Golden Rule Seafood

A must-try-seafood market! I always come here for Cherry stone and blue crab. Fresh seafood, friendly staff, easy to find parking spot. Tips: if you come here before 1pm, you get to pick the best blue crab!

We were recommended the Golden Rule by our boat captain at Biscayne National Park. We sat on the patio at the bar. It was very tropical with lots of beachy foliage. Our server was friendly and provided us with quick service. Our food was GREAT! We tried the Mahi Reuben, Snapper tacos, fish dip, and triple citrus gin and tonic. Would definitely come back!

Its a hidden gem in a very busy city, its a little paradise that transports you to a nice little “island “ customer service is excellent food is just a fusion of flavors. We loved it I give our lovely server Cody 10 🌟

Came here on a whim, was in the area and found this place on Google. Oh. My. God. It is absolutely incredible! I ordered the fried calamari and the Captains platter? (May be getting that wrong), but it's incredible! By far, the seasonings they use are amazing!! It makes you want to keep eating, especially on their fries! If they sold buckets of fries, I would buy one! My waiter, Jordan, was so amazing, he even gave me a small container of the seasoning to take home! Its a little pricey, but you're paying for amazing fresh seafood, so really, its amazingly priced! I need to bring my girlfriend here next time, she would love the conch fritters. Highly recommend for date night with this live music too. If I could give it 6 stars, I would! Now let me put my phone down so I can eat more

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently visited Golden Rule Seafood Restaurant in Palmetto Bay, Florida, to celebrate three birthdays, and we couldn't have chosen a better spot! We were a group of 15, including two children, and despite the rainy weather, our decision to sit inside turned out to be perfect. The atmosphere inside was warm and inviting, the service was top-notch, and the food was simply delicious. The steel drum band that plays on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights added a vibrant and festive touch to the entire experience. As for the food, I highly recommend starting with the Bang Bang Shrimp and Calamari—they were absolutely divine! For dinner, I had the Shrimp and Scallop Fettuccine, which was generously portioned and bursting with flavor. My husband enjoyed the Lemon Butter Snapper, which was equally fabulous and also a large portion. Our family, who are regulars at Golden Rule usually sit outside under the large tiki, and we can't wait to try that next time. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a great meal, I highly recommend stopping by Golden Rule Seafood Restaurant. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back!

Me and my fiance just ate here for lunch, he ordered the conch and fries which was really good he loved it, very fresh and hot and seasoned well. I ordered the blackened shrimp Alfredo its better than olive garden and the sauce that they add on top is very delicious nice and sweet. I highly recommend you come try the food and enjoy the music intertainment.

We were a group of four adults with two children under five. It was lunchtime on a Tuesday, so the restaurant wasn’t crowded at all—maybe only three or four other parties. After sitting down, we waited nearly 20 minutes before having to ask someone for a menu. When the server finally arrived, she handed us the menu, and we ordered five items. She took our order without writing anything down. It took almost 30 minutes for our food to arrive. When it finally did, one of the orders was incorrect. We had ordered Cajun Shrimp N' Grits, but instead, we received a pasta dish. We informed our server, and she took it back. We then waited another 30 minutes, during which she repeatedly assured us, "It's just about to be done." However, we couldn’t wait any longer, so we told her we no longer wanted the dish. At that point, both the server and the manager looked visibly frustrated, and the server threw the check onto the table, causing it to fall onto the floor. The woman who served us appeared to be in her 30s. I’m attaching the receipt for the manager to review and take action. We had chosen this restaurant based on a good review, but unfortunately, our experience was far from that.

We were a group of 14 and had an incredible experience at Golden Rule on a Friday night! Special thanks to Courtney for accommodating us and to our server, Camila for the exceptional service! The ambiance was perfect, live music playing (just the right volume too), beautiful scenery, great drinks and delicious food! I personally shared a few appetizers with some friends- Conch Fritters, Tuna Wantons, Blackened Seared Tuna, and the Smoked Fish Dip- all spectacular! Whether you are 2, 4 or 14 people looking for a wonderful outing, highly recommend Golden Rule Seafood!

