Really good hoppy ipa (white ipa) good burger . Ordered rare was a little closer to medium but still good . Pasta with blackened chicken was great Good value and not super packed good around sunset for a chill outdoor patio just off Duval

The meal was great with MahiMahi and yellow fin snapper. The wine was great. The key lime pie was very disappointing with chocolate to mask the lack of flavor. The server was great and we enjoyed the dinner.

We went to this restaurant solely based on reviews and it did not disappoint. The drinks were excellent, the food was incredible, and the ambiance very inviting. You won't regret going here.

We waited for our food for an hour and were just about the only people in the restaurant. We have always loved this place and it's history but will never go back again. I wish there was a “zero star” option.
Ordered seafood fettuccine.. Shrimp we very small . We have great key west pinks. Rather have 4 or 5 med fresh shrimp that popcorn shrimp. For the price point expected higher quality..over all dish was ok. Sever stopped by but ok service.

Great location off of Duval Street. The outdoor dining is the major draw. The food and cocktails are good and affordable. If you want an outdoor Key West dining experience that is not associated with a lively and noisy bar, this is the place.
Booked our reservation at the right time. Arrived before things got busy. Allowed everyone to take in the area and the service. Very pleasant staff, providing a nice balance and variety on the menu. Thank you so much
Our server at First Flight was delightful, friendly and did her best to accommodate us. Unfortunately, the food was below par. Our butter old bay wings had no flavor, the chicken in the Alfredo chicken was tough and the seared tuna dish was coated in cayenne pepper and inedible. The atmosphere was nothing like the online pictures. Very disappointed and will definitely not go back.
As a local, we have been to this restaurant several times and while we have never had anything outstanding I have always enjoyed my meal. This experience was awful. My steak was totally overcooked. When I cut into it and saw how overly cooked it was I asked our waitress if this was their standard for rare steak. She said yes and walked away. No concern that it was brown throughout. Later a manager strolled by and said “I hope everything is good”. We said actually the steak was over cooked with no flavor. He made excuses with little concern. In summary, I did not eat my meal and the only person who seamed to care was the busboy as he cleared away my full plate.
Was able to book easily through Open Table for Easter brunch after church. It's a beautiful setting. We sat outside and enjoyed our drinks and food. Will come here again if we're back in Key West!
The atmosphere was wonderful, but the food was just OK, and service was extremely slow at our high top in the bar area. We ended up going up to the bar to order because we weren’t getting service at our table. For the price, we expected more.

Don’t go!We came for my wife’s 40s birthday and had booked seats in the courtyard.Because of a wedding we were moved to the roof and had to sit on temporary chairs with temporary tables.The 16$ glass of red wine was served in a whitewine glass.The steaks we ordered were not cooked the way we wanted them to be.One piece of meat tasted like soap.The manager was not open to our immediate feedback, some of his staff even acted rude.I felt bad for the server for the incompetent management and the poor performance of the kitchen.

Nice atmosphere, outside patio. Slow service, even though we went mid afternoon on a weekday so they weren't that busy. Servers were ok. My complaint was they didn't come back after the food was delivered to check on things. I needed salt and a refill on my drink and no one came to see how our group was. One of our group had the brisket panini, it was mostly an onion sandwich, very little meat. My wife's brussel sprouts were not cooked nearly enough, very tough. They did take those off the bill after we complained. I had the brisket Mac and cheese. It was good, large portion.

Arrived 10 mins early for our reservation and were thankfully seated right away. Took about 20 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us or bring water to the table. When we told the server we were ready to order, he tried to push appetizers on us. It was an 8:15 reservation but we had two kids - we were already pushing it and this guy did not understand. We waited a full 45 mins for food after ordering, longer for the check. He was working hard but the kitchen must have been seriously backed up. Food was pretty good. Ambience is great. But don't go hungry or with children, or plan to wait.
