Bob here to update you on an ocean of flavor at Habanos Oceanfront Dining in beautiful Islamorada, Florida! This fabulous restaurant is perched on the water and offers diners a feast for the eyes and taste buds.
In the bubbling beginnings of Habanos, something magical was simmering—delicious flavors just waiting for a splash of excitement! That’s when Eduardo, the American with a heart full of Cuban spirit, and Jorge, the culinary wizard from Cuba, decided to team up. Together, they set off on a wild adventure to reinvent this tasty treasure. With their love for all things delicious and a sprinkle of respect for Cuba’s colorful culture, they transformed into a fabulous fiesta of Cuba’s culinary delights!
As I floated in the delightful atmosphere, surrounded by friendly faces, I couldn’t wait to dive into their culinary wonders.
I decided to indulge in two truly knock-your-flippers-off dishes: the conch steak dinner and the majestic lobster tail dinner. Both were reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food served.
Let’s start with the conch steak—it was an absolute showstopper! Tender and perfectly cooked, the seasoning was a burst of brightness that let the conch’s natural flavor shine like a sunbeam on the water. It came with a colorful side of crispy fries, plantains, and yuca fries—oh my quack, what a delightful mix of textures! Each bite was like a tropical party in my beak.
Let’s not forget the lobster tail, which was as fresh as a morning tide! It was grilled to perfection and lusciously paired with a rainbow of fresh veggies, which added a crunchy crunch to the whole experience. And guess what? Those yuca fries stole the spotlight again! Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside—perfection!
I must give a special shout-out to our server, Luis! This gentleman knows how to make a duck feel welcome. His attentive service and enthusiasm for each dish made our meal even more enjoyable. The entire Habanos team radiated warmth and hospitality, making me feel special and thrilled we stopped by on our way back from the Florida Keys.
It’s a top-notch dining destination with remarkable dishes, a friendly team, and a view that’s enough to make any duck quack with joy.
I can’t wait to return and taste another round of their incredible offerings—who knows what other delicious surprises await?
Remember, reservations are always a good idea, especially during peak hours. Until next time, keep those feathers fluffed and your appetite ready! Quack-tastic dining awaits!
