    Smoked pork belly
    Sherry J.

    The weather was much nicer on this trip than it was the last time we were here, so we were able to sit outside on the deck. What a beautiful view, even after the sun went down and the full moon came out. Derek was our server, and the food and service were impeccable. He said it is not the same chef as a year ago. How could it be even better than thelast time we were here? But it sure was! We started with grilled prawns, which were enormous, Rhum House Spritz, and I ordered the Jamaican mango escovitch black grouper while RJ ordered the broiled black grouper with lime butter. The food was phenomenal; the Rhum House is outstanding. We want to come back to stay on the property and work our way through the menu. Except I will just keep ordering the grouper. We finished with cheesecake on a ladyfinger crust. What?? Whoever heard of such a thing? I'll only be eating my cheesecake with ladyfinger crusts going forward, thanks.

    This is our view from the patio looking over the water.

    Great staff and amazing food. The wait staff friendly and knowledgeable. The 20 oz prime ribeye, ahi tuna, mushrooms, and truffle fries were fantastic. I asked for salt with my steak and they served Maldon salt it was amazing. I would highly recommend the Rhum House. Inside had a boathouse / speakeasy feel and the outdoor patio was great.

    My bf and I came back here for date night and the service was unbelievably bad. I wanted to leave and go somewhere else but my bf insisted we see how long it took for the bartender to acknowledge us. It took about 15 minutes for him to come over and ask us what we wanted to drink and then another 20/30 for him to make and give the drinks to us. In the meantime, he was walking around, cleaning glasses, talking with the servers, etc. ... no sense of urgency to take care of us -- not to mention they weren't busy. We were the only people seated at the bar. By the time our drinks came we were starving and decided we would stay to eat because we didn't want to drive elsewhere and waste more time. We ordered the shishito peppers, the tapioca fried octopus, and the kale Caesar salad. The only dish that was good was the octopus, so much so that we ordered another one. The peppers were not even charred and had zero flavor. The salad had a weird taste from the dressing. This was such a let down from the last time we came. Will not be coming back for a while.

    We enjoyed our visit to Rhum House on Grassy Key. Ambiance: lots of attention to detail went into the decor. We felt like we were aboard a luxury cruise ship while sitting at the bar. It is a very inviting space, and upstairs, they have another bar with a fantastic view of the water. It was windy, so we opted for inside. Service: Erich was our bartender, and he was great! My husband loved his cocktails, especially the espresso martini. Food: We shared a Caesar salad and the bison tenderloin. I loved the fried plantains on the salad, and our tenderloin was cooked perfectly. I forgot to snap a pic. We saved room for some bread pudding, and it did not disappoint. We saw the chef passing by and thanked him for his beautiful creations. Our bill came in a tiki cocktail book-clever. If you're looking for a dinner "experience," Rhum House delivers and is excellent for a date night, cocktail, or friend gatherings.

    Nice outdoor atmosphere with a reasonably priced menu. Roof top and ocean view. Live music. Good variety from a small menu. Everything tasted great! Service was good!

    The Rhum House ambience is great! They have a beautiful indoor dining and a covered patio with a great ocean view! We opted to sit outside as we went around 615, so the weather was perfect at this time (not too hot)! We were greeted right away when we arrived and our server was very nice and attentive. The menu isn't huge and is different than most keys restaurant options. My husband started with 6 raw oysters and I did the key west pink shrimp cocktail. The key west pinks are always a good choice and are nice and plump! For our entrees we shared the scallops and the snapper. Both were just okay, I really was not impressed and honestly didn't eat much of either. The food presentation was nice! Scallops entree came with 3 large scallops over a corn polenta ($40), I did enjoy the polenta but the scallops lacked flavor and were honestly under cooked in the middle. The snapper entree actually was a decent size fish and had sounded very good/flavorful on the menu but the flavor of the dish/fish was underwhelming. The brussels sprouts were good. We did get the chocolate croissant bread pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream which I did really enjoy. Highlights of the meal was the key west pinks, dessert, and dinner view from the patio!

    Fruit platter, small

    We are staying at Grassy Flats so we had to try out the breakfast. Beautiful outdoor seating area with great views! The server was excellent! Super friendly. It took awhile for the food to arrive but we are on island time so thanks alright :) Hubby got the fruit which was amazingly fresh! Everything was so good! I got the farm fresh eggs. Over medium. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Bacon was crisp and the potatoes were delicious as well. Prices are about what you'd expect for a hotel restaurant.

But it isn't a good restaurant, in any way. As several other reviewers have said, the service is terrible and the food isn't good. We were staying at the resort and came right when they opened for breakfast, but for whatever reason, they decided to help another larger group first, that arrived well after us. The larger group got their food and left before we even got our food. The servers largely ignored us the entire time, even though they were super attentive to other groups. I'm not sure what we did to bother the staff so much besides arriving right at 7 am, but the experience was terrible and we won't be back here even though we have a food credit through the resort. Not that it will do any good, but we will be reaching out to the hotel management because they clearly have a problem here. I don't think they care because they have a captive audience on the resort that is always new. If you're staying at the resort , this is not a place to actually eat a meal.

And it's not only the drink menu with its custom crafted cocktails, wines, beers & ciders that will wow you but the accompanying snacks and bites are just as divine. And bonus, it's not only a bar, but also a liquor store with an awesome selection of wines and spirits. This bar definitely has a locals vibe. It's small , dark and cozy and the small tables with velvet chairs are very welcoming. We loved it so much. We came back for a second night. We tried the Maria Rita, which was a reposado tequila with fresh lemon, lime, hibiscus, and habanero, perfect version of a margarita. We also tried blowing smoke up your glass, this was made with Papa Pilar, dark rum, pineapple, fresh lime, house made basil syrup & tiki bitters. Absolutely fabulous. We also tried their deviled eggs each topped with unique toppings like trout row, bacon, and scallions. They were absolutely fabulous. They also have a great selection of charcuterie, Key nuts which you can order with different flavor, profiles, caviar, olives & peppers. Also, the most generous happy hour I've ever heard of from 12 to 6 PM every day. Don't miss out on this little jewel when in Key West.

Our friend Bubba highly recommended it, saying "square grouper slaps." If you know him, you know that is extremely high praise. Let me tell you, square grouper does indeed slap. We were seated on the patio, facing the marina. We got to watch a magical sunset as we literally stuffed ourselves stupid with a variety of insanely yummo seafood. We got the coconut shrimp, portobello fries, scallops, and the tile fish, all per the amazing Ari's recommendations. Did I take any pictures NO I was enjoying a wonderful evening with my yummy man. They were all absolute wins. I've never had coconut shrimp before, and these were absolutely delightful- tender and tropical, which is not a flavor I thought I would enjoy but was happy at that uno reverse. The portobello fries were crisp and juicy?? And meaty from the mushroom?? Idk man a bitch was into it I ate them all. My scallops were divine- they came with this pork belly and sweet potato hash and just pleasured every tastebud with every bite. His tile fish was good, it was crispy and gorg. He ate the whole thing so fast, while commenting in between bites how much he was enjoying it. We also got the key lime pie (mine) and the brownie (his). It was literally my favorite key lime pie of the whole trip, it was so good. We couldn't finish the desserts and took them home, I'm really excited to have them as the best midnight snack of my life. Amazing Ari- you are a gem. Her service was unmatched. She was so happy, informative, and attentive. Her recommendations did not miss. She took phenomenal pictures for us in front of the water that I can one day show our kids and say "look how hot mom and dad were before you guys!" She needs a 200% raise. Thank you for making our last night here so wonderful!
