We took our freshly caught mahi mahi to Dante's and they prepared it for us. The fish was perfect as well as the coleslaw and fries. Our waitress was wonderful and did a great job taking care of us. We had such a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Dante's to everyone.

Rude management! Don’t make your customers suffer because you have technical issues. Took a picture of my card information because they don’t have internet? I had enough cash to be $3 dollars short and they wouldn’t just deduct the $3 so we could leave and catch our flight. sitting here wondering if they took my cash and are going to run my card. I’ve worked service for 10 years, these guys are chumps/ insanely rude.

Dante’s was incredible! We brought in the fish we caught on the Cora Beth fishing tour and for only $12.50 per person they cooked it up—half fried and half blackened. Hands down the best fish I’ve ever had, and the blackened seasoning was out of this world. Huge compliments to the chef!

The poolside atmosphere made it even better—laid back, fun, and perfect for enjoying fresh fish in Key West. We’ll definitely be back soon!

It's July in Key West, which means its hot, like hot hot. We stayed on Duval so we walked everywhere in the sun, yikes. My daughter is the one who discovered Dante's and suggested we go there and enjoy the pool. Upon walking in to Dante's, it immediately felt like a oasis in the middle of all the surrounding concrete and buildings. There is no cover charge or entry fee to visit Dante's. All you need to do is just enjoy some libations munchies from the bar area. The pool is filled with crystal clear water and is so inviting, and there are cascading waterfalls flowing over a series of cliffs right into the pool, creating a tropical backdrop. The entire oasis is surrounded by Tiki bars, chaise lounges, and lounge dining with umbrellas overhead to keep you cool while eating and drinking. The moment we sat, a very friendly server came over and took our drink orders, there were so many to choose from.

The drinks and eats:
We went for Key West Lemonade(vodka & pink lemonade) and the Poolside Daydream(mango, coconut, pineapple, guava, rums, mixed with tropical fruit juices). Both of the drinks were delicious and refreshing, but the Poolside Daydream, really hit the spot (several times, lol). For the eats, we had hot pretzel bites, super nachos, and the chicken tenders. Your typical bar fare, but very good and satisfying. We stayed for a few hours, enjoying the pool, floating games, having some drink and eats, and just chilling and relaxing at the oasis we call Dante's.

There is no other experience in Key West like this. It's a paid public swimming and drinking establishment. They say they keep the water sanitized. You decide. When it's a blazing 120 heat index you won't care. And neither will the 200+ other drunk people. . . .

Great place!
Bartenders amazing! Remembered your order every time!
Pool great!
Location perfect
DJ needs to look up from his keyboard and understand the vibes of his audience. He was playing for himself.
With a better DJ Dante’s will get 5 stars all the way. Learn what Being a DJ means.
