The staff are exquisite and meet every expectation in warmth and service. The restaurant is clean and warmly lit, and the seating is so comfy! We always get the lobster bisque, which used to be served with sherry, which I miss, but it is still amazing all the same. We ordered cocktails and wine which were tasty and a generous pour. We also ordered fresh oysters as a starter and they were top shelf and the server was so knowledgeable about the different origins. The sushi is always fresh and tasty, and the Melanie roll is a personal favorite. The fish and steak entrees were hot and well seasoned. The desserts were also amazing and by the time we were done we were stuffed to the gills. Between the food and staff, it keeps us coming back year after year!

We got 2 lbs of medium, which are originally $27 but since they had a valentines special, if you bought 2 pounds of medium, it would be 15% off. So we did 2 pounds of medium....and one pound of large claws. The stone crab is on a sweeter flavor profile. The stone crab mustard sauce......it's so delicious. It complimented the crab so so well. We were stuffed with 2 pounds but of course we had to finish our plate. We also bought a souvineer mallet, $3.99. In total we spent $100. Which is an amazing price. Usually in other restaurants, 2 jumbos are like $60. It is so worth it to buy it from this location. The service was great, she asked if we wanted to eat there or for take out. We said we were going to eat it there, and they cracked the crab for us and it was so easy to eat. The ambiance is great. Live music, beautiful weather, the water, the boats......such a great experience. I will be back very soon.

Five stars, and I want to explain this properly because High Tide in Key Largo is absolutely a…read moreplace people should experience at least once. This is one of those spots that immediately tells you it's a local favorite the second you walk in. It feels homey, lived in, and deeply rooted in the community. The average crowd definitely skews older, which honestly just shows how loyal the regulars are and how long this place has been doing something right. We stood for a minute or two when we arrived, which wasn't a problem at all, but the initial interaction felt a little abrupt. Nothing hostile, just very direct and urgent. We later found out that Cathy is the owner, and it became clear very quickly that this place is her whole world. She works hard, moves fast, and runs on urgency. That energy can sometimes come off sharp, especially to visitors who aren't used to that local, no frills style, but we gave her the benefit of the doubt. There were moments throughout our visit where the tone felt a little rough around the edges, and it wasn't just with us, we noticed it with other tables too. It didn't feel personal, more like someone who is stretched thin and running on fumes. To her credit, there were moments where she self corrected, and I genuinely believe this was just a long day rather than bad intentions. Running a place like this day in and day out is not easy, and you can feel how much effort goes into keeping it moving. This review isn't meant to tear anyone down, just to be honest for future guests so they know what to expect walking in. What truly changed our entire experience and pushed this from a four star visit to a solid five was our server. Her name started with a T, she wore glasses, and she was African American, and she was an absolute blessing. She treated us with warmth, patience, and genuine care, like we were family she was looking out for. When we sat down and the table needed to be wiped, she handled it gracefully without a single awkward moment. Everything she did felt intentional and kind. She was attentive without hovering, respectful, and genuinely happy to be doing her job. There was also a sweet older Latina woman clearing tables who was just as lovely and welcoming. It became very clear that despite the different personalities, this place functions as a team, and the heart of High Tide lives in the people who treat guests with care and humanity. If you get that server whose name starts with a T, you are in excellent hands. Now let's talk about the food, because this is where High Tide really shines. The hash brown casserole is a straight ten out of ten. No exaggeration. Comfort food perfection. Crispy, savory, and absolutely worth ordering. The country style platter we ordered was also a ten according to my friend, hearty and satisfying in the best way. The lobster benedict was good, I would give it about an eight. It's a fun, unique option if you want to try something different, but not the standout compared to the rest of the menu. And then there's the real star of the show, the Key lime pie. Even if you are not hungry, come for the pie. This is hands down the best Key lime pie I have ever had. Perfectly balanced, not overly tart, smooth and almost cheesecake like in texture. It's the kind of dessert that makes you pause after the first bite because it's that good. Beautifully presented too. The decor is charming and thoughtfully cluttered in a way that feels authentic, not staged. The bathrooms are old but very clean. Parking is a little quirky but manageable, and there is parking available if you're patient. Overall, the vibe is cozy, memorable, and unmistakably local. Would I come back? Absolutely, especially for the food and that pie. Cathy, you are clearly working your ass off, and I hope this was just a rough day. This review comes with honesty and flowers, not shade. Five stars for the food, the heart, and the people who make this place what it is. I do recommend it.

Service was prompt and friendly and we really enjoyed the whole thing. I got the mahi mahi maracumbe style, which was recommended by our server as a house specialty. It did not disappoint! It was light, flavorful, and quite surprisingly really one of the most delicious fish dishes I've ever had at a restaurant. Everyone else enjoyed their food as well.

We ate inside (Floridians like us know better than to expose ourselves to the heat and No See Um's outside at dusk). We thoroughly enjoyed the inside ambiance. Well done. The spacious patio out back did also actually look nice. I wanted to give this 5 stars but my husband was not impressed by the taste (or lack thereof) of his bacon burger so I had to take away a star. I had a delicious Woodrow Chicken sandwich piled high with their signature onions and bbq sauce. When they brought it out, I wondered how I could possibly get the huge thing into my mouth. It was enormous (see photo) and tasty. I cut it in half and ate leftovers the next day. Service was good except our waitress did seem to struggle a bit. She either could not hear us or did not understand us (language issue?). At least she kept asking us until she understood. I do appreciate that. We were skeptical but our order came out right, yippee! We even splurged by getting dessert. Can't pass up chocolate cake when it appears on the menu (rarely). It was a beautiful presentation (see photo)! Next time you are in Key Largo, give these folks a try. You won't be disappointed.

We sat at the bar, inside, with a view of the kitchen and cook, but I'd recommend sitting outside if it's not too hot and weather permits. That's a much better view. We started with their fried asparagus appetizer. The stalks were quite thin, and the portion small, but what we had was delicious. Especially tasty when dipped in the horseradish sauce. I'd get this again! After that we shared their fish dish. Two scoops on a plate with chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, and chopped green pepper. The cutest heart shaped crackers came with the dip. We had leftover dip so we took it home with us (in our cooler). We enjoyed it on toast later on. So the very good? The food. The not so good? The kitchen looked grungy and the ladies room was a mess. Would we come here again? Yes, but we'd sit outside.

We have eaten at this restaurant several times before when visiting ORC but had never been able to get the pizza. We booked our reservations several weeks in advance for our visit and Valentine's night. The bread basket is always delicious. Lots of choices along with nice butter and a dipping oil. We ordered a few adult beverages to enjoy with the bread and the evening was off to a great start. I knew I wanted margarita pizza and stuck to my plan. It was really good. Hubby had a small salad and a small spaghetti dish for his dinner. He liked both. We do like that they offer smaller size pasta dishes especially if you are having a salad or appetizer. Their fare is Italian but a bit higher end. You can sit outside or dine in the lovely dining room. We were able to get a window seat inside overlooking the Marina which was so nice.