Came here with the fam on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy! We sat outside and it was nice and cool with the fans. Our server was Don and he was so attentive and friendly. To start we ordered raw oysters and the blackened seared tuna. The oysters (even the small ones) were HUGE! Idk where they source them from but omg they were massive -- yum! The seared tuna was also delicious. The seasoning was just top notch it had great flavor. As my meal I ordered the Greek salad with blackened salmon on top. The portion was great and the salmon was delicious, a nice big fillet. My parents are big fans of the mahi Reuben and they said it was delish as always. My sister ordered the Cajun shrimp and grits. She loved it and I tried it and i agree it was fantastic. It's a heavy meal don't get me wrong but the flavors are delicious. Everything rocked here I can't wait to come back, great seafood spot!

Visited Golden Rule on a Saturday evening and waited about 15 minutes for a table outside. They had such a good atmosphere going on with the live band that it was worth the wait to sit outside instead of inside. I ordered the shrimp and grits as my entree. It was so delicious. The sauce with the bacon went well with the shrimp. I also ordered a mojito that went perfectly with the vibes of the restaurant. Really looking forward to visiting again. I'd probably order the same thing it was that good!

First time visiting. Almost sat inside where there is also a market with various items. I told the host it was our first time and she said, "In that case follow me." She led us outside where there is a Tiki hut surrounded by different green plants and trees. Place was full with the exception of two tables. Started with 2 Mojitos, one classic and one coconut. Both on point! Our waitress, Kelly, gave us a few suggestions. We chose to order the conch fritters which were the best we've had in a long time. My wife had the Lemon butter snapper with broccoli and sweet potato mash. She said it was very good. I had the Cajun shrimp and grits that I'm definitely going back to have again. Big flavor, small pieces of sausage, just the right portion. Nice size shrimp. Finished with a slice of Guava cheesecake that we had to order. I could eat that everyday and twice on Sunday! Felt like we were in the Keys, excellent service by Kelly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Went for Father's Day the bigger tiki hut had live background music that was interactive. The guy was cool and let the kids grab the mallets and help him over certain parts. The shrimp and grits (both Cajun and regular) were delicious. The mango mahi had a flavorful glaze on it with the fresh mango was "chefs kiss" and all the food was well presented. The server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu! Definitely going back!

Miami staple! First time paying a visit and truly had a memorable experience. The vintage vibes in the market felt nostalgic! The service was great and the owner Courtney was very pleasant. Don't miss out on the cities best crab cakes and by far the best conch fritters in town! Our party got to enjoy the honey glazed salmon, shrimp scampi, shrimp and grits and the Cajun Alfredo with chicken! No dish disappointed! Can't wait to visit again and appreciate that although it's known for seafood they have a variety for the meat eaters!

Great spot to eat drink and chill. Gives a key west vibe with the bar and outdoor setup. The live music was great heard some Jack Johnson hits while drinking some good brews. Really enjoyed the food as well as my group. My blackened snapper tacos with mango slaw and the brownie skillet for dessert were so damn good. The lemon butter snapper was delicious as well. Service was not bad, it was like a 15min wait for a table on Saturday at 6:30. We just waited at the bar and were seated in like 10 mins. Really cool inside seafood market as well. Highly recommend and will be coming back

This is a lovely outdoor restaurant with a chiki hut style roof. Multiple fans keep the large area pleasant. The surrounding foliage acts as a wall giving the place a tropical beach vibe. I love it. We had reservations and arrived on time to be seated immediately. Service was spectacular! Drinks were on the small side but at 10 bucks for a martini no one's complaining For appetizers we opted for the fried oysters (yum) and the ceviche (meh). For the entree I had the whole fried snapper. It was on the small side and needed a bit more seasoning, but I would still order it again. It came with a garlic mash and broccolini which unfortunately were cold. My husband has the lobster stuffed with crab which looked delicious and was according to him. The sautéed snapper looked absolutely incredible sautéed in a lemony caper sauce. Dessert was key lime pie (very good). And molten brownie with ice cream which was good but the smallest ever. I super enjoyed this place. For the food, the wonderful service, and the laid back tropical ambience.

