This was one of my favorite dinners while visiting Key West. We made a reservation and were seated right away. The staff were friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp and grits. The shrimp was gigantic and super soft. It was served on a bed of grits and gave with asparagus. The dish was so good. I'd order it again. For dessert, we got the famous key lime pie. It was the perfect amount of tart and tangy. I really loved it. It lived up to the hype of being the best key lime pie on the island! read more

A wonderful experience with Jessica as our server tonight. The swordfish was fantastic and the chef was able to adjust the snapper dish for my husband who has cancer. Today happens to be our anniversary, they provided us a sampler for dessert that was just amazing. Jessica was very responsive to our needs, our glasses were refilled many, many times over with fresh ice to best the crazy summer heat. Thank you Four Marlins for making today such a special and amazing experience for us! read more

Went on a Tuesday around 6:30pm~ not busy at all! Ultimately came for the key lime pie and so glad we did!!! My friend and I both thought key lime pie would taste better with whipped cream and so happy to have found one without meringue - worth the walk across the island lol!' The key lime is definitley on the more subtle side vs pucker lip type tang! Key lime martini - loved the graham crust rim, strong on the vodka but was good and creamy Also ordered the mushroom ravioli and was decent , wouldn't say it was the best I ever had~ The outdoor dining area was a perfect atmosphere for a sunset! Beautiful view ! read more

The BEST chicken and waffles I've ever had!!! Went 3x for breakfast, just for these (Continental Breakfast was also very tasty). The chicken was lightly battered and a little spicy ("Nashville fried chicken"), and the (2) waffles were fluffy with brown sugar butter and maple syrup. All of the flavors blended together so nicely, each bite bursting with flavor. 10/10 dish. We also tried some items of the HH menu, such as the truffle fries and the smash burger, and enjoyed those as well. The star of the show was the breakfast though. In addition to the great food, the restaurant is right on the water, beautiful view of the ocean. Many days there is live music, and we had great customer service most mornings. One exception- our last morning our food took 3x as long, and was cold when it arrived; seemed to be ready much earlier, but service decided to deliver it the same time as 2 other tables, that sat wayyyyy after us. They are also dog-friendly and cater to your furry friends (they may even get to see Reggie the rooster walking around the restaurant). Can't wait to visit Key West again just for the Nashville chicken and waffles!! read more

First time at 4 Marlins and it was very nice, open table reservation was perfect. The views were absolutely amazeballs. Our server Lisa was providing top notch service..Thank You Lisa! Started with mimosa's and poinsettias, YUM. I had the salmon eggs Benedict with hash browns and oh my, what a delight. My wife had the fish tacos and there was 3 nice size tacos(mahi). read more

I came here because of Instagram post about the delicious key lime pie. It opens at 7 AM so it is perfect to have coffee and breakfast while enjoying the sunrise because it's right by the water with a nice pier to view the ocean. It's also only a block away from the Southern Most Point landmark. Beautiful and classy interior. Staff is a very friendly and helpful. The key lime pie looks like a cheesecake. It's big so it's definitely shareable. I love it. It's creamy and not overly sweet. I definitely come back here. read more

Ok, so let's start with location, location, location! This place is right in the beach at the Reach Resort near Duval Street in Key West. So beautiful spot for just about any occasion. Wait staff is friendly and attentive. I'm going to come clean and tell you that I've only eaten one thing in the menu, but loved it so much that came back a couple of days later to have it again. The panko crusted fish sandwich was outstanding! I know, just a sandwich, but the fish was significant size and perfectly cooked arugula and kimchi aioli which was incredibly tasty. Sorry for the lack of pictures, but will make sure to add when I go back for more. Cheers! read more

Terrible! I knew going to a hotel restaurant was a gamble since most of them do the bare minimum but I just had to write this review to let others know. Ordered the shrimp and grits and it was just a soupy, tasteless mess. I'm not one to send back things but I just had to. Then proceeded to order the lobster Mac and cheese and again, just tasteless. I tried my friend's short ribs and that was decent. Forgot to mention that we had the Lobster Tostada app and again, terrible. Save your money and go to Louie's Backyard (next door). read more

2.5/5, +.5 for service Ehh. Perhaps I'm missing something here, or I should've toned down my expectations to fit a small town restaurant feel. Dined here with my family while vacationing down at the Florida Keys, as I was told this would be an excellent place for seafood. It wasn't too busy around 8pm as people were finishing up dining here. We shared some appetizers and had one entree. We had the octopus, conch fritters, scallops, lobster mac n cheese, and the filet mignon. The lobster mac n cheese was good. The octopus was fine as were the scallops. The conch fritters were mediocre, not a lot of conch and a lot of fritters. The filet mignon, I had to say, was very poor. The beef quality was not the greatest, and I asked for medium, but it was cooked to around medium well to well done. For $65 that was a huge nope in my books. Service was excellent, and honestly if it weren't for 3 of the 5 dishes meeting expectations this would be a 2-star review. Consider this as a weak 3-star review where I can't see myself returning leisurely. read more

