This was our first visit to the Island Room Restaurant. We have been to Cedar Key a few times and keep trying restaurants new to us. The restaurant is small and while comfortable is more “up scale” compared to other restaurants in the area. The servers were friendly. We started with appetizers, steamed clams and andouille sausage. The clams were very good. The sausage was good but nothing special and the serving was small. My wife ordered the BBQ shrimp and I ordered the lobster ravioli and we shared a Caesar salad. The presentation of the food was great except the Caesar Salad was wilted and a little brown. My wife could not eat it. The BBQ shrimp was good the Au gratin potatoes were not good and my wife could not finish them. The Lobster Ravioli had very little lobster in them and had an acidic / citrus bite that was not flavorful and did not match the lobster. The prices at this restaurant are in the 5 star range and the food did not come close to the price. I could not recommend this restaurant based on our experience. We used email to make our reservation.

Absolutely amazing. I wanted a number of items on the menu. The server made a request to the chef and he agreed to make me a four course meal mixing up 6 different items from the menu. It was unbelievably good. I let the chef choose which items to give me. I started with multiple types of oysters. This was followed by their shrimp specialties. I had some escargots. Finally, he finished up with Lobster Ravioli. Great server and great chef. I will go back tomorrow.

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 MUST try 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! Loads of 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 is always a stop. Don’t miss it and enjoy!

Great food. Service was a little lacking.. My wife’s Caesar salad wasn’t good at all . Dressing tasted like balsamic. Just a weird vibe there. Not very welcome

We came here with friends for brunch on Easter Sunday. What a fantastic meal, service and view! The menu was over the top offering mimosas and bloody Mary’s along with items like duck hash, beef brisket w potatoes, onions and eggs, traditional eggs and grits breakfast and much more. The entire south side windows offered stunning views of the Gulf.

Best dinner on the island. The food was phenomenal. The service was a little slow but everyone was friendly. I the food is well worth the wait.

You sit by windows overlooking the Gulf, birds all around & see dolphins swim by (if you watch closely).

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 our vegetables were cooked perfectly and were flavorful. The evening we went it was reservations only. The west side of the restaurant is lined with tall windows giving a lovely view of the water.

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 so pretty. You can see the water no matter where you sit. We had a great time.
