    We had a great table outside. The weather was perfect, the wine was cold, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding! A perfect night in paradise.

    Fantastic dinner with a great staff. The meal was perfect. The dessert, key lime pie was out of this world. Would come back for the pie. In fact, might tonight.

    We dined outside on the patio and the atmosphere and music was perfect. It is probably one of the pricier restaurants in the area but we felt it was worth it. It was our favorite meal while in Marathon. The crab cakes and risotto with scallops was perfect. We had good service and thoroughly enjoyed our experience there.

    Food was amazing. Good service. You need a reservation. A lot of families with babies and toddlers but that’s to be expected in a resort restaurant. The staff was good about seating us, as a couple, away from big parties. Best meal of our trip!