Had the Key-lime pie slice and frozen drink, the bill was $50, the pie was good but not worth the $15 price tag and the drink was definitely not worth $22, the place is a bit overpriced. The view is beautiful, maybe that's what you are paying for. read more

Service was great. The patio was airy and spacious. Our meals were outstanding. Highly recommend if your visiting

Nice resort locale, that isn't packed, steps away from the crowded Southern Most point Marker in Key West. Just Stroll a block over and walk through the hotel lobby to a great restaurant, just about any time of the day. We stopped for brunch on a Sunday and I recommend Eggs Benedict and the Lobster Mac. The whole menu looked great too. The view was amazing and I cannot emphasize that this was not a crowded spot on a spring break weekend, which is really refreshing. read more

Four Marlins Oceanfront Dining - The food and View - Seafood Near Me - Key West, Florida

Mixed bag on this one. Bar: Both cocktails were super weak for $17 plus tax and tip. And they serve them in a Dixie cup, so there are three sips before you're left with a pile of ice. A complete rip off. And the bar tenders favorite line that we heard over and over was "my least favorite drink to make is a Pina colada" as hotel guest after guest ordered these by the batches and she made a tip on each. Also took longer to get service than it took to drink it. 0/5, negative if I could. Breakfast: A bit pricey with most mains costing around $23 for eggs and toast. But boy were they good and filling. Also tried the oatmeal, which was average. The breakfast burrito looked amazing so the table got several to-go orders of that one. Service was much better for breakfast and friendly. The views are very nice of the Atlantic Ocean. This is a good option for breakfast if you are staying at the Reach, but wouldn't recommend coming here otherwise. They also offer lunch and dinner, but after the cocktail experience we skipped the place until our final "checkout" meal. read more

Food was just ok, along with being very pricey. We were on the last leg of our 10 day Belize diving vacation. I would definitely go back to Lorelei's Restaurant & Cabana Bar.

Came here with some friends who were staying in the area on a Sunday afternoon. The place is beautifully decorated but other than that, doesn't offer much. Service was slow with not many patrons in the restaurant. I think overall our brunch took close to three hours by how slow everything came out & how long it took to get the check & pay. Three guys in our party ordered beer bottles, one ordered a beer on tap. Tell me why it took about 30 minutes to get the beer BOTTLES. And then when the server came with the beers he unscrewed them at the table. The beer that was on tap came shortly after those, finally. To eat I ordered a Greek salad and added chicken. The salad arrived and it was upsetting to see the lettuce was not fresh. It had that pink/brown staining on them. The dressing was not good either. Chicken was fine so I ate that mostly. To share we got a slice of key lime pie since it was featured in an article recently stating it was great. Tell me why we all tried it and agreed it tasted nothing like a key lime pie. It wasn't tart at ALL. It basically tasted like a cheesecake. And the strawberry sauce at the bottom was so so sweet as well. Extremely overwhelming, extremely disappointing!!! Beautiful presentation but I would not call this a key lime pie. Our server was MIA most of the time but he finally came around to give us the check. Overall, I would not recommend this place. Between the bad service and even worse food, there's plenty of other local businesses that deserve a chance. read more

As always, I checked out Yelp reviews and once again they did not disappoint. We were looking somewhere close by our hotel and after driving all day turns out this gem of a seafood place was just 3 blocks away. We walked in on a Monday evening with no wait and a Fantastic view of the water. Daniel our waiter was EXTREMELY nice and answered all of our questions. I had the special which was a Mahi and others in my party had the shrimp, the grouper and even a fillet. All was excellent. Since it was our first night in Key West, Daniel treated us to a piece of Key Lime pie. We would have ordered it but our main meals were just so filling. Daniel wanted to ensure a wonderful Key West welcome and that we had. Thank you Daniel and thank you Four Marlins. read more

Very high quality with great ocean view. It's a can't miss choice. Service is great too.

