    Stone crab claws
    LB B.

    We were here in April and very much enjoyed the third floor. Next time we will try the first despite all the warning signs access after 6 was not an issue when we were there. Service was excellent! Everyone worked hard to make sure you had everything you needed. Old Fashions were very good. Stone crab claws are enormous and nicely done. Conche chowder was very tasty and pretzel was amazing.

    Square Grouper in Islamorada is our family's favorite restaurant. We make the drive from Miami once a month for it. The fish is always fresh and delicious. If you're visiting me in Miami, I'm taking you here plus the staff is always amazing!

    It's a cool place to eat at since you're in the marina. Other than that, it's a tourist trap in my opinion. They are super busy so service was not great. Of the three things we ate, the only one I could recommend is the appetizer which was the flash fried conch, get extra wasabi and order it at the same time. We waited 10 mins for the server to bring us a side of it. I ordered the lobster tacos and 90% of it was filler with scraps of lobster. Don't waste your money. I did love the sweet potato fries. Been there, done that, wouldn't go back.

    Panko encrusted tripletail.

    Delicious food, nice ambience and good service. Had the special lunch panko coated tripletail with rice and a salad with their honey mustard dressing which was light and very good. Tripletail is a white mild fish. Glad I went with that! I will be back.

    Tuna Tartare

    We were told to try Square Grouper from a truly knowledgeable source, who also helped us understand what a square grouper is. Who knew? At any rate, we headed to the Sunset Lounge that opens @ 4:20.We had seats at the bar and were frankly blown away by James, the bartender, the service, the food, it was all amazing. We started with the smoked fish dip - so good - the only thing is I wish the crackers were a bit more substantial. The dip was perfect with dry vodka martinis. I had a wedge salad with lardons and fresh shrimp. Yummy! Wayne had tuna tartare - and there wasn't any of it left. We toasted it all down with a lovely rose' and ended a perfect evening with picking up some awesome merch. Sorry we didn't know about it sooner, but a great place for great food, good service and more.

    One of the best spots for brunch, lunch, or dinner--Square truly has it all. The ambiance is excellent, the food never disappoints, and the service is consistently great whether you're seated at a table or at the bar. I do have my favorite people there, though! Emily is hands down the best bartender for brunch, and Chris is my go-to bartender for dinner--both in the main dining room. They always make the experience even better. The place is usually packed, which says a lot about its consistency in both food and service. Honestly, I don't think I've ever heard anyone complain about this place. It's just that good.

    Almond crusted Grouper

    Absolutely insane. Food is out of this world, we had Grouper in a variety of ways, Tilefish, Seafood Stew, Yellowtail egg rolls and coconut shrimp. The location is great with an awesome view from the second deck.

    My favorite restaurant. Service is impeccable, bar is second to none food is outstanding and consistent every time. This is a destination in the Keys. Landed in Miami, drove 90 miles in traffic to Islamorada and went straight to the Square Grouper. Only way to start a trip. Food is amazing, drinks are expertly prepared and served. Dessert is splendid. The service is friendly and casual. Can't go wrong at this well run establishment. Place is always buzzing with energy and the Sunset Lounge upstairs is a great companion.

    Diver scallops over sweet potato and pork belly hash
    Majel S.

    Amazing dinner- fresh fish, innovatively prepared; such a nice break from the traditional fried fare you find everywhere. I had scallops served over a bed of sweet potato and pork belly hash. OMG delicious. Five stars.

    This was our third time here but first time for dinner and it did not disappoint. Every staff member we came in contact with was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We chose to sit inside but we could see the beautiful dock and ocean through the large windows. We began with the house salad and conch chowder, both good. The fresh fish dishes were absolutely delicious as you can see from the pictures. Definitely recommend this place. They don't take reservations so come early

    Do they take reservations?

    Nope. First come first serve. Line out the door at least 30 minutes before they open for dinner.

    Can we bring fresh caught fish and they will prepare it?

    I don't think so ,, but if you go get the square grouper sandwich
