I really enjoyed this stop on our way home from Key West. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has two seating areas, one casual area outside, one more formal area inside. We sat outside on a picnic table. It was casual with a great view of the sunset.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was good, but nothing crazy in my opinion. It was expensive but we were more paying for the sunset view. My wife's fish tacos were good but the serving size was not very generous. The meat was well cooked and well seasoned. The toppings were fresh but the tortillas were falling apart from the moisture. My grouper sandwich was good but the bottom bun was very soft. The fries were excellent! Service was good overall. We did have servers swap during our time and no one really introduced themselves but overall they did well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wouldn't say it was the best by any means, but if you are in the area and want to have a casual meal and watch the sunset, it's pretty decent![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm sure there are better in the area. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The views are fantastic and sitting outside at the picnic tables is awesome.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was average and the service was well below average. I think the server actually forgot about us at one point. The food took way too long to get to our table and the server was really slow in refilling drinks. The manager was able to assist her even though the server wasn't that busy. The portion size was average and probably not worth what we paid. This restaurant was recommended for its sunset view and that didn't disappoint. However, there are plenty of other restaurants with scenic view with much better food and service. We will try one of those next time. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Amazing view, fun place to boat to for lunch, lots of menu items.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Note upstairs has a more extensive menu (and a better view) than the bar downstairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was good, food decent, and prices reasonable for the area and view. read more

I was not happy with this place, it was such a money grab. I paid for my son to have the kids steak, I asked for Rice as a side substitute but they wouldn't accommodate. Then I ordered seafood nachos, I asked for some extra pico de gallo and the server rang in an appetizer size with chips for $8! All I wanted was extra pico for my nachos. I wouldn't have minded paying a little extra money but $8?!!! He just wanted to get his check size bigger! I will not be coming back! I will also warn others. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This was an amazing spot for dinner and a sunset! Sit upstairs so you can get the best views.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I started with the sunset marg which was pretty sweet - probably would go for a different drink next time. I wanted to sample a bunch of different seafoods so I ended up ordering the ocean bounty bucket! Plenty of food for 1 person and would make a good app for 2. The conch was interesting - I read you should go for cracked conch over a fritter but the fritters were good. Always love a fried shrimp and the scallop was really good as well! The mahi wasn't quite as tender as I wanted. Of course had to end with some key lime pie! My servers were super sweet and helpful with recommendations and I got to sit right next to the balcony. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Make sure you don't miss the sunset![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food is tasty and you can't beat the view. It's on the bayside and is just everything 'Keys Life' is about. Good food, good drinks, sun and fun. Service is good. We sat at the downstairs area. They had great live music, great drinks and food. We didn't get a chance to take pictures but we had shrimp, lobster, nachos! All were very tasty. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely enjoyed the beautiful sunset view, live music and had their house specialty rum punch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They blow the conch horn at sunset which was cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried conch fritters everywhere we went and found these to be the best. We also got a slice of their own in house made Key Lime pie. It was a dense cheesecake style that was different than others and so delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wonderful tropical laid back vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely would recommend next time I am coming by boat! read more

The food needs work. I wish I'd taken pictures of the food. While everything was edible and the staff was great - the food was pretty average to below average. They started with a nice complimentary bread basket (banana & cranberry) which would be wonderful at breakfast time. We ordered the Buffalo conch fritters - I know weird right?! The sauce was good and spicy - the conch was shoe leather. My husband and I shared the fish trio which was pretty tasty, but the sauce was thick and strangely flavored - with crispy capers My son had the shrimp and chicken linguine. Another oddball sauce. Meat and pasta were good though. For dessert the housemade key lime pie was actually a cheesecake, but delicious. The chef's choice mango cheesecake - not good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have the view - now they need to elevate their food game.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Would have loved to stay for dinner and more drinks at our table... Couldn't get our server or a server to check in. Had our one drink and closed out ((at the bar since our server was MIA). [[HIGHLIGHT]]But since this is prime waterfront property, this will likely not be corrected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The service, food and ambiance is great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would recommend some more attention to the cleanliness of the bathroom![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If they would've been clean, it would've been a 5-star![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Andrés was an amazing server! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great sunset location[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was just ok. I had the danish ribs. Too much sauce for my tastes. The potato puffs you can keep. Not a fan of those. read more

