“Delicious food & wine in a quaint bespoke venue. The tasting menu was a lovely experience at an excellent price point (especially compared to other tasting menus). Highly recommend.”
“Dinner was absolutely amazing, dessert was even better! We ordered the deviled eggs, mango shrimp toast, and caprese salad for appetizers. Everything was amazing and the toast had a perfect sweet and savory balance. For dinner we got the stroganoff, vegetarian pasta, poblano peppers, snapper, and Caesar salad. I LOVED the vegetarian pasta and the grits, but everything was to die for. I had bites of each! The lavender cheesecake and key lime pie blew us away so much the first night that we came back the night after and ordered it to go. I will forever remember this place as a key west staple!”
“The food was impeccable. We had the oysters and the yellow tail tuna with grits... to die for. Great wine list and full bar with eclectic drinks menu. The desserts... like a whole other level. Key lime pie and beignets- OMG mouth watering goodness. I'd give it 10 stars if we could. The Executive Chef came out Lawrence Gottlieb came to each table and he is a rockstar.”
“Lucy and Daria!!! Omg!!! Don’t even go anywhere else these amazing ladies killed the outside bar w fun energy hugs and smiles. They were as amazing as the libations and the food. Surf and turf eggs benes! And mimosa and a passion fruit something that was out of this world!!”

“This was the best bite of food allll day!!! The flavor was out of this world!!Ate every bite!!We happened in on a food tour. The atmosphere is so welcoming, outdoor, very "back street" feel. (Not meant to be a boy band reference ?)We would love to go back and explore the menu further!”
“Stopped in for dinner and scored Jennifer as a server and she was great! Such an awesome, flirty, and fun attitude and very attentive too!The menu is loaded with fun stuff we wanted to try. They have a Very Nice Italian wine list too. We started with bubbles and then moved on to a bottle, both were great!We then moved to their grilled Romain salad, which was tasty and fresh.Finally, our pizza was their meatball pizza and the meatballs were tasty! The crust was excellent! The sauce was great too! We definitely enjoyed the pizza and will return!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Best dishes during our stay - New York Strip Steak ?, Dark Chocolate Tres Leche, Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée, Almond Milk & Chia Seed Pudding. However, avoid the Toasted Coconut-Key Lime Bread (so dry), Crispy Chicken Cheddar Waffle (spicy with mediocre flavor). Service here is great. ? View of the water is nice (room views are better ).”
“The food is awesome. We had octopus and calamari as a starter which was already filling. As a main course, filet mignon and fettucine. Both super tasty and great quality. Last but not least, the key lime tart. But there was absolutely nothing to complain about. We decided to make a reservation at very short notice and only got a seat at the counter, but it was super comfortable. Sylvia our bar tender was super super friendly and served excellently. A more than successful evening with an excellent meal. Danger! Very modern and not Key West style. If you're looking for something like that, you shouldn't go here, but if you're looking for great quality, this is the place for you.”
“We had the veggie hummus sandwich and the black bean burger. They were both phenomenal. Additionally the staff were very kind and helpful. Their latte was very authentic and tasty. Also their key lime pie was delicious. Never judge a place by its size. If you’re visiting Key West, this is a must.”

“Roast coffee in house and fresh made donuts! OMG doesn’t get any better. My only disappointment was the coffee cakes were all gone. Get here early. I did but still missed out. Everything is still good.”
“I couldn’t stop and snap a photo of the jerk chicken sandwich before devouring it. It was SO BOMB! The flavor of the chicken was unlike anything I’ve had, and it was moist and delicious, topped with the slaw on a tasty bun.The potato salad side was great too. Not to mention I sampled a green hot sauce that was totally unique and delicious! Spicy, fruity, and vinegary!The amazing flavors still linger in my mouth and I encourage everyone to taste this food!Service was quick and friendly as well!”
“Tried the lobster roll. It was fabulous, but it was one slice of buttered toasted bread with Lobster meat on it, rolled up like a hot dog. The taste was amazing, but so small for $32. Just a very expensive snack. I feel it was way too overpriced.”
“Best Cuban sandwich I've ever had. They cook it right there in site in a little food truck. I live in Illinois and I have been dreaming of this sandwich since I've been home! Don't skip this place!”
“Wow! The sandwiches here are unbelievable. Fully loaded, great bread, creative toppings, wonderful staff and clean. The owners are always there and are extremely friendly. Highly recommend if you find yourself in Key West, be sure to stop there. You won’t be disappointed.”
“I have been wanting to try this place out. Got the brisket, mac & cheese, and cornbread. Everything was delicious! Did not disappoint! The views are beautiful, and I had Coke in a bottle! Something I haven’t had in years! I loved it!”
“Went for lunch and go the seafood omelette and bread pudding cheesecake. Liked it so much went back again the next day and got the club and cheesecake. Their in house bakery is next level, both for the desserts but also for the sandwiches. We were in Key West for 5 days and this was far and away our favorite place.”
“Don't miss this one on your visit to Keywest. I went to both locations. Even the Keywest location had easy parking. Food was incredible. I had the whole Snapper for $32 dollars. Most items were lower priced. Grouper dinner was only $25. I had a painkiller at the Stock Island location. Taste was great and strong. I had a colada and chocolate cake for dessert. I will be back on every visit.”
“I absolutely love this place! The staff were so darn friendly and helpful. Amazing vibes throughout the whole establishment with very interesting decor. The Key Lime French toast was something I will never forget.”
“We came here for brunch while staying in Key West. There was no wait for a table and service was fast. I ordered the Cubanito sandwich, as I love Cuban sandwiches but haven’t had an authentic one before. It was easily the best Cuban sandwich I’ve ever had. The pulled pork was juicy and flavorful and the other ingredients were fresh. Another member of our group ordered the same thing and loved theirs too. The others ordered the chorizo breakfast sandwich, which they enjoyed. Highly recommend coming here if you’re in Key West!Dietary restrictions: There were no issues accommodating my dairy allergy.Parking: There’s no dedicated parking spots, so you’ll have to find street parking nearby or walk from elsewhere. Street parking is usually full in this area.”
“Look, I'm just going to talk about the lemon pie?You can go hot and the pie is really good??Thin and crispy crust, delicious filling and a great cream on top.When we went the place was empty and the service was very good.About 5 dollars a slice and worth a try. Very cool ??”
“Absolutely a wonderful restaurant. We had a wonderful waitress and servers. The food is amazing and so very delicious. I strongly recommend this restaurant. The oyster Rockefeller are the best is Key West.”
“What a small Amazing place. The Lobster Roll was Amazing and the staff was polite and friendly. This was our third visit to Key West can't wait to get back to eat the Lobster Roll here!”
“Lovely hidden gem in Key West with fabulous tapas, just the right size to share. The food was delicious and service was wonderful. Sitting outside with a slight breeze was so nice. The roosters ? were amusing.”

