Overview

A Marathon mainstay right on the Overseas Highway, this is your surf‑and‑turf crowd‑pleaser: steaks, lobster, and a surprisingly deep sushi list in a casual‑meets‑fine‑dining room. Portions are generous, service is dialed‑in, and it’s a reliable choice when you want a sit‑down meal that still feels celebratory.

What to Order

  • Seafood standouts: lobster Thermidor, crab‑stuffed jumbo shrimp, mussels to share, and rotating fresh‑catch plates.
  • From the grill: prime rib, cowboy ribeye, porterhouse, and a well‑liked rack of lamb.
  • Sushi is on the menu; opinions vary, but the tuna and specialty rolls get frequent shout‑outs.
  • Save room: desserts like bananas foster and key lime pie are popular.

Unique Touches

  • Stonegrill dining sears proteins at high heat without added oils—fun, interactive, and on the lighter side.
  • Anglers’ perk: bring your own catch and the kitchen will cook it for a fee. Call ahead for prep options and pricing.

Ambience & Seating

Expect a lively room at peak dinner hours; earlier seatings feel calmer. It’s indoor dining only with booths, a bar, and a classic Keys steak‑house vibe. If you prefer low‑key conversation, request a front booth; if you like energy, grab a bar seat and watch the team work.

Happy Hour & Value

Happy Hour runs daily from 11:30 am to 6:00 pm with discounted drinks and appetizers. Guests also mention an Early Bird deal in the late afternoon—worth asking about on the day you go.

Logistics

Reservations are strongly recommended for evenings, weekends, and holidays. Parking details aren’t clearly listed online, so build in a few extra minutes on arrival. Dress runs business‑casual but the overall feel is relaxed and Keys‑casual.

Best Time to Visit

For the smoothest experience, go at lunch or aim for an early dinner window (roughly 3:30–5:30 pm) when crowds and noise are lower and Happy Hour is still on. Friday and Saturday evenings are the busiest; if that’s your plan, book ahead and expect a lively scene.

Pros

  • Daily happy hour with discounted drinks and apps
  • Cook‑your‑catch option for anglers

Cons

  • Books up in the evenings—reserve ahead
  • Indoor‑only; no outdoor seating

Tips

  • Reserve for evenings and holidays; this place fills up fast.
  • Hit Happy Hour 11:30 am–6:00 pm for discounted drinks and apps.
  • Request a front booth for a quieter meal; pick the bar for a livelier vibe.
  • Bringing your own catch? Call ahead to confirm prep options and fee.
  • Portions are large—consider splitting starters or a steak and seafood combo.
