An Upscale, Waterfront Restaurant in Marathon

With fresh-caught fish and island fare, Butterfly Café brings the flavor of the Florida Keys to life. Surrounded by towering palms, our award-winning waterfront restaurant offers a menu that draws inspiration from an array of coastal cuisine for an elevated dining experience that is sure to please.

Dine al fresco on the porch for views of our Lagoon Pool accompanied by the sea breeze, or sit inside amid sophisticated decor, underscored by friendly service and an acclaimed wine list. But whatever you do, make sure to save room for dessert. Our TDF “To Die For” Sticky Toffee Pudding has made a name for itself in the Keys, among guests and locals alike.
