It was a beautiful night and our table on the outdoor deck had a clear view of the little peninsular beach -- the Atlantic on three sides. From the wooden launch ride to the individual greetings at the dock, the careful attention of the wait staff, the great food and wine -- what a night. We were four very experienced... More

It's exotic, exclusive, expensive ($250+/- couple w 1 drink, appetizer, entrée, shared desert), but oh so worth it as the trip there (private boat launch from Little Torch Key), the setting (tables on the beach with torches and a sea breeze and a gorgeous sunset), will make you feel like you have been transported to Tahiti...then there is the food....

Got a pile of big bucks to blow on an overprice, over hyped place? This is you place. Food tries to be eclectic and gourmet but misses the mark on most occasions. Horribly over priced everything. Unless you are staying in one of the guest cottages you are treated as a second class entity. go on down to Key West... More

Everyone should go here once. In fact, I think it's one of the 1000 places to see before you die. My husband and I went three years ago for our anniversary so this year we took our best friends back to celebrate their anniversary as well. First, we made the reservation and they asked us if we were celebrating anything... More

No body of water to swim in but beautiful ocean to look at. Lovely place but overpriced for what it was.

I highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a special dining experience to visit Little Palm Island for dinner. It is beautiful!! The view of the sunset is breathtaking as you sit and enjoy dinner on the beach; super romantic. Also, you may be lucky enough to spot the Key Deer that reside on the island. I actually had... More

Unfortunately, we were only able to dine on the beach a couple of nights because of a weather front, but even indoor dining was wonderful. The food was delicious and the staff warm and personable.
