    Excellent customer care as I called to make a reservation, always amicable and when my group changed from 20 to 43 they took the necessary steps to sit all of us together and make our ride to the keys a success! The food is fresh and the portions are big... and the prices are great. everything that we order was delicious, made fresh and so flavorful. There is a feeling of being at home as the servers are so amicable and helpful. Thanks to Karina and everyone who made everything perfect... Totally recommend this amazing restaurant!

    Tostones with avocado and shrimp  very delicious

    This place was a great choice by accident. I was working in the keys and I needed to eat dinner before my long drive home. Very nice staff, the place was very clean, and food was very delicious, I do recommend to eat here and I noticed that is next to the marathon lady a fishing charter boat. That's even better. Well that's all got say. Thank you and God bless.

    This restaurant was so delicious, the restaurant staff were very nice! Welcome and atmosphere was great! I'm from Guatemala and really enjoyed having authentic food from my country in the Keys!

    Breakfast tacos

    This was a perfect place for Caribbean breakfast. We enjoyed breakfast tacos. Which were light and delicious. And of course my cafe con leche! Small place, but great to go with a small group. Indoor seating only. Service was great too. Would go back!

    The sitting area, and the cashier booth. The treats' rack.

    No flavor. I threw away most or fed to my dog. No flavor, no flavor, NO FLAVOR. I live on Marathon and will NOT do this again.

    We came here for a late dinner and to hopefully catch the sunset. We timed it fairly spot on. They…read moresaid it would be about a 20-25 minute wait but it actually took less than 15 minutes. We got seated inside just as the sun was starting to set. Sadly all the guests that had finished eating right before us decided to walk over to the dock outside the restaurant which just so happened to be the exact viewing location for the sunset so we didn't get any really good photos of it bc there were so many people over there videoing it and taking photos. It was still nice scenery while we waited for our food though. I ordered ceviche to start us off as our appetizer and it was really good. My dinner was a pasta dish with shrimp and scallops. The sauce was supposed to be a white cream sauce but it was really runny. Even adding extra Parmesan cheese to it didn't help thicken it. It tasted ok. Not my best pick. I had a choice of soup or salad with it. I chose their she crab soup and I'm glad I did. It was great. Almost reminded me of homemade chicken and dumplings soup just with crab. I really liked it. I should have stopped with that and the ceviche. My husband got a grouper fish sandwich. He thought it was good but the prices were a bit high for what it was. His fish sandwich was $29. Although good, not worth $29. My pasta definitely not worth the $31. May be a bit of a tourist trap but the food was decent.

    When my dad and I came here last year this place was great. A lot has changed. Our server was…read morehorrible, she only came to check on us once, and to give us the bill. we were seated around the bar around 1pm today. I ordered the calamari and ordered it plain without all the extras. It was so greasy and chewy. There was oil all over the plate. I sent it back. Mahi sandwich was good, but you get such a small amount of fish. It was very thin, and then I had to wait an extra five minutes after the food got there to get my side.

    Oh HEY! The best restaurant food down here. Looks small from outside. The people working are flying…read morearound busy. We all got fish sandwiches and a piece of German chocolate cake. Sandwich was killer!!! Cute how they stamp it with restaurant name. Fries were hot and tasty. Grabbed some fresh fish from the case to go. Beautiful selection of fresh fish. Some of the best. Oh don't forget the damn cookie. wooooowww! That thing was like no other cookie. Nice and plump, moist and we all wished we had a few more. Only like $2.50 each which was even more amazing! Go here! You will not regret.

    I recently visited Fishtails and unfortunately left quite disappointed. Given how busy the…read morerestaurant was, I had high expectations--but the experience did not match the crowd. I ordered the grouper, which is typically a highlight in the Florida Keys, but it lacked even basic seasoning and fell flat in flavor. The coleslaw was noticeably too sweet for my taste, and the potato salad included green peppers, which is an unusual choice and didn't complement the dish well. The service also left much to be desired. Our waitress was inattentive and provided very little information throughout the meal. Most concerning was that we left a significant portion of our food untouched, yet she never checked in or asked if anything was wrong--something I would expect at any restaurant, especially one as busy as this. Overall, while the atmosphere may draw a crowd, the food quality and service did not meet expectations. For comparison, I've had a far better grouper sandwich at Keys Fisheries Market & Marina, which makes this experience even more disappointing. I hope improvements can be made, as this location clearly has potential. Respond to owner, your response is your opinion, I have no reason to give bad information, if you watched your video as you stated you would have been able to see my friend and I dusguessing the food, also she never refilled our tea as frankly we didn't even drink it all. A good and attentive waitress could have mentioned that it came with coleslaw not to give two portions. It's whatever sir and if you want to get more technical, they grouper was fishy tasting and still had the dark vein line down the filet.
