There's nothing that says romance like a sunset dinner on the waterfront. We were recently on vacation and visiting Key Largo, FL and after a day at the beach, we were ready for a nice sit-down dinner.
Not being from the area, we called upon the local park ranger for her recommendation of where the locals go, not the tourists, and she told us about The Buzzard's Roost. We would have never found it on our own, it was WAAYYYY off the beaten path.
When we arrived we had our choice of indoor seating, sitting on the screened-in patio, or outdoor seating facing the waterfront. Since it was a lovely evening, we chose to sit outdoors and enjoy the view and invigorating ocean breeze.
The menu offered an impressive round-up of appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts but I'll only include here the section that we ordered from:
While on the ocean, we wanted to take advantage of the fresh fish option. We didn't take the Mahi though, we opted for Yellowtail Snapper for an additional $4 and we took advantage of the "sauteed in lemon butter and white wine" as well.
It came served with a fresh steamed vegetable medley of broccoli, carrots, and peppers. The veggies were tender/crisp just the way I like them and the fish was outstanding!
The dessert menu was also very tempting, featuring one of my favorites - Grand Marnier Creme Brulee - which was described as custard infused with Grand Marnier Orange Cognac and a carmelized sugar crust on top. Alas, I was entirely too satisfied with the meal to have room for dessert.
If you are a fisherman yourself, they even have a Hook & Cook option where they will prepare for you the fish you have caught.
All in all, we were well pleased with this romantic spot in Key Largo and would definitely return if in the area again. Next time I'm leaving some room for that Creme Brulee!

Mmm... red snapper is my all-time favorite, but I'd sure like some of the yellowtail! I love the keys - it's another world.
Red snapper is the bomb too! And grouper is another favorite of mine. The Keys are definitely a cool place to hang.
What an awesome view from the table! Very chilled!!!
It turned out very nice, it pays to ask the locals.
Always!!!!!
Must have been a magical dinner for you love birds. I'm envious as we haven't had a romantic dinner for some time now.
Well here's hoping that you get one soon!
Fish looks delicious, taking advantage of the outdoor meal at waters edge really a romantic option to remember for the future visits.

That's what we thought too, take the most advantage of the things we don't get to experience in the Midwest!

🎁 Hi @blueeyes8960! You have received 0.1 STEEM tip from @joanstewart!Everything looks great (despite the name and the giant buzzard). Eating by the sea is a wonderful experience and if the place is nice and the food great, then double the pleasure. Thanks for sharing your experience in this fine place.
Thank you @hlezama - it was worth the extra money for the experience - out of our usual price range, but every now and then you get a chance to splurge.
What a great spot to enjoy a meal. I love the statue of the Buzzard.
I thought he was pretty cool, lol.

My wife and I love eating at these types of places when we can actually find them. You did it right.. ask a local! they know best. Looks like it was a fun place to spend an hour or to chillin out :-)
Yes, we'd much rather find the out of the way local place than frequent the chains that you find anywhere. :)
Oh yeah, it looks like a cool place and the locals always knows best.
Glad that you guys enjoyed the romantic outing my friend.
Blessings!
We did enjoy it, thank you @papilloncharity!
👌 ❤️ 👌
Mmmmmmmmmm
Yes, indeed, only now I wish I would have gotten the creme brulee as well, lol.
Looks like a good piece of fish. Gotta love the waterfront meal views :)
One of the best we had on the trip, but also the most expensive, lol.
That looks good! Not nearly quite what I expected after seeing the first picture! lol! Great find!
Yes the tiki bar wasn't in use at that time, I bet it's really a rocking place on the weekends. They had an outdoor stage and featured live music on the weekends as well. Too bad it was a Tuesday night, lol.
Now I'm hungry @blueeyes8960, I know not to read restaurant posts before bed. 😁
