“Loved it so much we went there twice. Food is amazing and lots of it.”
“Wow! We are blown away with Marquesa hotel. From the beautiful king suite poolside room, to the delicious cookies at noon, and the amazing staff… Great job! We’ve been coming to Key West two times a year every year for the past 10 to 15 years and we’ve stayed at many beautiful properties, but this one wins above them all. I highly, highly recommend this property. We will be returning guests for sure!”
“One of the best meals that we have ever had in our years of coming to Key West! Our only complaint is that we didn’t discover this gem sooner.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, great service, and a great atmosphere!”

“Great corner store for coffee, breakfast items like egg sandwiches and pastries plus killer Cuban eats especially the sandwiches, daily specials and bollos (the only place you can get them). The staff is great and very kid friendly too. A must stop while on the rock.”

“A & B Lobster House 700 Front St., Key West, FL 33040 4 Stars Ah, the Conch Republic. How can you not love the Key West even if it is a tourist trap. It is our tourist trap. Any place Papa Hemingway lived has to be cool. Opened 70 years ago by good friends Alonzo Cothron & Berlin Fleton, A & B Lobster House has become a Key West Waterfront icon in what is now A & B Marina. They have expanded over the decades to include a slew of eateries. Upon entering the abode, I almost thought I had stepped into an atelier; the place was so pristine and classic-looking. Michelle was the server today, and she was more or less what one expects from a place that bills itself as "fine dining." She was knowledgeable, polite, and professional. I asked for one Old Fashioned from Berlin's Bar, some Beef Carpaccio, and a New York Strip (Blackened and medium-rare) with a Caribbean Lobster Tail. Relaxing in the atmosphere of Key West, I was almost lost in the comforting arms of Hypnos when Michelle brought forth our fare. First, the Old Fashioned was made by someone who obviously knew what they were doing as it was delicious. I then turned my attention to the order of Beef Carpaccio. I learned from Michelle that the "fresh baked" part of this was neither fresh nor baked on-site. As I've stated a million times, if a dish involves any bread or pastry product, it has to start with the bread or pastry. If that is off, it throws the whole dish off, which was the case here. A for effort - D for quality. Moving on to the Blackened New York Strip and Caribbean Lobster Tail. Looking at the pictures, you can clearly see that beautiful, blackened crust on the charred bovine. It was cooked to a succulent medium-rare and was extremely tasty on the palate. The accompanying Lobster Tail was delightfully seasoned, grilled to perfection and caused my taste buds to break into a Bruckins as they were freed of crappy food for the nonce. The Carpaccio and bread are a 1, while I found the NY Strip and Lobster Tail to be a 4.5. Hence, the overall rating of a 4 -- giving greater weight to the entree. The Big Boy says, "I'm not sure if there is better dining in tourist trap haven, but it's miles above anything up in Cocoa Beach serving the same feed."”
“Being from Canada we were looking forward to trying this little quirky restaurant on a boat . Ribs and brisket were excellent and best baked beans I’ve ever tasted. Apparently missed the neighbour hood manatee who lives in the port . We would definitely visit again !”
“I saw Fritas in a YouTube video, we got done with our vacation activities late so we ordered on doordash. I was nervous it wasn't going to be as good, but it was amazing! I wanted to get a Cubano on this trip and I was not disappointed, the classic cubano was so flavorful and delicious. It was better than I could have asked for. The fries were also really good, my wife said they were now her favorite fries, sad that we don't have this food back home!! I don't have a picture, I ate the food way too fast. Thank you Fritas!”
“We had the BEST sandwiches from here when we stopped by on our Spring Break last week. The owner (I’m guessing) was very nice and even gave our daughter a drink on the house. Love it that they use Boars Head meats & cheeses! Next time we visit, we’ll definitely stop for another subs. 😋🤤”
“this restaurant is one of the best in Key West. It has an exceptional atmosphere, extensive menu and great service. We were pleased with all that this restaurant has to offer including impeccable drinks and food selections. We were delighted to have Mercedes as our server and she did everything possible to make us feel like family.”
“Heads up…. Payed for a latte, received a regular coffee no foam. Coffee was weak. What surprised me the most was that they were adamant that it was a latte. Other than that, the food was delicious and the pastry’s were out of this world. Happy dining”