“Just wow! Beautiful setting, watching the sunset over the water. And the food was amazing. Get the blackened grouper—just get it. In fact, order two—double yummy.”
“Nice little place for breakfast , everything is home made and organic and absolutely delicious. service was amazing and the vibes inside were too . loved this lovely breakfast ”
“Such places are called democratic - simple tables, a simple menu of cocktails, beer and snacks to go with it.The tables are quite crowded - that's why I'm only giving them a four.But the waves are splashing nearby. Young but polite, efficient waiters. I was served by Aubrey M., who looked like a schoolgirl. Disputed order delivery, dirty plates on the table do not linger. It doesn’t push you with directions and recommendations - I had a pleasant time sitting by the ocean in the morning with a beer and snacks.I ordered beer and conch friters - they were not overcooked, served hot and juicy.This is a coastal cafe and I rate it exactly as a coastal cafe.I liked it here and will come back here again.Ps: I'm backOn my second run, I drank Sunset Tequila and ate tuna poke cups.The drink is soft - it doesn't hurt your brain. Long drink.Tuna initially raised concerns - it is a fish of cold waters and for a coastal cafe, getting tuna with good eyes and gills and cutting it is expensive.However, the fears were in vain - the tuna, although clearly frozen upon delivery (after all, the tropics, not Alaska), was good. No urges.The tuna sauce is unexpectedly balanced for a cafe - the taste of mayonnaise is not felt at all and perfectly complements the appetizer.The cups are naturally banana cups, not overcooked - I actually liked them and went great with the cocktail.It was a great morning: a view of the emerald ocean at my feet, a soft cocktail (beer if desired), and wonderful snacks to go with it at an affordable price by the standards of this island.It's totally worth it.I recommend.”

“Famished after a lengthy drive to Key West, we found this hole in the wall cafe for lunch. Street parkings were available around the cafe. While we waited for our order of Cuban Mix sandwich, steak quesadillas and tamarind Jarritos, we were greeted and entertained by couple cafe pet chickens. I preferred the Cuban Mix sandwich (4/5) over the steak quesadillas (3.5/5, slightly greasy but good flavor). Overall, not the best Cuban sandwich on the Florida Keys, but very solid food for Key West and price point seems reasonable for the more touristy areas.”

“This is our first time eating here since last March and the food is even better than the first time. The owners are great and now they serve breakfast with home-made pastries! I’ll be back in the morning.”
“This place is a gem in Key West. A few steps off the main street where there are lines down the sidewalk for a simple breakfast lies this amazing little cafe with great service and wonderful, fresh food. The coffee was perfect and the pastry case was inviting.”
“After making our reservation for the wrong day we showed up to no table for us. We were graciously offered bar seating and it actually turned out better than table service. This meal was far and away the best meal we had during our week in Key West. From the appetizer to the entree to the desert to the wine recommendation, everything was spectacular. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was top notch. Just a spectacular and memorable meal.”

“This place is beautiful,must visit if you are a true food lover. To start with this place has outside seating with awesome food and service is so good ,especially Mauri,our waitress is sweet and Derek is so kind to offer our daughter a beautiful balloon.overall it is wonderful experience altogether.”
“Had to grab some thing to eat before our bus left. The tuna sandwiches, chicken sandwiches and chicken tacos were sooooo delicious! Especially after we had a terrible lunch at “The Seaside Cafe at the Mansion”. The bar tender at the back bar was sooo sweet and got our food ready so fast. I wish we had more time to try other food! Highly recommended!”
“A fantastic shrimp scampi I will never forget. Everything about Sole was equally beautiful and delicious. The outdoor seating we had was charming and majestic with a very classy appeal. It gave off an intimate vibe despite the amount of seating. My beef carpaccio had a thinly cut freshness that was a good teaser for the rest of my meal. My highlight was my shrimp scampi that I couldn't give enough praise for. I'd go back here just to order this again. The noodles absorbed the sum of its parts so well with the oil and sauce. I don't know how else to describe how it tasted so good. I really enjoyed the key lime pie as well. I found torching the cream on top slightly unnecessary, the cake itself along with the graham cracker crust more than made up for it (which honestly didn't really need to be made up for.) The staff was exceptional as well. We didn't have to wait long for service and everything came as expected. They gave us good wine recommendations as well.”
“Go here!! The chowder and snapper were both phenomenal. I don't usually like seafood but this place has changed my mind. Changed my life? Perhaps.It looks unassuming but it packs quite the punch. Expect to pay, its worth every penny.Dietary restrictions: They have no tree nuts on the property.”
“The food was exceptionally good. I had an octopus appetizer and a duck confit which was served in a Bourguignon sauce with delicious baby onions, mushrooms and topped with a superb salad.”

“Our server was from Argentina and she was adorable! So friendly and so much fun to talk to.My husband had the steak, mashed potatoes and corn and I had the skirt steak sandwich and they were delicious!Highly recommend.”
“I really really loved it here. We came on a Thursday so we weren’t able to stay long enough to order food. 6oclock they start the vibrator races so we had a time crunch but I really appreciate them allowing us to go in for 45 minutes so we could experience the bar and order their Irish coffee which I heard about online. Can’t wait to go back next year to try some food as well!”

