    3.5 - Came here for dinner. First we were seated outside, which was nice but sooo quiet you could hear a pen drop. They had live music and we were here on a bachelorette trip so we wanted some fun vibes. We asked to move inside and they let us. It was much better with the music - so good! This place is interested because the prices reflect a higher end seafood spot but the interior and vibe are more laid back. For example, the chairs are cold metal ones. We had Jenny as a waiter and she was very sweet. We ordered the blue fish crab dip which was yummy, I do wish they had crackers instead, it was a little hard to dip the bread. The seared shrimp was pretty good too, but not anything super amazing. Overall, it was a good experience but the prices really don't match the ambiance.

    Good first meal in the keys. We sat outside on the deck and got to listen to some live music, which was fun. Service was good. The lobster tempura was tasty - we wish there was more sauce, though (it was real tasty and added to the tempura). Our fish dishes were both nicely prepared. The key lime pie was good - we liked the toasted meringue on top.

    Food was good, staff was really friendly, but they recently updated their menu so the items recommended on Yelp aren't available anymore (crab cakes, lobster Mac and cheese, etc). The prices are also higher than the menu I looked at online. There were more drink options on the menu than food. I thought we were missing a menu. (And the Yelp website link isn't accurate). The blackened fish sandwich was really good! Overall, it was good, we were just disappointed that they didn't have the things highlighted by other Yelp reviews.

    Anglers punch and summer vibes
    Claudia C.

    Our dinner experience was top-notch, and Emily truly made it exceptional, she was warm, attentive, full of great recommendations, and incredibly understanding of my severe dairy allergy, which I really appreciated. I ordered the "Summer Vibes" drink special and my boyfriend had the Angler's Punch, both delicious. We started with the mussels, which were fantastic and reminded us of the ones from Bonefish, flavorful and fresh. The standout for me was the tempura lobster: light, crispy batter with incredible texture. I didn't know what to expect, but it ended up being my favorite dish of the night. We also shared the market catch of the day, which my boyfriend couldn't stop raving about. We'll definitely be back on future trips to and from Key West, this time we're staying at Hawks Cay, but it's well worth the detour. We hoped to sit outside and enjoy the live music, but seating was full when we arrived at 7:15 on a Sunday, totally understandable given how popular the place is. Clean bathrooms and nice soap were a bonus, and we appreciated the manager personally visiting tables, great touch all around!

    Inside the restaurant

    This place is super cold bring your coat !! It is also very loud in here. They don't have mint or chamomile tea. They have a sort of black teas and a lemon tea. The yellowtail blackened. Very good and the mango and rice was a good combination. I had a 6 ounce lobster tail that was very tasty. I also had the loaded baked potato which I had to send back once because it wasn't hot. I highly recommend that if you don't like nacho cheese, make sure you order this without cheese. When I got it the first time there was a liquid cheese on it. When I received an actual hot potato, the second time I asked for it without the runny cheese, and it tasted so much better. I ordered the angler mud pie they said they were out of it so then we got the salted caramel cheesecake. The service here is absolutely terrible. They did have a party however, from the time we finished our meal, it took forever for our way to come back and check on us. I had to ask 2 to 3 different people to the dessert and get our bill. From my experience here tonight I would not eat here again, nor would I recommend this restaurant. The food is average. The service is horrible and it's freezing in here.

    Cheeseburger with fries
    Teresa W.

    We had high hopes for this spot for our latest family vacation, but sadly, as a family, we agree it's awful every time and we are not eating here again any time soon . We have been booking harbor village condos and visiting Hawks Cay for over 25 years and this restaurant is subpar. Fried pickles and conch fritters to start, the pickles were fried beyond recognition. The conch fitters were ok. The table had multiple cheeseburgers, a short rib cheeseburger, multiple fish tacos, and a chicken sandwich. Once again the burgers were overcooked and dry, the chicken sandwich was ok, the fish tacos were pretty good but needed more spice for blackening. We requested no onions on the burgers and they had lots of onions. The server was trying but we were 20 minutes in to get drinks and an hour plus on for dinner. This is a fast casual place. Why so long? Our son and daughter in law had to leave with the baby before the rest of us were finished. Not coming back on the next trip to Hawks Cay. We would rather drive 15 minutes off property than face this bad food. Dining options are all American with local seafood. A full bar is available along with indoor and outdoor seating options.
