Restaurants near Flamingo Ranger Station

My husband hat a knife and fork burger with a salad and I enjoyed bbq wings with fries, both were quite large portions and delicious. My husbands burger took a little longer so we had to wait a little longer but Jamie our delightful waitress informed us of this and it was no biggie to us. We had a lovely table outside on the deck and Jamie was excellent in checking up if anything had nuts in it and getting me what I called shandy but what she called summer shandy, making it the way I liked it as they had no bottles, it was delicious as was the key lime pie we shared at the end We are staying in the area and hope to get back, the vibe of the place was great, friendly and the food gorgeous. Thanks Jamie for making our first evening in the USA perfect 🙏

Our waiter Tom gave us over the top service. The food was excellent!

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.

We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. It was quite windy which meant it was chilly and we had to ensure the napkins were under things. Yet the view and being by the water was very well worth it.
