Fun, weird quirky place. Star Wars X-wing fighters hanging from the ceiling. X-men comic book and a Wolverine action figure hanging on the wall. Yet this place still pulls off a romantic vibe.Not easy to find the place I think that might be intentional. It’s almost like they dare you to eat there, if you can find it.Key west is loaded with great restaurants. This was our favorite of them all.A party of two, I couldn’t decide between the snapper and the tasting trio. They were nice enough to swap out the grouper with the snapper. My date had the tasting trio with the grouper and we shared the appetizer tasting trio. Everything was delicious. Don’t miss out on the lobster Mac and cheese it is the way of the Jedi.

Great little hidden gem. Service was outstanding, food was fantastic and reasonably priced and the atmosphere was star wars based background but not overwhelming. Great place for couples and families with kids over 7. Definitely on the list for our next KW vacation!

The portions are very small ( appetizer size) and not worth the price. We got the scallops wrapped in bacon and the trio combo and both were good but very small.

Not worth the price at all. Was expecting a more higher quality meal for the price & how many amazing reviews we’ve seen. The portion sizes are tiny compared to how much the price is. We got the lobster Mac and cheese app. However I would say it did taste fairly good but (Do not share because it’s barely enough for 1 and 28$).We also got the lobster tomato soup with grilled cheese which sounded fun and unique but tasted like a can of tomato sauce and the grilled cheese wasn’t even toasted…The trio of entrees was tiny in portion size, and the strangest flavors mixed together that did not complement well. I would say the quality was low, and the fish was dry.The shrimp we got was good, so if anything you order there I was say that’s your best bet.

After making our reservation for the wrong day we showed up to no table for us. We were graciously offered bar seating and it actually turned out better than table service. This meal was far and away the best meal we had during our week in Key West. From the appetizer to the entree to the desert to the wine recommendation, everything was spectacular. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was top notch. Just a spectacular and memorable meal.

This place is a must visit in Key West! The food is incredible, the staff amazing, and the wine selection superb. We had the Coconut Shrimp Red Curry and the Three Way Filet Chili. The chocolate adds a dimension to the chili that is unexpectedly and fantastically delicious. The red curry has a kick that's not too hot for my delicate palate and the crusted coconut shrimp is not to be missed. I personally am obsessed with Tempranillo. Theirs does not disappoint. Pick up a bottle with dinner and you're all set. A gem just off Duvall. Do not pass go. Come for the food. Stay for the Star Wars.
