Wahoo's At Whale Harbor

Big-ass seafood and boat dock complex in Islamorada.


What we had:

I had the grilled mahi sandwich--although my fish was burnt, the non-burnt parts tasted nice and the fillet hadn't dried out too much. The bun was kinda wimpy (just a generic grocery store burger bun) and there was no dressing on the sandwich. Ok, now that I'm spelling it out, this wasn't a great sandwich, but I was starving and it was chilly on the deck, so I wanted to choke it down and get out of there.

My DH had a burger, which he seemed to enjoy.

We took the NY escapee, and she liked her chicken ceasar salad and loved her cheese fries (whale fries on the menu).



Décor:

We sat on the back deck overlooking the boats. It was kinda windy & cold in the shade that day, and I was already aggravated.


Service:

So-so.


Overall impressions:

This place is huge. Wahoo's itself is pretty large, with a good sized deck and a separate connector walkway/bar/seating area leading to the (2 stall only!!) bathroom. On the other end of the connector is a seafood buffet. Looks like a racuous place to grab a beer, but i'm not sure if i would like to stay long enough to pee. The food was serviceable but not special.
