After a long day
of kayaking and enjoying Bahia Honda State Park, our group of Tropical Ospreys
headed to Skipper’s Dockside restaurant in Key Largo for dinner. Everyone was
ready to enjoy dinner as a group on our last night in Florida. It was Dom’s 21st
birthday, an occasion he had been anticipating and planning since January and
was excited to celebrate in the Florida Keys. The drinks, alcoholic or not,
seemed to be enjoyed by everyone.
For dinner, the
hamburgers with specialized toppings and fresh fish tacos seemed to be a hit
with our group. The Philly cheesesteak flatbread was apparently not reminiscent
of this famous Philly favorite, but was found to be tasty by some members of
our group. I found the mango slaw to be tasty. However, don’t fill up on
dinner, because the desserts at Skipper’s Dockside are delicious. The flourless
chocolate cake was rich and decadent, almost too chocolatey, so I recommend it
only to true chocoholics. Some other group members tried the coconut banana
pudding with rum raisin ice cream and were pretty satisfied with their choice.
The restaurant
has outdoor seating, with a view of a marina. The island-style music was live
and gave a nice beachy vibe to the restaurant. The décor was also in line with
the beachy style that is commonplace in the Florida Keys. The restaurant also
allows dogs on their patio and our table entertained ourselves by making
friends with a dog at the neighboring table who was treated to a special meal
of her own.
Our group was
split between two tables, and ours received dinner well before the other table.
We were finished with our dessert before the other group even finished dinner.
Fortunately, Skipper’s Dockside has a nice sitting area, covered in sand, with
chairs around a faux fireplace for people to enjoy. In addition, games of corn
hole entertained us while the others finished eating.

I had the fish tacos too and they were great! The drinks were also very good and the live music made the night even better. The view of the pool and docks also definatley helped add to the scenery of our dinner.
ReplyDeleteThis was one of my favorite places we ate at. I loved the outdoor aspect and I especially loved that chocolate cake. It was nice to work off what we ate with a little game of corn hole while listening to live music. A great way to end our last night in the Keys.
ReplyDeleteIt really was a great place to celebrate my 21st birthday! The burger I had was amazing! The atmosphere of the restaurant was very relaxed and the love music was nice to listen to as we waited for our food
