I've lived in the Florida Keys for nearly 2 years now and I'm sad we've waited so long to try this place. My husband surprised me with a romantic date night and brought me here. We arrived a little bit early and walked out to the beautiful beach area to take in the sights. We received a text message 15 minutes before our reservation letting us know our table was ready and we went inside. We were greeted immediately by 2 friendly hosts and they asked if we wanted to sit inside or out on the either of the two floors. We opted like many, to sit outside on the second floor and the view was breathtaking. The sound of Sinatra music playing quietly over the house speakers was a very nice touch. Our server told us about all the amazing specials including a variety of oysters from different regions. She was very knowledgeable and also had some great recommendations. We started with the imported Spanish cured Ham with blue cheese, watercress and melon. It paired deliciously with our wine. For our main course, we shared the Sea Bass which was accompanied with oxtail, yucca cake, and a key lime sauce. I'd never seen such a pairing and we were very eager to try it. We both absolute enjoyed each bite. Probably one of the best meals we've had here in all of the keys. Instead of dessert, we both enjoyed espresso with raw sugar cubes on the side. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a higher end experience with an outstanding 5 star menu. read more

Decided to give this place another chance after being very disappointed from my favorite place. I'm so very happy I did it changed back to a great place. I believe it has to do with the new manager Rose. Everything was just perfection one small point that they use to have was a variety of fresh breads like onion rolls etc, I miss those. Great job Rose read more

Update- we went back a couple days later for the rib cap and brought 2 more couple with us. I'm not sure what happened but they were completely different steaks than we had a couple days before and they were all over cooked. It was disappointing and actually embarrassing since I talked up the rib cap so much. At this point I'm not sure I would go back based on the inconsistency of the food. read more

Food was just ok. Service just ok. Ambiance was pretentious. Priced ridiculously expensive for what you experience. We only eat here because everywhere else we really wanted to dine had an hour plus wait. Don't comprise. It was definitely not worth it. read more

We had a Friday night dinner at the bar downstairs and lack of the sunset view didn't bother us at all because the food and the service were excellent! Everything we had tasted great, from Rose and oysters to duck and scallops. Scallop pasta came with goat cheese sprinkled with Russian red caviar adding a unique twist to familiar flavor. I especially enjoyed pistachio gelato made in house. I can say with confidence it's the best gelato I've ever tried. I highly recommend this place. The architecture and interior alone are worth seeing. it's a hidden gem worth the try when visiting Florida Keys. read more

Amazing fine dining in the keys! We have celebrated a birthday and it was a success! Reservations are strongly recommended! We arrived early and went to the downstairs bar and outside to watch the sunset! Hostess went out and found us to let us know that our table is ready! Outside balcony was packed! Food was delicious and made to our requests! Service was attentive and respectful! Sam, the manager visited with us and we ended up reserving a table for our anniversary! read more

Cannot wait to get back to Pierre's for dinner. My husband and I enjoyed a last minute dinner here based on a recommendation from a friend. His lamb was one of the best he's ever had! The black cod preparation was unique and tasty! There's a decent wine selection. The ambiance is very special. It has the charm of a 100+ year old building but it's only about 25 years old. Our server found the perfect balance between allowing us to enjoy our evening and being there if we needed her. I feel horrible for forgetting her name but she did seasons work in Alaska. Nice young person! read more

My wife and I stopped in at Pierre's so we could use the EV charger. The bar downstairs was nice and the drinks were good. The best part was definitely the sunset view. We then went upstairs for dinner. We ordered a bottle of wine, multiple appetizers and entree and desert. The apps were tasty. The steak was okay, nothing exceptional...especially for the price. Desert was also okay, but I'd say I've had better crème brûlée. I like it to be creamy, however it was firm, kind of like a flan. Finally, the staff were very friendly. We'd go back, but likely for drinks and EV charging. The food was good but not really worth the price. read more

This place was amazing. If you are looking for a NICE restaurant that makes everything from scratch with an amazing view this is the place. I almost didn't come but so glad we did. Hey knew when they brought fresh hot bread with designed butter with fresh garlic that this place was all about the details. I got the rack of lamb and my wife got the great local fish blackened. Each waiter had two or three tables so the service was great as well. It was nice to come to a restaurant that served you with great food and service. And the sunset was amazing. read more

Went in to get a drink and watch the sunset. The bartenders didn't have a clue what was going on. 45 minutes in line with one couple in front of us at the bar and we got overpriced drinks and missed the sunset. Location is amazing but the service was TERRIBLE! We will never go again! read more

