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. After booking your dining reservation, don't miss out booking your sunset cruise by clicking here: https://solewatersports.com/trips/tropical-sunset-cruise/

I found the food mediocre and it was bar food. We ordered calamari for an appetizer and it was very greasy. Husband ordered a pina colada which tasted strange. I think a premade mixture. I ordered boiled shrimp and a baked potato. Shrimp tasted like they had been frozen and were very salty. The baked potato tasted like it was made hours prior. Husband ordered mahi mahi that was loaded on top with capers, rice that was tasteless and limp vegetables. It was very noisy and what we thought would be a casual but nice restaurant was a bar with a restaurant

The high prices of their menu dosen't meet the standards of a fine dining restaurant which is what I was expecting. If they dont wish to prepare their food properly and wow their customers then don't charge the high prices. Serve pub food instead which might work better for them.

Eric the bartender was excellent! Also, the icing on the cake was when Scott Walker showed up!! I have been watching his fishing show (Into the Blue) for years! I got to meet him, shook hands, and talked a little about fishing. Maybe one day he’ll take me out fishing and show me how it's done! Every time I go by I'll be sure to stop in for a bite to eat and a beer in hopes of meeting him again. Thanks

Waiter was more concerned with this eating outside than us. Rarely refilled our drinks or asked how we were doing. One large party was sat behind us that made us feel even less important as they were waited on hand and foot meanwhile my husband and I could barely get any additional orders in. Decided to not order drinks and dessert because of this. Expected a better experience, food was great at least
