Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Tavernier

As always the prime rib & clam casino were delicious it’s one of our favorite restaurants to eat while being in Marathon

I’m just a little disappointed with the food. The food there used to incorporate everyone. I only eat seafood and vegetarian items. They got rid of a lot of things I can eat and I felt very limited. They said they change their menu every 6 months so I’ll go back then and hope to see more options for people that don’t eat meat.

Great service, solid menu wine and bit pricey… Please tell the chef that truffle oil has no truffles and it is a bunch of chemicals that ruin food so don’t order it! Great view, and our food was excellent

Good food but not the ingredients advertised on the menu. The Caribbean rub chicken cake without the advertised fried plantains. The pea and prosciutto salad came without the advertised English peas and snap peas, and came only with the fava beans. No mention or apology by the server for any of those omissions. Odd. But the good as served was good. My wife thought $48 for a roast half chicken was a bit high but it was well prepared (except for the missing plantains) and you are paying for location and ambiance, which are lovely. The key lime pie is very good. The Caribbean coconut custard nearly as good. Far Niente Chardonnay runs $170 which is a bit dear but location, location, location. This is our fourth stay at Cheeca Lodge and good food is part of it, so we will be back.

The food was delicious and our server Chris was awesome! Our group had the meatballs, focaccia and shrimp as appetizers and the salmon, pasta w burrata, and steak as entrees. All delicious and the portions are generous. The only issue was the full moon and the tide. The parking lot had turned into a lake by the time we left and we had some car issues. We will definitely go back, but will check on the tide/moon situation first!
