Marker 88
A waterfront restaurant on Plantation Key, open since 1967. It is famous for bay sunsets, a long dock, and swing tables, and is ideal for seafood at dusk.
Marker 88 is on Plantation Key in Islamorada and opened in 1967. After renovation it kept the original green chairs and tables and added a new dock. It faces Florida Bay, and the long dock, beach swing tables, and live music make it a popular sunset spot. Dinner reservations are recommended. The menu focuses on local seafood, with popular dishes including tuna nachos, grouper piccata, blackened mahi-mahi, and hogfish, as well as coconut shrimp and lobster pizza. Some reviewers find the food slow to arrive and the flavor average, so it is better suited to a drink while watching the sunset. It is on US Route 1 at MM 88.
