Delicious seafood
K.W. B.

I was staying at the Caloosa Cove resort which is an easy walk to Habanos Oceanfront restaurant. I really enjoyed their fresh seafood and seafood pizza. Nice selection of Cuban dishes as well. I really liked the food from Habanos Oceanfront.

Cuban sandwich
Sam M.

The sandwich was good and had a solid crunch to it. The service was good nothing crazy and it was clean. Beware of the small bathrooms though.

Best Cuban food in the Keys, hands down! If you're over the endless seafood spots and craving something different, this place is a must. From the moment you arrive, the staff makes you feel welcome, and the ocean view while you eat is just the cherry on top. The food? Absolutely incredible. It's comforting, flavorful, and tastes freshly made with care. I was honestly speechless after the first few bites. They do have seafood too, and from what I saw, it looked just as amazing. Portions are generous, so expect to leave with leftovers, and the prices are super reasonable for what you get. Don't skip the cortadito at the end, it's the perfect finish to an unforgettable meal. I'll definitely be coming back!

Uruguay steak, onion rings, black beans and rice
Chad D.

I had never heard of Uruguay steak before so I decided to give it a try. I was so glad I did. My dinner was amazing. The whole group I was with loved their food. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend for some good eats and drinks.

Hog Fish dinner with a dab of mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables
Brian R.

Stoped here on a Tuesday evening. Noticed the 4 Florida State Trooper cars parked in the lot so we thought they must have good food. We were right. I had the hog fish dinner with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies. My wife had their Mai-Mahi sandwich with fries. Both our dinners were mainly average. The hog fish was sorta flavorful but dry. The dab of mashed potatoes were good and my wife's Mahi-Mahi sandwich was dry but did have good flavor. The restaurant was busy with all the tables full but a quick turnover. All in all we'd stop here again.

Another meal on the Florida keys, another Cuban restaurant to try out for lunch... Located on a marina in Islamorada with some ocean view, from the outside this restaurant is more upscale compared to the other Cuban joints we've tried, however the interior resembled a breakfast cafeteria at a typical 2 star hotel. Service was pretty slow and disorganized given only 2-3 tables were occupied while we were there. We ordered the Palomilla steak and the fried crack conch basket. I'm not a big fan of the briny flavor of the conch and the batter was pretty thick and not crunchy. While I enjoyed the mustardy sauce that came with the steak, the steak itself was pretty under-seasoned and bland. The after lunch cortadito was good, but I wish they had something better than the styrofoam cup. Another note: although the menu states they charge 18% gratuity for party of 6 or more, they automatically charged the 18% tip for our party of two anyways. If you are looking specifically for Cuban food, there are definitely other better spots.

This is the third Cuban spot that we've tried on our Keys trip. Located at a marina, this is the fanciest looking (not by much) of the spots and the least tasty in our opinion. Plenty of parking spots in their lot. Again, they automatically add a 18% tip on your bill (we had 2 people) so that's a bit obnoxious in my opinion. We found out on the check. The service was on the unfriendly and infrequent side so that's another minus. We got a fried conch basket and a skirt steak. The conch tasted frozen and the breading was soft and a bit terrible. I do better breading on my fried foods at home any day of the week. The steak was a bit under seasoned and bland. The dishes had above average quantity but below average quality compared to the hole in the wall Cuban spots on the other islands.

Menu

The restaurant was clean, open and welcoming. We were greeted right away and told we could seat ourselves. The tables were positioned around the windows so most had a view. We sat down and our server took our drink order. She was very friendly and attentive. She brought out our sodas and we ordered calamari, lobster bisque, a breaded beefsteak and a steak with onions. The food was delicious. The thin steaks were cooked very well and were tasty. DH ordered "Moro" as his side with yuca. Moro is rice and beans cooked together so the bean flavor is infused with the rice. I ordered "Tostones" - fried plantains and white rice with black beans. All of the food was awesome. I had to add salt to the steak but they were tender and juicy! They give you large portions and the prices are extremely reasonable! We took the food home that we couldn't eat and ordered 2 "flan" (custard) to eat at home! I wish we had come here at the beginning of our vacation! We'll be back before we leave though! There are several dishes that we'd like to try! Come in and enjoy your meal!!

Cuban sandwich
Mark W.

Always like to try new places. There is a bar as you walk in, and the restaurant is in the back. Our waitress was attentive and nice. Food was served 10 minutes after ordering. The sandwich was ok, good amount of cheese on it. The onion rings are beer battered and not greasy. The best part was the rice and black beans. Nice view of the marina and overall ok experience.

Skirt steak with rice & beans and tostones (fried green plantain) yummy!
Jennifer T.

