Incredible dining experience! Service was on point, thanks to our server, Wilson. We ordered 3 appetizers, 2 entrees and 3 desserts. Everything was paced out perfectly. The food was phenomenal! Crab “cakes”, scallops (with possibly the best pork belly I’ve had), and bisque to start. Miso glazed grouper and veal chop for entree’s and a mix of desserts. Everything was remarkable. My compliments to Chef Laurence.

First off, we sat outside, while it rained, and it was delightful, hence the five star rating for the venue. Our server was fantastic, professional, informative and maybe was a chef himself, as he was very informative.We enjoyed local fish and ceviche, some of the best flavours imaginable, the chef showed off his talents with our meals. Bravo! Key Lime Pie for dessert, I heard it was the best in Key West, I may have to agree.The staff was very attentive, even if they needed to run into the rain to look after us. Thank you for such a wonderful evening. We will stop by again if we come back for another visit.

The food was excellent, as was the service (though our waiter was somewhat patronizing). The cost was absurd.

The food here is always amazing. The main restaurant side can get so loud you cannot hear your dinner companion right in front of you. Definitely worth a visit for the food!

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.

Exceptional food, service and ambiance!! The crab cake appetizer was amazing as was the swordfish and our other entrees. The service was top notch and the chef came out to ensure we enjoyed the food. Bravo team Marquesa.

This was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. The quality of the food, the service, and ambiance were top notch. Paul was our waiter and he was very knowledgeable about the menu. We hope to be back next time we are in Key West.

Favorite restaurant to go to in Key West. Food is exceptional as is the service. Love it every time I go.
Excellent. The Cafe Marquesa team clearly strives for perfection and delivers 100%. Waiters are friendly, obviously carefully recruited, trained and most attentive. Food excellently prepared and presented, and tasty. The best Chef in town? Property well laid out, clean and tidy. Nothing left to coincidence. Restaurant situated in a safe neighborhood, off noisy Duval. Enjoy!
Swordfish piccata was excellent! She crab soup was also great! Chocolate cobbler delicious! Can't say enough good things! Stephanie waited on us and was very attentive. Best restaurant we've been to during our stay thus far.
We had a superb dinner last night!! The app , mahi mahi and swordfish were cooked to perfection! The beignets were fabulous! Thank you for serving us from our visit from key largo! We'll be back without a doubt!! Our server was the best!!( sorry I don't remember her name). Maria and Don
Truly fine dining, atmosphere was incredible, service exceeded our expectations from the moment we walked in until we were graciously walked out. The food was was only surpassed by the presentation . An incredible experience, better than I have had at some Michelin restaurants.

Very disappointed in the food. The meal tasted horrible, better off going to McDonalds. The miso glazed grouper was particularly bad. However, the service was excellent. The waiter was nice and helpful, and the bartender made great drinks. Sadly, this wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster meal.