Since my last visit a year ago, I found the place had declined in service and in food quality The waitress basically threw the check on my table before I had finished dining, and that was a huge turn off for me. I don't think I'll be returning to this spot

Finally I had the chance to have lunch here and I was so pleased! Kudos to our server, Adon (I believe that is his name), as he was excellent and gave us great suggestions! The restaurant has a very nice fishing decor and you can sit either inside or outside. We decided to sit inside because it was very hot and we had our baby with us. We ordered the tuna wontons as appetizer, baby back ribs and Tropical Mahi Mahi as entrees, and the brownie skillet as dessert. The tuna wontons were delicious and fresh. They had this nice sweet tone because of the sauce. I was in between the tuna poke bowl and the ribs and our server recommended the ribs. I'm glad I listened to him because the ribs had this nice crust due to their dry rub with brown sugar. The ribs were a little tough but the meat was still coming out of the bone. My wife love her Mahi Mahi and even took 2 orders home!!! The brownie skillet was velvety good! Came with vanilla ice cream and a waffle. To drink I had an old fashioned which was awesome and my wife had a spicy watermelon margarita which she loved. In summary, we'll be back and recommend it 100%!!! My apologies for the pictures...we were hungry

I had heard this place recommended many times, and I drive by it almost daily. But it's sort of inauspicious location and knowing it's also a fish market had me questioning if it would be a good restaurant. We decided to try it out today and took my MIL. It was a great as everyone said it was! The ambiance was casual and relaxed and like we were on vacation somewhere. I saw a review that compared it to the Keys and o have to agree. You'd never realize you're sitting on U.S. 1 in Cutler Bay lol. The outdoor seating was under a tiki hut type roof. There were plenty of tables, and it was surrounded by island-y trees. There was a nice long bar on one end of the dining area with two tv's. I will say I would only recommend outdoor seating. The inside restaurant was not that nice and smelled slightly fishy, considering it's right next to the market. But no one was actually sitting there. The outdoor area also had lots of fans, so it felt nice even though it was about 4 pm. And side note, the bathroom (which is inside) was nice and clean which is always a perk!) The food was delicious!! The menu was bigger than I expected, and there were so many tempting choices. We started with the fish dip. It tasted slightly fishier than some I've had at other places, but it was still good. Then I had a cup of lobster bisque which was so flavorful. (This was all soup, no chunks of meat). My main meal was the tacos (blackened Mahi, tiki taco style), and these were perfectly flavored, and the combination of fillings was amazing. Love that it had goat cheese. My husband had the lobster grilled cheese which he was happy with, and my MIL had the Lobster Roll which she said was really good. Our server was really friendly and attentive. The only complaint I had about this restaurant was that it was a little confusing to figure out where to enter for the restaurant. This might partly be bc we had to park on the street in the side. My husband saw a sign that said Restaurant across the gravel parking area so we walked in there. And we walked into what appeared to be a private party area and stood there, but no one acknowledged or helped us. So we walked through and found the main dining area, but even there we were confused about what to do/ where to go and no one helped us. We had to ask someone waking by, and we were told to sit anywhere. We later realized there was a more "main" entrance to this dining area from the U.S. 1 side on the far right (far end of walking from the parking lot). More signs and better guidance from servers/ hosts would have been great. But we were otherwise happy. We'll definitely be back!

Had a fun time here. Unfortunately there isn't a happy hour but I knew ahead of time. We got the conch, coconut shrimp entree, a margarita and a guava mojito. The drinks were ok. The food was much better. The conch is an appetizer but could easily be an entree. The coconut shrimp was good as well.

Excellent food, good bar with a large selection of draft beers. Don't let the location fool you (next to US1) -- once inside , you will think you are in Key Largo. Obviously, this is a place for fresh seafood as it is an annex to the attached Golden Rule Wholesale and Retail Seafood operation that has been there forever. You really can't go wrong on seafood and, for those who aren't into it, they have a decent hamburger (7/10 on my personal scale). Best conch fritters on the planet. Desserts are NOT cardiologist approved.