Walking up to this place at 2110 it looked empty then I realized it has a bar area in the front and the restaurant seating area is in back and it was packed. Service from our waitress was ok. The other male server was great. When you see people of the same culture as the food that restaurant is serving in that restaurant, that's a good sign. When you see lots of them, that's a great sign. Like if you walk into a Chinese restaurant and see no Chinese people.. you might want to reconsider your choice. I had the skirted steak. It was absolutely delish. Well seasoned. Tender. Cooked to a perfect medium. Rice and beans were yum! Tostones was fried to a crisp golden. The sauce that came with it compliments it well. Highly recommend this. Entrees come with a choice of two sides. They have several to choose from. I loved the rice and beans. My son has the shredded pork. He didn't really care for it bc of the vinegar-citrus flavor it had, but I liked it. He loved the fries and onion rings that he ordered with it. Pepper steak was good too. That was ordered with rice and fried yuca. If I ever come travel this way again I will definitely put this place on my must go to place for eating. I have never had Cuban food before and it was a to do item on my list for this trip to Florida. Glad I came here for my first experience!

I got sooo many recommendations to go here, I had to with my wife for our 24th Wedding Anniversary…read more I'm giving this place 5 stars overall even though I had 1 major disappointment-the miserable young woman hostess who made us feel like we were bothering her by wanting to go into the restaurant. No smile, No congeniality, Little eye contact, Did Not listen and I had to repeat myself. The reception we received would have made us turn around and go somewhere else, if I hadn't had so many recommendations. OK, now the reasons why I have given them 5 stars. We were quoted a 45 minute wait (about 7:30pm on Tuesday night) but luckily some bar stools opened up AS SOON as we walked in and so we sat at the bar (they offered their full menu), and Fernando, who was EXTREMELY busy, greeted us with a smile and very pleasant demeanor. He prepared our drinks, which were delicious. Right next to him and working the 'Service Bar' was the Manager on Duty: Lauren. She was very pleasant and engaged with us whenever she had the opportunity. She even helped us with menu suggestions, unfortunately, we spoke about one of their nightly specials, the Shrimp Piccata with Gnocchi, but they were sold out when we tried to order it with Fern. So we had a great experience at the bar, and here's the food review; -Fried Whole Yellowtail. Delicious! Presented like a picture and cooked perfectly! Loved the sauce, Pico, Jasmine Rice & Fried tostones. -Citrus/Beet Salad with Whipped Goat Cheese, Quinoa, Nuts, Arugula tossed in a light vinaigrette. All I can say: "Empty Plate Club"...DELICIOUS!! -Now the BEST plate: PEI Mussels. THIS WAS THE BEST PREPARATION OF MUSSELS-I HAVE EVER HAD! The mussels were fresh but the sauce was a "Mic Drop"!!! I split the mussel shell in half, and scooped the mussel shell into the AMAZING sauce and ate it like I was slurping a fresh oyster! After the mussels were finished I ate the rest of the sauce WITH A FORK!!! The sauce was delicious, thick, with garlic and hot spice. I attacked the plate and forgot to take a picture...sorry! We ended our meal with a tasty piece of delicious Key Lime Pie. GREAT EXPERIENCE AND RECOMMEND AND WILL COME BACK!!! Lauren, great job, the place ran clean, efficient and professional!

The Paloma cocktail was excellent and so was the Calamari appetizer. I also ordered the featured fish taco and it was disappointing. The fish was excellent, however the soft taco shell was unable to hold up and I had to use a knife and fork. Other than the fish, it was so so. My husband had the burger which he has always loved here. The burger itself is still good, but the bun is not. I guess everyone is scaling back on quality but not prices. I

As we drove south through the Keys, I noted the bright teal and yellow facade of Islamorada Brewery…read moreand Distillery. I knew just where we needed to stop on the way back to our hotel. SPACE: Everything about the space just exudes the Keys life. In side there's a variety of seating including community tables for larger groups and both high top and low top seating. While we were seeking air conditioning and a reprieve from the August heat, Islamorada Brewery and Distillery offers up a huge patio space with misting fans and lawn games galore. Neat! SERVICE: I'll start by saying that Islamorada Brewery and Distillery is a counter service joint. So when you're ready for a pour you want to belly up to the bar. The beertenders were super friendly and approachable. They made great suggestions and tempted me with their gram worthy flight. SIPS: We both opted for pour of the coconut lime blonde ale - No Wake Zone. It was light, crushable, and wonderfully tropical. In addition we also sipped on their coconut scooter vodka. Whoa! That could be dangerous - it was so smooth. SUSTENANCE: Islamorada Brewery and Distillery offers a up a decent assortment of curbside eats from their in-house (or would it be on-site) food truck! Yum! While we didn't order any eats, it's nice to have something on site. Islamorada Brewery and Distillery was just what my craft brew loving heart needed. I'd highly recommend checking them out when in The Keys. Cheers, Islamorada! **PRO TIP: Don't forget to grab a little something from their large merch inventory to remind you of your brewventure in The Keys!

Gotta love the chance to enjoy some local cold craft brews and boozy mixed drinks. Great atmosphere and staff. Tasty food, flavored shots, a variety of beer types. Bright and laid back spot which represents the area its in. Got to sample the beers first and also had some flights. Terrific outside beer garden seating area which is very Florida Keys style and vibe. We had a wonderful time here. If passing through on way to Key West its worth stopping by.
