We have been to Uncles twice this week, something we have never done ever in our 47 years of marriage. That's because he had the gnocci with shrimp the first time and was reluctant to share. We went back so I had an order of it all to myself. Meanwhile he had fresh snapper with Joe's sauce Milanesi. Now we... More

I have to say that I was very confused! We had eaten here numerous times years ago when we had taken our kids here when we first hit the Keys long ago. We made reservations expecting it to be packed, due to the excellent food we had back then, and it was not! It was without hesitation the best two... More

My sister in law suggested this restaurant because she had a great experience on New Year's Eve. She couldn't believe the difference only a month and a half later. The service was good and atmosphere was very keys, but the prices were high, the portions minuscule, and the taste was blah. We had a party of 5 and 4 of... More

Restaurants in the Keys are often hit and miss. This was a hit. We were an unexpected party of 9. Seated quickly. Very attentive service. Nice wine selection. Various dishes (my fish, dolphin with mushrooms and artichokes was excellent) and everyone raved about their food. For the Keys not too pricey... still with wine and tip etc $40 a person.

Good service, but overpriced. Chicken flavorless, the mashed potatoes and the vegetables were good. There are better options for a pricey restaurant.
