Wow, what a beautiful Sunday brunch on the Patio at Matt's Stock Island. There were three of us and each of us loved our meal. The bottomless beverages just kept coming for our 2+ hour visit. Brandon, our server, was helpful with our meal selections and incredibly attentive throughout the whole meal. This experience is one that will be added to my recommendations to anyone visiting Key West. Well worth the trip to Stock Island!

Unfortunately we are food snobs who are lucky enough to eat frequently at James Beard and michelin restaurants. This is a lovely restaurant, Evan our waiter, was attentive and well informed, friendly but not invasive. However the food was just poor. Waaay over salted, pasta overcooked, bread was blatantly stale. Ingredients were fresh, but felt like they had been cooked by a brand new student. Certainly no pass chef. Too many other good restaurants to choose from. Hopefully they find a great chef team and turn it around

We went for Sunday Brunch on Mother's Day. We've been several times in the past but this will probably be our last time. We asked for the bottomless mimosas. It took 35 mins to receive the first round of drinks. We ordered the Steak & Eggs, Burger, Eggs Benedict, Southern Benedict, and Banana Fosters French Toast. The Benedict's didn't have hollandaise sauce on them so we had to wait for them to bring it on the side. The steak was way over cooked for the Steak & Eggs. Instead of taking the whole plate to remake it, the server asked for the steak to go on a side plate, leaving the rest of the food to go cold while waiting for a new steak. (To be fair when the new steak came out it was amazing, cooked to perfection and super flavorful!) They completely forgot the Banana Fosters French Toast so it arrived like 15 mins later. We were able to get a second round of drinks but that was all. So much for bottomless. The manager did come by and check with us and was super apologetic and we could see she was trying to make it right. When the server brought the check she announced to the whole table that the steak was taken off and our check was discounted as she watched us pay. She forgot to mention she had added gratuity on the check. Overall super disappointed. We're locals and have been there many times in the past. Unfortunately we probably won't be back.

Breakfast was nothing special, they didn’t give me toast with my omelette

A restaurant inside the hotel that is right by the harbor offering lovely key lime food options!I highly recommend their key lime pie and Forbe's mentioned it as 1 of the top 5 places for a pie in Key West. And honestly, it had a macaroni almond crust, delicious filling, and I appreciated the passion fruit coulis with whipped cream.Their entrees and appetizers are on the pricier side but the service is really good.

We have been coming here since Chef Graham from Marquesa trained the staff and added some choice selections to the menu. I did not really recognize any major changes to the menu selections however there were some changes to the taste of the food. My favorite selection on the menu is the Mahi Mahi however there are numerous other dishes that are equally good. Gem salad is another choice I like. Seems to be the tastes had changes on both selections and not necessarily for the better. I don't remember there being tons of egg on the Gem salad and there were no croutons. The mahi dish was just ok. Maybe it was me, but one thing I definitely know was that there were no beignets on the dessert menu which for me is a deal breaker. Why the heck would the chef remove these as they were with out doubt on of the top items on the menu? We heard it was the new chefs decision! Cafe Marquesa thankfully still serves them. Perhaps we will just go there instead. My advice is go back to chef Grahams recipes. He was extraordinary and you didn't need to change a thing. Disappointed.
We waited one hour and 15 minutes to get main course. Left and canceled food not served. Others served seated after us. Have been there many years and many times. The value to attend to this issue was astounding. This is very sad. We won't return for a long time if ever.
Very good, fresh ingredients. Server was named Evan, very pleasant and attentive. Food was prompt and wine glass full. We both had Shrimp linguini. Excellent flavors and perfect portion size.

Tuna Tartare was amazingly delicious, unlike other restaurants where it's good but this was over the top. So yummy. Their herb butter is addictive. Our entrees were delicious and served at the right temperature. Definitely will be back.
I ordered biscuit and gravy and scrambled eggsThe gravy was as thin as soup and cold. Biscuit was hard never visiting this restaurant again. and they force gratuity.I am not a non tipper but you should let the customer decide how much their food guality was worth a tip

Place was okay. Food was okay. Prices high for what you actually get. We asked to be seated outside and the lady acted put out but moved us. The avocado toast has good flavor but the toast they use is so thin the bread gets soggy. Bacon is on point. Breakfast potatoes taste frozen. We waited awhile just to get drinks and the drink is came almost the same time the food did. Odd. Overall not too bad but needs improvements. Larger portions. Better thicker toast for avocado toast. Non frozen potatoes.

Food was very good! Service.. not so much. Our server was more concerned with the larger table nearby and did not bring bread to our table and the appetizer we ordered never arrived. Our breakfast the previous day was fantastic all around, both food and service. Great bartender!

Slow service. Small serving sizes for the price. Food presented was not the same as description and missing several items. Would not recommend to guests staying at the hotel. Go somewhere else!
