    Best cocktails I've had in the Keys after living here for years and visiting for my whole life. Foods good too, but the atmosphere/decor and cocktails are really the selling point. Smokey Manhattan was probably my favorite cocktail, but all of the ones I tried were delicious. The cauliflower au gratin appetizer was amazing, soooo good. Communal salad was really nice too.

    Ok, I waited until my second visit to give my opinion. I have not much else to say other than THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST FOOD IN THE REGION. PERIOD. The best beer selection you could ever ask for an a super friendly and knowledgeable staff. My New Joint is MY NEW JOINT!!! And the prices are not what you'd think. Check this place out!

    i have been playing music here for the last 6 or 7 years and I look forward to coming down each month for a plethora of reasons. 1) the staff & customer service everyone that works here is attentive, polite, and engaging. everyone is knowledgeable on the menu and drinks. 2) the food amazing food and quality is top notch. VERY consistent 3) environment i love the decor and i am always in shock of the cleanliness. the kitchen and front of house are impeccably clean as well as the restrooms. i recommend this spot to everyone driving down through cudjoe and all of the locals are wonderful, appreciative, and supportive of the music

    Great place. I prefer over Square Grouper on theain level due to typically no wait, and yet decent food although less variety than the Square. Nice appetizers, drinks, and limited main courses, but everything is quality a delicious. Never been disappointed. Great deserts, I recommend the Magic Bar. The cheese flight was generous compared to most. Always cheerful atmosphere and service.

    The square grouper is our favorite restaurant in the Florida Keys. The clean, modern, nautical theme is unmatched. The food and service is top notch. Downstairs is the more traditional dining area and upstairs is also a dining area but with also a large bar to sit at and live music.

    We really enjoyed ourselves, the food, drinks and music, fantastic! The plates and small but sharable and service was perfect. Get the Voodoo shrimp, so good we got a secend one. And the draft selection is awesome, something for everyone not just IPA lovers.

    Tonight, we were greeted by Ian. A long-time bartender. He hasn't seen us since last season. He remembers our name and drinks. He is fantastic and always makes us feel right at home. Nice to see him again! We started our meal with Blue Point Oysters! Fantastic! Hubby had the Wahoo and Tater Tots. It was on Catch if the day special! He said it was delicious! I had a Philly cheese quesadilla. Really good! I also had Cauliflower Au Gratin, delicious! The Wine and Alcolhol selection is subpurb! Music was pleasant , good sound! I would like to give a shot out to Lynn Bell. "The new Bar chairs are perfect! Thank You!!

    By FAR the BEST food I've had in the keys! The atmosphere is great too with live music, classy ambiance and friendly staff who really know the menu. Just go here! You won't be disappointed. Shout out to Evan for serving up an AWESOME experience! We'll be back!

    The best bar in the Lower Keys with a more elevated Feel. Long time bartenders Ray, Ian, and Tanaka are staples and always make good drinks. Even when it's packed. Sit at the bar for best service. Servers can be slow. Specials are always good, Voodoo Shrimp are my go to but many excellent choices. Highly recommend.

    Went here with family and had terrible service. Not for tourist. Rude staff from wait staff to bartender. Cocktails were below average, nothing special for the price. My drink was all juice barely any vodka. Would not recommend to anyone with kids or family. Consider going else where. Parking lot is a nightmare as well.

    Great bar with lots of choices, good food and entertainment. Shares facility with the Square Grouper. Friendly, quick and efficient staff, enjoyable entertainment and as well as a clean neat facility. Food is good, drink's tasty and clean orderly facility. Enjoy.

    Over priced, very rude, small serving sizes, and watered down drinks that are over filled with ice. Do not waste your money at “my new joint”. There are better places in the keys than this restaurant which are more friendly and better bank for your buck. As a proud conch I am super disappointed in this restaurant. Please train staff better!!!

    I had a great waiter Traci who was very attentive and fast with serving our food, she was tipped very well. Chris the bartender was rude, unprofessional, and just a flat out jerk. He got mad cause we didn’t tip the 1st drink cause we waited over 30mins and watched him serve other people their drinks that ordered after us. when we went back to purchase more drinks, he refused to serve us. Said he doesn’t work for free. His exact words were “why didn’t you tip me the last time? You’re going to have to find another server to make your drinks” we were such is shock that he said that. When we wanted management to help us out, he sided with the server and said that’s how it is in the keys. Again, left in shock. Idk who trains these people but they’re not doing it right. If you don’t get a tip it’s cause your service sucked. The owners response to our review said we sounded entitled. This time I’m not shocked but glad everyone else can see the type of people you’re gonna deal with.

    My family and I are here on vacation and we wanted to stop and eat somewhere nice on our last night in Cudjoe Keys. We decided on eating here, unfortunately the portions were ridiculously small and for a very very high price. We literally came back home and had to cook more food in order for us to get full. My boyfriend ordered their fish sandwich and it didn’t have no lettuce and no condimentes it was literally a bun and a piece of fish. I can honestly tell you that the fish sandwich at McDonald’s tastes way better and has way more in it. We all got our food at different times and they kept bringing us food that we didn’t order. We spent over $100 without tip and all we had was water for 4 people!!!!!!!!!!

    Awesome food! The smoked chicken flat bread was awesome! Raw oysters were on point. We stopped here for date night the day before mini season and figured the service would be terrible. Our bar tender was spectacular! Looking forward to going back.

    Best artichoke and spinach dip in the keys. I dare you to find a better one. The service is fantastic! Ian will take great care of you at the bar. We went on a separate occasion and Vivian did a great job on table service. Great place with a good vibe and chill live music.
