"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!"

    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.

    The homemade ravioli was hard and crusty. I sent it back and the second serving was edible but not good. When the bill came I asked the server to take it off the bill along with a charge for using a credit card. She never apologized but said she would take it up with her manager. Ultimately the bill was adjusted but the experience was poor for any place but particularly for a restaurant that holds itself out as a higher end restaurant and is priced accordingly.

    Our server Nikola was excellent! The food was outstanding down to every detail. I would definitely recommend Bel Mare for a delicious dinner, spirits and dessert. Everything we had was fresh, tasteful and presentation was very enjoyable.

    Beautiful views overlooking the marina since we opted to sit outdoors and enjoy the beautiful fall weather in the Keys. Our server made some great suggestions regarding apps that did not disappoint. The heirloom tomato and goat cheese starter was fantastic as well as the cream of mushroom soup with truffles. For dinner we opted to try the ravioli special, which was butternut squash and the pork osso buco. The raviolis were a nice blend of fall flavors and pork osso buco never disappoints and once again it was fantastic. All of this paired with a great Brunello made for a great date night.

    We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our recent dinner at Bel Mare, from the service to the drinks, appetizers, entrees and dessert. We had the Cream of Mushroom Soup, Tomato Caprese salad (best ever), The Chef's special Black Grouper Piccata, Veal Bolognese and the Chocolate Temptation for dessert.