Had dinner on the outside deck and watched the phenomenal sunset. Service from Jara was superb and unrushed. Definitely warm outside (early October but quite muggy) but still better than sitting inside which was kind of blah. Drinks were good - I had the sailor old fashioned (basically an OF with rum added) and wifey had blossom martini (vodka, elderflower liqueur and white cranberry). We ordered the seafood tower which was great - whole split lobster tail, tuna tartare, 8-10 oysters and six jumbo shrimp. $90 but worth the splurge. We followed that with the burrata which was fantastic although a few more tomatoes would've been nice. Then for mains we had the truffle mushroom gnocchi, but added seared scallops ($28 up charge). Fantastic. Also had the scallops with linguine which was actually spaghetti but still pretty good. 6/10 on that one. Complimentary crème brûlée was just ok, but that could have been due to both of us being stuffed at that point. Overall quite good, maybe not our favorite but a strong 4 stars here. read more

Everyone rating this less than 5 stars is either acoustic, slow in the head, or both. Service was outstanding. Food was delicious. Every dish was expertly crafted and presented. Flavors balanced each other masterfully. I even took a chance on a venison saddle special, a very tough cut of meat. Guess what, it was cooked to perfection, tender, and beautiful. We are big foodies, have eaten Michelin star quality food, and this establishment surpasses expectations. We will be back next time we visit! Do not be scared of the lower ratings! read more

Pierre's is quite literally a heavenly place. The beauty of Pierre's is lavish and its location smack on the waters of Florida Bay with its sandy beach and relaxing Adirondack chairs just simply cannot be surpassed. All of that plus the big kicker of an overall laid back and relaxing Keys atmosphere. Then for food its one of if not the best in the Keys with such exciting French inspired dishes as Caribbean Blue Crab Vichyssoise enhanced with fennel, leek and key lime oil. Then also an excellent grilled octopus appetizer and an entrée of grilled rack of lamb done with a demi-glaze of shallot and red wine plus a house made apple/mint jelly. read more

The food was good. Service was not so great..the food came out in a timely manner but the waiter only checked on us once. We were celebrating a birthday and they were kind enough to give us a birthday dessert but never asked I free other people at the table wanted dessert ..never even came back after the meal was served to ask if we wanted a glass of wine or another cocktail. The ambiance is nice but it's overpriced for the experience. read more

Took a chance on a reservation since the ambiance looked promising and they serve my daughter's favorite dish, duck. We made dinner reservations for a Sunday night an hour before sunset. Slightly bummed there wasn't an option to eat outside on the balcony. We did take the opportunity to go downstairs and step outside for a little bit during dinner to enjoy the sunset. I'd rate service 5 stars and food 4 stars. My daughter has a lot of food allergies. I contacted Pierre's before coming and Yessica assured me that they could accommodate her. Our server, Memo, noted that her allergies were noted on our reservation so he was already aware. My daughter enjoyed a modified version of her favorite dish safely. It's not on the menu at all but when we expressed to Memo that our 5 year old son wanted steak, he came back with several kids meal choices including a 4 oz steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. My 5 year old's only critique was that he thought some pieces of the steak were spicy. My husband tasted it and said it was peppery. We opted for the tasting menu and added the caviar. I personally prefer blinis with caviar but it was fun trying the chips and madelines that came with it. I wish the chips were more crisp though. The tasting menu itself was comprised of 6 courses. First course was beef tartare. It was absolutely on point and delicious. Second course was baked oysters, also enjoyable. Third course appeared to be a basic salad with a vinegar based dressing and cheese rosette. It was our least favorite and felt like a weak addition to a tasting menu. Fourth course was lobster with a spicy sauce and black rice. Also a top favorite. At this point, I was already full. There's a significant amount of food in this tasting menu. Fifth course was the duck with duck confit and cheese. Delicious and loved how I could enjoy the same duck my daughter had. Sixth course was dessert. Creme brûlée was the standard but Memo offered to bring another dessert of our choosing. We opted for a key lime pie and creme brûlée. The chef, Manny, brought several of our tasting menu dishes out. We thanked him profusely for the food and chatted a little. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Pierre's. They were kind and considerate to our kids, treating them as little diners and not a nuisance. We weren't banished to some obscure corner of the dining room, which was a surprise since we were the only patrons with kids. My suggestion on polishing up service would be having a more cohesive presentation of every dish served on the tasting menu. Some were served with a great explanation whereas others were just placed in front of us and we had to ask what we were eating. And also get rid of that salad course. Dinner came out to be just over $600 with a child's dish, duck, two tasting menus, caviar addition, four alcoholic drinks, and two juices. read more

