We first visited Old Key Lime House probably 15 years ago and loved the quirky Key West/Bahamas vibe and decor. The food was delicious that first visit and on subsequent visits but we had not been back in almost five years. On this visit, the atmosphere is still quirky and delightful. The house was packed but we were seated within 10 minutes and almost immediately attended to by Leah who provided outstanding service throughout the visit. We started with the rum runner and Key lime martini. The rum runner was light on the rum but still refreshing. That rum lightness was rectified on my second glass with the addition of a floater. The martini was like drinking a liquor key lime pie but also light on the alcohol. For appetizer we had the steamed clams. The clams were cooked well but the sauce stole the show. I could put that sauce in a cup and make anything taste good. Got the main course, we had the shrimp and grits and the tuna poke bowl. The shrimp were cooked to perfection, The sauce atop the grits with bacon bits was classic. A few drops of hot sauce brought this dish to the next level. My wife was underwhelmed by the tuna poke because it needed more soy sauce or ponzu. The addition of salt to the dish elevated the poke. Big shout out to Leah and the rest of the staff; hostesses and food runners, who made this mad Sunday a wonderful outing.

Food: delicious. Prices are VERY good. Calamari was perfectly cooked. Sandwich was different which made it even better. And the pie was my favorite. Best key lime pie I've ever had. Service: our waitress was very attentive, gave good recommendations, and it happened to be her first day! She did an excellent job. The hostess was ok. Ambiance: I love that it's on the water, very cool seating placement all throughout and they even have a bar on a boat! And a rooftop bar! Very cool experience. It feels like I'm on vacation but it's a local spot. Dying to take my parents here. They love being on the water and this is a nice experience overall. Very laid back. Good for family or a nice night out with your partner. DEFINITELY coming back.

I am slowly working my way through a list of historic restaurants in South Florida, and Old Key Lime House certainly fits that bill as it touts itself as the oldest restaurant on the water with the largest tiki bar. So we took off on an adventure one afternoon and made the drive up from Fort Lauderdale. We got here early enough for happy hour (M-F 4-7) and the place was already filling up. The parking lot is small but they do have valet parking so we dumped the car and wandered inside. Now when they say a place is big, know that this place really is BIG. The person at the door told us that there were 5 bars (one was closed on the day we were there) and it will take a while to meander out back to what I think must be the best bar as it overlooks the water and you can see the sunset. They even had live music and this was on a weeknight- can't imagine how much more fun it would be on a weekend! We took a seat at the large bar, ordered a couple of drinks and looked over the menu. The bartenders were on their game, making the drinks quickly and pulling the beers from the ice tub. Also important to note is that the happy hour is on drinks only, there are no food specials. We decided we would start with some Grouper bites (deep fried and delicious!) and then ordered up a couple of burgers. Know that they are not big on special requests and it says right on the menu that there are no substitutions. Easier for the kitchen but a bit difficult for my picky eater friend who wanted his burger with onions and pickles only and it comes with lettuce and tomato. They did try to make him happy with raw onion and little cup of pickles so he ended up in a good place. The beer was cold, the drinks well poured and the food was good. If I had a wish, it would be that it was closer to Fort Lauderdale as this needs to be a destination unto itself for those of us not lucky enough to live nearby. But the next time we are in the mood for a road trip, we will definitely venture up this way again!
