Best Date Night Restaurants in Tavernier

We had a friend recommend Pierre’s and we decided to make a reservation. We went before sunset. It was beautiful. Food was amazing. We had tuna tar tar appetizer, snapper and gnocchi for dinner. Crème brûlées for dessert. Will definitely go back. Everything was great.

This is a very lively restaurant. Music plays continually. Tonight there was a violin player and various birthday celebrations. It’s very decorated with areas for interesting photos. I had the pasta with lobster. It was a good quantity and very tasty. My cousin had the salmon and she enjoyed the taste. We shared a dessert of churros in the shape of hearts with ice cream and chocolate. Excellent!

The restaurant has great views overlooking the water. If you can go around sunset, it is amazing. As for the service, everyone was helpful and cheerful. They were eager to help and accommodated everything we asked for. I ordered the spare ribs and my wife ordered the scallops. The ribs were very good. The portion was good and the side of mashed potatoes and green beans were very good as well. The scallops were okay. They were slightly overcooked and there were 4 smaller sized scallops so the portion was not the best but everything was good.

The place has amazing views, at least during Sunday brunch it was very quiet and relaxing. Service was excellent and the staff always with a smile. The food was food, we went simple with the burger and fish n’chips. Desserts: please try the key lime pie. Delicious.

Atlantic’s Edge is an interesting place for dinner. It’s located in Cheeca Lodge which is a gated resort. So in order to enter you need to show proof of your dinner reservation, and apparently you need to arrive around the time of your reservation. So it’s a bit off putting in terms of feeling welcome or appreciated. Similar experience at the host stand. The greeting was lukewarm at best. As to the food and service, overall the food was good. The dishes were nicely prepared and seemed very much as described. But I wouldn’t say that any of the food was delicious or extraordinary. One of the dishes we tried was the blackened grouper. It lacked any seasoning and certainly didn’t show the char typically associated with “blackened” style of cooking. Food temps were also a bit off. Items were warm or room temp. So no cool crisp salads or hot entrees. This was our second trip to Atlantic’s Edge and I’m not sure we will repeat.