“Everything was delicious, especially my seafood crepe! The scallops and shrimp were perfectly cooked. Husband had the Oh La La burger and he said the onions were carmelized the way he likes and the fries were hot and yummy. We both enjoyed our own crepe desserts and spent about $70 on all, not including tip. Totally worth it! The staff was friendly and we sat at the open windows by the sidewalk and people watched while we enjoyed our meal.”

“This place is a must stop if you're in Key West! The donuts and ice cream are absolutely delicious. They have great flavors and a ton of toppings to choose from. I had to go twice when i was in town.”
“Have been meaning to stop in on this place since they’ve opened, but always seem to pass by on the street and have been too lazy to turn around.Finally dropped in today. I was in and out in like five minutes with my order.I ordered a a mixed Cuban sandwich with everything on it. It was in my hands in less than 5 minutes, toasted Cuban bread and all. It was yummy!I definitely recommend this place, even though I’ve only had one item off the menu.I’ll be back to try some other menu items in the near future. Go get you a Cuban, this place is legit.Parking: The parking lot is a little bit tight.”
“Go see Sharon for a glass of wine (or bottle)! We went here twice during our stay in Key West. It will definitely stay on our list of places to come back to. The bar has such a laid-back vibe with a great wine selection and fun people. The cheese plate isn’t bad either! No photos this time — too busy having fun.”
“The lemongrass mojitos are amazing both with and without alcohol. They only have two food items but that is all you need. The lobster roll is better than the Cuban, but not by much and the Cuban is the best I’ve had even after living in central Florida all of my adult life. Oh and they have some really good ice cream as well. Visit them and you won’t be disappointed.”
“I really appreciate stopping by here! A real good Cubano Mix sandwich.The stuff was efficient. From order to holding the food in my hand, maybe five minutes. I was here at noon weekdays.The sandwich is well made : Cuban white bread, some kind of whip, onions, lettuce, tomatoe, meet, a slice of beef (that one could have been thicker).The little smile would have been appreciated. 10$ tax included (finally no coins in change!).Thank you for this experience. I totally recommend.”
“I’m sure this place isn’t known for its veggie burgers, and the black bean burger i had was nothing special. Loved the atmosphere, and loved that they gave us free bananas with our food. Great prices!”
“Visited by bicycle on my way to Key West and loved it so much that I made my wife stop in with me on the drive back the following day. Tried their iced coffee, one of their shakes, Cuban bagels and a bacon and mozz bagel. Service was food was great! It's a popular stop-in for folks so be prepared to wait in line, but they move pretty quick! Bought some of their coffee beans to use at home.”

“Delicious DQ treats in a walk up stand. Can get crowded at times.Parking: Plenty of parking available in their lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for handicapped.”
“We were looking for a relaxed Sunday afternoon lunch. Crepes? Perfect! Perhaps some gentle French jazz in the background? Nope: 90’s grunge at FULL VOLUME! So loud my wife and I had to shout to hear each other. Pardon my ignorance but isn’t the ambient music supposed to ENHANCE your dining experience? Next time we’ll sit outside.”
“Excellent sandwiches, made to order, and they will let you customize them (I like extra meat). The ice cream is top notch, you don't expect good ice cream at a "fast food" place like this, but they have it. Family owned, they recognize their regular customers and you are always greeted with a smile when you walk in, whether or not you are a regular. I highly recommend.”
“The people that work there are super awesome and accommodating. I’m very picky about my pizza and they make it perfect every time. They always leave off the black olives off just for ”
“This was a great stop for dinner while vacationing on the island. Our car hop was very kind and patient with us as we double checked our order. And, she was quick to correct the oops we discovered.

“Fresh ingredients! Vegetarian and vegan friendly.My husband is a vegan, I am not; he loves good coffee;so after I googled choices nearby with good ratings,(and there were several),I decided to try this place because it had Koffie in their name; and well, that aught mean they are serious about coffee and it is a good chance it will be good. It was great! My husband ordered a RedEye (ie regular with a shot of espresso) and avocado toast (minus the egg — he’s a vegan). asked for hot sauce and she brought us a bottle of their homemade sauce! Homemade! Nothing wrong with store bought; but this place is the REAL DEAL!!! Goodness.I ordered a non-fat small latte. the latte was soothingly smooth with a nice foamy top. For food I ordered their Shakshuka, which comes with a fried egg, cut up freshly made toasted bread slices and a sprinkle of feta. Delicious flavor, well made. sorry no photos.The Koffie House offers an array of options of beverages, foods and of course coffee — without being inundated with over choice.Super cute decor; chair seating is creative; love the array of choices and crystals here and there adding to the vibe and experience;very friendly.They have free Wi-fi and upstairs is a comfy cozy hangout place; there’s a set up for a DJ and some metal singing bowls; chimes;crystsl bowl. Not sure what goes on upstairs and couldn’t find out (i asked but the person didn’t know about the singing bowls and other stuff).After cruising the town, we stopped back for hubby to get another red-eye for the road.”

There breakfast sandwiches are the bomb! Steak, egg, and cheese rock!Until our next visit, please enjoy this special place!”
“This ice cream was genuine fresh churned ice cream! They were making it fresh when we ordered. You could taste the cream in it which made for a delicious indulgent dessert! We got the coconut and key lime, both were good but the coconut was especially tasty!”

