I have eaten here several times and it is consistently good, especially the turtle steak and the various conch dishes - chowder, fritters, etc. If you can eat on the deck, the view is outstanding. Their bar is very nice also. All in all a good choice for dinner.

We were seated next to the cove on the outdoor deck. We were able to experience the sunset, night divers, and a curious tarpon making laps around the cove. The snapper is possibly the best fish I have ever eaten at any restaurant and Michaela (not sure about the Italian servers name) was personal and professional. Brava!!

Great place to stop for lunch w a visit to "Hell" and the Turtle Farm. Enjoyed the conch chowder. The service was good but at a more relaxed pace. Ir you're in a hurry, you better tell them. The view was awesome! Walked around to take photos, it was breathtaking!

This was an amazing experience. The food was phenomenal and service was great! I really enjoyed the fish of the day. We sat out on the deck so we were able to enjoy the view along with the food. After dinner we went to the bar inside and enjoyed a final cocktail.

We spent the last week visiting GC...even though we were staying on the East End I knew we had to try this place. What a perfect stop on our little app/drink restaurant "crawl" just wish we would have had more and gone back. The Conch ceviche was quite simply the most tasty thing I ate all week and the specialty... More

If you are looking for a restaurant with a view, look no further than the Cracked Conch. It's got style, class, and a gorgeous view. Somehow they are situated right on a dive site. We came here for dinner and sat in the outdoor area and saw divers out in the thick of night. It was an incredible thing to... More

We stayed on 7-mile for 5 nights and ate at a different restaurant every night, including the popular Calypso, Guy Harvey's, and Dolce Vita. They were all good, but Cracked Conch was our favorite. Recommend going during sunset. As others pointed out the food is very well prepared and we had good service. Tried the duck as well as some... More

This place never disappoints. We love the atmosphere and service. And the food is off the hook - literally. We had the freshest tuna. And I think about the ceviche all year until we return. Call and reserve a table on the water to enjoy the sunset and then the night dives. Take your time and enjoy some of the... More

Went with a group. Nice variety on the menu. I had conch ceviche - very nice and tender. I also had mahi mahi and shrimp bouillabaisse. Very nicely done. Conch chowder looked great. Had key lime pie for desert. Overall, a very nice evening with good food and attentive service.

I had the fish and chips which were oh so tasty. We had an evening dinner outside on the deck which was very romantic yet casual so I didn't feel like we had to dress up. The outside bar was also a great place to stop for a brewski during the day.
