Located in the heart of Islamorada at mile marker 81.6, the Morada Bay Keys Beach Café & Bar lays amidst a beautiful palm-lined beach, overlooking blue waters, with walking paths through tropical flowers. You’ll find inside and outside bars and dining areas, live unique entertainment, spectacular sunsets and a large child-friendly beach with cozy Adirondack chairs.

The Café is conceived to evoke the feel of a beach café where the Hawaiian and Californian surfers and sailboarders would relax after a day on the water. As such, its walls are adorned with surfboards, longboards, sail and kite boards, as well as many original 60’s surf posters.

The Café’s menu showcases the freshest in local seafood and produce, the fare is both innovative and eclectic. The Café’s bar and wine offerings are equally noteworthy. The Café is open for dining seven days a week from 11 AM to 10 PM.

    Unfortunately we have a bad server who forgot our first drink order which we didn’t receive for over 40 minutes. Then had to go to the bar to get our second round. They forgot my dinner. My wife’s came out and I had to then after 10-15 minutes ask for mine. They finally switched out to a new server. The venue is great and the ambient e the same but we had a bad experience

    We loved the place but the attention of the host was terrible, very bad experience. We arrived without a reservation and she told us that there were no more tables available if we didn't have a reservation (more than half of the tables were empty). We left and I went to the page to make the reservation, there was immediate availability to make the reservation and I made it, when I come back I show the reservation to another host because she was busy and she let us in and we were telling her that if we could sit at a table closer to the sea because she took us to the worst table of all, and the first host came running after us and told us no, that we could only sit there, not at any other table (there were more than 4 tables that we wanted available) they were empty the whole time we were there, they were never occupied, she just didn't want Us to sit there. Very bad experience, very bad service only from the host, the waiters and the rest of the experience was very pleasant !

    Was served wrong type of fish and had to send back. Our server did not tell us specials upon arrival either (we heard then told to another table after we ordered).
