Enjoyed a wonderful dinner with a party of 8; food and service were excellent. Fourth five different entrees were ordered and everyone enjoyed theirs. Clam chowder and salads were also delicious.

My husband and I enjoyed this place so much, we went twice in one week. The staff was attentive and kind. The food was fantastic, we both had the surf and turf, the filet melted in your mouth and the lobster was tender. Our second night my husband had Yellowtail snapper and I had Crab cakes, both meals did not disappoint. Can't wait to go back next year.

One would think that a seafood restaurant would know how to cook seafood. I had the steak and lobster. The steak was very good. The lobster was way overcooked and very tough. My wife had the shrimp and scallops dinner. Shrimp were also way overcooked. The scallops were OK.

My wife and I have been coming to Key West for nearly 40 years, and last night's meal may have been the best ever. She ate the grouper oscar while I (steak and potatoes guy) had one of the best filets I have ever eaten. Service was excellent, and the chocolate dessert was fabulous. A&B is a definite choice if you come to Key West. We will return in January, and A&B will be at the top of our list.

This was a last minute reservation due to another plan for dinner not working out. We are so glad we ended up at A&B Lobster House! The menu has a varied selection of seafood and other options but is not overwhelming. Each course we had was beautifully plated, perfectly cooked and most of all, delicious. Our server Katie was attentive but not annoying and kept our water glasses filled throughout the meal. The restaurant has an old school, very classy feel to it. It is pricy, but worth every dollar. We would absolutely return here!

Our last night on the Island and couldn't have been a better experience! 2 couples, outside on the deck, enjoying each other and the surroundings. Great time had by all and we rated this out best dinner of the week! Don't miss!
We loved our dining experience at A&B Lobster House. Our server was outstanding, friendly & knowledgeable. The lobster was delicious, the best ever. We finished our meal with Key Lime Pie for dessert. Excellent idea!!

While we didn't want a full-on meal, preferring to stack up some starters only, this establishment more than met our needs. Excellent lobster bisque, tasty roasted pear salad and beef carpaccio were a delight. Caesar salad less of a winner, but OK all the same. Great views, friendly service.

It is widely known that first impressions can make or break a customer's experience. Hence, it is imperative to pay attention to every detail, even if it's as insignificant as a can of Red Bull a customer brings. In my opinion, the steak lacked the desired flavor and could have used some salt and pepper. I would recommend trying the steak at Texas Roadhouse for a better experience. Although the server was excellent, the food failed to meet my expectations. The potato casserole was unappealing and seemed to have been made the previous day as it was greasy. Overall, I must say that A & B was a huge disappointment.
Our server was awesome. Knowledgeable, kind and super professional. Unfortunately my meal was sub par. The colassel Lobster tail was really off. Tasted like ammonia and was not edible , they took it off the bill and were very nice about it but that was a huge disappointment as that was the reason we were going to dine at A&B. The potatoes at gratin w my husband's filet was not good and his filet was cold but he ate it anyway. All and all we spent over $200.00 on a sub par meal. Will not be going back anytime soon.

I shared the grouper and shrimp fettuccine and were both as AMAZING as the view. Highly recommend this restaurant. Service was excellent. Next time in Key West I will certainly return. We also had the chocolate cake which was also excellent. All in all a great view, great service, great food. You can't go wrong with dinner at A&B Lobster.

Highly highly recommend stopping here, I wish I found this place sooner! Prompt professional service and high quality food. We were winging the night & didn't dress for a nicer occasion, yet we didn't feel out of place, which made it an even more comfortable dining experience. Pictured: royal red shrimp & scallops & special of the day (grouper & scallops).
