Marker 88 - Sunset from our table - Seafood Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

Terrible experience. We reserved online, paid in advance only to wait for our table. Finally got our table and waited well over 20 minutes to get water and our server. Food quality was mediocre and terribly overpriced. Will surely never dine here again and most definitely do not recommend. Views are beautiful but even the drinks weren't worth it, so don't fall for any of their false advertisement. Gave one star only because zero is unavailable. read more

The scenery here is exactly what you imagine for a beach spot. The hog fish sandwich was fantastic. Our server was super sweet. The key lime was at the top of my list!! Crust was the best! read more

Great tiki atmosphere with good parking. Loved the bench swing dining option. We split a fried and blackened fish sandwiches and they were YUM! Wish they had something like slaw on the menu, but the coconut shrimp was good. Due to the location of our table it made it harder for our server to keep an eye on us. She was awesome, but guessing she has amazing calves running in the sand from table to table! read more

Great food - we started with multiple appetizers, two wonderful wines then some had sides, others soups and one the Key Lime Pie. How do you beat the setting with the sun going down over the Florida Bay? With a table in the beach so you can kick off your flip flops and wriggle your toes in the sand. Great causal atmosphere and attentive service. Definitely a place we will want to enjoy again on our next visit to the Keys. read more

Flies everywhere! The service was not accommodating and the service was subpar. Food could not be eaten without swatting away the flies. Won't be back read more

Love it here, open space w good food and drinks and live music, kids friendly ! Cant wait to go back

We had a 6:45 reservation. Hostesses were great. The atmosphere awesome but that was all. The service was bad. Slow. The food was a great disappointment. The lobster bisque had very little lobster. The coconut shrimp overcooked. The calamari was over cooked. Most of it was the tentacles. Very, very disappointed. We left after the appetizers. We will not return. read more

The view and ambiance are amazing. That being said the food experience was not good. Our waitress was great and tried her best but... we ordered chicken tenders for the kids and they came out raw in the middle. Our waitress took them back and reordered them to cook. They came out raw again in the middle. We told our waitress to forget the tenders. She was great and took the tenders off our bill. We expected to at least see a manager but they were nowhere to be seen. Also we had ordered the kids food with our drinks before the adults order. Our food came before the kids and the kids food came out when we were done with ours. Again our waitress was great but I suspect it was a kitchen problem. I would return for drinks and the view but nothing else. Raw chicken especially served to kids, twice, is an automatic one star rating always for me. read more

Beer was hot! Waitress unapologetic! Quesadillas were awful- dripping with grease & full of pickles! Yuk! Leave the quesadillas to the Mexicans! Chairs are Adirondack style- great for the beach, but not for eating a meal at a table! Everything is extremely overpriced! Not enough fans & no more indoor dining! Very uncomfortable!! The only breath of fresh air was Matt, the manager, who tried as hard as he could to apologize. I loved meeting him, but after over 50 years of calling that my favorite restaurant, back when Bill Baxter was the chef, I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!! IT WAS TRULY AWFUL!!! read more

The location is over the top view but that is where it stops. The servers and wait staff walking around aimlessly, talking on their personal phones. Got wrong menus. Food was cold and poorly presented. Bacon burger with no bacon. Cold pasta. The manager was cordial but offered but offered little relief. read more

Crab cake was good. Onion crusted salmon(bland). Blackened tuna (a little salty) The scenery was beautiful, the salad was good. Pasta was good. I might return but only get the crab cake. My waiter wasn't very attentive. They do not bus the table. We were eating with a lot of dirty dishes on the plate. Hmmm need improvement! read more

Live in Fort Laud drive down to marker 88 for lunch. We asked the 2 hostesses for a table by the water away from the music. Said known available although my wife saw one that we were told it was reserved and in the future we can do the same and reserve for a fee. The picture I took was from where we agreed to sit since appears the best option available, the table right in view from us was available the entire time we were eating and even as a write this. We will consider other choices since it's apparent we were not treated as we should have been. read more

Don't be fooled by the view! Horrible customer service from the host to the manager. The cocktails were water and sugar. A total waste of money! read more

My favorite drink when I'm in town is the Hemingway. A well balanced cocktail of sweet, tart and strong. First time having the Key Lime Seafood dish. I was so happy I got it because it was so good. The sauce is delicious and rich but not heavy. Also, the shrimp were about the size of my palm. Lovely atmosphere with plenty of great views. read more

Marker 88 is a MUST for the beach dining and live music. Such a peaceful evening and the food was amazing. I would totally dine here again! Portions were abundant and price was fair! Kudos to Marker 88 for adapting to COVID and expanding beach dining! Amazing! Sunday night entertainer (11/1) was Amazing!! Make sure you go early enough to watch the sun set! read more

Sunsets are very nice, mostly an outdoor restaurant, the food lately is not good, maybe there is another chef, but the last 3 times was bad. Sad because the ocean view is nice and the sitting is next to the water. If is a rainy day not the place to go and the life music on weekends very nice with the view. My complements to the singer. read more