This is a great fine dining restaurant in an otherwise casual area. My friends and I went here after drinks and appetizers at Morada Bay and it was perfect. We had a great table on the balcony, everyone was friendly from those that greeted us when we entered and our server, and all of our food was delicious! Th atmosphere is classy but relaxed, and is perfect for celebrating a special occasion or just a date night. read more

$98. Over cooked filet with 3 potato slices. Slow unfriendly service. WAY overpriced. I don't mind paying for good food and good service at all. But.... This was over and beyond ....... Bad! Would not go back for free. All around, bad with an attitude. Other Cheeca restaurants were A+ perfect. Sorry for the bad review but deservedly so. Lorenzo read more

The service was amazing as was the food. Rose is a gem and made my friend's birthday so special. We had the gnocchi and the rib eye and both were outstanding!! The views from our table were gorgeous. We will definitely be back! read more

A member of the staff, John reached out via email to obtain contact info to discuss our concerns. I provided John with my husband's contact info and available times. To date, my husband has yet to receive a call. Highly disappointing as we truly did our due diligence to pick the right spot for our anniversary celebration, weeks prior to arrival in the Keys. read more

We have been here for the past two evenings. Michelle took care of us at the bar for dinner and cocktails. We love the vibe here, as it immediately relaxes you as it should. The service is good, and not intrusive. On a side note, I left my credit card here last evening, so when I discovered the next morning, I called the G.M. of the Cheeca Lodge Paul. He could not have been more responsive, as he immediately personally went over to Pierres and found my card safe and sound. We love the service at Cheeca, and Pierres, and that is why we keep coming back. Thank you Paul, much appreciate your assistance. read more

My wife and I come to Pierre's 1-2 times a year and have never had a bad experience. Last night we celebrated my 52nd birthday. Food and service were fabulous. If you have a chance to go, you must just splurge as you will not regret it. The views and ambiance is amazing! Thankfully the stormy weather held off but it was quite hot with no breeze on the upper balcony during our dinner. The only 2 things I would recommend to help your customers to enjoy their visit is having ceiling fans outside to help with some breeze and not sweat while enjoying their meal and to put step lights when walking down the stairs from the upstairs to downstairs. My mother-in-law almost fell as it was difficult to see each step. Other than that it is always a wonder experience. Thank you for a great birthday experience. read more

My past review was 8 years ago and prehurricane. I have returned to Pierres twice in the past two years. I had a completely different experience. The staff was very very good. The food was absolutely delightful. I spent $600 on wine alone and the another $500 on food. Here are some pictures to show my appreciation. Thank you Pierres for the change in service and attitude. Im glad I came back and COVID kept me in the US Im always happy to change my opinion if the change is for the better. Thanks Pierres read more

Absolutely fantastic restaurant with wonderful ambience, magnificent food, and wine. We have eaten here twice during our stay here in Islamorada. We were waited on by a wonderful waiter named JD who was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and welcoming. The scallops, The steak tartare, oysters and the seafood tower are absolutely to die for!! We received an amuse Bouche of duck confit that was divine! I highly recommend this restaurant!! read more

Amazing dinner and our server Gabrielle was amazing. Went there with my family and our 8 month old. Our server Gabrielle brought my baby mashed potatoes and carrots after asking if it was okay. She was so kind. The ribeye, pork chops, scallops, and grouper were all amazing and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was great. The only complaint I could have is that they don't have a changing table in the bathroom upstairs. But everything else was amazing. read more

I have no idea why anyone would give this place less than a 5 star rating. The food was amazing and beautifully presented. The staff was attentive and vey pleasant. The seating on the deck was lovely and intimate. The house was intricate and charming. read more

Great bar. Beautiful view of the sunset while listening to music. Fun vibe. Good selection of beer.

Where to begin..... first of all, don't worry about looking nice or respecting the casual elegant dress code that's listed on the website because people literally were in shorts, T-shirts, baseball caps carrying backpacks on back, etc. At 530 it was way too bright to sit outside so .... We sat inside, staring at an orange wall in between two French doors where we missed a view of the water and of the sunset ....but...no..... That was the only table available. Had to eat at 5:30 Because they didn't have anything available in between 530 and 730 even though the entire restaurant was empty while we were dining..... but that's besides the point our server couldn't answer one question about the exorbitantly overpriced wines. ironically the $120 bottle of Chardonnay we had the night before directly across the street at Chef Michaels (excellent) was 240.00 literally same vintage . that was an eye-opener and should've been a clue as to what was in store. I could go on and on but I'm done ....why relive the experience overall, extremely overpriced, not worth the hype totally different from years ago when Pierre's was the big hot ticket in islamorada. what a monumental waste of time and money. BTW, food was mediocre. the complementary dessert offered by a nice gentleman did not compensate for all of the above. first time ever writing a review but wow ........... read more

