We had a wonderful meal and a fun cocktail with a coconut bubble The fish was excellent and the ceviche was delicious
Our meal was amazing and our waiter was fantastic! Loved the location loved the view, highly recommend.
My boyfriend and I were really looking forward to trying this restaurant, so we made a reservation for July 2025. We started with calamari, which was actually pretty good, and ordered a couple of drinks. For my entrée, I chose the lobster risotto — unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The lobster was overly salty and tough to chew, and the risotto was undercooked and hard. I politely told our server what was wrong, but she just apologized and walked away.
A few minutes later, the manager came over. I explained the same issues, and instead of addressing the problem, she questioned whether I was “familiar with Florida Keys lobster.” I told her I was born and raised in Key West and have had plenty of Florida Keys lobster — none of which were ever this tough or salty. I’d barely touched the dish (maybe three bites), but nothing was done. No comp, no discount, nothing.
The atmosphere was fine — the view was nice — and the service started off okay, but once it came to handling bad food, there was zero effort to make it right.

The best restaurant listed on Open Table in Key West . It definitely deserves a 4.9 rating. A must for dinner when in Key West
Edited to say: “What a shame”
Unfortunately, my family of five should have been ware of the empty tables this mid July.
The steaks were over charred (aka black) and over charged (85$ each).
My seafood risotto was literally rice with a charred lobster tail.
My son and daughter made it out safe via the chicken tenders and butter noodles.
Let’s not forget the 20$ cocktails and what was an attempt at a “Bahama Mama”.
Nice location.
Service was not great. Canned soda. Canned beer. Pour your own.
No one on the floor, everyone in the back. I guess gl hf?
Even with everything adjusted to fix the gross Negligence, a family of five should expect to pay 253$. Not a big deal if the food and service matched.
I don’t review or even complain often, but this was awful.
What a shame.

Ambiance was great. The outside deck provided an outstanding sunset view. The menue selections made were excellently prepared and presented, and the new restaurant manger was delightful (she was recently relocated from Texas). She greeted the us at our table and engaged us in pleasant conversation. Pricing was appropriate. Great experience all around!
Had an amazing Happy Hour / early dinner! The food was delish, the staff was so sweet, and the aesthetic inside and out was on point. Highly recommend this place! Bonus, they're local friendly, and you can feed the turtles while you wait 🐢
Meal: pineapple kiwi margarita, complimentary chips and tropical salsa, lobster empanada, catch of the day with amazing mango reduction sauce and the panacotta dessert.
Loved every bite / sip!

We had an early dinner, yesterday, Sunday, and we were the only people dining The location is lovely We enjoyed the seafood risotto, tomatillo gazpacho and lobster empanadas Strangely, the heart of palm salad was half a romaine lettuce cut into quarters, with a thick layer of shredded cheese, no dressing and maybe 6 or 7 slivers of heart of palm. I thought maybe there was a mistake and the heart of palm serving had somehow been missed. I brought this to the lady who was the manager on duty. She cordially listened to my remarks and asked if I might want some dressing on there... I remarked that I had expected a heart of palm salad, not a romaine salad. This item remained on our bill, which disappointed me The rest of the food was delicious and our server was very nice, so it seemed surprising that our disappointment with this particular offering did not seem to raise any concern
Great service! Yummy omelette!

Came in for a lunch and ordered their seafood and civiche with some lobster rolls. Waiter dumped our food onto the floor and we were forced to wait for another 30 mins. no apology either.
Food finally got to us and the seafood platter consisted of 6 shrimp, 6 raw oysters and a civiche that was more akin to a mayo salad with cooked shrimp, not raw.
The lobster empanadas were made with fake lobster and not fresh and then on the bill they altered the price to try and make up for their mistake.
DO NOT EAT HERE THEY ARE A SCAM.
This is wonderful place for great food and sunset watching.
Great!
I was so excited to try this restaurant but honestly, what a disappointment for the price point . The decor and building was run down and the food was way over priced. Way too casual for what we expected from the website. Definitely would not recommend or go back.
