If you’ve never been to the legendary Pierre’s, you’re missing out on one of the most fabulous dining experiences in the Florida Keys.
Overlooking Florida Bay in the heart of Islamorada, the “Pierre’s Experience” immerses you in inventive fine dining with an exotic vibe. Backdropped by a spectacular tropical setting and reminiscent of the old colonial-style residences found in West Africa, Pierre’s sets the stage for a night you will never forget.
Stepping inside is like passing through a Star Gate. Embracing many different world cultures, the decor instantly transports you to another place and time.
Anchored by dark planked wood floors, the upstairs dining room boasts an eighteenth-century Indian arcade, natural textured walls, and smooth teak tables on kilim rugs. You’ll find Moroccan, Indian, and African artifacts at every turn, and each entryway is outfitted with a richly carved, nineteenth-century monastery door from India. Carved walls, Moroccan lamps, and banquettes strewn with colorful pillows exude romance, while the outside dining veranda is a testament to paradise.
The award-winning culinary couture is a French fusion with regional influences. You can indulge in Starters like the Chilled Seafood Tower, Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras, Escargot Vol-au-vent, and other luscious beginnings.
Just make sure to pace yourself because the entrees are simply outstanding. Main Plates may include the Cast-Iron Seared Australian Wagyu New York Sirloin, Miso-Glazed Seabass, Pan-Seared Yellowfin Tuna, Grilled Ivory Coast Prawns, or Grilled Rack of Domestic Lamb.
On the main floor, the legendary Green Flash Lounge invites you to linger at the beautiful mahogany bar or cuddle together on leather Chesterfield sofas, cozy banquettes, and comfy rattan chairs. In addition to your favorite libations, the Green Flash Lounge also serves the same award-winning menu as the upstairs dining room.
You’re also welcome to delve into the “Pierre’s Experience” on the downstairs veranda. It’s a perfect respite for cocktailing, dining, and sunsetting. If you’re in the mood for inventive fine dining with an exotic vibe in a spectacular setting, the “Pierre’s Experience” should be on your Keys’ Bucket List.
