Reviews
We were seated, it took 20 minutes for someone to bring water and take our drink order. Another 15 minutes before our waters and wine arrived…and after placing our food order it took another hour to get our food. The restaurant was not busy. Our server disappeared after taking our food order and didn’t come check to see if we wanted more water or other beverages after we ran out while we waited for our food.
The food quality has considerably gone down hill, which is such a shame because this was one of my favorites restaurants. It’s now mediocre at best and I seriously question the freshness of the fish.
The ambiance is like a Chucky Cheese with kids running around and the guitar player playing “Old McDonald Had a Farm” and the kids sang loudly. I’m all for including kids, but again, this is not indicative of a fine dining restaurant. The staff moved tables while we were eating, which was loud, and I didn’t see any reason for the urgency considering nobody else came to sit at those tables.
It’s a shame to see one of the finer restaurants in the Keys decline so rapidly. When i pay high prices for food and drink I expect an element of class and quality, neither of which Atlantic’s Edge offers anymore.
Reservations were easy to make online. They have a valet option for parking. All staff is friendly at the resort and gladly answered any questions we had. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
On top of that, the drinks were poorly balanced, with far too much ice and very little alcohol, which felt like an attempt to cut costs. Considering the date, the prices, and the restaurant’s positioning, the overall experience was very negative. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it.
The menu was a real let down, it had very few option and all of which had to be “enhanced” which is just another upcharge. I ended up selecting a salad, “enhanced” with chicken for more than $36. It was good, but not great. The rib-eye was AMAZING, probably the best we’d ever had. The sear was perfect and the glaze delicious. It was just a piece of meat unless you “enhance” it. So we “enhanced” a side of garlic fries. Meh. Dinner for two was over $130 not including the tip and we both left not quite full. Our server was very attentive and kind, she really did a great job. The hostess and the busser were loud and a little obnoxious in their conversations, but we were literally sitting right by them. When the tables were being cleared, chairs were dragged, dishes were loudly stacked. It reminded me of a bustling cafe than fine dining. Patrons and families walked through with bathing suits and beach gear. It was all just a little off, not the atmosphere we were anticipating. More than likely, we won’t be back.