Went here for brunch with a large group of friends for a friends birthday brunch. It was so incredible. I can not say enough about how great this experience was. First of all, they were so accommodating for a large party. We were seated immediately and all of us wanted unlimited mimosas, which were exactly how mimosas should be served!!! You get the bottle of Prosecco and they gave us three tiny bottles with juice to basically just splash in flavor (because who wants to drown their mimosa in orange juice?). Everyone we were with absolutely loved their food. It arrived fast and was warm. I had the lobster quesadilla which was so tasty! A friend had the smoked salmon tater tots which I would love to try next time I'm in key west. Our server Mike was the absolute BEST. He did everything to accommodate the birthday boy and was so on top of things. I can't wait to return to Four Marlins again! read more

We came for dinner and it was dark so I can't speak to the view, but the food and service are mid, at best. The food is way overpriced for bland flavors. We ordered the smoked fish dip, fish and chips, salmon, and ribeye. Wish we would've gone to a more local place. Key lime pie was very good. Maybe just come for a drink and slice of pie. read more

Breakfast here is great and the view is amazing. From a taste standpoint the food is good and I really liked that they gave you rock candy to stir my latte - that was a unique and fun touch. However my husbands breakfast came out 10 minutes before mine because they simply forgot to make mine - if our waiter hadn't checked a few minutes after it came out we'd have been waiting longer. Mistakes happen but nothing was done aside from saying "it is what it is". read more

Four Marlins is dog friendly, so we made a reservation to have one of our dinners here while we were vacationing in Key West. The restaurant advertises oceanfront dining, but where we sat, faced the courtyard. Oceanfront would have been nice, but the courtyard was lovely, too. As for everything else... The food was very average. It felt like the restaurant was trying to elevate their dishes, but they just weren't very good. And the portions were small. Thankfully, we weren't feeling particularly hungry after a big lunch. The service wasn't great either. Our server was very nice, but he only appeared to take our orders and then appeared again when our food was served. We didn't see him for a long time after that, which made flagging him down very difficult. It was not like there were many diners in the restaurant, which was strange why he didn't check on us more frequently. The only good thing we ate at Four Marlins was the key lime pie. read more

Four Marlins in Key West combines stunning ocean views with some impressive dishes. The standout is their pork chop - perfectly sweet and crispy, served with pickled slaws and flavorful sauces. The scallop appetizer with creamy ube mashed potatoes offers an innovative twist. Fish dishes are solid, with the miso grouper outshining the wahoo special. Their key lime pie is a must-try, beautifully presented with whipped cream, strawberries, and coulis. Gave the pie a strawberry and cream twist! While the service maintains a friendly demeanor, it can be a bit inconsistent. Worth visiting for the views and that pork chop! I would skip the lobster Mac and cheese if I had a do-over! P.S. the caipirinha was spot on! read more

A solid spot for dinner that isn't overly formal or expensive for what you get. Here's what we had. Easy to get a seat but it looks like you should get a reservation to be sure you can get a spot outside: + Oysters (1/2 dozen): Not sure how legit this was with how they didn't have any small spoons and forks to properly eat these and it came with the crackers that normally are more like served with clam chowder. Questionable experience aside, the oysters were pretty good overall although a bit grainy. This is where I took off a star. + Shrimp grits: This was a great dish with well sized pink shrimp that's a specialty of Key West and the grits were well flavored. + 12oz NY Steak Strip: The fried onions were really good and paired nicely with the beef. I also liked the sweetness of the potato and texture of it. Asparagus was also done nicely. read more

This was honestly the worst meal I had in Key West and that includes Popeyes Chicken. The waitress seemed disinterested in doing her job and rarely checked in. The cocktails were solid and the highlight of the meal. The conch fritters were ok at best. The waitress didn't bring plates so we ate over the one bowl. There were many chewy pieces in the fritters that took away from it. My husband got the lobster Mac and cheese, and it was honestly disgusting. The lobster came in big chunks with tendons attached. You couldn't eat it. He picked around it. I got the fish and chips. The fish was fine- a typical beer batter. The fries were bland, and we hadn't been given salt or pepper for the table. It took a lot to even get water brought to the table, so no hope for getting anything else beyond that. Definitely not worth $48. Overall, this was beyond underwhelming and not worth the time or money. read more

Had Cut of the day: 12oz NY Met expectations Lobster mac & cheese. exceeded expectations. Had a great dinner at the 4 Marlins. Exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was great; outdoors, great lighting. Steak was cooked perfectly, but I didn't care for the wine reduction sauce could've had a little more crust on it. Probably a little over priced to; $72 for 12oz. But its a beach front restaurant in Key West.... (real estate is expensive) While, not visually appealing that lobster mac & cheese was excellent. (Broil it to give some color). I don't like mac & cheese but this was phenomenal. The amount of truffle oil ; Big chunks of lobster in there which I guess justified the high price. Large portion; couldn't stop eating. Would definitely recommend. Service met expectations. One negative star for price. read more

