Reviews for Island Room Restaurant and Sand Bar in Cedar Key, FL
What a great place to visit in this quaint "drinking town with a fishing problem". Upscale food and service where you can still... wear your flip flops and shorts. The menu is focused on what they do best. If you drop in (reservations recommended) you MUSTtry the grits appetizer. It is a delicious block of fried grits in the most heavenly BACON gravy you will ever taste. Oh yeah,and a half dozen grilled local shrimp too. Yum! Did I mention the bacon gravy? They need to bottle and sell this stuff! Loadsof fresh, local seafood on the menu too, cooked to perfection. We come back to CK at least 5 or 6 times each year and this isalways a stop. Don't miss it and enjoy! If you found this review helpful, please hit like so other will see it too. Cheers!???? Read more

We celebrated our 33rd anniversary here enjoying two delicious chef prepared dinners. I had the "BBB Shrimp" (bourbon bacon... shrimp) and my husband had the Grilled Shrimp Royale. The shrimp were a generous size, my pilaf rice and his potatoes and ourvegetables were cooked perfectly and were flavorful. The evening we went it was reservations only. The west side of therestaurant is lined with tall windows giving a lovely view of the water. Read more

The food was absolutely amazing! So much flavor in every bite. I'm so glad we went here and we were glad to be able to get a... table. Its best to call and make reservations it seems but we made the res at the last minute and still got in. The view is sopretty. You can see the water no matter where you sit. We had a great time.

We found this gem at the end of our day-trip in Cedar Key. Having spent a lot of time around chefs and whole foods I often leave... a dining experience wanting more. However, it is clear this chef is an artist in the kitchen. The passion for his cooking shinesthrough every detail. From first bite to last the dishes are balanced, rich and feature great knife skills. All the ingredientshere are bursting with freshness. As if the food wasn't enough, the view and ambience encourages you to stay all night. Finally,it's all at a great price, skip Olive Garden or Longhorn and pay the same price for some real food.