“This place is AMAZING! We met Tadd the owner and had fantastic conversations about beer, life, and everything in between. The beer selection is out of this world. There is definitely something for everyone but if you’re not sure which to pick, the outstanding servers will help you out with suggestions and samples! You walk in just looking for a good beer but you leave feeling like you’ve been going there forever (and with a few cans to take back home).”
“Had dinner at Bruchetta last night. everything was spot on from the mocktail and Becks NA to our Gelato dessert. We shared the Classico Bruchetta, the TRIO and the Gelato. We had the Trio with Picante that was spot on. The shrimp and fish were great but the surprise was the size and tenderness of the spiney lobster tail. The Sicilian spaghetti was another surprise. I am not a pasta lover and this was so good. our server Jimmy was very helpful and his recommendations sealed the deal. This is not cheap but worth it. I will gladly come again next year.”
“If in Key West, you must visit Frenchie's for coffee and breakfast. The coffee and breakfast are great. The pastries are extraordinary (better than in Paris IMO). Try the almond croissant - wow! The cosy ambiance and friendly service top it all off. Wonderful!!! Highly recommended.”
“Incredible place - a real gem! We visited for lunch and were treated to the best smash burgers we’ve ever had. The prices were great. The service amazing. The drinks were incredible. If you’re in Key West - avoid the tourist traps and visit the Surly Siren. You will not regret it.”
“Amazing food and Customer service! Jamie and the crew are killing it - him And his awesome mom Melissa made the most flavorful Cheesesteak and Burger for us - and don’t get me started on their homemade Sauces, and nice, sunny and shaded outdoor dining. Coral sauce is 🔥 🤤”
“Found them in Stillwater, what surprise. Wonderful food, going back.”

“My wife and I had zero plan and zero reservation on Duval Street when somebody mentioned there was a BBQ happening on the patio at Viva Argentinian Steakhouse. Figured we'd wander over and check it out. Instead we walked into a full-blown whole pig roast special, live music and all. It turned into one of the best random meals of the trip.
No idea if it's a regular thing or we just got lucky, but the whole pig was set up on the patio, freshly carved right there, with a line of people waiting to grab plates. We got in line ourselves no hesitation. The meat was tender and delicious, clearly not sitting around waiting on us. Paired it with a key lime martini and called it a night well spent.
**The food:** We still couldn't resist ordering off the regular menu too. We got one of each empanada flavor while we waited, and they more than held their own against the main event. Closed it out with a slice of key lime pie, which felt like the only appropriate way to end a Key West night.
**The vibe:** Open-air, string lights, a musician playing loud enough to feel it but not so loud you're shouting over dinner. Warm night, a key lime martini in hand, live music, and a pig roast we stumbled into completely by accident. What a way to start a Key West evening.
**The verdict:** If you're walking Duval and hear a band playing on a patio, follow it. Worst case, you get a good steak. Best case, you walk into a pig roast like we did.
*Would go back in a heartbeat, assuming the pig's on the menu again.*”
“My husband and I were there tonight. We were at your restaurant 12 years ago and we had the Soul Mama soup then and I had to go back while in Key West to have it again. Even in 100 degree weather I had to order me some soul mama soup. The lobster special was very tempting, but I couldn’t pass up my favorite. Thank you for keeping Soul Mama on the menu ❤️🎉”
“Oh my goodness, what a wonderful experience we had when dining with you on November 30th! The food was incredible and service was outstanding! If you like martinis, they have many to choose from. We celebrated my husband’s birthday with a beautiful sunset view. (Thank you to the staff for making it extra special!)Seriously, a perfect dining experience! When in Key West, definitely dine here!”
“Great staff, excellent tapas, the beef tenderloin is a must and priced very fairly 👍”
“Bartender alone ! She made an Outstanding Old Fashion and grapefruit Martini.”

