Absolutely incredible meal and experience from start to finish. The dining room was wonderfully appointed and just the right size. We shared the butterfly salad and shrimp cocktail to start, both were excellent and generously portioned. The rosemary and Asiago bread that followed were warm and fresh. I had the scallop risotto and it was incredible! My husband had the snapper and it was also delicious and generously portioned. The key lime pie was GREAT, so different with the frozen white chocolate mousse and Oreo crust. The timing of the dishes was perfect and our server was attentive but not overbearing.
Very cozy and the food was delicious! The lemon pie was golden medal. This restaurant is inside Tranquility Bay Resort, with options to dine inside or outside.
We had a great family meal here while staying at Tranquility Bay. The food was good, and our server Michelle was fantastic. The highlight of the meal was their key lime pie, which was a unique preparation and truly remarkable. The next day we bought a key lime pie and realized we forgot to get whipped cream, I asked the hostess for some and she graciously brought me some from the kitchen. Good food, great ambience, and even better service. Highly recommend!
Really nice place to have dinner. I definitely recommend reservations. Our food was delicious, and the creme brulee was one of my favorites . Our server Denise was amazing, offering great recommendations and overall service. The Ahi Poke appetizers was amazing!!!! I got the Scallop Risotto, I loved it and my husband got the Grouper, he said it was good but not the greatest. We originally had a table outside, but I started to really get eaten by the bugs, but thankfully they were able to accommodate us to an indoor table. Otherwise it might have turned into a whole different evening. In the small amount if skin i had exposed in my ankles (i had jeans on) and arms i have quite a few welts. The view and atmosphere was beautiful and overall a good experience.
I found out about this place from my mother in law who lives down here. She ranted and raved about how good it was and she is one hundred percent right! The atmosphere is very classy. Sitting outside on the porch you afforded a beautiful view of the garden. The food was absolutely amazing and the staff were attentive and polite. Highly recommend you check this place out
We went their for our anniversary dinner and it was amazing! We both had the filet and it was done perfectly. The dessert was great. The service was out of this world. We have been in the keys for a week and have been disappointed by the lack of customer service; but not here. Our waitress Michelle was personable and approachable. We will definitely be back!
We checked-in and went to the Butterfly Cafe for our first dinner. Randi took awesome care of us and made some great recommendations. We ordered the butterfly and key lime martinis and a sunrise cocktail. They were all delicious. For dinner, I got the coconut shrimp and my husband got the yellow tail snapper. We would both order our meals again bc we enjoyed them very much. And how could we pass up the frozen key lime pie. It was a great spin with a chocolate crust and frozen mousse on top. Excellent experience, definitely plan on coming back!
Came for the steak. Stayed for the fish. Kind, welcoming staff. Beautiful patio. Good food. Overall a relaxing evening at the Butterfly Café. Hope to be back.
Celebrated hubby's birthday. We had a lovely time. Service and atmosphere were great.
Absolutely no complaints about this place.
The food was good, I sampled the crab soup special, the shrimp cocktail (a lil small but good), the lamb chops, and the yellowtail snapper.
Family members enjoyed a very nice berry salad, filet mignon, coconut shrimp, and scallop risotto which they all enjoyed.
The desserts were very good, so don't skip that!
The food was surprisingly amazing - we certainly did not expect this elevated dining experience. The warm goat cheese appetizer had a complexity of flavors that was brilliant. Filet mignon cooked perfectly. Snapper had a lot of flavor. Risotto was delicious. The service was very professional and genuinely warm. Randi was our server and she was outstanding. The hostess/bartender was very hospitable - super nice. Highly recommend and would go back again when in the area.
Roxanne was such an amazing and attentive server. She really helped complete the vibe at the butterfly cafe with all of her amazing recommendations. I will visit this resturant everytime I am in the keys. I am a non seafood eater so I got the pork chops and they did not disappoint. I got the sode of risotto which was to die for, literally melted in my mouth! My husband got a seafood trio special and was in awe. The ceasar salad was wonderful and refreshing and the dessert was the perfect finishing touch. Everything was extremely wonderful!
Me and my group of other 4 people parked on the hotels parking and entered the restaurant. We went on a Sunday at around 7:50pm it was a big space but only 5 groups or so were actually dining so we had no wait time.
We ordered a around of drinks which were great. And they gave us 2 some rosemary bread and cheese bread to start with butter. The bread was fluffy and very good.
For dinner we ordered the Seared Sea Scallops and jerk chicken. The Scallopea were amazing and perfectly cooked and the risotto was very nice. The jerk chicken was a little dry but still flavorful and tasty. For dessert we ordered the key lime pie which was delicious and made with real lime, but some may call it unoriginal because originally it was made with concentrated lime powder. We also got the raspberry sorbet which was good.
The service was great and the waiter was kind and the ambience was calm and relaxing.
One of the best meals and environments I’ve ever had in the Keys. It was such a unique and beautiful experience all around.
The food was good, the dessert was delicious, the service was great, would not recommend sitting outside, mosquitoes are terrible. A little pricey, but overall a great birthday dinner. Would go again just for the dessert, the crème brûlée was to die for.
Nara at The Butterfly Cafe was a great server! And the food was outstanding! Beautiful views - a must see in Marathon!