I cannot believe this restaurant doesn't have more stars. Or better reviews. I could not find anything wrong. Neither the service or the food. Everything was SUPERB! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were able to sit wherever we wanted. We decided to sit in a table for four on the first floor, outdoor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not sure if the second level has inside seating but it was a perfect evening with a nice breeze. We definitely wanted outdoor seating plus the sun was setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My husband ordered for me a Key Lime Mojito and he had a MoTito. My first Mojito since I'm not an alcohol drinker but it was the perfect drink to relax & recharge. My batteries were fried...lol We also decided to order the Seafood Nachos and it was D E L I C I O U S! The nachos were regular chips. Good but the star of the show was the seafood of course! The fish, shrimp and scallops were seasoned to perfection. It was chef's kiss for real!! I honestly was full with the nachos but I was curious about the Seafood Enchiladas. My husband was still hungry and wanted to try the Ocean Bounty Bucket of fried fish, scallops, shrimp and potato wedges. Oh it also included Conch fritters and a side of cocktail sauce and tartar sauce. Every single bite of everything I tried in that "bucket" was bursting with flavor and fried to a nice crisp. The cocktail sauce (which is never my favorite) was sooo good. I don't know if it's homemade but it was the best I have ever tried. Tartar sauce was pretty good too. I almost didn't have room for dessert BUT I knew I couldn't leave without trying a slice of their homemade Key Lime pie. I figured if the food we ordered was great then I could only imagine what their desserts taste like. I was right. Key Lime Pie 10/10!!! Not too overpowering, very creamy with just the right amount of sweet & tangy. The crust was delicious too. I can't wait to go back and try more entrees and desserts! This place seriously exceeded my expectations and was a lot better than other popular spots in Key Largo! read more

Amazing ambiance and service. A lot of waitstaff. Gorgeous view and sunset. We sat upstairs and had a corner table near the women's bathroom. I didn't mind as the sun was already setting and most of our dining was when the sun went down. Started with yellowtail ceviche - strong on the citrus and coconut milk. Tasty but a little overwhelming. The Jamaican peel and eat shrimp were really good. Husband had the lobster pasta special. I got trio fish and they came w Mahi, yellowtail and triple tail mmmm. Side of rice and some seasoned squash. Delicious. Husband was very fond of the sunset margarita. The waitress Geo gave us this complimentary piece of key lime pie because our food took too long (not necessary but kind). We had just paid and were leaving. Geo stopped me and handed me a key lime pie slice and said it was for our food taking so long. We had not complained and I told her that was not expected but aww thank you. How sweet. Very great place to dine. read more

Overall not good. I'm not sure of the good reviews. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service and the view were great but that is where it ended.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We stopped by on a whim for some good local seafood. We ordered the conch fritter bites, the catch of the day "Keyribbean Style", and a burger. The fish seemed like it came from the freezer section of the local grocery store and was really bland and "cheap" tasting. The redskin mashed potatoes and vegetables of the day were nothing special. Overall I felt like we were eating a fish dish from a local school cafeteria or hospital. The conch fritters were ok but I have had better at other locations throughout the Keys and the Caribbean. The burger was the only highlight. Do yourself a favor and continue down the highway to somewhere else. read more

What a great staff. Teresa is by far one off the best and caring people out there and awesome at her job. The mojitos are always on point. Thank you again for everything. See you again Pete and Amy. PS thank you SO MUCH BEN YOU ARE TRUELY A ROCKSTAR read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The view is great, however, you could only eat upstairs and the windows were locked, meaning the stench of fish is trapped inside and has no way of getting out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was honestly not great by any means. I find the amount of 5-star reviews pretty odd considering the experience we had. I strongly recommend going somewhere else. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]All I have to say is the view is beautiful, but that is it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To say the food was disappointing is an understatement. My girlfriend's rice bowl with tuna was awful and no better than a bowl that you get at chipotle. Absolutely horrendous. $35 for that pile of garbage, what a complete waste of money. I wouldn't feed it to my cat! My triple tail fish sandwich was edible but once again for $30 a complete rip. My margarita had zero alcohol in it.. stay away from this place. There's a Burger King across the street. You'll get a better meal. I guarantee it and you'll save a lot of money. read more

Restaurant is tucked down a small road shared with another establishment. ...keep driving down the back road, you will run right into it. This restaurant has a great view of the water, better as the sun is going down. The food is one of the best in town. The conch chowder was hearty and the jambalaya was outstanding. It seemed as if service was a little short on staff, but they worked hard to make sure you were taken care of. One of the best places on the island. I came to the Keys to see a pretty sunset, and we got dinner with a great view as well! read more

Always a good experience. Staff is. Friendly and knowledgeable. Food is well presented and delicious.