“Wow! What a resort! It has everything and I don't even have to leave for anything. Extremely relaxing, quite, staff were friendly and very accommodating. The food was delicious and the drinks fabolulous. It has a pool, two jacuzzis, a sauna, a steam room, locker rooms, and a sun deck. You can pay at the bar or charge it to the room. We stayed in an apartment which had all the amenities and it was very stylish. It has laundry, security, and cleaning services. We will be returning for sure.”
“This place is always my default go to burger joint when I let time slip away from me and everything else is closed before I realize it, I can always count on The Burger Den to come through 24/7! I personally love their burgers and breakfast dishes late night ?.
Vegetarian options: I don't know much, just know they have options.
Kid-friendliness: I know they have kids menus.
Parking: Located in a shopping center so plenty of parking, no worries.
Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp.”
“I booked this hotel for my daughter and friends. They had nothing but praise for the property. It was clean, staff extremely friendly and helpful and the location was perfect. If they get a chance to re-visit Key West, they expressed that they will re-book the same place.”
“Being from Canada we were looking forward to trying this little quirky restaurant on a boat . Ribs and brisket were excellent and best baked beans I’ve ever tasted. Apparently missed the neighbour hood manatee who lives in the port . We would definitely visit again !”

“It has such a cool vibe, the staff were super friendly and professional and the food and drinks were so fresh and delicious on top of being really gorgeous! 💗 I also loved the added touch of the dog bowls on the side walk, MANY dogs stooped to grab and quick drink. I recommend 10/10 !”
“Key Lime Pie was a priority on visiting Key West and this place seemed popular. Tried original key lime pie and coconut key lime bar on different visits and they tasted good--simple and not too tart--very satisfying.”
“The food is healthy and delicious. Staff friendly and kind. You don’t need a “Loyalty Card” just add your phone number and use your perks as you please. Customers receive credits with each purchase. This is a healthy alternative to calorie laden meals. Incorporate a few trips to Date and Thyme in your weekly routine and your belly will smile. Mine gets happy with the Blueberry Bliss smoothie, organic apples (quick snack), espresso, the prepared foods (some make a great meal right on premises). There is ample seating and shade to keep you cool. Be cool my friends!”
“This place was phenomenal all around. The owner greeted us, management all greeted us, and staff was attentive all around. Lobster pizza and the street corn pizza were phenomenal. I loved the Pina colada key lime pie. It is by far the best key lime I have tried. The view, the chickens, all of it!!”
“This spot came highly recommended by several locals as having one of the best Cuban sandwiches around, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Be sure to order the Cuban Mix with salami for the full traditional experience.
It’s a small corner bodega with a simple, no-frills setup, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in quality. The sandwich is made on authentic pressed Cuban bread and delivers great flavor in every bite.
There are a few barstools outside where you can enjoy your meal at the counter. Seating is limited, and it wasn’t clear whether the neighboring business provides access to restrooms or additional dining space.
If you’re looking for a classic Cuban sandwich done right, this little hidden gem is well worth a stop.”
“We first discovered Kava Culture - Key West about two years ago. It was just one block from our house, and even though we walked by it countless times, we really had no idea what it was. When we finally decided to go in, we were immediately welcomed by the kava tender, who took the time to thoroughly explain their products, how they work, the different types, flavors, and mixers available. It was a lot to take in at first, but incredibly informative. Over the next few weeks, we sampled different options and eventually found what worked best for us. Personally, I love the Red Vein Kratom. It’s very calming and does an amazing job relieving body pain. It feels similar to taking a pain pill, but without the “loopy” or impaired feeling. I can have a few and still be fully functional and ready to work—if anything, I tend to get more done afterward. I’ve dealt with back pain since an injury at 15 and made a conscious decision years ago to avoid becoming dependent on prescription pain medications. While you can certainly find horror stories online about kratom, like anything else, moderation is key. For us, that means a couple of drinks in the morning, a couple in the afternoon, and maybe one before bed. Neither kratom nor kava makes you feel drunk or out of control—just relaxed, comfortable, and clear-headed enough to take calls, answer emails, and function normally. Because of this, we’ve actually quit drinking alcohol altogether. Beyond the products, what truly sets Kava Culture apart is the sense of community. We live over 1,200 miles from our closest family members, and this place has genuinely become our home away from home. We spend holidays here with potlucks, gift exchanges, board games, and friends who feel like family. It has reinforced our belief that life in Key West really is better. Having a safe, judgment-free place where everyone knows your name means more to us than we can put into words. Highly recommend.”