Marker 88 - A view to the ocean from our table - Seafood Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

I had been here before the remodel and wasn't impressed. after the remodel I figured I would give it another try. first, the parking lot is awful. no paved street, just a bunch of rocks which are so hard to walk on. second, the service takes forever. just to get water and drinks was like 25 min. the mosquitos were out of control. the menu is extremely limited, not a big selection once the sun sets, if you are sitting on the beach area, you can't see a thing. lighting is non existent so you can't see what you are eating though I saw lighting was horrible everywhere. def won't be going back again. many other good places to eat at in the area. read more

We left :( The food may be good, we'll never know. We arrived in the evening and were taken to a table on the beach, looks like all the tables are outdoors with string lights etc, very pretty where there is light. but our table was in the dark, like I'm not exaggerating, we could not see the menu, the tables, each other... there was zero light. We decided immediately to ask to be moved...The waitress came over and asked how we were and we said , "'not great, it's super dark." And she agreed and said "yeah I really can't see anything either. Go to the hostess and ask, we're super slow, I'm sure they can move you." We almost did... but a guy next to us was smoking, and we didn't feel we should have to walk across the beach to ask to not be in complete darkness. Service was meh, seating was over all ok but not two of the last tables, make sure to ask for a table with light. And if the restaurant is reading this, dear god light those end tables. And why? Just why? read more

Had a wonderful meal at this beautiful restaurant! Very scenic location on the gulf, comfortable, and the food was excellent Our server was good too! read more

Service in the keys can be slow but cold seafood is not expected. My grilled Hogfish was first served with the wrong sauce and when corrected was service cold. Cold fish, cold sauce, and cold vegetables. A poor offering from an established restaurant. I would not recommend Marker 88. read more

One of my absolute favorite spots in Islamorada! You do not want to miss this spot when you go there! We try to sit on the beach as the atmosphere and view is just breathtaking but I don't think there is a bad seat in there. The covered main dining area is great as well as the bar area. The food is super yummy and we go CRAZY for the tuna nachos. There is usually someone playing some fun (and not too loud) music in the background. You can't miss the sunsets here either - epic. Do not sleep on this spot! read more

Not sure why there's so many bad reviews because my family thought this place was great. Beautiful atmosphere and great food. Drinks and food tasted very fresh. read more

We had the best table according to several couples. Originally we were going to be seated nearer the inside section. I asked for the table on the beach & the hostess cleared it for us. We were right on the beach. Our meals were delicious. The waitress visited our table infrequently, which was fine with us. The music being played as at the right volume & perfect to set the beach ambiance. We had acute little bird visit us too. The sunset was breath taking. read more

Went by boat while on vacation, staying at the Plantation Marina. Nice to have had something we could take the little boat to. Food was very good, I had Tuna, honey had chicken caesar salad. View is perfect! Service not so much and our waiter did not have allot of tables. read more

Everything from start to finish was excellent! The ability to sit on the beach and eat was unbelievable. The service, menu selection and taste of the food were all excellent! The ambience was top notch! read more

My wife and I came here for a romantic dinner but it was anything but. We were seated right in the sun with many shaded table options around us as it was just before dinner rush. The food was good but with the sun in our face we could not enjoy the meal at all. I just can't believe our waitress or any other staff member hadn't offered to move us when I looked like I had just came out of the shower I was sweating so bad. We ate fast so we could leave quicky and paid an arm and a leg for the most miserable experience I have ever had. read more

I have been visiting this restaurant for more than 40 years. I have watched it go through several transformations - each one better than the next however, I just went to dinner there tonight, and I was so disappointed. The service was not good, we ordered fish tenders for my son and he received chicken tenders. I asked for a couple extra chips for my snapper ceviche and was charged three dollars for chips that I was told they brought out the wrong chips but charged me anyway. The boat dockage is subpar, even though it's brand new. The prices were extremely high for subpar food. Definitely will not go back there so disappointing was always one of my favorite places to visit in the Keys. read more

Service super slow and they put us at a table in the hot sun and when I asked to move somewhere with some shade, she said all tables were taken even though more than half were empty. Never even asked if I wanted a drink and it was difficult getting water refills. When the food came, it was delivered with a whole swarm of flies that we could not keep off the food! The fish was over cooked and flavorless. Lesson learned. Won't be back. read more

We really enjoyed Micah's sweet guitar music while watching the most beautiful sunset. The food was delicious. Just know this: if you want a table on the beach (which I recommend), when you reserve a table and check "outside seating" you ALSO have to type in the special request box and say: Table on the Beach. read more

The view/vibe was amazing! The restaurant is beautiful. Service was bad. What looked like the manager was extremely stressed and kept coming up to our server while she was at our table. The food was decent but pretty expensive. Daiquiri was very sugary. The guacamole had mint in it and we weren't a fan. read more

Great view! Pretty bad food though - this is to be expected. A great view usually means its going to be bad food, right? Clueless host, very nice chill waiter. Actually the crab cake was ok. I don't want to be a debbie downer lol read more
