine guy, but my fiance is and she says that their wine selection is amazing. I am the beer guy, I LOVE THIS PLACE for beer, they have Islamorada Beer company on Tap, which is the local beer company, plus many more selections. The staff is super friendly and the service was awesome!!! Love this place! read more

We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. We ended up at this restaurant kind of process of elimination because so many restaurants were closed and the few that were open were packed. The food was absolutely delicious! We are not big seafood people but since we're in the keys my husband wanted to try some fish. The mahi pomodoro was excellent. I had the kickin chicken that was equally as delicious. It's a small, unassuming building so we weren't expecting much, but we will definitely return. read more

Best fish tacos and pasta around. We come in every time we are in the keys (at least once a month). Key lime pie and chocolate chip cookies are also insane. The beer selection doesn't disappoint! read more

As a Key Largo resident I have the pleasure to visit many local business's. Some are great and others I will never visit again. I realize tourism is important to the keys, and I feel an obligation as a resident to share candid and honest unbiased opinions with the people on yelp. City Hall Cafe is one place I will never go back to again. I gave two stars because the food was actually pretty good, however, the woman behind the counter was a perfect example of what happens when an owner hires a wrong employee. I have rarely had to interact with an individual who was able to leave such bad taste in my mouth after eating good food. There is just something that spoils good things when the wait staff has such a rotten attitude! Every question that I asked was responded to with eye rolling, deep breathes, or other offensive body language. Excuse me for not wanting radishes on my salad, I don't like them. And yes, I am sorry because I can not have your house vinaigrette dressing, because it contains sugar. I'm sorry that I need regular vinegar and oil, an no, I don't mind pouring it myself into the plastic cups your gave me. Forgive me for asking if my four year old can use the rest room, and by the way, there were no napkins in the bag. I gained some insight as to the reasons for abusive service when I asked whether the woman who kept stomping her feet, tapping her fingers, and looking at the ceiling was having a bad day. She did explain that it was shift change time and she wanted to go home. I do get it. We all have bad days, but next time, please tell me before I place my order so I can leave and go somewhere else. There are plenty of great places to eat between Islamarada and Key Largo. Really, isn't it the whole experience that matters? Perhaps if I had waited another ten minutes before entering the restaurant, the counter girl that the other reviewer in Yelp raved about may have been working and my review would have been very different. Sometimes It's all about timing. However, no discounts or compensation was offered for the really bad and obnoxious service, and honestly, we all have bad days, but it's never appropriate to take them out on a family of three who simply stop in for a bite to eat. I would have preferred to have spoken with the owner, the truth is the food was really very good, as long as you didn't mind eating to go food without a napkin. My son wound up with cat sup all over his car seat and no way to clean up, and yes, the woman at the counter did assure me that everything I would need was in the bag. read more

I never thought I'd see it, but yesterday, I watched the owner threaten to kill a customer by putting his head under a truck tire on US 1. Apparently, this customer (the victim) was engaged in a political conversation with 2 other customers and it got a little heated. Instead of asking them to keep it down, or move it outside, this business owner decided to start with the death threat. The owner seems like a hot-head, as he lost his temper in seconds. The customer who was threatened didn't seem overly concerned (he was probably armed) and simply left. For anyone who follows crazy Florida news, people here have been shot for less than this store owner said. Regarding the food, this was my first trip into City Hall after several months. We stopped going because of repeated mistakes in our orders, especially to-go orders. We returned yesterday and I had the blackened crab cake tacos. They were awful. They were served on soggy flour tortillas, covered in shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes. Underneath the lettuce was a dab of a crab cake that was flavorless. My wife had a salad that was room temperature with blackened fish on top. She says her fish had a bitter taste and she couldn't finish it. The server was inattentive and seemed preoccupied with other things. We dared not complain. read more

The Key Lime pie here is AWFUL. Avoid it like the plague. The sign out front says the Key Lime pie is "Award Winning", well they must've gotten that award for having the worst Key Lime pie in the Keys. I originally trusted that the sign out front meant that the pie was excellent and so I bought a whole pie. Bad idea. It was sooo bland. There was no tart, no tang, and it was barely even sweet. Blahhhhhh! I ate one piece and threw the rest away. Why eat flavorless pie? This 1 star review is based solely on the Key Lime pie. I just didn't want anyone else to fall victim to their boastful sign out front. "Award Winning" signs can be incredibly misleading. Hopefully everything else they sell is excellent! But the Key Lime pie IS NOT. read more
