It is so great to see Rim Bay open again after hurricane Milton. This was their first day after the storm! Great to see friendly faces, Campi, Michele, Brendon. Good crowd with everyone happy to see them, Open. The community certainly needed it.

Flash Seared Tuna
Dan M.

This was located on a private resort only accessible by boat, ferry, or water taxi. It was a decent sized spot with a gift shop attached and a small bar present as well with a few televisions. The service was friendly as the food came out in a timely manner. 5 appetizers were ordered and my thoughts on each are below. Coconut Shrimp ($11.75) - This came with 6 shrimps present and a sweet Thai chili sauce. These were excellent. I am usually not a big fan of coconut flavored foods, but these were an exception. They had a perfect amount of batter and just enough coconut flavor where it was not too strong of a flavor. The sauce helped too. Key West Conch Fritters ($11) - There were 6 fritters present and they came with a mustard sauce. The fritters were a tad dry, but the mustard sauce helped with that. The filling was just okay. Island Wings ($15) - There were 10 wings and the 24k sauce was ordered. It consisted of a BBQ and honey mustard sauce combined. I never saw something like this before, so I had to give it a try. It was very good. The sweetness from the honey mustard combined with the smokiness of the BBQ sauce made for an interesting sauce. I wish there was even more sauce present!! Flash Seared Tuna ($12.25) - This came with a wakame salad and a dipping soy sauce. The tuna was seared ideally while the salad was light. The sauce helped enhance the overall tuna flavor as well. Thai Egg Rolls ($9.75) - This also had 6 pieces along with the sweet Thai chili sauce. The egg rolls were very crispy and had plenty of filling present. Will I go back? I would.

Tropical splash

The restaurant on the island. Lots of good choices for some tropical food. Started with a couple of rum drinks. Loaded with great rum. Got the egg rolls to start. Pretty tasty and cooked pretty good. Would later decide these were the best things we would have. I got their duck. It was ok. It was a little overdone and dry but when mixed with their swamp sauce it was pretty good. Really liked the flavors on the steamed broccoli and the rice was cooked Goo Deb had the ribs and shrimp combo. Ribs here too were overdone and dry. A little chewy. Fries were....meh at best Over all ok. I think we would come here for apps and drinks. Some say the pizza is good so we'll try that next time Shoutout to Edward our server. He was friendly and tried to steer us in the write direction for food choices. Also the bartender was making great drinks too!

Atmosphere, true FloridaVibes, drinks, & appetizers made this a Delicious Stop after an afternoon of Boating on the water the perfect place to Chill!! Highly recommend for a unique hideaway and if you want to feel like you're on "uncharted territories" !

Mahi Tacos - Good
S S.

A fantastic place to eat..........in times past. Went there on 3/28/23 expecting the great quality food we USED to get and was very disappointed. The grouper sandwich was a very small piece of fish for $26. It tasted good but was very small for the price. The accompanying fries were very good. We ordered calamari and got a Mrs. Pauls fish stick like stuff. Not even sure it was squid. It looked more like deflated french fries or dehydrated apple slices. Tasted fishy and chewy. I would not even offer these on the menu to my guests if this is the only thing I could get. Now, in contrast, I saw some nice plates coming out with Fish and Chips, burgers, and Mahi tacos. I told our server, Pheonix, that the calamari was not good so I hope that she passed that along to the manager. I've had good ribs in the past so IF we go back, I'll just get the burger or ribs.

These are dead bugs and dirt all over the walls, ceiling and doors where the waitresses come in and out of with food and drinks.

I've been out for lunch 3x now all times the food was very average and disappointing. The bright spot was our waitress, Carey.

Chesapeake House - Garlic shrimp appetizer

Our first time at the Chesapeake house, they opened this past January, so we have been wanting to…read moretry it out. Service was very friendly, sat outside, basically on the parking lot! The garlic shrimp appetizer was very good, I had the baked fish with garlic butter sauce, very good. Things were a bit slow, but that's ok on a hot Florida day!

Sadly, our experience at this restaurant was not good. They are grossly understaffed, and the only…read morebartender in the adjacent room was tasked with waiting on our table. Initially we were excited to find my husband's favorite wine, KJ Merlot, at this place, but it took a long time to get it to the table as our server had higher priorities. Hubby ordered fried fish and when it was served by a food runner, the outside breading was ridiculously dark. Hubby said the fish was overcooked, but okay; however, the french fries were undercooked. I ordered the chicken breast topped with crab dip. I got a small taste from my fork and the flavor was good. Unfortunately, I had to saw with my knife to try and get through the chicken. It was rubbery as if cooked in a microwave and was not edible. I sent it back to the kitchen. I was not interested in trying anything else at this point and just waited for hubby to finish eating. Wish I remembered to snap a picture. I don't recommend this restaurant - there are plenty of good places around, and we are trying as many as we can.

(First of all, the word Bistro refers to French style cooking not Italian.) The reviews we read indicated that Isabella's would be worth trying. It isn't. If you are from the mid-West and think Pizza Hut serves excellent pizza, this restaurant is for you because you have never experienced genuine Italian cuisine. It takes a long time to get your food. It should not take 40 minutes to get your salad. It was warm and wilted. Isabella's must have a tiny kitchen or a very sparse kitchen staff. My pasta dish was smothered in mozzarella. As was my wife's Sampler dish of rollatini, manicotti, and lasagna. Manicotti should be light and savory covered only in a delicious sauce, not buried under a heavy layer of mozzarella. By the way, the sauce is too salty. The Chicken Francese dish was too soggy to enjoy. You can pick up the bread at any supermarket. I thought the dipping oil was excellent, nothing else. The preparation of the food is at best only mediocre. The ladies on the staff were very nice and they work very hard. Isabella's could be better. The chef needs to spend a month travelling around Italy, especially Sicily, to update Isabella's recipes. The restaurant is always packed, so there must be many non-Italians who think this is good Italian food.
