  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Lively
  • Great for creative cocktails
Angler & Ale, an amazing restaurant where either before or after an astounding sunset cruise or snorkeling with Sole' Watersports, you can grab a waterfront table, dig into some of the Key’s favorite dishes, and wash it down with a frosty cold, fresh-from-the-tap brew or a crafted cocktail. Better yet, bring in your own catch for a hook-and-cook feast prepared by our expert chefs. Great food. Cold beer. And fishing. Doesn’t get any better than that. Our outdoor seating is non reservable and based on availability at the time of your seating.

    Enjoyed the food but when I signed up for the reservation and it asked if I wanted inside or outside dining, I said outside. We got to the restaurant and they said we’d have to wait 30 minutes for a table outside. Why bother with a reservation….?

    The view is beautiful. The menu is small. Entrees do not come with any sides. You have to add them to your order at an extra charge. Service was a bit of a problem. We could not find the wait person after he gave us the bill. Snapper was offered fried or blackened. There should be an offer to have it grilled. I went to several restaurants in the Key West area. And grilled was always an option. Key lime pie was tangy and delicious. Drinks were also good. Plenty of parking and you can make a reservation.

    We got a table outside. The atmosphere was very nice. Out waiter, Terry, was great. Made the night fun. Food was great. Terry had suggestions of appetizers and sauces to go with the fish. Look forward to going back.

    Went for dinner. Seated outside by rail and wind picked up and requested to move behind to avoid direct winds and hostess said she couldn’t move us because it wasn’t the same waitress and it would be a 30 minute wait. We just stayed where we were and no one ever sat at the table behind. Not sure why it was being reserved. That being said we also asked for bread and crackers for the conch soup and they said they didn’t have any. Our waitress was very kind and nice. Food was fair. Not accommodating or customer service friendly, especially for the price. Doubt we will return.

    Sat outside. Took a very long time to get a table after our reservation time and then server was very overwhelmed. Food was good enough, not great. Expensive for what you get. The place was a zoo full of unattended kids. Good place for parents to drink and let their kids go wild. But not a place to go for a quiet meal. We thought a waterside table would be best for escaping the quiet. But then the singer started. Shockingly bad singer. Screeching, nasal voice singing Disney tunes. At first we thought it had to be karaoke but she didn’t stop. She said they hired her and she moved from New York for the job. And the sound system was terrible and very loud. We have heard a lot of great live talent at other restaurants the keys. Cannot imagine why they hired this one from NY. Every table and the servers were quietly cringing as she tried to hit the high notes. So that killed any possibility of a nice waterside ambience. We won’t be going back.