There are countless reasons why I moved from the frigid northeast to south Florida but right up there with the best of them is Stone crab. This wonderful sustainable delicacy never feels to satisfy and put a huge smile on my face. What a joy to discover that not too far from my home is a fish market that has the best of Stone crab, and other fish that I enjoy so much but this review is not about the market, it is about the restaurant adjoining. Discovering Golden Rule Seafood was kind of like opening up an oyster and finding a priceless pearl. Both the market and the restaurant are the best at what they do and the staff in each make sure the experience is exemplary. The restaurant is sort of interesting because if you park in the lot and walk in, you would think it is just the tiki hut, an outdoor dining patio. With a lively bar and music this is a perfect place to enjoy your dinner or even watch a sports event on the television while eating and having drinks . But don't be fooled. This casual atmosphere can make you forget that you're about to have one of your best meals you've ever eaten. I have now been there a few times and while it is the stone crab, which got me there it is the consistently good food and wonderful service that gets me back. My favorite, of course is Stone crab, but I did decide to explore other menu items. For appetizers so far my favorites have been the conch ceviche and the tuna wontons. I have yet to try the crabcakes, but they are certainly on the agenda. My wife is a fan of the farm salad. The fish tacos are amazing and three blackened red snapper tacos are a wonderful meal and in fact too much to even finish in one sitting. The whole red snapper is so beautifully and tastes as good as it looks. The mango mahi is another favorite as well. If you have room for dessert, the Keylime pie is as good as anywhere I have eaten. If you don't have room, just take it home and eat it later. They have an awesome selection of drinks, my favorites being the sunshine Mojito, and the watermelon, basil martini. They also have frozen drinks for those hot days when only a frozen daiquiri will do. The triple berry sangria is also a treat. Come for the food enjoy the music and the atmosphere. Or sit inside and have quiet conversation while enjoying your meal. Either way this has become an instant favorite now that I am living nearby. So happy to have found it.

Scrumptious food with decent variety. Appetizers seem I little pricey until you see how large the serving size is, one or two could make a meal. The setting on the outside tiki-beach themed patio near the garden almost makes you feel like you're at the beach. Don't let the full parking lot scare you away - park across the street if you have too- there always seems to be a space if you look hard enough- and it will be worth the effort.

Key West vibes in heart of Palmetto Bay! Golden Rule Seafood restaurant has ambience, friendly service and delicious seafood and drinks. Easy ample parking as soon as you walk in you feel like you are in the Florida Keys. Tiki roof, live music, koi ponds and tropical decor. We were seated in 5 minutes and our server was very sweet. We had clam chowder and lobster bisque soups both yummy. Fish ceviche and tuna appetizer so fresh and delicious. The standout was our main dish of fried mahi and fries. Margaritas were very good too. Just coming to The Golden Rule restaurant feels like a little getaway with its Key West vibe. Will definitely come back

There's a reason why this place is always full! First of all it's a big tiki hut where you feel like you're not in Miami anymore. And most importantly, their food is very fresh! You can count on getting a very good serving beautifully presented. They have a huge menu - we tried their buffalo shrimp, fried conch, Maine lobster roll, blackened fish tacos, Cajun shrimp and stone crabs! Plus you can buy all the fresh seafood in their market next door. Great family place!

Nestled away in South of US one they have great fresh food with good prices. The ambience and the patio is really nice and makes you feel like you're kind of in the keys. The SERVICE is always friendly and I've always had a good experience. I recommend this for a good family dinner.

Having longed to visit this landlocked seafood market & restaurant. The entrance was odd into the market side, then No guidance from hostess / server to be seated, in the indoor restaurant seating, or the more interesting space of the outdoor tiki hut. We just wanted to try out some sampler appetizers. The poke tuna wontons were excellent, the fried buffalo shrimp were also tasty. When I asked the waitress to ID were the shrimp came from ? ( Gulf shrimp ? Vietnam farm) I was told they were "Imported" ? Disappointed that the seafood market couldn't ID them or weren't using local Keys or Gulf shrimp. I will next time sit out under the tiki with a 20oz Yingling on draft. Calamari appetizer & grouper dinner.

