Food can be a personal taste. For me fully deluding, nothing of what was served, from mussels to pasta Veneziana, to dentice (actually red snapper, which has nothing to do with dentice) was even far resembling Italian cuisine. However I have nothing to say against anybody liking fat and greasy food, wrong sauces and overcooked pasta. My complain was simply that it should be called Italian restaurant, since it has nothing to do, from ingredients to cooking, with Italian cuisine. Also wine choice was very mediocre, certainly not representative of Italian wines. The manager told me that over 100 clients we (2) were the only ones complaining. Even if true, this is not the answer one could expect, rather I would be supportive of somebody asking why. In summary, it could be the best restaurant in Key West for 98/100 guests but it is not Italian

Really good food and friendly and attentive waitress and waiter. We sat in the front outside and got to also enjoy the music from across the street which was perfect. The key lime martini was delicious and the spaghetti bolognese was perfect for my child!

We were a party of 4 and had a great experience. Both parties split a salad an an entree. The portions were perfect for seniors. The sword fish was one of the best we've had! The sausage tortellini's we amazing as well. It's a “let's go back” place! The ambiance was very nice and the low noise level. Service was slightly slow but they were very busy.

We celebrate my friends birthday here each year as part of our 2 week holiday. I let the restaurant know at time of booking what each visits has meant to us and our 6th time of her birthday celebrating. They did allocate a window table as I requested, however did not acknowledge her birthday at all. The greeter didn't really ‘greet' with a smile. Waiter was lovely but not one ‘Happy birthday' or candle in a dessert this year. Felt flat. Worst of our 6 trips over 7 years (covid year exception) Very disappointed. Will not be going again. Note: 7pm table and not at all busy so attention to detail was not due to restaurant being full. Far from it...

Had reservations for 6:30 and was seated promptly. Service was prompt and not overly attentive. Hog Fish was cooked properly and smothered in cream sauce. Long grain wild rice was lukewarm warm as well as the green beans. Salad was tasty and fresh. Tortellini with sausage was good. Very powerful wine flavor over the tomato base. You will get a good meal and leave full.

I really like this restsurant but tonight we were entertaining friends and the table of eight next to us were so loud and obnoxious that they ruined our dinner. I asked the waiter to address this and he told us he would alert the manager. The manager NEVER even came to their table to confront the loud behavior. It should not be up to other customers to confront such rude other clients. I spoke to the manager on our way out and he apologized but that did nothing to correct the issue or make our experience that night better after the fact. If you want to have a nice restaurant you need to run it as such!! The night was a waste.

Food was excellent as was our server. Everyone we go to Key West we have Sunday dinner there. A welcome change from the “bar” scene the previous few days. We choose something different each time and have yet to be disappointed. We love it.

Large portions and variety and very flavorful food. I would return to try different menu items.

We got to-go, and that is always a slippery slope. Even in the short trip back to the hotel, the food can get soggy, cold, etc, but none of that happened. We got the hogfish and snapper fish dishes, and the tastes are so distinctly different, it’s hard to believe they come out of the same kitchen. I started with the escargot, and add a third and equally delicious and different sauce was all over them. Use their incredible bread to sop up every bit, and whatever is left over can be used on top of your eggs the next morning! The atmosphere is really cool, as this gem sits right on Duval St. and the people watching is superb from the bar. Exceptional drinks made to order, and there are plenty of martini recipes you have not tried…or even thought of! Happy exploring!! This is a checkbox every time we visit the Isle of Bones. Reservations encouraged, but you can most definitely walk in and find room or place an order.
Really enjoyed our experience. Loved the atmosphere and the food and service was great! 10 out of 10. Would recommend.

I had the seafood ravioli. It was by far the best meal I had during my stay in Key West.

Walked in on a whim. Fantasy fest. Never ate at a white tablecloth joint in Key West. Was a bit skeptical. But it did not disappoint! Had the snapper with caper sauce. Awesome. Friends lived there food too. Service was good. Atmosphere was great. Fancy to be for Key West… but good. Would go again! Thanks!

Cold bread. Awful drinks. Entree mediocre at best. Won't be back. Has really declined over the past couple years.
