Best Lunch Restaurants in Islamorada

Atlantic’s Edge is an interesting place for dinner. It’s located in Cheeca Lodge which is a gated resort. So in order to enter you need to show proof of your dinner reservation, and apparently you need to arrive around the time of your reservation. So it’s a bit off putting in terms of feeling welcome or appreciated. Similar experience at the host stand. The greeting was lukewarm at best. As to the food and service, overall the food was good. The dishes were nicely prepared and seemed very much as described. But I wouldn’t say that any of the food was delicious or extraordinary. One of the dishes we tried was the blackened grouper. It lacked any seasoning and certainly didn’t show the char typically associated with “blackened” style of cooking. Food temps were also a bit off. Items were warm or room temp. So no cool crisp salads or hot entrees. This was our second trip to Atlantic’s Edge and I’m not sure we will repeat.

Our server was very helpful. Beautiful sunset. Food was really tasty and better than I expected.

Thanks, Carlo, for the amazing experience, we will be 100% back, best food in all Florida Keys!

When we're in the Keys, we love coming here with our dog. Great food and servers! Thank you Nicholas B. For a great Christmas meal!

We had both breakfast and lunch and the food was terrific.