“Greatnplacebtobrelax, listen to local music, dance, sing, watch thebbiats return and view a spectacular sunset. Food is good bar food. Nice, tasty with good snacks. Service is great.”
“This spot had such a local vibe, I got there pretty early in the morning so I only saw a handful of people. A cop who's wife came to meet him for breakfast, what seemed to be a worker from a local store and a few other people. Staff was very friendly. For the coffee l'm a Miami native so I gotta say I was expecting better but it still hit the spot. The egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on Cuban bread was delicious. I loved taking a walk while I finished my coffee and even got to see a manatee surface. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area!”
“Was crawling back to the cruise ship when I saw the sign saying oldest saloon in Florida. Had to stop.If in Key West you need to take a moment to visit this place just for the history. Captain Tony led an exciting life.Supposedly the bar even was where Jimmy Buffett got his start.Be sure to bring a dollar bill so that you can sign it and add it to the collection. Or if you're daring, you can leave some other things hanging from the ceiling.”
“Best coffee i’ve ever tried in all the Keys! Cashier and barista Lucia was super friendly and kind. I had an amazing iced caramel latte with almond milk and a delicious key lime BLT made by Francisco! So good!!”
“Stopped in with friends for breakfast the other week. I got the Key Wester sandwich, Cuban Vanilla coffee, and a smoothie (the strawberry one). Line was like 15-20 people deep when I got there but moved consistently. Service was friendly. Food was DELICIOUS, especially the smoothie. I'd go back!”
“We arrived in Key West for one night, I was sure there were no kosher restaurants here, but with a quick Google search I found Mam's best food.I came to do take away, I took the falafel and the salad with the grilled chicken breast.The food was excellent, the service was lovely and it was also fun to meet a Hebrew speaker. Recommend!”
“We loved this little gem! The food was good, the Cuban bread was deeeeelicious!!We went for breakfast, so we had normal eggs/meat/potatoes...But we'd like to go back for lunch!!”

CAFE MATON
“The lemongrass mojitos are amazing both with and without alcohol. They only have two food items but that is all you need. The lobster roll is better than the Cuban, but not by much and the Cuban is the best I’ve had even after living in central Florida all of my adult life. Oh and they have some really good ice cream as well. Visit them and you won’t be disappointed.”
“Awesome dinner The lobster and shrimp scampi special was delicious. We always ask for Katherine as our waitress if she is working. She is a delight. Knowledgeable about the food and options”
“Our server was from Argentina and she was adorable! So friendly and so much fun to talk to.My husband had the steak, mashed potatoes and corn and I had the skirt steak sandwich and they were delicious!Highly recommend.”
“Delicious Cuban food, I can say the best in Key WestI want to add that I bought it again and my daughter is disappointed, the grilled fish is terrible, poorly cooked, another thing that bothered her is that the stew comes in small pots and came almost empty, in short, she is very upset”
“We make it a point to come here every time we are in town!! It never disappoints! The key lime churros are AMAZING! We are so glad our waitress suggested them because they were delicious!”
“The pizza was one of the best we have ever had! We highly recommend this small cozy restaurant. I expect we will return for some of the other dishes as everything is made in authentic Napolitano style. Service was quick, and friendly. We are so glad we stopped by!”
“Really superb dock-facing restaurant at the Front Street marina with a 50% off Happy Hour including small dinner plates and certain beers and drinks that’s probably the best dining value in Key West. And it lasts until 6:30 PM … which makes it ideal for small plate dinners and drinks. Some plates are only around $7.50 after the 50% off and there’s no ordering limit before 6:30. Great filet mignon kabobs, lamb chops, salad, ribs, shrimp, wings, skirt steak and more. I know since our family has eaten there multiple times and the food and service have been great. And we have to call out the exceptional service provided by Hannah, Brooke and Linsey W. Sorry, we forgot some of the other names. Really good overall!!”

La Grignote
“Food is fantastic and service is great I have been enjoying this place for years A five star for food an service at table But the host they have now if you slow down or lay your fork down before you finish while you are enjoying that last few sips of your beverage he will literally tell you to leave other guest are waiting He has done me twice that way and it is rude Love the place not the host”
“It’s always great to go to salutes! Great view and vibes, love the cakes with shrimp and chipotle! They come serve with a salad. Was a little noisy, but was a show going on at the beach. Nothing to be with the ”
“The thirty mermaid was our favorite spot to eat on our visit to key west. We ate there 2 times because of the high quality,delicious food. The ambiance is elegant, simple, and clean. They're happy our deal was so good. Especially the oysters that are amazing for the price. The gnocchi was great, as was the calamari salad. Lastly Ionela(hope i spelled this right), was an amazing and attentive server, who was so kind, happy, and a pleasure to be around. Steer clear of duval street and go here”

The Cafe
“I love this place! I’ve been coming here for the past few years when I visit Key West. The food is amazing and the staff is awesome. The fresh juice is so refreshing.. I’ve never had a bad meal. Brandon is super amazing!”
“Misohappy is my favorite restaurant in Key West! The crab rangoon and sashimi is always fresh and tasty. SERVICE is absolutely amazing. The staff is very friendly and attententive to ensuring my experience is the best.”
“My favorite spot in Key West. We always make sure to stop in least twice on our annual trip. Great music and they host the best band (Caffeine Carl) in the Keys. The vibe here is very cool and laid back. The service is great, and it's an all-around good time here.”
“Tolle Weinbar für einen stilvollen Ausklang des Tages. Barkeeperin Sam war sehr aufmerksam und kannte sich sehr gut aus, sehr leckere Weine (und Prosecco!), tolle Käseplatte und leckerer Hummus, was sehr gut zum Wein passte. Dazu leichte Lounge Musik und ein entspannter Abend. Wird sicher ein neuer Lieblingsort bei unseren jährlichen KeyWest Trips!”
“Woke up and wanted grilled shrimp. this morning for breakfast came across this place because it was the only people open offering what I wanted at the time I wanted it and let me tell you it was well worth going. I enjoyed the grilled shrimp I had very good very friendly people Would recommend anybody”
“Time and time again proprietor Mark Gambuzzo a al Ova Wine Shop literally "delivers" fine wine and especially champagne in & about the Key West. On two separate very special occasions I called the store to discuss champagne. Mark worked with me to ensure my selection. All of the bubbly delivered in style, beautifully wrapped with a gorgeous card. Can't wait to visit the shop in person - Votre Sante Kimberly NOTKim”
“We booked a table in the garden courtyard and it was perfect. Lovely comfortable casual setting with perfect weather. For starters we had the mini Maine lobster rolls that were the perfect size for an app and tasted great alongside some chips. We also had the grilled octopus with a side of tempura avocado. Omg the octopus was grilled perfectly not chewy perfectly charred and paired with an amazing tempura avocado and a flavorful side sauce. Both apps were amazing. For the main course my husband had the snapper entree that was perfectly flavored and cooked over a coconut yellow rice with veggies… it was yummy! I had the yellowfin tuna cooked rare with black soba noodles and tempura green beans… awesome! The tuna was perfectly rare, the black soba noodles a perfect accompaniment and the tempura green beans well hello they were amazing! We ended with tiramisu that was plenty to share and perfectly plated. Overall this meal was outstanding! Sweet casual atmosphere but the seafood out of this world. If I lived here I would go weekly! Superb!”
“If you are coming to Key West, it is one of the places you should definitely stop by to eat. The food and desserts are amazing and the staff is very friendly. Thank you especially to Illıa who took care of us.”
“We loved the blackened shrimp wraps and the blacked mahi tacos!! Fries were amazing. Small outside seating with view of lovely square, much better than sitting in a restaurant. Highly recommend.”

