Mutineer Restaurant

Mutineer Restaurant Review

Families and older couples flock to the quirky yet well-dressed setting of this roadside steak-and-seafood outpost with a fish-and-duck pond and a petting zoo for kids. It was built in 1980 to look like a ship, back when Florida City was barely on the map. Etched glass divides the bi-level dining rooms, with velvet-upholstered chairs, an aquarium, and nautical antiques. Topping the menu of about a dozen seafood entrées is the stuffed grouper, Florida lobster tails, and snapper Oscar, plus another half-dozen daily seafood specials, as well as poultry, ribs, and steaks. Burgers and seafood sandwiches are popular for lunch, as is a happy-hour buffet until 7 pm in the lounge for $2.25 and the purchase of a drink. You also can dine in the restaurant's Wharf Lounge. Most Friday and Saturday nights feature live entertainment and dancing.
