   Another wonderful evening at the Beach Café and bar! We had our favorite waiter PJ wait on us.  We had the mahi tacos, the Corvina fish special, hamburger, mac & cheese, and chicken nuggets. Everything was delicious! They have some of the best chicken wings we've had down here in the Keys very meaty.

   Unfortunately this restaurant did not measure up. It’s a lot of fuss for poor food quality at a high price tag. The service was terrible! We were seated and given waters which our teens drank, but I had to ask 30 minutes later when there was no sign of our waiter and our orders had not been taken if we could have more water. The staff acted annoyed at my request. My husband and I ordered the watermelon salad. I asked for added shrimp but no onion. They brought salads out, but no shrimp on mine and no onion on his. It took another 15-20 minutes to receive them. The salad has about three arugula leaves and a sprinkle of goat cheese. So you are paying $18 for cubed watermelon that was not even sweet and fresh. Total drag!

   This place looked good from the reviews, but that was terribly misleading. Got there, and the trash dumpsters are out by the cars and smelled horrible. The hostess took her time very slowly getting to people. The waiter barely came, and took forever. Food was ok, but definitely not worth the time. Go somewhere else

   Great location on a very nice weather evening. Arrive before the crowd, which became a very good thing as it appeared. The restaurant was understaffed food was average.

   The atmosphere here is unbeatable. We have been coming back for years. It is a slice of heaven. However, the food has gone very downhill over the last several years. I believe most things are premade. The last couple of years they have been out of a lot of things. This year we must have named 3 or 4 things that they said they were out of. When we asked for a dessert menu they basically laughed and said “all we have is a brownie.” The brownie, which we have had before, seems like a packaged brownie. I don’t understand how difficult it is for a restaurant to purchase some vanilla ice cream or, in the keys, a key lime pie and some whipped cream, just to avoid that embarrassing situation. Also please be aware that for parties of 6 or more gratuity is included even though the bottom of the receipt says “gratuity not included.” We continue to return, only for the atmosphere. However, they know this, so they make no attempt at keeping up the quality or consistency of their food.

    Beyond upsetting and frustrating!. Had reservation and hostess refused to accept it and moved it back . I've never seen it in my life. Empty tables all over the place. 2 people were amazing. One was the bartender as she was so nice. The other was a woman who was running around helping everywhere. She was great and made up for the incompetent waiter. Been coming here for 10 years and.... you need a new hostess and someone to manage the place during dinner. Either that, or empower the nice girl with the authority to get things right.
