Cheeca restaurants
Hello all
We have stayed many times over the years at Cheeca and really enjoy the resort . We however do not care for the quality of the restaurants ( other than breakfast at Atlantic’s edge)
We did do New Year’s Eve this past year and the dinner was average at best. Has anyone dined recently at any of the lodge restaurants ? Would appreciate any updates opinions . Thanks
Cheeca Lodge & Spa in Islamorada offers a few dining options on-site, and while the resort is known for its relaxed, upscale Keys atmosphere, the restaurants have received mixed reviews over the years. Many guests love the breakfast at Atlantic’s Edge but feel that lunch and dinner options could be improved.
Recent feedback from visitors suggests:
- Atlantic’s Edge: Continues to be highly regarded for breakfast, with good variety and quality. A popular choice for starting the day with ocean views.
- The Fish House / Cheeca Lodge Dinner: Some guests feel that the dinner quality is inconsistent. Portions are generally good, but flavors may not meet expectations compared to other Keys restaurants.
- Other on-site options: There are casual bars and lounges where light fare and cocktails are served. These are convenient but are more suited to snacks rather than full meals.
Overall, the consensus seems to be that Cheeca is excellent for the resort experience, pool, and ocean access, but for dining beyond breakfast, many guests recommend venturing off property into Islamorada for lunch or dinner.
- Nearby alternatives: Morada Bay, Islamorada Fish Company, and Lazy Days are popular local spots for higher-quality seafood and relaxed Keys dining.
- For a special dinner, booking ahead at one of the nearby waterfront restaurants often provides a better culinary experience than the resort’s main dining options.
In summary, if your priority is top-notch dining, plan to supplement Cheeca’s meals with excursions to local restaurants, while enjoying the resort amenities and breakfast on-site.
