We went here because our fishing guide recommended them to cook our catch. The fish turned out great but they only cooked it one way - with beans and rice and those didn't have much flavor and they were on the cool side when served. The atmosphere was ok but it wasn't crowded and we got there just before the DJ stopped. I'm sure, with the DJ and pool, the place probably gets kind of crazy sometimes- which wouldn't be for me.
We hadn’t been to Dante’s in more than 10 years, and finally made it back to Key West this weekend. It has barely changed—and that’s exactly why I love it. With all the new construction and commercialism that have transformed Key West and the rest of the Keys, Dante’s has held onto the charm of old Key West.
If you are going here, you know what it is. A moderately hedonistic pool party for those past their prime and others that are paid to be there. This last time, I did actually see people getting out of the water to use the bathroom-this time. Usually they just use the pool-either way, I would not get the water in your mouth unless you are a Rkelly fan. Prepare for an eye full regardless, make sure your vaccinations are all up to date and have a great time!