Finally came to Golden Rule after years of "meaning to go" and several failed attempts. Although I think the ambiance really sells the place and the vibes are nice, I don't see what the hype was about. Stepping into the restaurant makes you feel like you've stepped into a beach tiki restaurant even though there's no water around. We started with the smoked fish dip. It was just your regular smoked fish dip. My husband ordered a shrimp po boy which was a little bland and lacked some flavor to it. I ordered the lobster grilled cheese and was beyond excited for this delicious sounding sandwich only to get a small filling of lobster on burnt toast. Our server was very attentive and kind but the food definitely lacked the flavor to make me want to return. I'll maybe return for beer and vibes but not the food.

One of my top favorite outdoor spots in Miami Dade. They hit all the marks. Excellent food, drinks and service. The massive tiki hut and massive fans create a chill vibe along with the beautiful gardens on the edges. I love bringing friends here but I also love coming solo and sitting at the bar. I always feel welcomed. Below are some of my favorites: Watermelon Basil Martini - watermelon basil Grey Goose w/ muddled fresh basil, agave, with fresh lime juice. Courtney's Mess. - golden fried snapper w/ provolone, caramelized onion, tartar, lettuce, tomato on a home style white toast. Debbie's Drunken Sailor salad - mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers w/ drunken cranberries, candied walnuts, & goat cheese. Fried oysters (7oz) - fresh shucked Gulf oysters lightly dusted & fried. Today: a classic Fried Snapper sandwich with a side of fries with a Cucumber Dill-licious cocktail (so good) This spot is iconic and worth checking out.

Came in to grab a quick bite on my lunch break and I was pleased with my experience. The aesthetic of the outdoor seating area was great and almost made me feel like I was in the keys. The service was also really great. The menu was extensive and had lots of options that sounded amazing. I decided to go with the lobster grilled cheese and a Cesar salad while my friend went with the mahi mahi sliders. I thought the grilled cheese was ok. There was plenty of lobster meat in the sandwich but I wasn't a fan of the overall taste. My friend raved about her sliders though. We decided to get the brownie skillet and I'm glad we did! I was in chocolate heaven to say the least. Although I wasn't a fan of the grilled cheese, I think I would most definitely give this place another try.

Service from employees good.In store very pro,welcoming and at fresh food pro employee asking if we need help.At exterior area,good service,nice area,forestry.Food .... Lobster soup no flavor,coleslaw no flavor,big pieces inside,No creamy.Fritters big and undercooked inside,the cheese lobster sandwich not good.We wasted our money here.We do not return.

Atmosphere was exactly what you would expect and so much fun! The wait staff were friendly with great recommendations. The food was fantastic! We loved the stone crab claws and the fried oysters were perfectly breaded and fried to perfection! Next time we are near Miami we will revisit for sure!

Excellent service, very good food portions and quality. The outdoor ambiance is delightful and enjoyable. We celebrated my cousin's birthday and had a great time. Will return

I had the shrimp and oyster Poboy and my wife had the honey Suraci salmon, I had the calamari as an appetizer, and it was good, but fairly average for calamari. Our entrées were where everything stood out. My Poboy sandwich was probably the best that I've had anywhere. The serving portion was large and the taste was delicious. My wife said her salmon was very well prepared and just had a slight bit of heat from the Sriracha. Our server was very attentive and everything arrived in a timely fashion and was very warm. He was top notch, even though he was very busy that evening.

The fried mahi tacos were good, you need to eat them quick or they get soggy. The atmosphere was enjoyable. The mango mahi had hard pieces of rice in it and could have had more flavor but the fish itself was delicious. The service was quick and the atmosphere was relaxing. The key lime pie was pretty good, would like it more tart but it was not bad.

The wife and i came in to buy some bakkafrost salmon for dinner at the Market ... asked for 2- center cut fillets ... the only thing they had in the Counter was a tiny tail and a Whole side of salmon.. i was told i could have the tail end or the Head end.... At the price i'm paying which it pretty high $22 the lb i should be able to have what i am asking for...I request to speak with a manager who came out and said "i can't sell everyone the center of the fish, then i'm left with the tails or fronts of the filet. I can't even use them for our restaurant." So i said it's ok to sell me these piece's of fish at your high price... Sounds to me like poor use of your product and maybe find a use for the odds and ends of your fish... Maybe make some smoked dip out of them cut it in some cubes and sell it in the pasta it the restaurant... He replied i understand what your saying but its from the owners... We drove quite a way and left with no fish... Its sad... I've been coming her for 30 yrs....but today was probably one of the last times i come...

