    Mahi Mahi tacos
    Dave T.

    We had some time to kill before we could check into rental so, stopped here on our visit to the keys for a late lunch. Seated right away by the water, it is kind of off season. Ordered a margarita with tequila. Was very strong...loved it great start to our stay. Ordered blackened Mahi Mahi tacos that came with rice and beans. My wife had Tuna nachos. Both dishes were excellent. We gobbled it up. Fish was fresh and tasted great. For dessert we ordered key lime pie. It had a good tart flavor and wasn't super sweet. Restaurant was clean and staff was friendly. Will definitely be back again.

    Chicken quesadilla

    Food was very good as was the service. Clean bathrooms. A chicken quesadilla and snapper sandwich and 2 drinks came to $80 A bit excessive.

    Key lime pie

    Sat in the indoor space as it was a bit windy and don't like sharing my meal with the flys. I ordered the fillet mingon (med rare) with seared vegetables and a house salad. The fillet was a little under but melted in my mouth. The veggies were mushy but tasty and the salad was a salad. All in all a really good meal. Finished it off with their key lime pie which was delicious. I'd go back.

    THE ORIGINAL TUNA NACHOS

    The vibes were immaculate, beautiful outdoor seating next to the river and it did not feel too hot. The noise level was great and the waitstaff were very attentive and all around friendly and willing to do anything to make the experience better. The food was out of this world and fairly priced. Highly recommend for a casual night out or a special event.

    Nice open air restaurant on the channel that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had the normal breakfast that was good. Only slightly negative thing I could say is when we first arrive everyone seemed like they were not in a good mood. No one smiled at all, maybe it was too early and they are not morning people, lol! Had we been greeted with a welcoming smile I would have given them 5 stars.

    Fun times

    Poke Bowls are excellent, conch fritters are great, fish sandwiches are good enough. Staff is attentive and fast, drinks are good. Recommend .

    I don't know what anybody's talking about but this place deserves a five! The ambience is amazing. You literally have the ocean right next to here was boats tied up to the dock at the restaurant. Emily was our server. She was great! Helped me with my picking mess. We ordered the purple bowl, chicken, Cobb salad, island tacos, and crunchy grouper sandwich. Amazing! You will not go wrong being here it is outside, but it's cool enough that it won't make a difference. Come in whatever you're wearing they don't care. See you guys again soon thanks so much for a great hospitality.

    Island Grill is a great spot in Islamorada if you're looking for seafood. It's waterfront too and shaded! The service was a bit slow and forgetful towards the end of the night, it was a weekday when my family went so that might have a part in it. Hopefully it's better during the weekends!

    Tuna nachos
    Alana L.

    The view from the outdoor seating at Island Grill is beautiful & breezy. We enjoyed watching the marina traffic pass by and park. We ordered two items: the tuna nachos and the coconut encrusted snapper. We would suggest the tuna nachos which were flavorful & fresh. Unfortunately, the snapper dish is not recommended. The fish and no flavor & the beurre blanc was also flavorless and unappealing. The broccoli was decent, but the French fries were old and tasted like the heat lamp that kept them warm.

    Lobster Mac n cheese
    Amy R.

    Lobster Mac n cheese. Thats it. Soo creamy, beautifully cooked lobster. Star of the night. The live music entertainment was great, average service. But their lobster Mac n cheese can't be ignored. We also had some stone crab chowder which was good as well. I would return to try some of their other dishes

    Awesome experience all around! Great views, vibes, service, and food!! Our waiter Shane was great. Will be back!

    Stopped for lunch and was not impressed. Drinks were terrible and the food was not much better. Wait staff didn't seem to care either

    fernando was amazing, he made the vibes great. we love him! next time we come back we hope he is…read morehere !

    I got sooo many recommendations to go here, I had to with my wife for our 24th Wedding Anniversary…read more I'm giving this place 5 stars overall even though I had 1 major disappointment-the miserable young woman hostess who made us feel like we were bothering her by wanting to go into the restaurant. No smile, No congeniality, Little eye contact, Did Not listen and I had to repeat myself. The reception we received would have made us turn around and go somewhere else, if I hadn't had so many recommendations. OK, now the reasons why I have given them 5 stars. We were quoted a 45 minute wait (about 7:30pm on Tuesday night) but luckily some bar stools opened up AS SOON as we walked in and so we sat at the bar (they offered their full menu), and Fernando, who was EXTREMELY busy, greeted us with a smile and very pleasant demeanor. He prepared our drinks, which were delicious. Right next to him and working the 'Service Bar' was the Manager on Duty: Lauren. She was very pleasant and engaged with us whenever she had the opportunity. She even helped us with menu suggestions, unfortunately, we spoke about one of their nightly specials, the Shrimp Piccata with Gnocchi, but they were sold out when we tried to order it with Fern. So we had a great experience at the bar, and here's the food review; -Fried Whole Yellowtail. Delicious! Presented like a picture and cooked perfectly! Loved the sauce, Pico, Jasmine Rice & Fried tostones. -Citrus/Beet Salad with Whipped Goat Cheese, Quinoa, Nuts, Arugula tossed in a light vinaigrette. All I can say: "Empty Plate Club"...DELICIOUS!! -Now the BEST plate: PEI Mussels. THIS WAS THE BEST PREPARATION OF MUSSELS-I HAVE EVER HAD! The mussels were fresh but the sauce was a "Mic Drop"!!! I split the mussel shell in half, and scooped the mussel shell into the AMAZING sauce and ate it like I was slurping a fresh oyster! After the mussels were finished I ate the rest of the sauce WITH A FORK!!! The sauce was delicious, thick, with garlic and hot spice. I attacked the plate and forgot to take a picture...sorry! We ended our meal with a tasty piece of delicious Key Lime Pie. GREAT EXPERIENCE AND RECOMMEND AND WILL COME BACK!!! Lauren, great job, the place ran clean, efficient and professional!