“Small intimate history packed bar tucked away in the Pier House resort. Jerry Jeff Walker took Jimmy Buffett here in 1971. It was Jimmy’s first paid gig. Friendly welcoming bartender enjoys customers in search of Jimmy Buffett history. He provides kool info about former famous patrons. Pricey drinks but well worth a visit. Free shell peanuts, popcorn and hot dogs 🌭!!”
“Everything in here looked decadent. A place where you wish you could try everything. We came as soon as we researched Dubai Chocolate and found this shop near us. It exceeded our expectations was incredibly rich in flavor and great texture. I also had to have the Turkish coffee. One the best cups I've ever had. If you like dark dark coffee that is smooth; it is a must have. Our host was very nice and she gave us great service.”
“Perfect location on Duval! Easy walk to beach, bars, and restaurants. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Rooms have everything you need, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, beach chairs, beach towels, information on local attractions, I could go on and on… Oh and the fact that the rum bar is right downstairs is very convenient, maybe too convenient, lol! 🍹🥴”
“We are early risers, even on vacay, so I searched“coffee near me open now,” and saw Sandy’s. Being a huge fan of Cuban café, I was so excited to see that they open at 5am! Hands down, the best Cortadito we’ve ever had. We grabbed a Cuban sandwich to wait out a small rain storm and I’ve never been more thankful for rain, because it was absolutely delicious. The BREAD…iykyk. We’ve found our early morning spot, and will definitely be back!”
“Misohappy food and staff were friendly,great team work,great taste and plenty of food for the right price. I highly recommend this restaurant”
“I had breakfast with Brandon as well this morning. Those omelets were fantastic! Easy parking and the perfect spot between downtown and uptown. Great food and even better service. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks again!”

“We stayed down the block at a AirBnB so naturally got coffee and breakfast our first morning. It was so delicious we ate breakfast there every morning except for one (we had to leave for the ferry before they opened, so we ate dinner there that night!) All the food was amazing! Well seasoned, fresh, flavorful, and portions were huge! The coffee was perfect, I really loved the cortadito and milk espreso. The staff was friendly and offered recommendations if needed.”
“Great place. The ladies that worked the Greene St. shop are so sweet and friendly. When I worked for the Conch Tour Train it was my go-to at the Stop 3 😁 I've moved since mid 2022. If I get the chance to visit, I will definitely stop in for a cup of coffee and their delicious emenadas 😀”
“We went to Kino's Sandals and found this little spot. There's one table inside the air conditioned shop. The place reminded me of my time in Panama. The wife had the Lobster Roll, I had the Crab Cakes sandwich. Both were delicious. And what better way to wash it down than with couple of Jarritos. Not overfilling like going to a restaurant, just a good sandwich to handle the hungry for a few hours.”
“I was excited to try the food here after reading all the reviews. The service is great with very friendly staff. The food, however not bad, lacked flavor. I wasn't expecting this from a Caribbean food truck and felt disappointed. The price was also higher than what is shown in the pictures here.
The juice, though, was amazing.”
“Exceptional cake, tarts, cookies and cupcakes!!! They are efficient, skilled and absolutely delicious! They made personalized cookies for our nephews wedding swag bags, and were so yummy and very creative! Friendly, knowledgeable owners and staff and they delivered the best wedding desserts ever! Highly recommend!!!”
“We loved this restaurant. Our bartender at our hotel Parrot Key sent us and we were so glad she did. Michael was amazing!! The Brie wrapped figs were delicious. And the cheese sticks with lobster and shrimp were to die for!!! We will be back!! 🦐♥”

“Spectacular from start to finish, 3 hour fine dining experience with amazing menu options, beautiful wine list, and top quality service! A must if you’re in Key West!!!”
“if you truly want fresh fish, as well as coleslaw made when you order, fresh homemade black beans and rice, or french fries cut from potatoes that morning, B.O.'s is the only place you're going to get that in key West!!!”
“We just visited Key West for a week and we live in Ft Lauderdale and we know Cuban Food all to well. This Restaurant is UN BELIEVABLE IS ALL WE CAN SAY!! We ate here for Dinner 3 nights out of the six. Delish friendly and the Pollo Empinzado and the Flan !!! GO HERE PERIOD”

“OUTSTANDING!! OUTSTANDING!! OUTSTANDING!! Only way to describe my recent experience at Chef Richie’s Lola’s Bistro. Incredible dinner with amazing sauces. Everything was great from start to finish. Will definitely eat here again. Two seatings 6:00 & 8:00. It’s BYOB. Best meal I’ve had in a long time. This place is a home run. Make sure to call ahead for reservations.”

