We went to celebrate my 40th birthday, and I felt celebrated from the moment I walked in by everyone from the hostess to our server to the chef who came out during service. We brought our own wine - a special 40 year old bottle! Which our server decanted for us right away. Cocktails while we waited for the wine to breathe were delicious, and the butter lettuce and escargot were out of this world! I had the yellowtail snapper special, which was huge and so tasty! The slaw on top to the fish, yummmm!! My boyfriend got the surf and turf, which was so good he almost forgot to share with me! The birthday crème brûlée was a perfect finish. This place was a perfect celebration spot for the two of us. Thank you, Pierre’s! Oh and the sunset wasn’t too bad either!! read less

Something even 2-3 times during our trip and enjoyed it every time, but not this year. The food quality is not the same. I ordered scallops with truffle gnocchi that was very chewy and not very appetizingly plated.
My 17 year old had 2 bites of his chillian sea bass and said that he can’t eat it since it was really salty. Lobster tail my husband ordered was rubbery. Such a disappointment. This restaurant has a great location and used to be such a gem. The chef dropped the ball this year. read less

The decor alone sweeps you away to another continent with their heavy wooden doors and wooden frame accents, imported from what looks like Bali.

Reservations are a must if you want to experience the full menu but there is plenty of seating in the bar with a limited menu that is delightful.

For this trip, we sat upstairs in the formal dining room at a small table for two. The balcony offers outside dining but being that we live in Florida year round, the cool temps inside were much more appealing. I had the Florida Lobster Curry which was a feast for the eyes, although being a total curry lover, it could have used some extra sauce. For dessert, I had the creme brûlée which if I could have licked the bowl, I would have.

My husband had the Grilled Octopus App which for me was a bit undercooked. I have a preference for charred however he enjoyed it immensely. Note that they do not advertise that there is pork in the recipe. For his entree, he enjoyed the Truffle Vegetable Gnocchi which was heavenly. A delicious vegetarian option with pops of crunch from fresh corn. Dessert was the Key Lime Pie.

Now for service. It was flat out weird. Our waiter never introduced himself to us, had this odd habit of wearing his personalized mask to walk to and from our table but as soon as he got to the table, would pop the mask off and talk. He also didn't ask if we wanted a cocktail while we perused the menu. He was efficient but that is about all that he gets.

In essence, go for the atmosphere, the food and the unusual blends of cocktails but let go of any expectation on service. read less

Disappointment started when we got served “ fake butter “ with bread at the French restaurant, apparently no real butter!
We ordered octopus as an appetizer. Octopus was pretty rubbery. Someone in one of the reviews suggested that gnocchi were amazing. Not sure if that someone was joking. The texture was absolutely awful, very chewy like a gluey raw dough.
The other dish we had was Thai lobster. For a $50 we got a tiny lobster tail that was also very rubbery. The only tasty part of that dish was black rice and a sauce.
Not even one dish was good. We had to send the lobster back. I refuse to pay that kinda money for a horrible tasting sliver of lobster and definitely not paying $50 for a bowl of rice !
So disappointed:( not sure if it was a bad night but food was the worst I’ve had on this island read less

A romantic setting, exemplary service, and true gourmet food makes this the place in Islamorada for that special occasion. The 48 hour short rib melts in your mouth like butter. I have never had anything like it and I have eaten at many fine restaurants. Do yourself a favor and try Pierre’s. read less

First, the setting is incredible. Amazing sunset views and beautiful restaurant. Food was outstanding. Tried hogfish for the first time. Service was very good, which is hard to come by these days. Not inexpensive, but worth it. A few tips- we got there before six and had a drink at the bar before dinner during happy hour, which offers reduced prices. Pierre's has chairs out on the beach so you can grab a drink and watch the sunset if you don't have an outdoor finner table. read less

He was super friendly and made great drinks for everyone. The evening upstairs was unforgettable and wonderful. The food was very tasty. We had beef tartare, caviar, octopus, duck, and salmon. Our server Leontyne made the night even better with her great service. The entire staff was professional and efficient. Will definitely be going back. Also you cannot beat such an amazing view. read less

This is more of a splurge place (figure $100 pp maybe a smidge more with wine or a cocktail) but the value was there. We loved our food and the service was perfect - professional, prompt, and just friendly enough. Don't hesitate to book it. read less

If you reserve a few days in advance you can secure a table on the second floor balcony over looking the beach. 2 out of 4 drinks needed to be returned because they weren't made correctly. The waiter promptly retrieved and replaced those. Very pricey and small portions. Wines by the glass start at $18 on go up from that. My wife had the duck which was comprised of 2 small strips of meat. I chose the Chilean Sea Bass which was a decent size thought. Others at the table commented on the small portions in relation to prices. read less
