I was at Sundowner's a few years ago and really enjoyed it, including the sunset. Our last experience was totally different. There were 6 of us including one 4-year-old. For the reservation, I left a message on their answering machine but got no confirmation so...I stopped by in person in the afternoon and confirmed it .. the host wrote it down but when we arrived, no reservation .. luckily there was a table for the 6 of us, Our drink orders were taken quite quickly but apparently the diet Pepsi was flat .. neither the bartender nor the server noticed it but we ended up sending back a diet Pepsi as well as a mixed drink with diet Pepsi. Three of us had soups ( lobster bisque and clam chowder) and they were mediocre.. But the server waited until after our soups had arrived to take our main orders and about half an hour after that, came back to tell one of our party that there was no pasta for the dish she had ordered. Two of us ordered grouper- one blackened and one grilled. But they put the wrong sauces on the plates and we claimed the food based on the sauces we had ordered. so I got the blackened instead of the grilled .. and thought it was just burned but turns out the grilled piece of fish went to my son. The grilled portion size was literally half the size of the blackened filet... my son ate both his (well originally mine) and most of mine (should have been his). The rest of the food at the table was acceptable but nothing to give a big thumbs-up for. Even a small thing like bringing the salt and pepper to the table .. they brought two peppers. Our server seemed to really not want to be there and unprofessionally threw her co-worker under the bus by saying it was a mistake he made, not her. We complained about the mixup with the dinners and the manager came out and offered us key lime pie comped .. but we were all not interested. He ended up taking the 20% gratuity off our bill which had been put on because we were a party of 6. But neither the sunset, nor the food, nor the service would entice us to return.More

Went there today. After waiting a considerable time to be seated, I waited over 20 minutes, and no one came to take my order, or even put a glass of water on the table. I left. Very sad to see a local place that was...once pretty good lose it this way.More

First of all, the back bar area is really cute. UNFORTUNATELY, the place is not run well at all. We had drinks and were told by a bartender that we wouldn’t be abl;e to see the sunset this time of year. so, I walked out...on the Pier and got a perfect view. Weird that she would say we couldn’t see it when it was obvious it was right there. then we got a table on their deck for dinner (you could see the sunset there too!) and didn’t get a waiter for twenty minutes. I finally went in and the waiter came running out. He was very sweet and attentive after that. They seemed understaffed. Before our food came I had to tell the hostess to turn on the lights because we would have been eating in the dark if she hadn’t. The Ceviche looked like a bowl of soup. The flavor wasn’t bad but the presentation was so strange. The coconut shrimp was mostly breading. It was not prepared fresh. I’ve made it myself before and the shrimp had a nice coating of coconut and flour. This was not that. The rest was ok. The fries were definitely good but I would choose the Fish house with no sun set over this place any day.More

Very disappointed, only thing good about this place was the sunset view. Key lime seafood dish had barely any seafood , chicken tenders tasted awful with the breading falling off , mahi mahi drenched in butter with plain rice and barely any vegetables.

Couple of friends and I went out during the summer. We went here to dine and the food was amazing. We then stop by the bar next door called cactus Jack's we had a great time the bartender Kim was friendly, serve great drinks, and...was speedy for her being the only bartender there. We played pool and some outdoor games. Great music and had a blast with other bar attendees.More

Great location, shrimp was good, but served in a good lb of green salad and only 5 shrimps. The key lime pie was delicious and fluffy, that was a highlight. Other than that, pretty non all that impressive. The sunset was spectacular.

Stopped in at Salty's, I guess owned by Sundowners? Pretty sure the food made both the wife and I sick once we arrived home. I called and left a mesage for the manager, no reply from Vanessa. Found this place sitting next to the Big...Chill-where we were headed, but they were closed due to renovations. Being hungry as we were on the road headed home from Key West, we decided to grab a bite here. Although the lil girl waiting on us was very nice and pleasant, we had a bit of a wait. Appeared to be under staffed. But, still nice to sit on the deck. Restaurant appeared to be clean, restrooms were nasty. A toilet was not working properly.More

We had one of the best seafood dinners we’ve ever enjoyed in the Keys at Sundowners. We’d seen them featured on a fishing show we like and decided to stop by. They didn’t disappoint. We enjoyed a delicious appetizer of poke tuna nachos, and the...Key Lime Mojito was fantastic. Husband enjoyed the Islamorada brew he had. My entrée of Hogfish Fernando style with vegetables and jasmine rice was easily in my top 3 seafood meals ever. Hubs enjoyed yellow snapper. Key Lime pie, while not as good as mine, was still delicious. They top theirs with meringue, I prefer my rum-infused whipped cream. But it was definitely a fantastic meal and our server Jorge was a delight!More

Spoke to the owner yesterday. Named fish is the way you prepare it. Usually is Mahi-mahi. It’s prepared with olive oil, salt and pepper. Yes, you can have it prepared for lunch and dinner anytime any day.
