Delightful laid-back atmosphere. Definitely a good spot for locals and families to enjoy a breeze by the water or a nice sunset. Portions were relatively generous. Food was nothing special, but it definitely served its purpose. Lots of families and people just coming to have a chill time. Would definitely recommend for a casual get together with friends. Wouldn’t necessarily come here for a special occasion or looking for anything spectacular.

Great vibe, casual outdoor atmosphere with music playing by the boats. Lots of delicious seafood at a good price. Fried fish isn’t oily at all. Recommend the grouper. Coconut shrimp good but not amazing, same with seafood salad, probably wouldn’t get again. Great service, don’t forget to get your parking validated in lot 72 across the street!

OMG, the food at Monty’s Coconut Grove was absolutely delicious! We started with the gator bites—they tasted just like chicken and were a fun and tasty appetizer. Our meal included fresh oysters, flavorful Cajun shrimp Alfredo, and a perfectly cooked NY sirloin steak. Although we didn’t try any of the specialty drinks, they looked amazing and are definitely on our list for next time. The atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. The DJ played great music that was clean and appropriate for children, making it a fantastic spot for families. The waterfront setting added to the charm, providing beautiful views and a relaxing ambiance. If you’re in the area and looking for a place with great food, a welcoming environment, and family-friendly entertainment, Monty’s Coconut Grove is the place to go!

One of our all time favorite spots. Everything j the menu is perfect and well seasoned. Good cocktails and very hospitable staff. We always get the raw oysters and the loaded seafood roll. Can’t ask for much more than this.

Food was OK. Grilled oysters weren't bad. Cazuela de Mariscos was good. Coco flan was good. Service was quite slow. Didn't give us a serving spoon whem we said we wanted to share the dish.

Very tropical restaurant or sport bar with a DJ playing mostly tropical and Latino music very good by the way. Service was great and food too, delicious. It’s big and very popular, in front of a Marina, we loved it. They validate your parking for 3 hours told us.