MIKE WAS AMAZING! We were truly impressed with his customer service and knowledge. What a great first experience for us as we are from out of town having a fish fry/ crab boil. Thanks for making it easy for us.

Mike. Thanks for the great service. Definitely will return. You attention was unmeasurable and food was great

We sat outside on a gorgeous December night and they had live music and it was a very festive atmosphere-- perfect way to start our vacation! I got the shrimp and grits and there were two options-- normal and Cajun and I opted for the normal but wish I had gone spicy. Flavor was good but would have liked a little kick. Servers were pleasant and drinks were tasty. A nice experience all around.

We've been several times and today's visit was an unmistakable 5 stars. The menu looks like there've been some changes. We started with a bottle of wine a very reasonable $24 Malbec. It was delicious. We had the po' boy and cajun shrimp and grits. I was full on the grits about 2/3 of the way through and I just had to finish it was so good. A hint of spice, creamy and so flavorful. Our wonderful server Kim told us they do the same sauce over pasta if you're not a grits fan, but I can't understand people who aren't fans of grits. They just haven't had good grits and these were good. The po' boy came with sweet potato fries and was tasty. It was a little short on the tartar sauce but we requested some extra and that fixed the issue. Definitely think it could've used more tartar to begin with. There were a couple of singer/guitarists who sang beautiful melodies you can sing with. Not too loud that you have to scream to be heard but loud enough to enjoy. A Friday night in Miami so we waited for a table but not too bad. Maybe 15 minutes and that's impressive for a Friday. We arrived about 7:30p. We finished dinner with a salted caramel cheesecake which was so good I can't even describe it!

Loved this place!! Such a cute ambiance with the outside tiki bar. Perfect to get a drink, watch a game, with some fresh seafood. I had the fiesta shrimp. The shrimp was plump and juicy and I loved the aioli sauce on top. My friend got a fried snapper sandwich, which he said was delicious. You need to stop into the market after and get the seasoned shrimp, and of course, the mustard dipping sauce! Service was friendly and welcoming.

Want seafood that's fresh and will make you saw WOW in your mouth while eating ? Golden Rule Seafood is the place to go. Great ambiance outside with TV"s by the bar area and you also have an indoor seating area, which also happens to be the fish market, so prepare your nostrils for the scent of fish. Otherwise, outdoors is their main seating area and is great. Service was great for the group size we had, 15 people total, not 1 order had issues and the food came out fresh From drinks, appetizers and main entrees, you can't find something that isn't delicious. Obviously you have to like and enjoy seafood. Fried conch ? Delicious, Buffalo Shrimp ? I'll take 2 orders please. Clam Chowder ? Who needs to go to New England when you have Golden Rule Seafood. Everything mentioned previously was ordered and delicious. I was between their sandwiches and main entrees and decided to go with the Cajun Shrimp and Grits, and wow, am I glad I did. Creamy, flavorful, not really spicy ( add hot sauce or something extra) and good amount of shrimp. If I had bread with it I would have made sure to scrub the plate.. yes it's that good. I will definitely come back again to tackle on more entrees and might order a Cajun to go.

My hubby and I had another fantabulous outting at Golden Rule Seafood. Our exceptional experiences are magnified by ELIZABETH which is out of this world! She is kind, funny, attentive and just wonderfully made! We want to clone her and make Miami GREAT again!

I don't know why I waited so long to try this place but I can guarantee I'll be back many times. They have a full bar with a great drink selection, fun names and great flavor. I ordered a Mahi Rachel and it was perfect. Can't wait to come back and try all the other things in the menu. I also love the fact that there's a seafood market in the front. There is restaurant seating in the back of the market but it looks kind of old and grungy. We sat outside underneath the great tiki which. There's actually another tiki bar to the right of the bar as well. That one is more private and a little smaller. There's also a little stage for live music.