“Thank you for making my wife's birthday dinner enjoyable. Everything was first class. We have been here many times and Azur is one of our favorites in town.”
“Delicious food and great service! get.the conch fritters and mahi bites. best fritters we had on our trip!”
“Our first stop in Key West was, of course, the wine shop. It could not have been a better experience. We had dinner reservations at Lola, which is a BYOB restaurant, later that evening and needed wine to take to dinner. The owner, Mark, was extremely helpful when we asked for advice on wine for dinner and wine to keep at our house. His recommendations were spot on. The wines paired perfectly with our meal. He also took the time to give us a locals input on what to do and where to eat while we were in Key West. He not only provided us with great wine, he helped make our entire trip more enjoyable. Thanks Mark!!!”

“Best meatballs ever! Then my husband and I split a thin 12” pepperoni and mushroom - oh so good! Quaint and cozy! We shared a large table with other visitors and it made it festive. Service was wonderful. Beer and wine selection is generous. We stayed up the road and it was only a brief walk in the historic neighborhood. Highly recommend. My favorite meal while visiting Key West!”
“I highly recommend Irish Kevin’s. However after coming here for over the past 20 years, today May 25,2025 was the worse service we have ever had. We had the laziest waitress ever. Never came around asking if we needed anything. Then there were 3 of us originally and we told her it was 2 & 1 for the check. We then had a bunch of friends show up and she decided it was one check. It was hard to understand her but I don’t think she could understand us. So frustrating. This is my favorite bat in KW but if this happens again it will be our last. The entertainment is always top notch.”
“Absolutely wonderful food! Pizza, calzone, and carbonara were delicious! Calamari and caprese appetizers were fabulous too and atmosphere and service was top-notch! Highly recommend the location on Duval, down the alley!!”
“As someone who is gluten free I was ecstatic to receive a box of gluten free cupcake sushi. They taste amazing! No one even knew they were gluten free as I shared them. Thank you for making them so I could have something sweet for my birthday! I will be ordering more now that I know I can eat them!”
“They had smoothie sour 🍺 I had been looking for since I got here six days ago. I had went everywhere looking. Made my day, my vacation! Thanks a million!!!!”
“Amazing and unique food. The dinner was an experience with everything shareable and bite size.... the beef shortribs are the most tender you'll ever eat and the bok choy and char grilled cabbage were fabulous. Delicious! Highly recommend!”
“This is one of my favorite places to eat. Great menu, food, service, atmosphere and view! Laid back, low key, the perfect island vibe.”
“Fast, fresh delivery. Visiting the area and pleased to have such delicious food delivered so quickly! Spinach samosas were hot and steamy upon arrival and delicious. Falafel and gyro platter come with fresh roasted vegetables- a nice, fresh non-fried choice in the keys”
“Excellent food, above average friendly service and a warm cozy atmosphere! Spaghetti & meatballs and eggplant parm were both plentiful & delicious! Cool little bar, not a bad seat in the place! Looking forward to coming back again next year.”
“The level of sophistication in taking your money for little or no service is extraordinary. I was totally impressed by their extraordinary lack of anything close to costumers service and still being busy . A feat never in my lifetime have I’ve seen , bravo you have to be proud .”
“My husband and I were there tonight. We were at your restaurant 12 years ago and we had the Soul Mama soup then and I had to go back while in Key West to have it again. Even in 100 degree weather I had to order me some soul mama soup. The lobster special was very tempting, but I couldn’t pass up my favorite. Thank you for keeping Soul Mama on the menu ❤️🎉”
“Just had the best club sandwich. It’s a local Irish pub off the beaten path. Highly recommend.”
“This is a hidden gem in Key West. We will definitely stay here on our next journey to Key West.”
“Unbelievable! We had the calamari app which was sautéd. Freaking amazing! Next my wife ordered the Ceviche. Off the hook! Now for the coup de grace, the Black Grouper with passion fruit and mango chutney. OMG!!! A foodies dream! A must stop when in Key West!!!!”
“Loved the atmosphere, great music with Cliff Cody. The beautiful Argentina bar tender was awesome.”
“The staff is friendly and the food is great ! Half Shell Raw Bar is always a must when we stay in Key West. You will never be disappointed.”

