'''Dinner Key''' is a [[marina]] complex in the [[Coconut Grove]] neighborhood of [[Miami]], [[Florida]], along the shore of [[Biscayne Bay]] on South Bayshore Drive. It was originally an island, but was connected to the mainland in 1914 by filling in the intervening space. An early source attributes the name to the island being a convenient place to stop to eat while traveling by boat between the mouth of the [[Miami River (Florida)|Miami River]] and [[Snapper Creek]] south of Miami.<ref>Munroe, Ralph M. and Vincent Gilpin.
