Chef Michael's - ISLAMORADA

Haha, sometimes I feel like I’m surrounded by a family of critics, but not here! From the appetizers to the dessert, the food was incredible.

They advertise Lionfish but don 't serve it. It feels extremely misleading, and disappointing- especially because you are subject to a 100$ penalty if you cancel a reservation. The service was okay but mostly indifferent. The restaurant responded to my review- as if they didn 't advertise heavily that this was an offering and available for purchase. I understand they will serve what 's avaliable, but it feels like they just want to position it as a fluke/misinterpretation of availability when it 's literally a misrepresentation of what they offer.

Came here for my birthday/ cook your catch lobster (it was mini season) dinner. We sat at the bar and they pushed us into a small corner of the bar even though no one else sat at the bar the whole time we were there. The food was excellent, the service was ok as far as attentiveness and timeliness. However the bartender was unpleasant and had a very negative attitude. She was very short when we asked her about different preparations or desserts. She really put a damper on our evening with her surliness and poor attitude. I would not dine at the bar again.

Just a special spot in Islamorada for dinner. The fish offerings all hit the button on high end quality. The Wahoo and Hogfish were perfect!

We wanted to eat at the restaurant but it was fully booked. We decided to order for take out. The meal was amazing and the carrot cake was the best carrot cake ever! We will make timely reservations next time we are in the area. Frank Fernandez and Teresita
