Best meal of our vacation, hands down!…read more We started with the smoked fish dip. This fish dip is a bit more mayo-forward than others we've have but it was sure delicious and beautifully presented. All of us got some type of fresh fish. I tried the coconut encrusted hogfish in key lime butter. Whoa! So delicious, fresh, and not too heavy. The mashed potatoes were really good too! My wife also enjoyed her jalapeño encrusted grouper as well; the perfect blend of green, charred spicy notes without being overpowering. We loved the charred green beans, something we'd not had before. The menu here was refreshingly original and a fun take of fresh seafood. It's a cool spot and the service was good too.

Our server was prompt, attentive, and answered our questions well. We started with the fish dip. Great presentation and nice sized portion for sharing. I had one of the fresh catch-the grouper-prepared blackened with the key lime butter on the side. Excellent! Paired with a generous portion of fresh green beans. Wish I had another night to sample more of the items in the menu.

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.

Food: only reason I took a star off is the price has gotten very expensive. 2 entrees, 1 app, 1 mocktail was about $150. The fish dip was sooo good!!!, but again, pricy at $20. I got the fried coconut shrimp basket which comes with a few hush puppies that are pretty large in size and french fries. The taste for all of it was very good. My husband got hog fish w/ rice and veg medley and it was good, he loved the rice, but again pricy at mid $40's. All in all, this is always a great place to come!

We settled on conch fritters and simple cheeseburger. Burger was $21.00 and was just so-so. Conch fritters were $19.00 but they were excellent. Large portion and actually had conch inside, not just breading. We like to sit at the bar and enjoy the music but it was honestly too rowdy of a band for a 6 pm family crowd. We heard one family ask to be seated inside because the music was too loud. Whatever happened to the nice Island vibe for your music? Bring back some acoustic musicians please..
