You come here for the food and view, not the service. I read a lot of reviews before coming here and the reviews were all correct. All staff seem annoyed and take forever to bring anything to you. If you are in a rush do not come here. There are better places with friendly staff and great food in Key West. read more

Had a great experience at the bar with friends, so we came back every day for a Lemon Drop Martini made by Bartender Zolle!.

fish and chips, bad full of oil, yes its fried, but so is other things, this was a grease ball, and yellow tail not good this way, should stick to cod, and the wine was as cold as a beer, terrible. o and i almost forgot, price wow very expensive. a grocery store wine and captain d's would have been better. read more

For hotel food this was pretty decent. I recommend the breakfast over other meals. The loaded hash browns were excellent. The lunch sandwiches are what you expect by the pool. The service wether at the bar, pool, or dining room was all excellent. Great views from the outside patio! read more

I am rating Four Marlins 4.5 stars, but rounding up becuase the only issue with the half-star is prices are very high ($30-$50 per entree, $15-$22 per appetizer), But, its a fancy resort in Key West, so its kind of expected. The food is fantastic. I've been here twice now, and loved my meal both times. They change the menu every 6 months, so my food choices last week was very different than what I got a half year ago. But still all delicious. They also make amazing martinis! My favorite dishes are the ahi tuna, and the snapper. The grouper was also amazing. The swordfish special I wasn't as much of a fan, it didn't taste as fresh probably because it's not a local fish. The short rib appetizer was to die for! But last time I went it was no longer on the menu... but look for something similar next time! The service is wonderful, and the views over the Atlantic Ocean is so pretty. Really perfect setting for a date night or a special occasion. I love it here! read more

Great establishment if you are after fine dining with a waterfront view. I'm told a sandy beach is a rarity in the keys and well you got one here. The food is great and the service is good. We were greeted and promptly seated and had no reasons to complain about our table service. I really was fond of the quality of the food. It felt like the chef really focuses on matching the mains proteins with vegetables and sauces that all seem to find a way to get along as you eat. He presentation was rest and we really enjoyed the key lime pie dessert. We will come back but all in all this is a place that "we can eat" read more

Aliona was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. She explained the menu clearly, checked on us at the right moments, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Her service truly elevated our dining experience. If you're lucky enough to have Aliona as your server, you're in great hands! read more

Four Marlins Oceanfront Dining - Mushroom risotto with blackened shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Key West, Florida

Fabulous ocean view while you dine. This restaurant serves as the main food spot for the Hilton Reach hotel. We come here for breakfast while staying at the Reach or the Waldorf Astoria Casa Marina, as you can use your resort credit in the restaurant. Since this is part of the hotel, you pay hotel prices for the food. Sit outside on the patio enjoying the sounds of the waves crashing. I order the coastal sunrise, which is 2 eggs, bacon or chicken sausage, hash browns and toast. Good overall meal. My wife enjoys the breakfast Turkey BLT. read more

Great ambiance with casual VIP vibes. Restaurant was super spacious. We just ordered a drink (the strawberry moginto) & our drink was yummy and I also loved the pier access and beach access from this spot. Hammocks & cabanas galore. Felt like a swanky backyard beach. Service was professional & friendly. read more

The best key lime pie I've ever had! (And I have had a few...) if you are going to Key West and need to try a local dish of Key lime pie, this is the number one place on your list ! It is made in the French style with Chantilly whipped cream, and it is less tart and sweet than usual. The consistency is almost like a cheesecake. It comes with a graham cracker crust, and it is absolutely delicious. It's a must. read more

We stayed at the hotel and this was also the pool menu, breakfast, and dinner. it is right on the beach and if you prefer the AC and sit inside it's really nice place and cutely themed to beachy. We kept coming back for the calamari. it was lightly breaded and had these amazing spicy pickles with it. We probably had it like 5 times on our trip. we also had a fried chicken Sammy which was a huge portion of chicken and amazing. then had some shrimp it was cleaned and great dipping sauce. The only downside we wish the menu changed daily or included more seafood options. other than that we loved this place. finally got the lunch menu instead of poolside and the blackened hogfish club sammy is amazing huge portion and worth that price a must have. read more

The food was good and the views of the ocean were beautiful! My only complaint is that it took 15 minutes for a waiter to come to us after we had been seated by the host. There were only 8 other tables filled in the whole restaurant. Once we got our waiter, he was fantastic and had great recommendations! The portion sizes were large. The key lime martini, key lime pie and calamari were amazing!! read more

