Never a bad experience at The Oyster Society!…read more We were back in the wine room, so the vibe was intimate and quiet, which was perfect for our group. Obviously, got a lot of oysters. Our usuals are the Pink Moons but we also tried some local oysters and they were delicious! I got the seared scallops with the black spaghetti and it was great. Always love their seafood! Overall I think everyone loved the food - a friend got the lamb shank and said it was amazing. The only thing that could have been improved was the surf n turf special. The steak (which I think was a strip) was reported to be lacking in flavor... Pro tip - don't skip on the free bread/cornbread and butter! It's the perfect carb start to any meal!!

Tough place to locate because there is very little signage. We were able to find it after driving around a bit. We found a nice parking spot in the rear of the hotel that it sits beside. Upon entering the area where the music stage is set up, we noticed a decent crowd with everyone sitting and enjoying the music. The bar is inside where everyone goes to get a drink. The service was good...a couple of bartenders ready to help, if needed. The crowd was mainly older adults....ages 40-65 would be my guess. The music was good....all the hits from the Eagles to Nirvana to James Taylor. As a first timer, it was kind of confusing where to order food. However, I did not notice food being served. I did notice a small restaurant set up in a small seperate building but there was no one eating in there. I guess the bartenders take the order and then deliver the food. Would I go back? Not sure...not much happening that would attract me Vibe: laid back....easy going Drink Price: very reasonable Parking: for me, it was great but I could see people having issues Dress: key west casual 4 stars

I asked Josh to put up our umbrella. Every table has one. Josh was our server. He was funny and accommodating. We decided to get a few appetizers and things to share. We got the tuna poke nachos, pork belly bao buns, chicken satay and the crunchy Kane salad. The poke nachos consistency of the wonton chips was extremely crunchy and fresh. There were pieces of tuna, srirchaca lime aioli, avocado, scallions and jalapeños. I am very sensitive to spice, however I did not find this item to be spicy. The pork belly bao buns were also delicious! They came with honey garlic sauce, pickled onions, jalapeño, cucumber, green onions and sesame aioli. The chicken satay was FANTASTIC!!! They came as 5 skewers. The peanut sauce it came with was one of the best I've ever tried. Super creamy and peanutty. Made to perfection. The Kane salad was phenomenal and I loved the addition of the crunchy noodles. It came with mixed greens, red onions, bell peppers, carrots, cucumber, sesame seeds and a citrus vinaigrette. Overall really beautiful dining experience with a breathtaking view of the beach while we ate.

The staff was absolutely incredible. The atmosphere was vibrant yet upscale. We started off with complementary bread with an oil (& something paste - I didn't catch the name) which was excellent.

All entrées come with a house salad or you can do an upgrade to a Caesar. I chose the house salad that comes with balsamic vinaigrette. Very well put together, light and refreshing. The Cernia Alla Pescatore was very flavorful and everything was cook to perfection. For desert, I had the Profiteroles ($17): cream puff filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with hot chocolate fudge. What a great way to end a fantastic meal!!!

My husband and I are full time residents of Marco Island. Since moving here almost a year ago,…read morewe've been having fun trying all of the amazing restaurants in the area. Today, we attempted to have lunch at The Speakeasy. We've heard mixed reviews from other residents. However, we like to form our own opinions so we thought we'd give it a try. What a mistake. Walking into the bar/restaurant, a handwritten sign told us to seat ourselves. So, walking towards their outside area, we were hit by a wall of cigarette smoke. No biggie. It's outdoors. Not ideal but whatever. It IS mostly a bar. So, we picked a table. On our way to sit down, a server walking past mumbled a hello and kept walking. So, we said hi and sat at a table. The server then stood several feet away and just stared at us. Literally, did not move. Not even to take care of other tables, which we noticed after a time, were just sitting there not receiving service as well. So, we waited. ...and waited. 10 minutes later, and the server never moved. Ultimately, we decided to leave. As my husband and I stood up and began walking out, the server reached behind her and grabbed two menus, watching us the entire time. She then said, "Sorry folks. Have a great day." Wow. Off season, places like this depend on locals to keep their businesses afloat. With the kind of attitude and service we received, we won't be back.

We thought prices were in line with other restaurants on the island. We started with a caesar salad and arancini, both were good and portions were reasonable and what we expected. I had the shrimp and scallop risotto for an entree and the fish was cooked perfectly. Scallops can be tricky, but these were excellent. Risotto was creamy and delicious.

The first day I took advantage of their crab legs special (Sundays and Mondays) which came with melted butter and fries and was delicious!
