Great experience! Beautiful view and delicious food. The service was perfect. We didn't have to ask for anything. Wonderful gem.

CJ's is truly a beautiful and amazing place! My family has been coming to Marco for 20 years and this is my FAVORITE spot on the island. With incredible views directly on the water, the food and staff are wonderful! Mark is our favorite bartender and makes THEE BEST DRINKS!! Must try his Strawberry Skinny Margarita which is my drink of choice! Thursday nights they have live music which is always a great time. Family and children friendly and no dress code! Show up in your swim suit or fancy attire! You can sit inside or outside to dine or sit at their beautiful outside bar with big screen tv's! It is a little pricey but worth every penny! This place is a MUST try if you've never been. You won't be disappointed!

Came here on our last day of vacation and we were not disappointed. The service was awesome & the food was even better. I had the Mahi Mahi Rum entree and my wife had the key west pink shrimp linguine and both were very delicious. For dessert we had the pineapple upside down cake & ate it before w me could get a picture. Couldn’t recommend this place more 10/10.

Great spot for afternoon cocktails. Friendly attentive people and beautiful views!

Staff was attentive and Diana explained the specials etc. We sat outside on a cool night but they had heaters. The crab claws were 15 each. But the food was good.

Came here after shelling at the beach, and the food and service was wonderful. I got the seafood combo and the catch of the day was grouper. The fish was good, just okay. The shrimp was also good but nothing to write home about. The scallops, however, were absolutely divine. Definitely get the scallops if you can. They also have red and white sangria and it was absolutely delicious.

Great location! I’m gluten free & gluten free pasta was available. Our serve also double checked with the kitchen the sauce etc was all gluten free. The pasta came marked too. I’d recommend to everyone, especially people looking for a good gluten free pasta.

I had the 10 oz prime rib, and my wife had scallops and a salad with homemade citrus dressing she loved it. My meal was excellent too.