“Just got back from Key West and have to say that we absolutely loved the Celtic Conch. We went back 3 times during our stay and jt immediately felt like our local pub. Stephanie the bartender was so fun & friendly and was a huge reason we kept going back. She gave us recommendations on things to do on our stay and greeted us like we were old friends. The owner was there and very friendly and the music was great. We loved Milo who played there one of the nights. Overall I highly recommend and hope to get back there again sometime.”
“This place was phenomenal all around. The owner greeted us, management all greeted us, and staff was attentive all around. Lobster pizza and the street corn pizza were phenomenal. I loved the Pina colada key lime pie. It is by far the best key lime I have tried. The view, the chickens, all of it!!”
“Have been there twice. Last year was amazing. Everything perfect. This year, the special was prawn (not gulf coast shrimp as specified) and the prawn had the seafood stank, unlike typical fresh seafood. Didn’t want to cause a stink. Way overpaid IMO, we’ll be back about a 50:50 shot. Wasn’t busy? Perhaps off season? Idk.”
“Had a blast! You exceeded all of my expectations with your tequila selection last night. From your single barrel Fortaleza “Horse Play” to the G4 6 barrel and the other extensive selection. Killer atmosphere def sets you apart from everywhere else. The DJ out back was sick and we will be back.Keep up the good work!”
“I scoped out this place before traveling here as I love Jerk chicken ! This place did not disappoint ! Very casual and about 8 stools - but the food was spectacular! The ox tail were beyond amazing - the jerk chicken was delicious along with rice and beans and the festivals ( like fried dough pieces ) So good you will not be disappointed !!”
“This is the perfect place to dine if you port stop in Key West during a cruise! The restaurant is beautiful and inviting, with authentic decor. I had the Brioche French Toast, and it was delicious! I loved everything about it. I paired my meal with a mimosa, which was the perfect choice with my meal. If I'm ever in Key West again, I will dine at Lolita's ❤.”
“Amazing staff, incredible cigars, and top-notch service — this place has it all! Love the drink selection (beer, wine, cocktails) and the interior is so clean and comfortable. One of the best cigar bars I've been to. Will definitely be back!”
“Amazing Thai food. Also wonderful sushi, sashimi and ramen!! I couldn’t believe how tasty the broth was as well as my octopus appetizer. SUPER HAPPY SUPER YUM!!!”
“Great experience during lunch. Go straight to the bar. It’s on the water. Beat the dinner crowd and enjoy a great view during a lunch visit. Much more relaxing! No reason to fight the crowds at night.”
“Great little food stand at the Windward Hyatt Vacation Club that’s a perfect microcosm of traditional Key West foods! We tried the conch fritters, coconut shrimp, BLT burger, and smoked Gouda mac and cheese bites - everything was absolutely delicious. The woman working the counter was so friendly and pleasant, which made the experience even better. Perfect spot for a tasty bite while staying at the resort and experiencing authentic local flavors. Highly recommend!”
“Stopped by Flama Cabana at Havana Cabana this past weekend and had such a great experience. The atmosphere is exactly what you want in the Keys…fun, relaxed, and full of personality.
Tosha was our bartender and she was absolutely amazing. Super friendly, high energy, and on point the entire time. Drinks came out quickly, were made perfectly, and she made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it shows.
I brought a friend who had never been before, and she’s already asking to go back—that says everything.
Between the vibe, the drinks, and the service, this place is definitely a gem. Highly recommend stopping in, especially if Tosha is behind the bar.”
“Good times, nice atmosphere friendly people easy to speak to. Good drinks great prices!!”
“We always have a wonderful evening at Viv. The avocado deviled eggs and the Italian charcuterie and cheese board (The Godfather) are favorites, along with their delicious bread. We enjoyed a French red blend with dinner and a sparkling moscato with the dark chocolate fondue for dessert. Live music in the evening adds to the intimate bistro ambiance.”
“We just visited KW and ate a lot good meals at different places but YUMMY CRAB was the best for sure. Our family all loved it. If we ever get to visit KW again this will be our first stop for supper. Great service and amazing food.”

