Great location, service and food. We've been here twice - both times I had the Salmon St. Croix - delish! Old dog, new tricks. Hubby was a bit disappointed with his selection on our first visit - BUT, the reason we made the second trip was when asked about his meal the first time and expressed a bit of disappointment...

Service great, food even better. Amazing view overlooking the sea. Photos of Famous folk visiting. Be prepared for a little bit of a queue - this is a very popular restaurant.

Hemingways has great atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food. It is a pricier restaurant but you truly get what you pay for here. Would definitely return!

This place is one of those that is great for any occasion. Be it a wedding, a casual meal, meeting friends or just hanging out. The food is good, the prices are comparable and the setting is marvelous.

This was our first time to eat here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great food and prices were not bad. We will be back.

Every time I have been to Hemingway's has been a pleasant experience. Their iced tea is refreshing and not at all bitter. The food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is great. My favorite thing to do is sit on the back deck and enjoy the ocean breeze. They have fans out there, so even on a 100 degree day you... More

25+ family and friends met up here for dinner and had a great time. We sat upstairs, inside, overlooking the beach, water and ferris wheel. Wait staff were friendly and attentive. Drinks were great. The grilled chicken and glazed salmon my husband and I had were perfect. Key lime pie was perfection! The place was packed and atmosphere was fun.... More

We went here before and loved it. This time was awful. Our waitress came to our table and didn't even ask what we wanted to drink just said I'll bring you guys water and ran off. She was at our table very infrequently and didn't ask much. The food was overcooked, they weren't very busy and we had trouble getting... More

The drinks are great, but the food is awful. And the place is filthy. We were sitting there at the bar when this HUGE palmetto bug fell down from the shelf above and landed an inch away from my entree. That was at the bar. I can just imagine what the kitchen must be like. Oh, there is NO LOVE... More

Sub par food and service. Premium prices for food that we didn't enjoy. The ambiance feels like a Golden Corral - ugly tables and bright lighting. We did not enjoy this place.