Incredible indoor, bayside lunch today! My family came here for lunch to enjoy the views on the water and was not disappointed! The restaurant was not busy at all so we got the best table overlooking the water. Our waiter was attentive the entire time. We ordered the coconut shrimp and Bayside Mahi Sandwich. Our food tasted so good, and I was planning to eat half my sandwich but ended up eating the entire thing. What a gem of a restaurant in Key Largo, a must go-to if staying here or passing through. read more

Sat at the bar without a wait. You could tell the staff was busy/stressed and they informed us it'd be a while for food. We happily ordered drinks which came quick and put our food in. Lucky for us the food was out in no time and delicious!!! We loved the you peel shrimp, mahi tacos and mixed seafood bucket--- ESPECIALLY the scallops which they brought extra of! Despite the hectic atmosphere the staff stayed calm and pleasant under pressure and we had a great night! Ended it with a key lime pie! read more

While on our little trip to the Keys, we decided to drop into Bayside Grille and see what they had to offer. This was a 2 story resturant with a beach area with giant beach chairs for photo ops! Also a dock. The lower floor was more casual with a live band and bar area and upstairs was a more elegant dining room with great ocean view. Obviously it was a fantastic sunset view and good food! We didn't need a reservation and we went upstairs to the dining area and were seated directly in front of a fantastic view! Impressive! We ordered the Clams for an appetizer and they were medium size and delicious. I had the Osso Bussco with mashed potatoes. It was good but not the best that I have tasted. It could've been a bit more juicy. My daughter had the Lobster and Crab Cake with mashed potatoes. She loved it. Our server was Melissa and she was very attentive and friendly. We had a nice evening. The sunset view was spectacular. We look forward to coming back. read more

Staff was very welcoming and friendly. Kudos to our server, Jen for handling multiple tables at a time efficiently. She recommended the pecan crusted triple tail and it did not disappoint!

This is a restaurant with more than just a good view! We came on a Friday night and snuck in to a table facing the ocean (lucky us, perfect timing). While we weren't served right away, they dropped off bread and came back as quickly as they could. As far as I could tell, there were only two servers running the whole show, so we were patient. I got "The Black Pearl" cocktail, which was a piña colada with a rum shot on top. It was fabulous! The food was better than most restaurants with this kind of view. The conch chowder was hearty and the jambalaya was filling! I came to the Keys to see a pretty sunset, and we got dinner with a great view as well! read more

Very tasty bar food with great service! They were busy for the views and had live music. Music was average but food was fresh and tasty. We are a party of 5, 3 kids.. our kids loved mahi sandwich and fish tacos ( ordered twice) their wedges were my fav! Key lime pie was just right with good crust They brought our main course before the starters and forgot our chocolate cake order, so we ended up going to snooks, the guy kept coming with wrong food " is that your order" ? It's the Indian family next table over dude! But honestly get here early - place is good and sunset views are good Will come again! read more

If you are looking for an amazing view of the sunset and great happy hour drink specials, this is a great place. Bar area is fun with live music. The food is subpar. Ordered the Mahi Tacos. The Mahi was dry. On a good note the slaw and wasabi sauce on the tacos was good. One in the group ordered lobster. It was just ok. Asked for butter for lobster ( which is normally warm/ liquid) multiple times it showed up solid. The server said it took time to come from the kitchen, yet it was frig cold. Tried the wings, they were just ok. Nothing special. I was told from the local hotels to avoid the place foodwise. I really hope they figure out the food. This place could become a hotspot. read more

Honoring happy hour prices. We got with 15 minutes left in happy hour and each ordered 2 beers but at the end of the night we were charged full price. The food was ok at best Seafood Enchiladas 2/5 only tasted tomato sauce. Key Largo special should be ordered with out the Key Lime sauce/cream and be done with garlic and wine sauce. read more

Great sunset dinner spot. Really quite spectacular sunset. Fun one man band added to the experience (playing Pink Floyd as I type this). The service was ok. I feel that they were really, really slammed. Maybe that's their norm for sunset. Not sure if this was a normal Monday night but crazy for NYs week? Slow but everyone was super friendly and helpful. They were literally fast walking from customer to customer. Smiles all around. The food was ok. Since the same kitchen serves the top floor restaurant too, I had higher expectations. The food was more bar food-like. The ribs were ok. Definitely not fall off the bone and almost chewy. The coconut shrimp, as I saw in some of the reviews from 2019, were too crunchy with the breading and the shrimp themselves were a bit rubbery. Didn't even finish the eight. Last ditch effort with the house key lime pie--It too was just ok. The crust was a bit soggy. Not much key lime flavor. Huge portion though. Made the calories vs taste calculation and didn't finish it (not worth the calories). Go for the sunset, music, and smiles but just have drinks. read more
