"Our favorite restaurant in the Marathon is one we visited two nights in a row. The food is outstanding, the wine selection is fantastic, and the atmosphere is perfectly laid-back for the Keys. It's definitely not a spot for a quick meal; instead, it's ideal for an enjoyable and peaceful evening by the beach, savoring dessert under the stars. I have food allergies, and they were very accommodating, offering rice flour for gluten-free options. I highly recommend reserving a table outside. We enjoyed the Huffish both nights, prepared Francese and en papillote."

"Great experience in this typical American dinner on the side of the road to Key West the food is excellent and believe me you will not be left hungry (see photo below) the staff is at the top very kind and attentive of your needs.The atmosphere is great in immersion with the Americans who come there daily.The only negative point is that it is a little dark inside.Apart from that, go there!!!"

"Sit back and grab a drink, folks. This is going to be a long one. I made reservations for our 16th wedding anniversary this past Friday during a vacation. We aren 't Resort people but do like fine dining and do it frequently. The first surprise was the $25 non-guest valet charge. There was self parking available... somewhere in the distance. The nearest lot was for valet only. We paid the $25. The resort lobby was quite attractive, but the atmosphere was not carried into the restaurant. Grey. Open duct work ceiling, nice lighting, but bare walls. No flowers either. It 's just a generic, square grey room. We prefer a warmer atmosphere, but OK, maybe chef wants the focus on the food, not the room. Menu choices were OK, but other than 4 or so steaks, somewhat limited. She ordered a the filet medium $58) and I, the Prime Kansas Strip medium $82) and we added whipped potatoes $13) and grilled asparagus $14) No apps. Each of us ordered a flight of 3 wines $22 $26). The meal arrived in a reasonable time. The filet was the typical size but undercooked. Medium is pink, not the red of medium rare. This was rare. Accompanying the steak was an enormous head of grilled elephant garlic. Not sure what to do with that. My Prime strip wasn 't too appealing looking on arrival, but I dove in any way. I 've eaten a lot of steaks in my days at all sorts of establishments. I know the difference between Prime and Choice. While cooked properly, this was certainly no Prime cut. Frankly, I 've had better cuts at chain restaurants. I wouldn 't pay more than $15 for it in a diner. Perhaps 3 bites had any flavor and tenderness. The rest for an $82 steak) was just flavorless meat, tough gristle and bitter disappointment. The sides were fine but cold. How hard is it to get that right? We pushed through and ordered the Key Lime Trio $14) and a decaf coffee $5). Key lime Gelato, key lime tart, and a key lime donut. The trio turned out to be a duo because the donut was MIA. We 'd have asked, but our server was focused on new arrivals. So, the final bill was $266 for two and a great disappointment. Admittedly, I am a steak snob. At these prices, I expect a fantastic steak that I will think about for days afterward. Parking: $25 for valet!"

"DELIGHTFUL ISLAND VIBE! Oh my gosh we just left this DARLING restaurant and I’m in love! We had an excellent breakfast on 2/21/2022. The cheese omelette was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of cheese, not too much and not too little. We also had the pan au chocolate (chocolate croissant) which came to us warm and the outside was the perfect amount of crispy layered yummy-ness that a croissant should be. I had an iced mocha that was delicious! I initially ordered the Nitro Cold Brew but didn’t like it and they graciously and quickly offered to exchange. Big Ben was THE MAN! He has a truly kind and lovely spirit. He makes you feel welcome in such a genuine authentic way. He was a one man show today and managed everything with grace and kindness and efficiency. Another VERY important element they have nailed is their music! Too many places think that louder is better. We don’t patronize those places. Bongo’s plays wonderful island style music at the perfect level to provide a great vibe and patrons can carry on conversation. Well done!!! And the grounds! So inviting and island-y feeling! Corn hole. Large size Jenga. Conversation areas with sofas. Hammocks. Walk in here and feel at home and your stress level drop. Well curated selection of beer. Wine also served. I give this fine establishment my highest recommendation *Edited to add: One reviewer mentioned the lack of sides with the meal. In contrast I appreciated VERY much not being tempted by too many empty calories!!! I ate the broiled tomato and greens on my plate. Tasty and healthy! My waistline appreciates healthy choices! God Bless you Bongo’s!"

"Este es nuestro nuevo lugar BYOB local favorito. Hemos estado dos veces ahora. El personal es muy cálido y amable y la comida es excelente. Si le gusta la comida bien elaborada y está dispuesto a pagar por una degustación muy interesante, comida bellamente servida, este es un gran lugar para ir. Hemos estado dos veces y las dos veces también han sido excelentes con restricciones dietéticas. Es encantador, lo suficientemente informal como para entrar (¡si puedes entrar!), Pero también es un gran lugar para llevar a amigos y familiares que están de visita o para una salida nocturna o una cita especial. El área de Wayne necesitaba un lugar como este. Seguiremos volviendo seguro."
