I could not recommend this restaurant any more. The service was EXCEPTIONAL, our server Ronald was amazing. He knew every item on the menu in detail and recommended some amazing dishes. Although, judging by the plates and reactions around me, it seems all dishes are amazing. The vibes are immaculate, drinks are delicious, lighting and decor is so cute. Will definitely be back !! read more

Square Grouper - Islamorada - Caesar salad & tripled yellowtail - Seafood Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

We were promised a drink while waiting.. but ordered a diet cola and told the cocktail server would get back on the other. Server never came back with the cola or to take the other drink order... Finally, we watched someone walk in off the street, and sit at the bar despite a closed waiting list and our long wait. They fixed that, we were sat, Then we were ignored for 25 minutes at the bar. No opologies, no manager to table touch. Appitizer was quick, food took forever...Bad form! Food is good. Service is poor. Sad shame. read more

Tried to eat here several times in the past. The restaurant is in the middle of a Marina about 25 miles north of where we live and seems we always tried on Tuesday when they are closed. Anyway, got there and it was full but they got us a great table outside overlooking water. Very professionally organized and run. The staff works together. Menu was great, food was quick and most importantly, excellent. We both had the Fish of the Day sandwich, fries/slaw, and fried yellowtail snapper. Excellent and beautiful presentation. Oh yes , we'll be back. All in all, this was one of the best dining experiences we have had, short of a couple of upscale places in KW. Adrianna was our server. Perfect. read more

Food was OK in general. The deep fried portobello mushrooms were a huge hit! Disappointed in the BLT though. Only one choice of bread (white- wanted wheat) and seemed like only 2 slices of bacon. Thin slices. Service was awesome! (Our server was Sam). read more

We ate in the third floor bar. They had Stone Crab claws which is what we wanted. The food menu is small plates. We had the delicious potato dish and my all time favorite; Carpaccio. The stone crab claws are pricey but delicious. The wine list is adequate. The service was very good and quick. It was a nice all adult atmosphere. Children are accommodated downstairs but in the 3rd floor bar it is 21 and over only. read more

The House Burger was huge and tastes pretty good and comes with these steak n steak small cut fries that were really good. The brownie dessert with the ice cream on top was so good. read more

This is the $30 shrimp "platter." Granted, it normally comes with fries and Coleslaw, but I opted for a double order of coleslaw, which still didn't seem like much. Ten shrimp. Almost a cup of Cole slaw. Quarter cup of meh tarter sauce. A lemon wedge. Is this your definition of a "platter"? For the price, the square grouper should be both ashamed and embarrassed. read more

Square Grouper has become our families favorite spot in Islamorada. We recently purchased a condo here and we bring all our friends and family who visit. The service is super friendly, professional,and the food is always delicious.. Some of our favorites are the flash fried conch starter Seafood stew and just about any of the fish special crusted in something yummy! We love all the bread puddings especially with their salted carmel ice cream. Last but not least my all time favorite drink the spicy peach martini! You won't be disappointed! read more

I cannot believe I have finally found a true gem and 5 star worthy restaurant in Islamorada!!!! This restaurant truly exceeded my expectations. Our server was very knowledgeable about each dish on the menu. Both server and chef did not mind making alterations to please my wishes. Had yellowtail breaded and dressed with coconut curry sauce over jasmine rice - absolutely delish!!!! The oyster Rockefeller, coconut shrimp, fish dip and lobster ravioli were all absolutely delicious appetizers. The rib eye was cooked to perfection and at the right temperature requested, mashed potatoes truly taste homemade. I truly recommend! read more

Food very good, we come all the time but there was an incident that was very unprofessional one of the drink spilled on the table due to the big menus and instead of replace it they made a big deal and we have to pay for a new one It was not about the money it was about the courtesy of replace drink This is about to teach your manager to be able to keep your clients happy and not to loose them specially when they are frequent customers read more

My favorite restaurant in the Keys!! Every dish is delicious, always cooked and seasoned to perfection. Service is consistently on point; they are very attentive. Nice view, a lot of parking. Decor is very upscale and sets it apart from other Keys establishments. Been here for brunch and dinner and both are amazing. Wait times may be long, but always worth it. Fish is always very fresh. I already can't wait for my next visit! read more

Great way to open up. Prompt service delicious food and an unbelievable view !!! Can't wait to return. Only complaint is parking. May need a valet in the future read more

This place is amazing, hard to get in due to alot of days and hours it is closed but it is worth it. The food was excellent, so many great drinks to choose from, very large inside and out and very cool looking bar. I had the ahi tuna and 3 different drinks and all were great. Our bartender Ashlie O was so fun and great to chat with. She made us drink water because it was boiling hot outside, we never had to wait for service or refills. read more