(!!!) SHELLFISH CONTAMINATION SENT MY WIFE TO THE ER; Morada Bay management uninterested My wife and I dined at Morada Bay's restaurant, Pierre's, where my wife informed the server that she had an "extreme shellfish allergy" before ordering. She ordered a safe dish and received assurances that there wouldn't be any issues with cross-contamination in the kitchen. A few hours later we found ourselves in the ER, with my wife suffering a dangerous shellfish reaction that included anaphylaxis and 6 hours of cyclical/violent vomiting. Adding insult to injury (literally), Morada Bay management appears uninterested in answering my emails regarding the issue. read more

We had a delightful experience at Pierre's last night. Cocktails were excellent. My husband had sautéed foie gras which he said was delicious. My salad was perfectly fresh butter lettuce and a delicious combination of hearts of palm, orange and pistachio. The special was striped sea bass and I had black grouper over cassoulet-- all were prepared and presented beautifully. Our server was attentive and the wine was excellent as well. It's easy to recommend such a top notch experience. I was too busy to take food photos but wandered to get a few of the restaurants interesting decor. We were too late for sunset but I'm sure it's fabulous here as well. read more

We always love coming here for a drink and watch the incredible sunset. The bar vibe is elite as well as the service.

The food was just mediocre - our server was wonderful (Trish) and did her best but the lighting was WAY too bright and ruined the sunset We asked for it to be dimmed and they did for a few minutes which got a round of applause from the other diners until Another table Complained and they turned it back up. All in all- not worth the money or time. Beautiful location and could have been terrific but it just wasn't read more

Overall ok, lamb chop at $70 were way overdone and had very little and fatty meat, not a good cut at all. Manager was nice bought to take off but if you are going to spent this $ it doesn't matter, you leave hungry. Ribeye was also overdone and escargot was not shell in and not my favorite. Overall staff was friendly, nice location but by no means a great experience, restaurant next door seems like a better bet. read more

We decided to try Pierre's on a recent trip to the Keys. It did not disappoint. The ambiance was classic. It is a place you could imagine Hemingway stopping on a trip to the Keys.

I want to be clear before i start this review as I am only going to rate the food, which in my honest opinion, didnt stand up to the high standards and prices the restaurant has been know for the last 25 years I've dined here. I hope they see this feedback and feel how the customers are unhappy with the high prices and lousy food and portions. i have barely left any reviews in my entire life but tonight is worthy of heavy criticism for a once amazing restaurant. read more

Went to Pierre's for a celebratory dinner with my wife and our parents on Tuesday night. The prices are high, but I left quite happy with my meal. Quality: Pierre's offers an upscale dining option, while still keeping a Florida Keys flair to it. We had a really remarkable Beef Tartare, which was served out of bone marrow, a unique and delicious combination. I wasn't crazy about the Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras or the Charred Sous Vide Spanish Octopus, both seemed to be trying too much, but they still were devoured. The Local Catch Du Jour, which was Black Grouper, was simple and excellent. The Key Lime Pie was their own style and I loved the proportions of it. Quantity: Small portions with beautiful presentation. Value: $24 for the Beef Tartare. $28 for the Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras. $24 for the Charred Sous Vide Spanish Octopus. $44 for the Local Catch Du Jour. $12 for the Key Lime Pie. Ambiance: Pierre's is a lovely classical high-end restaurant in Islamorada. Located in a two-story colonial building right off the beach, it is a gorgeous space for a fancy meal. The downstairs dining area seemed set up for large events, while upstairs had a small bar and plenty of smaller tables. We sat outside on the upper porch, which was a bit warm, but provided a nice view. It is traditional upscale dining, much different than other spots in the Keys. Crowd: Quiet on Tuesday evening, but a good space for large events. Service: Our server was absolutely fantastic. Parking: Large private parking area. read more

Downstairs bar and bartender were great. Upstairs not so great. An expensive evening for subpar food. $51 piece of grouper on a bed of beans and ham slop. Smelled as bad as it looked. Scallops were over done and small in size for price. Our Waiter told us special was sold out but it was served to other guests way after we sat down. Not the same restaurant it was 3 months ago. Don't waste your time or your hard earned money. read more
