We started with the best coconut shrimp I think I've ever had. It's the famous pink shrimp of Florida & the coconut breading was divine ! light, delicate crispy, served with a tasty mango chutney, dipping sauce, just perfection. by the way, this went perfectly with a crisp, white wine and my husband's tropical drink. Next, we had to get an order of the delish oysters Rockefeller, smothered with creamy spinach, and tons of lemon juice. Wow those gulf oysters are wonderful ! So Tender. For our main, we got the Grouper Fish Sammie's with fries & coleslaw. I had mine blackened, and my husband went with classic. The fish was so fresh and seasoned perfectly. Don't miss this gem on your way down the keys.

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.

The service was quite slow when we got there, it took a bit to get seated even though we were the only ones waiting with numerous open tables. Once we got our table we had to ask multiple times for a kids menu and high chair, but our waitress eventually showed up and got both for us. The high chair was broken but we made it work for our little one. Our server was efficient and friendly, even though it took a bit for her to get to us. The food was good, not the best meal, but definitely good tiki bar food. I got the fish tacos which were good, and fries, they were the best part. We wanted to get dessert but there were so many flies it made us want to leave. To no fault of their own, it's unfortunate, and to be expected at an outdoor spot, but it was an overwhelming amount and we just didn't want to deal with it any longer. I think its a good spot to grab a drink on the water at the bar! Definitely brings a good vibe.

As a benefit of staying at an Aqua Lodge cabin, I was granted access to the Cabana Club. It was…read moreabout a 10 minute drive north from my unit. Arrived around 11:30 on a Thursday and was able to park in the lot out front. It was full by the time we left, which was around 2. Arriving early is a good idea because the tables and lounge chairs fill up. The good: The woman who checked us in was chipper and welcoming. Very thorough explanation (a bit tedious, though) of everything available to us. Beach access in the Keys is definitely a bonus. Not expansive stretch here, but beach is beach. Arrived in time to get 2 lounge chairs and enjoyed soaking up some sun. A dip in the heated pool was rejuvenating. Didn't order food, but the prices are very reasonable. The bad: Mold in the ice! Their ice machine has clearly been neglected. I got a margarita and 2 cups of ice for bottled water. All of it had mold present. Gross! Very foamy draft beer, which tells me the temp is probably not right. Definitely not what a draft beer should be. I've watched enough "Bar Rescue" to know these are some major issues. The drink situation was deplorable, but otherwise the surroundings were enjoyable.

Outside seating area offers great views, but we took an inside table and the vibe was still awesome. Live music was great. Our server Zach was on the mark; checked on us frequently and took care of any requests quickly, and a very friendly dude. We tried: Sparky's Sunset and Coconut Margarita - both very good. Tuna tartare - the sesame sauce wasn't my favorite, but the tuna was fresh and tender. Coconut Shrimp - HUGE shrimp, nice toasty coconut crust, and the sweet chili sauce was a great compliment. 1/2 lb Peel and Eat Shrimp - these were served with butter, cocktail sauce, lemon, and a little cup of add-it-if-you-want cajun seasoning. I tried them all and loved the options. Bacon-wrapped Scallops - these were fantastic!! Super crunchy bacon on the outside, perfectly cooked scallops on the inside. Buffalo Chicken Wings - these had really good flavor, but the skins were a bit tough. Sparky's will be our very first stop on our next stay in the Keys.

I always say mistakes happen -- what matters most is how a restaurant handles them…read more I ordered carryout from Driftwood in Marathon: chicken fingers from the grill, which are supposed to come with French fries. There's a separate appetizer version that doesn't include fries, and that's what I was given by mistake. When I called, the employee remembered my order and said she thought it was the appetizer. Then she said the simplest words many places forget: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience." She immediately offered options -- refund the fries or drop off a fresh order. I chose the fries. Within minutes, they delivered a full container of hot, delicious fries to my door -- even though I had chosen carryout. The driver apologized again and even included cookies. This is how you make it right for a customer. The food is really good, and the management is even better. Highly recommend giving this place a try.