Wow, just Wow! We've been meaning to eat here for years. This month when we went we were so happy we made it. I think we tried about 5 different things on the menu and each was just amazing. We had the conch steamed buns and they were delish!! The bread pudding for dessert was incredible! I wish I remembered our bartender's name (in one of our pics), he was so nice and gave us great service. read more

Square Grouper - Islamorada - Yellow tail snapper - Seafood Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

Without a doubt our best meal on our trip to the Keys. While waiting for our table we went upstairs to their attached lounge, the Sunset Lounge which was perfect. As far as our meals, I got panko crusted yellowtail and my wife got blackened shrimp over pasta. For desert we ordered brownie bread pudding. Everything was so good that before we realized we didn't take any pictures it was gone. I'm not sure when we'll be back in the Keys but when we are, we'll be back at the Square Grouper. read more

As always Square Grouper never disappoints. Had lunch there today. My wife and I enjoyed the fresh fried yellow tail snapper. Amazing!! The fish was fresh caught this morning. We also shared a fried shrimp platter that was tasty as well. The coleslaw is a delicious blend of cabbage and kale.The meal started with Buffalo shrimp appetizer. Tender shrimp in spicy, yet mild wing sauce. The blue cheese was housemade, thick and chucky. Give me a spoon to finish it!!! Don't miss this keys gem. read more

I had no expectations going in, we stopped for late lunch/early dinner on our way down to Marathon. It's located in a marina. Nice atmosphere, there were people dressed up and those that looked like they got off a boat. Bread was a nice surprise. It was a mix of pretzel bread, multigrain and multigrain with cranberries. All were good. Started with an order of edamame since it's one of the few green things my kids will eat. The sesame oil was a nice flavor addition. They do have a kids menu and one child had grilled cheese with shoe string fries. Fries are from scratch and addicting. She was also thrilled to get a Shirley Temple. My other child had Seafood Stew with Sautéed Fish, Scallops, Shrimp & Calamari in a Sweet & Spicy Tomato broth. Our waitress was so nice to bring a sample of the broth, we did not find it spicy. The small order was pretty filling with large chunks of fish. My husband had the Classic Grouper Piccata served with Key Lime Butter Sauce, Fried Capers. He was blown away, huge filet butterflied and breaded. The fried capers were a nice twist also. I had the quinoa salad with seared scallops but you can pick different proteins. Scallops were perfectly cooked and I enjoyed the lemon vinaigrette the salad comes with. It is large and I did my best but couldn't finish. Lastly, the bread pudding is legit. This version had apples in it and served with bourbon sauce, vanilla ice cream and fresh whipped cream. read more

Amazing staff! Everyone is very friendly with excellent customer service. Food is top notch!

This restaurant was a recommendation from a local, with good reason. The view is beautiful, food and drinks very good. We arrived about 15 minutes before sunset to the 3rd floor for 21 and over. The sunsets over the mangroves and was spectacular. The bartender, James recommend the ceviche. Ceviche is one of my husband's favorites. We both thought this was the BEST we have ever had. It was fresh and full of flavor. We did have to ask for more plantain chips. Thanks for the recommendation James. We went down to the restaurant on the 1st floor. There was about a 30 minute wait, but there are rocking chairs outside to make the wait quite pleasant. They called your phone when your table was ready. We had the flash fried conch. It was flat and cut into strips. The sauce was again very flavorful. The appetizers were the stars!! Would definitely recommend. read more

Went right at 5 PM and there was a line for the top portion. Indoors on the lower level its typical bar and family style seating. Food wise not worth the price charged - bill was 120 without alcohol for two people and no appetizer or dessert. Hard to have good conversation in that type of seating so go outdoors on patio. Food was average and not super flavorful (had the Wahoo special and green beans were hard) or exceptional. Staff was fine and no issues there. Not the place for private or romantic dinner for the price point at least. read more

The best food and ambiance!! You must try the Grouper Chicharon!! The drinks are amazing. The worst part was the bill!! The Oysters are amazing and you must try the empanadas!! read more

This was a great restaurant - food, drinks and wine. Everyone in our group of 6 was happy.

Very busy over hyped local fish joint situated in a marina. Blackened Wahoo was far from blackened and over cooked...$50. Grouper was dry and tasteless...another $50. Drinks were crap. Service was very good though. Fast and knowledgeable server. Ambiance was boater chic. Best thing was watching the Pelicans catch fish. read more
