Restaurants near Everglades

Great night celebrating new friendships. Our server Izzy was wonderful, timely and you could tell she enjoys her job. Food was on point as well as cocktails. Thanks for a fabulous night out.

We have eaten here twice. The fish was delicious. My husband had the grouper and I had mahi mahi. We enjoyed the carribean influence. The bread made out of casaba flour which was unbelievable good. It was special for me because I am gluten free and I never get bread. There are so many options for gluten free people too.

We had a friend recommend Pierre’s and we decided to make a reservation. We went before sunset. It was beautiful. Food was amazing. We had tuna tar tar appetizer, snapper and gnocchi for dinner. Crème brûlées for dessert. Will definitely go back. Everything was great.

The restaurant has great views overlooking the water. If you can go around sunset, it is amazing. As for the service, everyone was helpful and cheerful. They were eager to help and accommodated everything we asked for. I ordered the spare ribs and my wife ordered the scallops. The ribs were very good. The portion was good and the side of mashed potatoes and green beans were very good as well. The scallops were okay. They were slightly overcooked and there were 4 smaller sized scallops so the portion was not the best but everything was good.

Atlantic’s Edge is an interesting place for dinner. It’s located in Cheeca Lodge which is a gated resort. So in order to enter you need to show proof of your dinner reservation, and apparently you need to arrive around the time of your reservation. So it’s a bit off putting in terms of feeling welcome or appreciated. Similar experience at the host stand. The greeting was lukewarm at best. As to the food and service, overall the food was good. The dishes were nicely prepared and seemed very much as described. But I wouldn’t say that any of the food was delicious or extraordinary. One of the dishes we tried was the blackened grouper. It lacked any seasoning and certainly didn’t show the char typically associated with “blackened” style of cooking. Food temps were also a bit off. Items were warm or room temp. So no cool crisp salads or hot entrees. This was our second trip to Atlantic’s Edge and I’m not sure we will repeat.
