We had best wait staff led by Blonde! We ate up stairs in tapas restaurant. We had so many delicious dishes! Curry scallops, truffle fries with smoked Gouda melted cheese dip, an Asian beef dish (to die for like Curry Scallops) Beat salad was really good! Great atmosphere

If you're looking for an upscale dinner atmosphere while in Key West, this is a great option. Absolutely gorgeous sunset views over the Atlantic, some of the best service we had any restaurant. Wish I remember her name, but she was quick and attentive. The food was expensive, but honestly everything was expensive, so for the quality of the food, atmosphere, and service I felt like we got what we payed for. There's an additional bar a level down from the dining area right on the water. I wish we would have made it over there at some other point during the week for drinks, and we left far too full to get any after dinner. We visited the keys the last week of September and the island was noticeably not crowded but I could see reservations here being a must during the busy season.

Great location with wonderful patio/deck seating on the beach. It is no wonder it won't the 2025 Best Waterfron Dining Experience in Key West!
We had a couples drinks and appetizers around lunch. Don't miss this spot when you are in Key West.

We went to brunch here on Saturday we were sat at a table and the bus boy brought water over right away and then we never saw anyone again we sat there for 20 minutes while every server walked by us other tables were sat right next to us that were served so I did what I hated to do I have to get up and go back to the host to stand and ask them for our server. My husband and I were in the business for over 20 years so being in the business and going to an upscale restaurant like this you just assume you're going to get great service which we did not. We ordered two bloody Marys that were not good at all there was nothing special about them we had other bloody Marys on the island that were absolutely delicious so they obviously need to work on this this is a key drink for in the morning especially when you're on vacation. The food was very good and when we were finished the manager came over and asked if we wanted to dessert on the house. We ordered two desserts to try them he said the key lime pie was excellent so that's what my husband got he said it was not good no flavor looked pretty but no flavor I ordered the bread pudding it was warm but just okay. When we got the bill we usually just pay and never even look at it and I asked my husband to look at the bill and I saw that we were charged for one of the desserts so desserts are on the house? So overall I was extremely disappointed with this place I've been going here for over 30 years every time I visit the island and even though the ambiance is obviously amazing I wouldn't eat here again there's other places on the island that have way better service way better food and a great view.

I would love to give Louie’s a 5 star because the view outside while dining was amazing. However, our waitress was not. After someone else brought our food she never returned to the table to check on us. I had a salad with fried shrimp which was good but there were only a few shrimp on the salad. This visit was disappointing compared to the last several times I’ve been here.

Don't miss this restaurant! We sat upstairs for dinner and had the most incredible evening! The staff went out of their way to be professional, thoughtful, and friendly. Our daughters said the Caesar salad and truffle fries were the best they've ever had! I had an epic scallop dish, and it was by far my favorite meal while in Key West. We highly recommend this restaurant for its beauty, menu, and staff; you won't be disappointed.

Always been a big fan of Louie’s and been coming here for years sitting at the back bar. Great spot for views and atmosphere - upscale yet down to earth. Reason they’re missing the mark - they changed their fries. Sounds silly but the Prime Rib French Dip sandwich is incredible (and not cheap) but they now have these awful frozen tasting fries. It just makes the place feel like a regular crab shack - huge miss and part of the reason I don’t hurry back for food anymore. Small details matter.

Service, food, location. All excellent. One of the few places you can still enjoy a true, well made cocktail. Extraordinarily unique, I hate sharing this spot!!
Fantastic 5 star restaurant! Food and service was great! Shoutout to the cooks who came out and helped get our golf cart unstuck from the sand. Great people. Would definitely recommend.

A True Gem!! Nestled in the corner of Key West on the beach is this charming house that is home to Louie’s. The expansive view from the backyard patio and bar is breathtaking. We started our food flight with the Foie gras on toast alongside a portion of 3oz Florida lobster meat smothered in a cream sauce with julienne strips of prosciutto and spinach served in a miniature Dutch pot. Both were delightful and very tasty. We were fortunate enough to have their amazing bread served piping hot with hotel bar size butter which was a treat in itself. It came in handy to soak up the extra cream sauce from the lobster dish. Next we made our dinner choice the double cut lamb chops. I’m so glad we did!! Cooked to perfection and topped with a chutney of sorts with a Madeira sauce…We couldn’t even have dessert since we were so full from the food. Absolutely top tier food and ambience!!! Great for date night or even a family gathering. Looking forward to my next meal there….
Maria is the best! This place is a gem❤️
