WOW is this place worth the hype!! We were staying in a sister-hotel down the road and stopped in here our first night in Key West and did it set the bar high. We made a reservation day of and were able to squeeze in late, but still snagged a table! Our waitress was so helpful with recommendations for appetizers and entrees for my *very* indecisive husband. The corn and lump crab fritters were to die for, in addition to the key lime pie being the best we had our entire visit to Key West (which is saying something!). It's a beautiful restaurant with ambient lighting, and enough space to have actual conversation without feeling overwhelmed by people. It's a great date night location and a definite must-stop!

Wonderful dining experience! The service was warm, friends and attentive. The diner was one of the best on the island. We had the roasted prawns, monkey bread and grouper. Absolutely outstanding! Highly

oysters and monkey bread

Edwin was our server and he really set the tone for our whole experience. Every recommendation from him we took and we were not disappointed!!!! Great food, AMAZING SERVICE. The chef and manager checked in with us too which was kind. I came here for my bday and Edwin personally made it a mission to buy candles for my surprise bday dessert!! So sweet and thoughtful. Can't wait to come back in the future!!

Elegant atmosphere with beautiful attention to detail. The service was also great. I visited for my birthday and enjoyed the the oysters as a starter. The oysters were perfection. The entrée special of the day was the short rib, which was wonderfully tender. The grilled lobster was also amazing, with great smokiness from the wood-burning oven, though it would have been easier to eat if it had been fully removed from the shell and presented on top of shell. My reason for giving four stars is the dessert. The cake was completely underwhelming, and the suggested ice cream pairing ended up costing $20. Most restaurants offer at least a complimentary scoop for birthdays, but not here. I wouldn't have minded the charge if the dessert had been memorable, but paying that much to be disappointed was a let down. Hopefully the dessert menu gets an upgrade in the future. I will return because as I mentioned the entrees and starters were amazing.

Great meal tonight at Kindler w the family. We were greeted so warmly, and welcomed by the delicious smell of the wood fire grill. Our server, Edwin, did a fantastic job guiding us through the menu. THe golden hour cocktail was A++. We ultimately decided on the monkey bread (10/10), tuna crudo (fresh and light on flavor), snapper, mahi mahi, gnocchi, potato pave. The best singing of happy birthday and maple cake to finish the night off. If you want a delicious meal, beautiful setting, attentive staff-- this is your place is Islamorada.

We were staying at Three Waters and decided to give this restaurant a try. Edwin was our server. He was very attentive, friendly, and great server! I was very happy with the cowboy steak. I shared with my son who loved it more than me. Everything was great. Love the cozy atmosphere. I love that there's plenty of space where we weren't next to anyone. Would definitely come back.

Had the most AMAZING birthday dinner last night thanks to the incredible service of Edwin and the manager Aizhan. My husband stopped in earlier in the day to chat with them and drop off flowers for me and they really went above and beyond the make my night special. Edwin's energy is infectious! The food was fantastic as well. I'm gluten free and there were so many options for me. Thank you Kindler team for a birthday I'll never forget!

Beautiful views right on the water. Sitting outside overlooking the ocean was awesome, but a bit…read morewindy. Our server was great, very friendly and informative. The fried fisherman's platter was okay but lacked flavor on many items (just tasted like fried batter) and there wasn't many shrimp (maybe four); it was mostly small clam and calamari pieces. The fried fish was pretty good. For us, this restaurant was all about the views and outdoor Keys vibe, but the food while not bad, could've been better. I've seen many people say Lazy Days has really good food, so I'll give them a pass and assume we just didn't get their best when we stopped last week for lunch.

Food and drinks are strangely combined and confusingly seasoned. We tried the Spicy Margarita and…read moreLazy Smash for drinks. The Spicy Margarita says it's made with jalapeño tequila, but the flavor was like they added muddled jalapeño peppers. Not super spicy just *really* strong jalapeño flavor; it was gross. The Lazy Smash had so much Key lime juice that the whole drink was just bitter. We didn't finish either drink. For entrees, we had the Steak Teriyaki and the special Lobster Lorenzo. Teriyaki sauce had some kind of Indian spice added - curry powder? turmeric? - whatever it was it tasted like a teriyaki/marsala. It was odd. The Lobster Lorenzo is a split lobster tail that is breaded and fried, topped with a giant crab cake and sauce. The crab cake and sauce were amazing, the lobster was tough and chewy. I can't really comment on the server, since we had three different guys between the drink orders, the food order, food delivery, and the check. Scenery is nice and the restaurant itself is well decorated and inviting next to the water. But the food and drinks are definitely not worth the price. There are lots of other great choices in the Keys.
