Marker 88

Nestled on Plantation Key in the Village of Islamorada, Marker 88 has been a waterfront landmark since 1967. The restaurant blends the Keys' maritime heritage with inventive seafood dishes such as Lobster Curry, Snapper Ceviche, and the signature White Cap grilled fish. Diners can also enjoy the Heat Wave shrimp tacos, fresh guacamole, and the iconic Pineapple Coconut Margarita, while the Grand Poobah cocktail offers a playful nod to local lore. The menu showcases locally sourced fish, stone crab, and key lime pie made from the freshest key limes. Marker 88’s open‑air dining deck faces the Atlantic, providing sunset views that complement the relaxed, tiki‑style décor of the bar and the breezy beachside patio. Inside, nautical accents and reclaimed wood create a casual yet refined atmosphere, perfect for families, couples, and larger groups. The 88 Boutique offers branded apparel, craft sodas, and souvenir key lime pies, with an online shop for those who leave the Keys empty‑handed. Hours are 11 AM‑9 PM Monday‑Thursday, 11 AM‑10 PM Friday and Saturday, and 11 AM‑9 PM Sunday. Reservations are recommended, especially for sunset seating. Whether you’re hunting for a casual lunch, a romantic dinner, or a venue for weddings and events, Marker 88 delivers fresh flavors, friendly service, and a true taste of the Florida Keys.