O my god!! So bad!! I think this was top five worst meals I've ever had. The conch fritters were just OK. Kind of gummy inside. Didn't feel like there was any conch in It. The lobster mac & cheese was over truffled and had no seasoning. The fish and chips were gummy and fishy. Gross service is fine. View is great but the food is disgusting. I spent $240 for my family for the worst meal ever. read more

As good as the food was here, whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner, Ty behind the bar made our entire week that much better. Personable and funny. He made amazing cocktails while also making awesome suggestions for new food and drink ideas. Highly recommend Four Marlins and a rail spot w Ty and company! read more

My husband and I stopped by once we arrived from our flight while waiting on our room. Our server was so nice and offered plenty of recommendations for sightseeing on the island. Our food came out quickly and was quite delicious. The only downside was the amount of birds lurking nearby. One even swooped down on our table once we had food on our table read more

Loved the Happy Hour and ambience. Service was great! Appetizer was delicious and 1/2 off. Sangria was $5 glass.

After checking into the Reach Hilton we decided to book dinner here. Glad we did so we got a table outside looking over the beach. Fabiola our server was a breath of fresh air. She was sweet, attentive and helpful. We started with conch and crab fritters that were lovely. Followed by entrees of NY strip cooked very flavorful, the grouper that was amazing and the fish special of red snapper also amazing! We ended with the key lime pie and croissant bread pudding with raisins, caramel, and vanilla gelato.. awesome!' Everything was amazing! read more

They charged me an arm and a leg for fish & chips. And let me tell you - that fish must've been rotting in the sun for 3 days before they served it because it was fishyyyy. And $30 for a cheeseburger with NO toppings? No thanks, I'll go to 5 guys. 1 star because the view was kinda nice. read more

Well done, Hilton. read more

Stopped by to have dinner with my boyfriend, the view was incredible! Very nice and clean place, it is located in a hotel so you need to go through the lobby before seeing the restaurant. Everyone was ver nice and attentive. We ordered the lobster Mac and cheese and the conch fritters, they we delicious and tasted so fresh ! My favorite of it all was the key lime pie! I have to say it's the best key lime pie I've tried in the keys. Will definitely come here again ! read more

The food was not good at all. The lobster Mac and cheese was unseasoned and the Caesar salad was not good either. It was warm and had more croutons that lettuce. The service when we walked in was really bad as well. We walked in and were ignored then the lady walked away for 5 minutes. We could have been seated around 6-7 minutes earlier if we would have gotten helped. The tuna tartare was not cut correctly and was cubed tuna. It is supposed to be chopped finely and it seemed like it was more of a poke bowl without rice in a fried wonton. The restaurant was empty with around 3 tables that had people at them. We will not be coming back here anytime soon and it is not worth $240 for minimal food. read more

They forgot our food and didn't bother to even recognize the problem. I had to ask to check on our order and when it came out it was barely warm. Food was good. If you want to wait 45 min + for your breakfast, this is the spot for you. read more

The views were excellent and the service was phenomenal! I ordered the chefs special snapper and wow was it amazing. However, my boyfriends ordered the mushroom risotto and the flavor was nonexistent it tasted like plain grits. Luckily everything else from the drinks to the view was able to make up for his meal. read more

Great location. Amazing food and drinks. The seafood and shellfish were very fresh and you could tell that they paid attendance to the details (e.g. buttered and toasted bread roll for the lobster roll). I asked for a site of the cilantro aioli for my fries which they accommodated - YUMMY! read more

Again went off of a TikTok recommendation for dinner and am starting to think that the tiktoker has a bland palate, however food was delicious! First up Mac and lobster cheese needed a bit of salt but delicious. 2nd wife ordered the risotto and WOW! The dish was decadent, several levels of flavor as you continue to chew. 3rd, prime beef tenderloin delicious! The tenderloin was tender that you could brake it apart with a spoon! Lastly, the fish & chips, was delicious and the sweet potatoes fries was great! Desert and this is where I feel that I may upset some readers the "famous key lime pie", needs more lemon in my opinion, needs less condensed milk, not my favorite and I have had better. Nonetheless service was on point, food was hot, and ambiance was good as well! read more

