"Bel Mare means 'beautiful ocean' in Italian. We specialize in coastal Italian food served with an emphasis on traditional fine dining. Not only does our food come from that beautiful ocean, but our dining room overlooks it. The gorgeous yachts docked in the foreground of the A&B Marina make for stunning views and sunsets over that beautiful ocean!"

    Service was excellent. I’m a shrimp connoisseur, no high end seafood restaurant in the keys should be serving farmed shrimp. I was extremely disappointed by the rubbery (100% farmed) shrimp that came out of the kitchen. For the price they absolutely need to be serving key west pinks, or literally any other wild shrimp.

    Spending a premium price without a premium experience. Staff was great. Food was served lukewarm. Not worth the price per entree or the credit card service charge at the end.
