Restaurants near National Key Deer National Wildlife Refuge

Dined here because of a recommendation from a friend. We loved it. The service by our waiter Aaron was excellent as well as every item we ate or drank. We asked our server to describe some of the dishes and it really helped us to make a decision because everything on the menu looked amazing. It was a splurge, but well worth it and we look forward to our next visit to Latitudes.

Castaways lives up to their advertising.....incredible food at an off the beaten path spot that lives up to third "D" of "Diners, Drive Inns and Dives". The decor is fascinating!! We arrived a bit early for the reservation but were greeted and seated promptly by the owner of the restaurant; place was busy at 6 and got busier over the next couple of hours. Throughout the evening we saw the owner talking with patrons and helping the staff--a rarity in many places. Appetizers were the shrimp ceviche and crab queso which were very tasty, full of seafood and large portions. My wife and daughter enjoyed the lion fish which is their specialty. It was a nice meal and very unique "wreck diver" presentation made it delicious. I tried another rarity of the area as well with the hog fish and it was very good as well. Service was top notch and appreciated the opportunity to enjoy some unique fish dishes. Worth the short drive from KW and venturing of the main road a bit!

Our waitress was amazing and our food was delicious. The coconut margaritas were fabulous. The noise level in the back room was extremely loud, but it was because of one large table that was being quite obnoxious. Other than that, our experience was wonderful.

We did not know that until 4 pm the menu is brunch/breakfast, from 4-5 is happy hour menu, and the entrees begin at 5. We were disappointed because of this. We actually arrived early (2:45). We did have good food, just not what we had anticipated.

The service was outstanding, very friendly and fast couldn’t be better. Food plated beautifully. The outdoor dining is very beautiful with unbelievable view. It does lend to have kids running a muck and screaming on the beach so if you want a quieter experience dine inside or dine later in the evening. We will be back.
