Islamorada Fish Company — Restaurant in Islamorada

First time here, specifically came for my birthday, and disappointed with the service. Hostess named Roselyn asked to confirm our number three times, still got it wrong, and on top of that put down the wrong name. She told us "give her 5 minutes and we will be seated down shortly". We waited around 20 minutes right by the hostess with our toddler on the high chairs. When time came to get our seats, she called the wrong number and called the wrong name in regards to us three. We were annoyed by that. She then went to go seat us in what she considers the best seats "in the middle". We asked her nicely to sit us by the water so our toddler can enjoy the water views and told us "you will have to wait more for a seat by the water." Great response/help Roselyn. We had no choice but to be seated in the middle with our toddler. While we waited for service/food the same hostess sat other couples/families by the water with no issues or wait time. Very annoying how she refused to help us out. Appetizers were overpriced and not so tasty or large in size. Coconut shrimp was 18 bucks and 5 baby coconut shrimps. Very disappointing. Calamari was mediocre. We also had two Whole Yellowtail Snapper and they were the only good thing of this place. The view is beautiful and some great vibes, if service was better I would return but rather take my hard earned money somewhere else. One time was good enough, don't plan on...

Service was great. We had a wonderful waitress who was attentive, friendly, and engaging.

The food we ordered was very good. Husband got the whole yellow fin snapper with a huge quantity of green beans and mashed potatoes. Definitely something he'd order again. I got the grilled Parmesan chicken that came with A large portion of asparagus covered in the same sauce that the chicken was and a medium size of mashed potatoes. Not sure why his was double the size of mine but it was still a good portion. The chicken was tasty. It had a nice cream sauce on it though. I wouldn't say that the amount of chicken was huge but it was a fair size. And the key lime pie was good and totally shareable.

I don't know if this place offers portable heaters in their outdoor dining, but there were none in the ceiling area and it was a Cool. Slightly breezy evening. In that case, I suggest sitting more in the center of the outside section. We were seated right by the water where the cool Factor was more noticeable.

The views are very nice. The only thing I would ding it on and I'm sure this has nothing to do with them is a fishing vessel that is moored up to the pier which completely blocked our view of the sunset. Not that we couldn't walk around and still get pictures of the sunset, but the ugly fishing boat was just a slight detractor. Otherwise this was one of our more favorite meals in the area. We would...

Before I forget: our server was Vicente. He was absolutely FANTASTIC. Kind, nice, knowledgeable, and listened to my wife about her medically-necessary gluten-free diet.

The location here is really neat! Outdoor covered dining next to a little artificial "bay" / boat dock / charter marina. The bay had a circling school of tarpon and at least 1 small nurse shark. My kids were thrilled!

I chose the Fried Seafood Combo Basket consisting of Calamari, Fried Shrimp, and Conch Fritters. I'd never had conch nor conch fritters before so I gave it a shot! The fried calamari and fried shrimp were fantastic! The conch fritters were OK. Basically like very savory hush puppies with some chewy bits of conch in them. I don't know what I was expecting as I had no expectations. They weren't "bad" necessarily, but not to my taste if that makes sense? I'm still glad that I ordered and tried them. And by God, I ate all 3 that were on the platter. :-)

My daughter ordered the Parmesan Grilled Chicken and absolutely loved it. Cleaned her plate.

My son ordered the kids menu fried shrimp and loved both it and the calamari I shared with him.

My wife kind of had to order off menu a bit due to her dietary restriction. I believe she had a skewer of grilled shrimp, 1 of scallops, and some kind of grilled/sauted veggie. She also loved it! And again, she must eat gluten-free and she did NOT get ill...