Seven Fish
“Seven Fish is, without a doubt, the best place to dine in Key West. Carl and Eric have superb Customer SERVICE. You will not be disappointed with their excellent service and their amazing food. Love ❤️ this place.”
“Only in Key West. A dive bar with a resort built around it. Have not stayed at the Pier House Resort, but the Chart Room is definitely worth a visit. Very old school KW, surrounded by very new school KW. This is where Jimmy Buffett 1st stopped upon arriving in KW (allegedly) and played for the likes of Hunter S. Thompson and Jim Croce. This is where Mel Fisher charted his days searching for the shipwrecked Atocha (at the round table in the back). This is where Tennessee Williams and Truman Capote wet their whistle (but not at the same time). This is where the Pirate Who Looked at Forty Philip Clark tended bar. This is where David Allan Coe was inspired by poet Shel Silverstein. This is where famous and not-so-famous regulars have their ashes interred in the bar (seriously, look for the corks). Most of Key West's history is embellishments and outright BS, and this awesome bar fits right in.”
“Absolutely amazing food! The pizza ? is the best! Reminds me of NY pizza! The wings were also very good! Great customer service, and fresh hot good made on the spot!”
“China Garden is great! The food was delicious. Friendly staff. The interior was decorated well. The service was quick. Without doubt worth going to! Have a great day!?❤️”
“We had a wonderful experience at Sarabeth’s while visiting Key West. Service was hospitable and fast. We went for weekday brunch - there was no wait and the food was delectable with great portions at very reasonable prices. There are so many awesome restaurants in Key West but you must put Sarabeth's on your list!”
“Perfect. Food, service, ambiance, people. I love this place. They care about fresh herbs and spices and use them! Vegetables are perfectly prepared with the perfect spices, herbs, never overcooked or ugh mushy. My favorite restaurant in Key West.”
“Definitely a hidden gem. We came at the recommendation of a friend and we highly recommend it! The service and food were outstanding. We ate outside in the evening and the lighting and ambiance just added to the great experience. Be prepared for a wait, but it's absolutely worth it.”
“Our waiter was extremely knowledgable about the different fish offerings and made some very good suggestions. They give you a lot of food, and everything we had was very good. We would definitely go back again.”
“Chef is fascinating to watch. What he produces by himself is amazing. The waitstaff is attentive. The lobster appetizer was delicious. Scallops were very tasty. Stuffed portobello was very tasty too. The pompano was cooked to perfection as was the filet. The duck was tasty but our preference was crispy skin not to say this version wasn't tasty. 2 hours to eat. Byob is a good idea. Be prepared for approximately $125 pp. No cc. Place was a bit dark and a little noisy, but you could still converse around the table with some effort. Well worth the visit.”

One Duval
“The location, service, and food were OUTSTANDING. The only drawback: the clientele can be a bit rambunctious and an outdoor sports bar on property can spoil the atmosphere. A terrific menu can be shorted by drunken profanities..”
“Stopped in for lunch with friends and family. The burger, chicken, and fish sandwiches were off the charts good! The coleslaw is fantastic! It's a no frills restaurant with great service and food at a fair price. If you have not tried Bo's, give it a try.”

Kennedy Cafe
“After a long day of travel we were tired and hungry. The Hotel attendant suggested The Kennedy Cafe which was right around the corner. We ordered dinner for delivery at our hotel. The service and delivery was fast and friendly and the food was great. We split a Gyro and Greek salad which was plenty of food at a reasonable price.”
“Geiger Key Marina is a two-fold new favorite for me and my family who have been visiting the Keys for over 40 years. The short review is about the kayaking eco tour they offer. If you have a chance, reserve a few kayaks and go make some memories while paddling around the beautiful, scenic mangrove islands. Buy one of their super cool Geiger Key Eco Tours sun shirts if you want to add to the fun.The marina restaurant is where I intend to review because this is where the average person is going to engage with this business. Many of us don't own boats and although they offer RV campsites, the capacity is so limited it would only be a select few who experience camping at Geiger Key as opposed to the hundreds of customers that can experience the bar/restaurant each day. First off, try the grouper cheeks. After that, pick whatever beer (Crazy Lady blonde ale, wink wink) suits your fancy and go on to try anything else on the menu. Having been by there a few times over the past two years I've found nothing but friendly people and a good food and drink menu. Geiger Key Marina is off the beaten path and definitely worth spending a minute exploring. Sit down and spend a minute an arm's length from the beautiful water of the Keys and you will not be disappointed if a few minutes turns into an hour or two. A short drive from Key West and a short drive from Marathon, Geiger Key should be worth anyone's time.”

