Let me tell you, as a South Florida foodie, Sunset Grille and Raw Bar in Marathon Key was a revelation. Staying right next door at the Knights Key Inn, it was practically criminal not to try it. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint!
Fresh Seafood Paradise:
My first bite was pure heaven – the 7-Mile Lobster Bites. Imagine these tender, juicy morsels that melt in your mouth like butter. Pure decadence! We then followed it up with the Chilled Shrimp with Avocado Salsa. The shrimp were cooked to perfection, and the avocado salsa added a cool, refreshing contrast. But the real showstopper? The Boom Boom Shrimp. Let me tell you, the name doesn’t lie. It was an explosion of flavor in every bite!
Drinks, Service, and a Pool Surprise:
The service at Sunset Grille was fantastic. Our bartender, Jordan, was a real pro, whipping up delicious cocktails while keeping the drinks flowing. The next day, we decided to check out the indoor seating, and guess what? It’s right next to a pool! Yes, you read that right. A pool! You can take a dip to cool off or simply relax by the poolside bar with a drink in hand.
A Feast for the Eyes and the Stomach:
We couldn’t resist indulging in some sushi, and the Spider Roll did not disappoint. It was a feast for the eyes, beautifully presented, and more than enough for two (especially after those amazing appetizers!). We also tried the Chilled Crab Dip, and let me tell you, it was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious.
An Oceanfront Gem (with a Hint):
The menu at Sunset Grille is vast, offering something for every palate. From their extensive Cruzan Rum specialty cocktails to their impressive sushi selection, there’s something to satisfy every craving. They also boast a stunning view of the sunset, thanks to their location right at the foot of the 7 Mile Bridge.
Insider Tip for Fellow Foodies:
Finding Sunset Grille can be a bit tricky. Here’s a hot tip for your fellow South Florida foodies: look for the turn onto Knights Key Blvd. about a quarter-mile before you reach the 7 Mile Bridge. Take a left and follow the signs. You won’t regret it!
So, if you’re ever in Marathon Key and looking for a place with amazing food, refreshing drinks, and a relaxed, oceanfront vibe, look no further than Sunset Grille and Raw Bar. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