We had an amazing anniversary dinner at Four Marlins! I was looking for a beachfront view, and this restaurant has it! The food we tried: Conch and crab fritters--very tasty! Just a bit chewy. Assorted olives--this was a HUGE portion! They were marinated in this lemon and herb oil which was so good. Grouper--so good! The perfect seafood entree. The cocktails were really good and our server was great! I want to say his name was Adam, but I could be wrong. Definitely recommend this place! read more

We were staying at nearby sister property, Casa Marina, and came here for dinner as Casa is undergoing renovations and their only open restaurant had too few options. Ambiance is perfection. Beautiful coastal chic decor, light music at an appropriate volume so you can converse softly amd still listen to each other. Stunning oceanviews from all over the outdoor deck. Service was very cordial -- and could be categorized as excellent if it wouldn't have been so slow. I'm afraid they may be short staffed. So come here in super island speed and you won't leave disappointed. We were happy we were able to charge our entire bill to our room at Casa Marina. But boyyyy, was it a lot. Very, very pricy. FOOD: While my husband believes the dinner was still worth it, specially as his NY strip was cooked to perfection (and his potatoes were super delish and beautifully roasted), I feel my seafood pasta had too little seafood (4 jumbo shrimps, but barely any other fish bites) and not bold enough for being a spicy dish. It was still lovely, but at $52, I wouldn't order it again. The conch and lobster fritters were very delicious, but I feel they were also lacking in seafood for the price. While I'm still glad we came, I'd probably chose a different restaurant on our next trip to Key West. read more

Good -location, absolutely stunning views outside -decor and ambience, it really is a beautiful restaurant - the cocktails! I had the mango rum drink and it was PHENOMENAL, it was $17 but the mango puree in it was so good, such balanced flavors -my waitress was kind and personable The OK -the key lime pie, ok so it was good but so rich with the whipped cream topping, share it with two or three people or take half to go, but it was good. Not so good -the price, I fully understand this is a high end restaurant, but for me no chicken dish should cost more than $36 at the nicest restaurant. I knew that going in though. I just do not think the value was worth it. -the entree, I got the Huli huli chicken. Hawaiian food is my absolute favorite, I was so sad when the chicken was so dry I couldn't finish it. It lacked salt, and not to mention that slow cooked marinated island flavor Hawaiian food is known for, so so disappointing. It came with Mac salad that needed salt as well, and a cold side of grilled pineapple. I wanted this to be phenomenal but sadly it was just not executed properly. I likely would only recommend this place if someone just wanted to get cocktails and dessert with a fabulous view. read more

SWEET KEY LIME PIE Nothing better than key lime pie for breakfast. The place was not busy so we got a nice view against the beach. I would go back again just for the view. Everyone working was friendly. It took a surprisingly long time for our piece of pie to come out. The pie was good but too sweet. All we really tasted was sweetened condensed milk. Add some more lime to it and it would be the best pie in Key West. Overall, if anything, just come here to enjoy the view. I will be in the future to try more. read more

Blown Away. I rarely give 5 stars out but this place es muy perfecto! The moment we met with the hostess and asked for a table with the best view and she looked at us and said "I Got You", it was on! The View, first and foremost, is spectacular. If you are looking for the best Oceanside dining, this is it. You got the beach and a pier as your backdrop and it's the picture perfect spot. Get your cameras and your selfie faces ready cuz you are in for a treat! The Food was amazing! The moment I had a spoonful of their lobster Mac and cheese I was in heaven. If you can literally imagine the perfect blend of lobster and Mac and cheese, this restaurant got that figured out! I think I actually closed my eyes while I had that first bite lol. Next up was the calamari. I've had tons of calamari in my days but once again, whatever blend in sauces and spices that they used on this...delicious! And for our main course, hubby and I shared the yellow snapper fish and chips. It was already de-boned for us which made it super easy to eat. Deliciously fried goodness!!! Seemed like that sucker was caught that same day! The main course came with a side of truffle fries - the perfect pairing. And of course for dessert we had a slice of key lime pie. From the crumbly crust to the key lime custard - perfection. The service - flawless. Ashley if you're reading this or if your manager is reading this, you were great! Thank you for making us feel at home in such a lovely establishment. Your food recommendations were on point! And hope you get Christmas off this year because you deserve it!

In the past year, they hired a new chef/kitchen team. The food quality today from a year ago is noticeable. Some basic culinary knowledge is missed but overall, much better than in years past. Their service is average, at times however; Bobby, behind the bar always makes this a first class experience. I'd probably only give a 3-4 star review however between Bobby & the VIEW, it hits the spot. read more
