Island Room Restaurant and Sand Bar

My wife and I recently visited Cedar Key celebrating our 3rd anniversary. I made reservations at the Island Room for a nice dinner and we were not disappointed. Crab bisque is a favorite of ours, and we agreed that theirs is the best we've had. Service was a bit slow, but we did not mind, as we enjoyed the ambience and architecture of the dining room. My duck confit entree was phenomenal, accompanied by some beautifully seared vegetables and potatoes au gratin with toasty cheddar baked on top. My wife's lobster ravioli was a little underwhelming, as the homemade pasta was tough and chewy on the edges, but the flavor was excellent. We took a piece of chocolate shortbread to-go and enjoyed a delicious late night snack from the comfort of our hotel room. I recommend the Island Room to anyone looking for something a little more upscale on Cedar Key.

By far this is the best restaurant in Cedar Key. I had the Red Snapper special dish with potatoes and steam vegetables, it was absolutely delicious, every bite tasted like a piece of heaven. Bread pudding for dessert was so light, fluffy and it melts in your mouth.

So the island Room Restaurant and Sand Bar is the place to go when celebrating an Anniversary Birthday Etc. Upscale dining food was really good we had escargot as an appetizer also baked brie with a cranberry mango chutney also Chicken Portofino and Seafood pasta they use fresh pasta in there dishes They make everything a la cart so as you know that means it's made to order nice and fresh! Staff very friendly it seemed they were short staffed this evening. Everybody pulled together and was checking on tables nice to see everyone working together so patrons had the best experience. Great Place!

Located in the bottom of the Cedar Cove. Every seat has a great water view. The food is first class. Full bar and good selection of wines. Reservations recommended!!

This was BY FAR the BEST restaurant on the island! There was only one other restaurant on the island we didn't get to try (on our anniversary weekend). But we had higher bills @ other locations that were NOT as great of quality! This restaurant is the cleanest/nicest, most professionally staffed & excellent food/dining experience!! I had a seafood pasta & my husband had the lamb. Both were prepared to perfection! We also had key lime tart & a bread pudding for dessert that were equally exquisite. This is the one restaurant I will tell everyone going through Cedar Key that they MUST have!!