The Roost
“We love coming here for cocktails... Beautiful bar, nice decor and very nice cocktail list. They serve wine and they sell bottles to go as well.Definitely worth the visit!”
“As usual, the food was excellent, the service superb and the overall experience was first rate. We really appreciate being able to chat and be heard, as the ambient noise level is wonderfully low.”
“Fantastic burger with crispy onions and yummy island slaw style.Don’t leave food unattended, the Rooster will steal your fries!!!Parking: Easier to just dock boat than to find parking.”
“Delicious Nicaraguan food. I got the grilled chicken with rice, it's amazing and decent portion. Their horchata is the bomb as well. Found this gem by accident. We will be back!”
“Great experience! The food was absolutely amazing. Shelby was my bartender, and she was extremely friendly and gave great service. I can't wait to go back, and I will be recommending.”
“Very decent service, limited menu but the dishes are delicious. Too bad we can't have real glasses of wine instead of these plastic cups that ruin the taste of the wine.”
“Great - fresh sushi and sashimi. Nice selection. Gyoza and edamame were also very good. Staff was excellent and we loved the interior ambiance. Will return on our next trip to Key West.”
“The food was great - Caesar salad, lobster risotto and linguine with clams. All first rate and hot. The service was spotty and the noise level quite high and it was maybe half full.”
“This is our second time coming here. We came back because this was our favorite meal last year. The food was good, but not as good as last year. The wait staff was helpful in finding gluten-free options for my son. He ordered the 1/2 chicken which I had last year. This time, instead of 1/2 chicken, he was served grilled chicken breasts. Not sure what happened there. Overall, the food was good and the patio is a great place to watch people and roosters.”
“Favorite of locals and Cali friends. Happy hour drink and food specials from 4:30 to 6:30 PM. Sit against the dock, and see the big fish fight for your garlic bread, quite a show! The raw oysters and steamed clams were awesome!!! Kora our server Cora was awesome!”
“Came here for Trivia night (Thursdays). Arrived during happy hour and the staff was wonderful. We placed our orders (dollar happy hour wings were freaking delicious!) and the food was great. The prices are typical for the area and cheaper than some of the fast food joints in town. They're still fixing up the place so it was a little rough in areas, but nothing bad. The acoustics in the back room were crazy loud since the carpet was removed, but that's to be expected with a crowd.7/10, will return for those chili-lime wings!Also, it's a bar/restaurant, if you want fine dining and white tablecloths, go somewhere else and pay through the nose. Come here for good grub and good company!”
“I am a local- and Schooner Wharf really is one of the last little pieces of "old Key West".The Mojitos and Mudslides were delicious. I ate a Mahi wrap with homemade chips and the wrap both were very tasty!We had a fun server and great server- Logan.All around great vibe!”
“The food was fantastic! Lobster bites, fried pickles, fried catfish, seafood medley and jalapeño poppers were all excellent. We both had rum runners that made us get a second one each. Service was great. Monica was attentive and checked back regularly. Will be back for sure!”
“We were looking for a relaxed Sunday afternoon lunch. Crepes? Perfect! Perhaps some gentle French jazz in the background? Nope: 90’s grunge at FULL VOLUME! So loud my wife and I had to shout to hear each other. Pardon my ignorance but isn’t the ambient music supposed to ENHANCE your dining experience? Next time we’ll sit outside.”
“Wings were good, house made ranch was really good. The pizza threw me back to the 90's almost like a personal pan pizza with Pepperoni cups (which should be the standard on all pizza) but better. It was all really good.”
“Love this place every time we visit. Had the Volcano roll and it was amazing. Excellent items prepared in a lovely manner. I also like that they don't have too much rice.”
“AMAZING meal. Fantastic service from every single person in the building. All around amazing. We live in islamorada and will be making the drive regularly now for date nights when we need tacos! Thanks Chico’s! Oh and love our shirt for our cousin! He’s gonna love it and can’t wait to come eat there with us!!And if you don’t get the cheese dip with ground beef your missing out!!!”
“We ate here 3 different times during our stay at the Hyatt. Bartenders are excellent and the chef just as much so. Nothing we got was bad. Cute place with pool & ping pong table to use at no cost.”
“General Horseplay is a phenomenal bar. Bartender Eric waited on my wife and me. He was wonderful interpersonally, and he was a magician as a mixologist. I like to think of myself as educated when it comes to craft cocktails, yet he introduced me to the vieux carre, and it was delightful. I cannot recommend Eric and General Horseplay highly enough.”
“Great fast delivery Chinese food. Tough to compare this to other Chinese food in Key West since they're both good. General Tso's chicken is great, delivery is fast and cheap.”
“The coolest Cuban coffee hole in the wall. Empanadas, croquettes and Cuban sandwich were amazing. Do your laundry next door while you enjoying your Cuban coffee.”
“I've been to Key West many times, and somehow missed out on Viv, but I'll be a regular during future visits. Excellent wine selection, and good food with particular awesome charcuterie boards.It's tiny, so reservations are highly recommended.”
“Really good hot dogs! If your not a local you will be craving one when you leave, at least it did. All the toppings blend perfectly for the right flavor. It seems like alil too much but it's not! I never knew a simple hot dog could taste so good. I definitely will stop by to grab one anytime im in town. Love the concept and wish he was local or would open up a location in Miami or start a chain. Lol”
“I get noodles from here at least once a week. Super friendly people, good food, cold beers, and everything is very fairly priced considering where it is. Anytime they’ve made a mistake when they were busy they always made it right even when I didn’t even realize they made a mistake at all. My go to KW noodle spot.”
“We were greeted immediately and with exceptional courtesy. We were given options for the table and seated quickly. Or server was attentive and very helpful with questions. The setting was beautiful and the food was excellent!”
“Don't be afraid to come in, we ate really well! Really friendly service and well-stocked dishes! If I have to criticize, as a European, it is to have already imposed a tip on the receipt. But we know it, it's just not our habits.”
“Zero if I could!!Nasty mean lousy attitude from HERLeft without anything.Needs an attitude adjustmentCame back and gave it another try. Friends just rave about this place.Curtis provided terrific service and wow yes the fritters are tdf.He was friendly and so helpful.Also the clam strips are the bomb.Maybe the girl yesterday had a bad day ????Cutis made up for it and saved the review”
“A DELICIOUS place! I SUPER RECOMMEND the excellent service, despite having arrived shortly after closing, they treated us SUPER WELL AND FAST! Super friendly staff; the most delicious playboy vibe among others that were suggested to us! Thank you??”
“Been here over the years and it's always one of my first stops when I come to Key West. Lance was absolutely amazing tonight. Extremely educated on wines and menu- great personality and dealt with us as a late walk in. We just got here and wanted real good food and that it was!!! Never disappoints. Oysters are phenomenal and grouper special was out of this world! Can't wait to be back this week.”
“I stopped in for late lunch and tried the Buffalo wings, strawberry lemonade, and cheesecake for dessert. The wings were great, just the way I like them. The waitress was friendly and service was good.”
“Food was incredible. The portion size was humongous! totally would come back again. i recommend the shrimp bacon club for people who like po boys and blt’s. 10/10 recommend.”
“Everything was great, from drinks to desert. Unfortunately they didn't have crab cakes like some of the menu pictures showed (I assume due to the crab shortage)”
“(Translated by Google) A stunning and romantic place, suitable for everyone. Amazing and special view.(Original)מקום מהמם ורומנטי, מתאים לכולם. נוף מדהים ומיוחד.”

