We'll definitely be back!

If you're…read morealready at the point of HANGRY.. then this place might not be it, only because there is a wait, unless you're fortunate enough to find counter space upon arrival. Place is located in a small plaza and has ample space to fit groups of 6 or more. The ambiance has a great local beach feel, cool decorations and pictures. The food was great. Tried the kitchen sink quesadilla and it was 4 huge pieces stuffed with egg, has browns. Sausage, green peppers, mushroom, onion. Definitely very willing and adding their local hot sauce made it an even better treat. Loved how it stayed warm while eating since it was all wrapped. The MM84 breakfast was as simple as can be and a winner , eggs and bacon, has brown and toast. Overall cool spot, would like to come back to try their lobster roll or lobster breakfast.

I LOVED the Butterfly Risotto. The Filet Mignon was delish, and you can get it with lime cilantro butter or blue cheese crumbles or sautéed onions. Their key lime cheesecake is the best in the area--and it's gluten free! They also have an amazing flourless chocolate cake. They have plenty of gluten free options, and it is marked clearly on the menu. My only criticism is that the kids macaroni + cheese was made with fake cheese sauce sometimes (but once it was real). At a nice place with these prices, I expect real cheese ALL the time. I highly recommend Butterfly Cafe whether or not you stay at the resort. :)

Best part is we went on our second night in Marathon and we are already planning to return again before we leave. Great spot!

We were able to get seated right away for a party of 6 at peak dinner time…read more Our server was a fun guy. Very care free. Loved that he called us teams instead of couples. I ordered the seafood gumbo and bacon wrapped scallops. My husband had the two lobster tails sparky's style. (Market price was $46) He enjoyed the lobster tails. The gumbo was good especially with the crusty bread that came with it. The scallops had perfect crunchy bacon on it and the sauce that was over the rice with them was delicious. My friends all enjoyed their food as well. I also tried the coconut tree leches cake which wasn't as good as I had hoped. It wasnThe only issue we would say we had was with the flies that swarmed our table as soon as the food was carried out. It was crazy. Our server did a great job trying to help us with the flies. He even sprayed near our table. We were seated outside towards the back by the parking lot but still had some water views.

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.

Food was pretty good, I guess but I probably would like it better if the service wasn't so…read moreterrible. My entire breakfast was cold by the time I got anyone to help us. I got the Waffle Pig, and when the food was delivered asked for a spare plate to put the waffle on (since they just place the waffle and eggs and sausage and bacon in a big pile on one single plate). The plate never came. It took asking 3 different people 4 separate times to get that extra plate. It seems like a problem with the definition of responsibilities? I think each time the person I asked just told someone else I needed a plate and no one ever actually got me a plate. We were visited by at least 5 different people during our meal - they had plenty of people working and it was not super busy yet, so it just seems like a break down of communication. They only accept cash, we needed to use their ATM to get cash - and the ATM fee was higher than if they just accepted cards and charged us the transaction fee on a credit card payment. Overall - decent food, terrible service, nothing that would encourage me to stop again though.

I had mentioned ahead of time that we were celebrating, and from the moment we arrived, the staff greeted her with a warm "Happy Birthday" at the door. It was such a thoughtful touch that immediately set the tone for the evening. The service throughout the meal was attentive, friendly, and welcoming. To top it all off, they surprised my mom with a complimentary slice of key lime pie complete with a candle. It was a wonderful gesture that made her birthday even more memorable. The food was very good, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful, and you could tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. The monkey bread is a must try! If you're in Islamorada and looking for a restaurant for a special occasion, I would definitely recommend Kindler. Between the delicious food, exceptional hospitality, and the genuine care the staff showed in making my mother's birthday feel special, it was a memorable dining experience. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the Florida Keys.
