Square Grouper Bar and Grill

Square Grouper Bar and Grill is OPEN on Mondays January THRU April!! more

A year ago we would have agreed with the other comments below, but beware!!!! This restaurant used to be our favorite restaurant, we must have dined here at least a dozen times. But this year the prices have gone up and the portions and quality have gone down, my husband ordered the square grouper sandwich and received a 4 oz. piece of fish that did not even come close to filling up the bun it came in! Not to mention it cost $16! I ordered the key lime pasta with scallops at a cost of $26!!! For PASTA yeah it had about 6 scallops in it but even the key lime sauce tasted more like plain butter sauce I know key limes can not cost them that much!!! The service was great Anna is a sweetheart!! But in the end I am afraid that the square grouper has been taken off our list. By cutting on quality and raising prices they have lost us as loyal customers. We will mourn their loss..... more

I highly recommend this restaurant. Excellent food and presentation. Actually ate there with a friend that is a chef and owns his own restaurant in Clearwater and he had nothing but great things to say. more

The place is beautiful, the people always remember you, are friendly, professional and make you feel at home, remembered and cared for. The staff doesn't change so they all recognize you and work together as a team and always seem happy to be working. The food is creative and original. The hot fresh baked bread makes my mouth water just thinking about it! The wine selectio is great. The bar is fun! The place is always busy but the wait is never long. Easy to park. Reasonable price. Closed on Sunday and Monday. Casual feel so don't worry about what you are wearing. Some people look incredible and others have on shorts. I highly recommend this place. This is my favorite restaurant in the entire Florida Keys! I try to eat here every week. Everything is good except the cheese fondue. I love the house salad and dressing. The seafood pasta with Key Lime is awesome. Red meat are ""specials"" and are not on the regular menu. Don't miss the louge area in the back! Cons: None! I more

This local restaurant is easy to miss while traveling towards Key West along U.S. 1. Located in a commercial looking building with a big red roof, it is well worth seeking out for those who enjoy great food in a casual but nicely appointed atmosphere. A bar offering an excellent wine list and beer selections is immediatly inside the door. On busy evenings when there is a wait for a table you can get a beverage from the bar and relax in the comfortably furnished waiting room to the rear of the dining area. Be sure to take note of the pictures of the fishermen and the Keys of yesteryear along the walls. An explanation of the odd name is found on the back of the menu! Table settings are simple yet pleasant . Service is very attentive without being overbearing or rushed. Wonderful home made soups and daily specials are listed on the chalk boards in each of the two dining rooms and the servers are happy to recite them for you as well. The menu offers a creative selection of both fresh fruit and green salads, fresh local seafood, pasta, chicken and meat entrees. Portions are generous with attention paid to presentation. If lamb is on the menu when you visit, don't miss it. And the duck is the best to be found anywhere. During the peak lunch and dinner hours the restaurant gets very busy but still provides quality service while maintaining food quality. Prices are moderate . The second dining area can accomodate group seating. This is one of those places that becomes a favorite after the first visit. Once you've tried The Square Grouper you will certainly go back. The restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday and usually closes for a three week vacation during August. Pros: Excellent food and service in a plesant atmosphere. Good wine list. Good parking. Cons: Reservations not taken except for groups. Not a place for very young or misbehaved children. more