Hotel restaurant where you pay for the view. Spendy and food and service was not even good. Do not recommend -- there has to be better places to see a sunset. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4 (patio) Cost to worth it rating: 1 (entrees $40-50 ) Opentableable: yes and can select outdoor Return worthiness: no Highlights: - Lovely view of the beach, water, and sunset from the patio - They had a kids menu Midlights: - Sunset is actually off to the side vs in front where most of the seats are facing - Indoor dining was deserted Lowlights: - Short ribs: not much flavor and more grits than anything. 2 stars - Fish: big cut of tasteless dry fish they made look fancy over mini zuchinis and different sauces. 2 stars - Overall service was abysmal. For being in a reputable large hotel chain and charging outrageous prices, I expected a lot more. - Check in: host staff seemed totally confused and took a while to try to figure out seating of the party ahead of us without a reservation then asked if we were indoors or outdoors when we selected that on our reservation. - Dinner service: not enough wait staff. Waited a long time to order then couldn't find anyone when we wanted wine with our meal. - Dessert snafu: after waiting yet again to order dessert, we selected a key lime pie. Over 5 minutes later, the waiter comes back and says they're out. While waiting for our bill, someone else comes up to us with a slice and we're confused and told her we thought they were out. She said no. Very disappointing experience for our first night and will not be returning. read more

My spouse and I were staying at the hotel "The Reach (a Hilton property)" where this restaurant is located. It was our first night and the hotel included a $36 a day credit when dining at the restaurant (sounds generous but doesn't go that far considering the prices on the menu). The atmosphere is nice, oceanfront and pool views. I ordered a caesar salad, and my husband had grilled fish in a coconut curry sauce. Overall the food was decent, but definitely hotel prices. My salad was drenched in parmesan shavings, which I didn't necessarily mind, but it was a bit unconventional. My biggest critique was the service, the waiter was a bit inattentive and seemed confused most of the time about what we were saying. English is not my husband's first language so I found his responses to my husband's accent a bit rude. I would probably have given the restaurant a "very good" rating if the service has been better. To summarize, it's a fine place to grab a bite to eat if you're staying in the hotel, if you're not staying in the hotel probably not worth the trek over just to eat here. read more

This is a beautiful spot on the beach!! Super relaxing and breezy. Our server whose name I can't remember, was so on point and extremely nice. I feel like she had an Australian accent. The food was all really good but honestly not what o was expecting. I was thinking it was going to be a bit more upscale than it was. For example, the Cuban "sliders" was just a regular Cuban cut into three. But I will for sure go back when I'm in the area for the location alone. read more

We came here today for lunch and Ashley was our server. The restaurant has a nice view and great atmosphere. It's clean and everything you'd expect from an upscale hotel - with exception of the customer service. We (5 adults and a 2-year old) were greeted by the hostess and who would eventually be our server, but no smiles. Just very straight-faced business. No big deal, we went along to our table outside. Great views and the restaurant was really pretty. We received our menus and gave our drink orders. Unfortunately our server dropped our whole tray of drinks and they had to be remade, causing a slight delay, but also not a huge deal...it happens When she came back with our new drinks, she almost dropped them again on the way to our table and said "Jesus Christ" - looking obviously frustrated. She then proceeded to take our food order and didn't seem to know a lot about the menu. My husband asked about what we thought was the lunch menu. The Hogfish Tacos showed as $18 so he asked to confirm if it was more than 1 taco (the main menu has another hogfish taco appetizer for $13). He said if it was just 1 taco he'd want to order something else. She came back a few min later and it turned out it was just 1 taco. She didn't have a menu in her hand so he could see what he wanted so she walked to go get it. We called her over about 5 or so min later asking again for the menu. Ashley's response was "oh she didn't bring it to you yet?" And she walked off. She later came back and my husband was able to order. The food took a little longer than expected but not a huge deal - the chicken on the chicken sandwiches was dry but edible. We asked for our checks and when received, we realized we ordered a lot of our food off the kid's menu! Ashley never even mentioned it was a kid's menu. She also must have either known we weren't happy or wanted us to spend more because she added on 18% gratuity! I understand gratuity for 6 adults, but not 5 and a toddler. So for the crappy service we received, Ashley received $28. On the way out I saw Leslie, the Manager. She was very nice and apologetic and even asked if we wanted the gratuity refunded. I told her it's ok and maybe Ashley was having a bad day. Unfortunately, with limited time in Key West, we won't be back to try again. Each visit needs to make a good impression. read more

We had reservations. We were finally seated and our waitress took our drink order. Thirty minutes later she came back and took our dinner order. Four of us got our food together but we waited for two more dinners to come out. she was not good on checking on our table. I ordered Beet Salad and Conch Chowder. One other at our table ordered that also. My salad had three small beets that were hard as rocks. The conch chowder had two dozen small round potatoes & hardly any chowder. Both orders were like this. Of the six of us, three of us were very dissatisfied. Worst meal i have ever had in Key West! Nice ambiance but will not be back. read more