“We've gone to 915 2 years in a row on our vacation and will continue you go there for as long as we visit and they exist. The food is always excellent and creative from apps to desert. Whole fried snapper- loved it Butternut squash ravioli- so tasty Ceviche- fresh and citrusy Dessert was some almond creamy semifrozen thing with rum poured over it, damn that's good! The bar menu is as good as the food. This place isn't cheap but it's reasonably for what you get. Highly recommend.”

Bistro 245
“We did the surf and turf. Great meat. Wanted more flavor from the mashed potatoes. Delicious pina colada! Got to watch the sunset! In a neat patr of town (cool night life).”
“Ambiance is always great in downtown Key West. Our waiter was terribly slow. 15 minutes to take our drink order, 20 minutes to deliver drinks, over a half an hour to receive food, once ordered. Food was over-sauced. 3 of us ended up taking food home because the sauce was over whelming. I could not find the ravioli, shrimp or crab in the sauce. The 1 person who had the chicken piccata was happy. We have eaten at La Trat many times, and were happy. This time we were disappointed.”

Martin's
“This place was very nice. Romantic, fine dining! The lobster bisque is traditional french bisque so much flavor. IOrdered the beef Wellington and lobster tail. The lobster was delicious. The beef Wellington was the one thing everyone talked about. It was good and the flavor was on point. It the server it medium rare to medium. I requested mine be more on the medium side. I was able to eat the outskirts of the Wellington, but when I made it to the center, it was completely rare to the point. The puff pastry had absorbed blood and everything had a metallic taste to it, so I did not finish it Wanted to try the Keylime crème brûlée, but they were out so I settled for the vanilla beans crème brûlée and it was delicious. I know people say us medium and well done steak eaters are strange but I like what I like. The chocolate martini is sooooo delicious”
“First time I had dinner there was Thanksgiving 2023. On their menu they listed roast turkey. They served me pressed turkey loaf that was not very good. In fact, it was awful and very disappointing.Because I believe in giving a restaurant a second try, I did. This time I had their clam appetizer that had wonderful flavor. As my main dish, I ordered lobster ravioli. The taste was so so. Nothing truly special. My meal for one person including tip came to $122.00. I'm not so sure I'll go back unless I'm only ordering appetizers.”
“Point Break Cafe was amazing. The blueberry and lavender mimosa were refreshing and tasteful. The hookah was fresh and lasted a long time also. Highly recommend!”
Latest Reviews
“Mid afternoon visit, not busy. Great service, great food. Atmosphere was what you would expect from an IHop. Cafe, clean, smells of bacon, coffee, and waffles. It was really cold inside, but they turned the thermostat up and moved people to less drafty tables. Awesome service.”
“Food is fantastic and service is great I have been enjoying this place for years A five star for food an service at table But the host they have now if you slow down or lay your fork down before you finish while you are enjoying that last few sips of your beverage he will literally tell you to leave other guest are waiting He has done me twice that way and it is rude Love the place not the host”

“Best soft shell crab tempura udon. Rich broth, lightly sales soft shell crab on the side; udon noodles are on point. Vietnamese coffee hit the spot. My coworker got the dragon bowl. Best looking dish and he enjoyed every part of it.”
“We stopped in & watched the entire show! Fantastic music, great staff & the perfect ambiance for Jazz.Only thing I can say is an opportunity is the drinks. We tried 4 different martinis & they were all HEAVY on the liquor. I know bartenders do this because they believe it's better for guests. However, balance is essential when mixing alcohol with juices, etc. Overall, a great spot to have a drink & watch live music on Duval!”
“Excellent stop for tee's, hats and visors, sandals, bags and souvenirs. The beautiful lady from Hungary was so much help and I was able to get everything I needed.”
“The lemongrass mojitos are amazing both with and without alcohol. They only have two food items but that is all you need. The lobster roll is better than the Cuban, but not by much and the Cuban is the best I’ve had even after living in central Florida all of my adult life. Oh and they have some really good ice cream as well. Visit them and you won’t be disappointed.”
“This ice cream was genuine fresh churned ice cream! They were making it fresh when we ordered. You could taste the cream in it which made for a delicious indulgent dessert! We got the coconut and key lime, both were good but the coconut was especially tasty!”
“Went for lunch and go the seafood omelette and bread pudding cheesecake. Liked it so much went back again the next day and got the club and cheesecake. Their in house bakery is next level, both for the desserts but also for the sandwiches. We were in Key West for 5 days and this was far and away our favorite place.”
“We did the surf and turf. Great meat. Wanted more flavor from the mashed potatoes. Delicious pina colada! Got to watch the sunset! In a neat patr of town (cool night life).”
“I have been wanting to try this place out. Got the brisket, mac & cheese, and cornbread. Everything was delicious! Did not disappoint! The views are beautiful, and I had Coke in a bottle! Something I haven’t had in years! I loved it!”
“Found Mayanjali as we wanted to try vegan and something vibrant, energetic and away from the regular crowd of key west, it was worth it.The owner Ivan greeted us very well and got us tasty & healthy smoothie, masala chai and MALT sandwich.He showed us the shakti yoga at the back of it. It has very good energy and intentions to it. The place got in my heart as I got to see our gods in the shala. Saraswati, Ganesha, Laxmi and OM signs & mantras caught our attention and it was amazing to see such a good place in key west, florida.We will definitely come back and we highly recommend this place.”
“Chef is fascinating to watch. What he produces by himself is amazing. The waitstaff is attentive. The lobster appetizer was delicious. Scallops were very tasty. Stuffed portobello was very tasty too. The pompano was cooked to perfection as was the filet. The duck was tasty but our preference was crispy skin not to say this version wasn't tasty. 2 hours to eat. Byob is a good idea. Be prepared for approximately $125 pp. No cc. Place was a bit dark and a little noisy, but you could still converse around the table with some effort. Well worth the visit.”
“We were there 2 days before this location closed. I do not understand why it closed. it was a great location, great atmosphere, great service, excellent food, friendly people. Everyone enjoyed the food they had.”

