O . M. G. I'm soooo happy with my first visit to Salt & Ash. New restaurant in Duck Key. Each…read moredish was incredible! My friends even went back the next day for a second round!! Here's the highlights: - brioche bread , best bread & homemade butter in my entire life. The whole table was obsessed with this bread! Order it!! - jerk carrots , AMAZING! The yogurt dill sauce was the perfect compliment to offset the slightly spicy jerk seasoning. This was my favorite side dish. - full roasted cauliflower - so unique! Also delicious - Cacio e Pepe pasta - homemade noodles, packed with pepper flavor. Delicious. The red pepper was a little too much for me , but the black pepper was perfect. - smash burger - my husband says it's the best burger he's ever eaten. The cocktails were also amazing. The Kill Dill was the tables favorite. The brownie dessert was our least favorite, but who cares when everything else blew us away. The atmosphere and service is also 5 stars. Make a reservation online! They book up days in advance. I'll be back! So impressed by the food here!

We ended up coming here for our anniversary dinner as we got married at Hawks Cay. I was told…read morethey're going up for a Michelin star soon. The interior is very nicely done with a good atmosphere. Not many people at all even though I was told it was booked out. More than 80% of the restaurant was empty. To start we got the Brioche rolls and the truffle potatoes. The rolls were very good with the honey butter definitely recommend. The potatoes are a bit hit or miss as it's not coated well so you'll get some pieces that taste great and some that are just plain potato. Definitely think they should toss these a bit better or add more sauce as they become quite dry. The pieces that are coated do have a good flavor. Before our appetizers we also got a "Margarita" pizza. I say "Margarita" because I would equate this more to just a cheese pizza. It's quite greasy and has some flop to it. It definitely was a decent pizza just think they need to lighten up on the cheese, add a bit more basil, and add some tomato. For our meals my wife got the Cacio E Pepe and I got the 72 hour beef burger with egg and truffle. She said the pasta was okay but nothing special the actual pasta was not typical Cacio e Pepe. She wouldn't recommend it. The burger for me was the breaking point. I actually had really high hopes for this as it seemed like a highlight of their menu. I added the black truffle and egg which was a $18 up charge as well. Upon getting the burger it actually looked pretty good. The fries were a bit cold but wasn't a big deal as we already had a ton of carbs. I cut the burger in half to check the cross section and upon doing so it immediately started falling apart. I noticed it had some stringy beef almost like braised beef on it. Apparently it was "beef bacon" but to us it looked like braised beef. Nevertheless even though I'm not a fan of braised beef I tried to give the burger a chance but it really wasn't good. The bun I assume was a potato roll and because of all the toppings the bottom was essentially disintegrated and falling apart since it was soaked. Being called a beef bacon smash burger I expected 1-2 patties and some crispy bacon definitely not what I received. I also expected with paying extra to atleast have a couple truffle shavings on it. The taste of truffle was so light I'd say it was barely even there. Service wise it was not the worst nor the best. Usually when we go to higher end places or places aiming for a star we'd expect perfect service. We had to ask for refills on multiple occasions, we don't drink alcohol so we just needed a refill of their soda from the fountain which isn't that hard. So definitely not as on point as it could be. All in all I think for being in the keys this is a good place that has some improvements to make. I don't think they're Michelin star ready as of yet but with some adjustments I definitely think they could be on their way.

I've been eyeing Plaza girls for years and decided that's where we're going. It's a very pretty restaurant very cozy. We were a party of four comfortably sat. I started with there special old-fashioned, which was smoked and absolutely delicious. Another had a Cosmo that was made perfectly. the one appetizer special, coconut lobster fritters, with fruit compote was Spot on . the perfect beginning . We also had their baked Brie and tomato mozzarella salad. All were top notch. Main courses were there hog fish of the day with risotto, chicken Parmesan and the New York strip. Delicious. Every single bite. Ended our meal with a perfectly made espresso martini! Our server was Kyle and he was exactly what you want , efficient and friendly. This will become one of our regulars when we visit the keys, which is usually once a year

The prices were so ridiculously high that my expectations were set accordingly. Needless to say the food did not measure up. The scallop risotto was good but not $52 good. my linguini with white clam sauce was very good but the menu showed the price at $32. After arriving home I noticed they charged me $38. our bottle of wine was $55 on the menu but $59 on the bill. Very unprofessional to say the least! Fine, fool me once but you will not have the opportunity to do so again.

Not sure if it's because we are a large party 10 or more, or what? Our last visit was a Sunday evening in early July . We ate outside. Waiter was good at getting water out to everyone. But when it came to drink orders we must have waited 15-20 minutes for him to take our drink orders. I had to ask him to take my appetizer order. We had to ask several times for our drinks - soft drinks- not alcoholic. They were not good at cleaning our dirty appetizer plates away after delivering dinner leaving the table crowded. I think what I found most annoying was watching our server and another server standing around while we were waiting for drinks, for order taking, for refills, etc. There was just no attention being paid to us. Maybe the guy was new? Not sure. The restaurant wasn't very busy so that wasn't the excuse. I've heard it's difficult to get good help in the Keys. Cost a lot to live here. Most commute from Homestead. Anyway- good for the food - don't expect great service. Ironically I did over tip. I was a server in college so I try to be generous.

It wasn't the best meal we've ever had, but it was definitely the best food we had during our trip. Our favorites were the conch fritters, which were delicious, and the Angus cheeseburger, which was honestly the best thing we ordered. The mussels were also excellent and full of flavor. The shrimp ceviche was decent, but it could have used a little more seasoning, citrus, or zest. It felt a bit dry and didn't have the bright, fresh flavor I was expecting. The seafood platter was the biggest disappointment, especially considering the price. The mahi was under seasoned, and the texture wasn't enjoyable. The crab cakes had a fishy taste, and while the scallops were just okay, the shrimp was actually very good. The sweet potato side was delicious, but overall the platter didn't feel like a good value for what was served. Overall, despite a few misses, this was still the best dining experience we had in the Keys. The service was good, and there were enough standout dishes that we'd come back. I'd recommend sticking with the conch fritters, mussels, Angus cheeseburger, and shrimp.

Delicious food, great ambiance, and an amazing view!…read more We ordered the coconut shrimp as an appetizer and the fish sandwich for lunch, and everything definitely hit the spot. The food came out quickly and was delicious. I'm giving 4 stars because the service was a little slow. It took a while for our server to greet us, and they didn't bring clean plates after we finished our appetizer. We also asked for our sandwiches to be cut in half, but ended up having to do it ourselves. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and the beautiful atmosphere. With a little more attention to service, this would easily be a 5-star experience!

Heard from others how good the spiny lobster is(although very pricey). Service was great and the area is beautiful.

Tacos were a huge disappointment! Trying to find the fish was almost impossible, tiny pieces! The shrimp was bay size baby shrimp that couldn't be tasted through all the other stuff.
