Located in the heart of Islamorada at mile marker 81.6, the Morada Bay Keys Beach Café & Bar lays amidst a beautiful palm-lined beach, overlooking blue waters, with walking paths through tropical flowers. You’ll find inside and outside bars and dining areas, live unique entertainment, spectacular sunsets and a large child-friendly beach with cozy Adirondack chairs.

The Café is conceived to evoke the feel of a beach café where the Hawaiian and Californian surfers and sailboarders would relax after a day on the water. As such, its walls are adorned with surfboards, longboards, sail and kite boards, as well as many original 60’s surf posters.

The Café’s menu showcases the freshest in local seafood and produce, the fare is both innovative and eclectic. The Café’s bar and wine offerings are equally noteworthy. The Café is open for dining seven days a week from 11 AM to 10 PM.

We loved the place but the attention of the host was terrible, very bad experience. We arrived without a reservation and she told us that there were no more tables available if we didn't have a reservation (more than half of the tables were empty). We left and I went to the page to make the reservation, there was immediate availability to make the reservation and I made it, when I come back I show the reservation to another host because she was busy and she let us in and we were telling her that if we could sit at a table closer to the sea because she took us to the worst table of all, and the first host came running after us and told us no, that we could only sit there, not at any other table (there were more than 4 tables that we wanted available) they were empty the whole time we were there, they were never occupied, she just didn't want Us to sit there. Very bad experience, very bad service only from the host, the waiters and the rest of the experience was very pleasant !

Was served wrong type of fish and had to send back. Our server did not tell us specials upon arrival either (we heard then told to another table after we ordered).

Still the same beautiful venue it’s always been. Apparently it’s under a new ownership and they have a much smaller menu. Food was good.

This place used to be one of the nicest places to eat in the keys. We made a reservation for 7:30. We were seated at a nice table and honestly you can not beat the view. Now here comes the “ but” part, our server was very nice and friendly but it took almost 30 minutes before she even came to the table for our drink order, she took our order and came back with our two drinks and appetizers quite quickly. We finished both of our drinks and our entire appetizer and waited at least 45 minutes before she even came back to the table to take our actual food order, which again took a large amount of time. When we finally got the food it was cold to slightly warm and really was not great. We then finished our entire meal and waited another 45 minutes for our waitress to come check on us. I actually had to track her down to get the check and then it took 15 minutes to even get it processed. I am a Florida Native and I have been going to the keys for years. I have eaten at The Beach Cafe for years. This is the first bad review that I have ever left and honestly I will not be going back to the beach cafe anytime soon. I hated to write this review but it needed to be said.