“My husband and I have been coming here for years. It’s exceptional. We never have any problems with dietary restrictions and the service is 10/10”
“I ate here several years ago on Christmas Eve and had a good dinner. Was recently in KW for my birthday and wanted to eat there again. Had coconut shrimp and crab cakes. Both very good. I’d recommend.”

“Somewhere in that bar, you will find a painted plaque dedicated to Capt Mark Gamble, he and his wife perished on a vessel that was modified in Key West. Captain Paul Worthington was so touched by their story he allowed a painted plaque to be placed in his bar, You as a person from afar are allowed to drink here not knowing the history of the great masters who sat here like Hemmingway and Mel Fisher met their demise thur their love of the ocean. I miss all of these men dearly, I am shedding tears for all as I write this story. You are fortunate to sit in their shadow and consume drinks in a place where only the greatest of men have hollowed. This is not your normal bar, this is a shrine to men who loved the ocean and have perished. You should feel privileged to sit and drink here.”
“Great vibe and probably the best eggs Benedict I’ve ever had in my life Great service by Costa who kept us smiling and hydrated with lots of water to accompany our breakfast cocktail. Really enjoyable and will certainly go back whenever we get to Key West !”
“It is, hands down, our fave spot in Key West.m, for dinner. We always come for dinner when we are down in Key West. Max makes the best cocktails, and Susan is top-notch. I can’t recommend this place enough. My lobster risotto was out of this world. Thanks 🩷”
“We had our wedding dinner here March 28th and they were absolutely amazing! They handled our large party well, drinks and food were amazing and service was super fast! We will definitely be stopping in on our next trip!”
“We ate twice at Bagatelle on our vacation and it was an excellent meal both times. We got lucky and had Zuzanna as our server.She was amazing and fun to talk to. I had the swordfish both nights and it was excellent. The food and service was probably the best we had in Key West. We look forward to our next meal at Bagatelles.”
“We spent a nice evening here during a recent stay at the Hyatt Centric. Service great, dockside, marina, bay view … beautiful place to hang out, right next to the hotel pool! Lots of blue lights… made many of the pics blue… LOL. Drinks were typical island bar, but very good! We had the fish tacos and key lime pie, both delicious! Highly recommend you stop here!”

“This is hands down our favorite restaurant whenever we’re in the Florida Keys — and for good reason. We’ve never had a bad meal or poor service here. This visit was no exception and might’ve been our best yet. I had the crabcakes, which were perfectly crisped on the outside and packed with flavor. My daughter ordered the lobster ravioli and declared it one of the best meals she’s ever had. My husband went with the Caribbean pork chops — moist, tender, and full of island flavor. Even the kids meal impressed us: our grandson’s fish fingers came out looking like a full adult entrée, complete with freshly cut fruit. And yes, everyone wanted a bite of those fish fingers. As for the drinks: the Caribbean Mojito made with Bombarda Culverin Caribbean Rum was refreshing and just strong enough to remind you you’re on vacation. The Million Dollar Conch-A-Rita (their signature top-shelf margarita) with Herradura Blanco, agave, fresh lime juice, and a Grand Marnier float? Worth every dollar. We finished with the hot pineapple upside-down cake — warm, gooey, and absolutely dreamy. And as always, the view of the water is breathtaking. You just can’t beat dinner with a sunset over the sea.”
“Key Lime Pie was a priority on visiting Key West and this place seemed popular. Tried original key lime pie and coconut key lime bar on different visits and they tasted good--simple and not too tart--very satisfying.”

“Stopped for a quick breakfast on the wait out of Key West and was super impressed! The biggest freshest breakfast burrito ever !!! Filled with eggs, Cuban pork, hash browns and cheese. Will easily make the 6hr drive home without stopping for food....maybe a nap. Must stop !!!
The cafe con Leche was amazing too.”
