Thirsty Mermaid - (Near Key West, FL)

Vicky Bigio Has a truly rustic feel. Food was great! The atmosphere was jovial.

Rosa Teng The view is nice and staff are very friendly. We were here for the breakfast, their Benedict eggs were really good! Though they can get pretty busy in the morning, but I think the service, food, and view are worthy for the wait (and price).

Michael Ocasio Excellent Mexican food. The crab lump meat guacamole was delicious. Not expensive. Fair prices considering you sit right across ft Lauderdale Beach. Excellent view sitting outside. Great drinks as well Sangria was a hit. Waitress showed excellent service. Definitely would eat here again.

Dennis M Cool vibe to walk through. Some neat custom shops and standard tourist shops. Parking is tricky. We found it better to park a little ways and walk. We ended up eating at the Riverwalk restaurant which was really good and speedy service for it being almost full. Great place to stretch the legs and grab some food.

Eric We have been here a few times and the food is always good. They sometimes have a DJ/singer that plays good music, which always makes it fun, although sometimes the music is a bit too loud. I think lunch and dinner music should be loud enough to hear and enjoy, but not so loud that you have to raise your voice to have a conversation, which is the only reason I gave it 4 stars for atmosphere since thats just my opinion. But the food and service are always great! We had the fish and chips, french dip, and the salmon and they were all delicious! The cole slaw was especially good, and thats not as easy to do as it sounds. Some make it too sweet, some make it too bland, but the Tidehouse makes it just perfect. Prices are comparable to other water-side restaurants in the area, and as I said, the staff is always friendly and the food always comes out hot and tasty. We always sit outside so we have a great view of the water and the boats sailing by, and the complimentary valet takes the stress out of trying to find parking. In addition to that, they have an elevator that takes you right from the valet station up to the restaurant, which was very helpful for my disabled mother. The only suggestion I would make would be to perhaps put a little less breading on the fish for the fish and chips. But we have enjoyed it each time we have come here and would definitely recommend it!

The atmosphere is a perfect blend of cozy and aviation-chic, with big windows that let you watch planes come and go while you sip your coffee or enjoy a delicious meal.

Their coffee is rich and smooth, and the pastries taste like they came straight from a bakery in the clouds.