“This was one of the best places. Olga was very attentive and was helpful in explaining the restaurant and her time there in jet weather for almost 20 years.Mahi Mahi was to die for but the mussels in light cream sauce was tops.Not to mention key line pie that was made in house light and fluffy. Highly recommend for a very nice dinner.”
“The service here is excellent, as is the food. This is a slightly more upscale restaurant compared to many other local spots, and is worth a visit. Try the lobster bisque and fish dip to start.”
“You are coming here for the venue…live music, exciting, fun people watching, everyone was having a fantastic time, so it was not at all about the food for me. My friends were very happy with their shrimp, I was there for the entertainment.There was not much in the way of healthy or vegetarian fare, again, you will have fun.Get yourself a t-shirt afterwards, a must have for when you go back home.”
“The food is awesome. We had octopus and calamari as a starter which was already filling. As a main course, filet mignon and fettucine. Both super tasty and great quality. Last but not least, the key lime tart. But there was absolutely nothing to complain about. We decided to make a reservation at very short notice and only got a seat at the counter, but it was super comfortable. Sylvia our bar tender was super super friendly and served excellently. A more than successful evening with an excellent meal. Danger! Very modern and not Key West style. If you're looking for something like that, you shouldn't go here, but if you're looking for great quality, this is the place for you.”
“Such places are called democratic - simple tables, a simple menu of cocktails, beer and snacks to go with it.The tables are quite crowded - that's why I'm only giving them a four.But the waves are splashing nearby. Young but polite, efficient waiters. I was served by Aubrey M., who looked like a schoolgirl. Disputed order delivery, dirty plates on the table do not linger. It doesn’t push you with directions and recommendations - I had a pleasant time sitting by the ocean in the morning with a beer and snacks.I ordered beer and conch friters - they were not overcooked, served hot and juicy.This is a coastal cafe and I rate it exactly as a coastal cafe.I liked it here and will come back here again.Ps: I'm backOn my second run, I drank Sunset Tequila and ate tuna poke cups.The drink is soft - it doesn't hurt your brain. Long drink.Tuna initially raised concerns - it is a fish of cold waters and for a coastal cafe, getting tuna with good eyes and gills and cutting it is expensive.However, the fears were in vain - the tuna, although clearly frozen upon delivery (after all, the tropics, not Alaska), was good. No urges.The tuna sauce is unexpectedly balanced for a cafe - the taste of mayonnaise is not felt at all and perfectly complements the appetizer.The cups are naturally banana cups, not overcooked - I actually liked them and went great with the cocktail.It was a great morning: a view of the emerald ocean at my feet, a soft cocktail (beer if desired), and wonderful snacks to go with it at an affordable price by the standards of this island.It's totally worth it.I recommend.”
“I’m sure this place isn’t known for its veggie burgers, and the black bean burger i had was nothing special. Loved the atmosphere, and loved that they gave us free bananas with our food. Great prices!”
“I was there with my husband an we had amazing dinner.Our server was Milana, she was very well prepared about food and drinks.She told us that she is from Russia, very cold country but she wasn’t cold at all, the opposite…She was very nice, friendly and very attentive with us, we had very good service.We will definitely come back to Alonzo !!!!!”
“My wife's dinner she loved. Yellow fin tuna. My filet was good cooked to perfection but not a blue cheese lover and chose wrong. Zucchini and potatoes excellent. Nice wine choices. Overall for money and ambience excellent!”
“Went for lunch and go the seafood omelette and bread pudding cheesecake. Liked it so much went back again the next day and got the club and cheesecake. Their in house bakery is next level, both for the desserts but also for the sandwiches. We were in Key West for 5 days and this was far and away our favorite place.”
“Delicious food and great entertainment from Dave Bootle. Service from Mark was excellent. Nice choice of outdoor, indoor and secluded seating. You can sit on the Duval side for people watching or be somewhere quieter.”
“The service was incredible we had plenty of appetizers and they all came within time and the unlimited bread was a no brainer not to mention they didn't refill my water to much but they did it enough times I stayed hydrated and not to mention the food is INCREDIBLE!!! Best burger I have ever had and the scallopes were delightfully delicious, not to mention the fries were killer, and last but not least the bar area was a little loud but we were lucky seated in the back and it was calm and the voices and plates clinging were comforting, great ambiance. All around great dinner spot!!!”
“This Key West breakfast spot shines with amazing bartenders Doina and Saunders, and food that matches their hospitality. Sit at the bar for delicious breakfast and exceptional service.”
“Don't miss this one on your visit to Keywest. I went to both locations. Even the Keywest location had easy parking. Food was incredible. I had the whole Snapper for $32 dollars. Most items were lower priced. Grouper dinner was only $25. I had a painkiller at the Stock Island location. Taste was great and strong. I had a colada and chocolate cake for dessert. I will be back on every visit.”
“I absolutely love this place! The staff were so darn friendly and helpful. Amazing vibes throughout the whole establishment with very interesting decor. The Key Lime French toast was something I will never forget.”
“Amazing! The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was great and the people were very friendly. We had the antipasto to start. We each had a different homemade pasta. We finished with the Key lime pie. We were impressed. When we come back we will eat here again”
“Best dishes during our stay - New York Strip Steak ?, Dark Chocolate Tres Leche, Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée, Almond Milk & Chia Seed Pudding. However, avoid the Toasted Coconut-Key Lime Bread (so dry), Crispy Chicken Cheddar Waffle (spicy with mediocre flavor). Service here is great. ? View of the water is nice (room views are better ).”