Great seafood. A good locals place with affordable prices and quality food. Attached to a fish market this place was known for fresh seafood before ever becoming a locals restaurant.

We had an exceptional meal tonight. Snapper in a butter sauce. They apparently needed a few more servers as our waitress was definitely over taxed. This is the time to eat outside. The weather was perfect. The band Jake on the Lake was the best

We were a large party and our server was great. Professional, friendly, helpful. Food was ok but nothing special. The cheekie hut patio was perfect cool breeze, traffic noise kept to a minimum by dense bushes. Great place for cocktails.

Codie our server was amazing! The food was outstanding! Loved the options of inside and outside dining. The hostess with the beautiful long braids was very helpful! The food runner was very nice as well! All staff had a great attitude, very appreciative of our experience.

After church lunch and tried two new menu items and it was off the chain. The Lobster Wedge and Lobster Fried Rice (two new items) were just fantastic. Kudos to the Executive Chef for making this recipes. As always service was great, Ms March was friendly and got us a great table. Come and enjoy the ambiance and just relax with the family and enjoy. Love this place and I know you will two.

Ambiance and service was 5 stars. I felt I was on the water in key west. The live guitar was great and relaxing. The food was all mediocre. The kids loved the grilled Mahi Mahi with Fettuccine Alfredo. My Lobster roll had a good amount but over powered with celery. The sweet potato fries were perfect! The conch ceviche was mostly tons of tomato and cucumber. The smoked fish dip wasn't smoky. The Mango Mahi Mahi had barely mango sauce. The fish was super fresh and well prepared Over all I'd go again and try the livestream stuffed with crab next. The kids were crazy for the koi fish .

I grew up in Miami and at some point lived not far from the Golden Rule. Even when I lived further away, I would make it my business to go there for my fish and stone crabs. It was only a grocery and fish store then, but with the best and freshest seafood. The fish mongers were some of the best I ever encountered. Now to my surprise there's a whole restaurant attached, and it did not disappoint. I had the lemon butter snapper and it was A+ delicious. Our appetizer of tuna wontons was a great starter. I can't say enough about the food. To finish the key lime pie, a Florida staple was also A+. We were so lucky the rain kept people away and on a Friday night, we did not have to wait for a table. The outdoor seating was perfect because I'm not a fan of a/c. I loved the ambiance.

First of all I love the atmosphere, the lush landscape and tropical vibe are a nice backdrop. The food is very fresh and my meal was delicious. I had the fish tacos, and fish dip as an appetizer, I could have their fish dip every day of the week. The service was exceptional, and the bar service was quick. Love this place.

we wanted to take a relative out for a birthday and she suggested coming here. I like the tiki hut vibe of the place. The wait staff was knowledgeable and helpful and came around enough to not be bothersome. The fish was fresh and nice. I loved the tropical tacos with fish and a mango slaw. We also had the salmon with the mango slaw and it was tasty. The fish spread was a little salty for my taste, but it wasn't terrible. The only downside was the same one that's prevalent everywhere: it was a little pricy. It's not something I could do regularly, but for a special occasion it was great. I'd be delighted to go back when I'm back near cutler bay.

Will return and highly recommend Food was amazing; service was excellent and the live music was a nice touch. The buffalo shrimp was so good.

Outside atmosphere is charming. Drinks are fun and food is always great. Staff is friendly and when the owner ask how everything is - that's tops the visit.

Eh, waitresses don't look or act Enthused. Food was average. Not Much taste. Lobster bisque was good. Would not go back there, just for the market is all.

Great stone crab claws. Service is friendly and prompt. Good bar service. Nice outside location

The Golden Rule restaurant is a nice location miles from Key West Florida and offers a wide variety in American seafood. This is a pub style restaurant and seating is under tiki huts . Great location for private dining or traditional dining. The shrimp and conch fritters are delicious as well as the fish and fries. They offer a fresh market as well and you can have your meat selection packed to go. Reasonably priced and a must try when you are in the Cutler Bay Area.
