Dined at the Dining Room and it was amazing. The food, service, ambience were fabulous. The Key Deer were very friendly too. You have to watch them as they will take food off your table! The piano music and vocalist were very appropriate and enjoyable More

We were really excited to spend a huge portion of our budget to dine on Little Palm Island. The atmosphere made it all worthwhile, although there was room for improvement. When we made reservation we requested the nicest table to help us make the evening most enchanted. It was obvious that those initial requests were not taken into consideration. We... More

Food was well prepared and presented, service was good but value for the money was low. Portions were sometimes on the small side. On the upside the location and view are second to none in all of the Keys and maybe the world. More

No wonder this restaurant is rated one of the best in the WORLD... From presentation to temperature, everything was cooked to perfection. Ossetra caviar served with traditional condiments, toast points and blinis! The filet is tender enough to cut with a fork, lobster tails succulent and tasty with pan-seared foie gras and black truffles. The foie gras was seared to... More

Went here for brunch. At $75pp you'd expect alot, and they deliver. It starts with a boat ride to the island in one of 2 antique wooden boats. Then brunch starts with unlimited champagne, mimosas or bloody mary bar, all top shelf. Next is the cold buffet items, followed by the tapas style hot entrees,then desert. Entirely unhurried, relaxed pace.... More

Overpriced, but once you are there, they got you. The setting is perfect with the beach tables and the sunset behind you. The food is very good and the wine list is good, not great. More
