The place is beautiful but if you are a vegetarian there isn't much for you to eat. The chef tried to accomdate my diet and I appreciate his effort but I was left hungry after the dinner. As we were about to leave the manager kicked us out because he claimed that the guests didn't like the fact that my boyfriend used some curse words as he spoke. This was my birthday dinner and the night was completely ruined by the manager. I have no idea why he rudely came and kicked us out instead of giving us a warning. If we were about to leave already he shouldn't have kicked us out and ruin my birthday without apologizing. We spent over 600 dollars to have our night ruined. I would really like an apology for the manager's rude actions and for ruining what was a beautiful night.

This was such an amazing experience. From the drinks, service, food and the atmosphere. We came to enjoy a special honeymoon dinner here and It was worth every penny. The views were spectacular. We would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a great experience.

This was by far my favorite meal of our trip to the Keys. The food was outstanding, it far exceeded my expectations. Yes it's pricey but it's worth it, especially taking into consideration the beautiful surroundings and the boat ride. My only regret is that we were unable to get reservations for dinner. If we ever return to the area I will be sure to book dinner reservations in advance.

Once in a lifetime experience. It was absolutely the most beautiful and magical night ever. From the service to the location to the ambience - everything was a 12 out of 10.It is very high end, so be aware that it will be pricey (we paid above 600 USD for 2) but if you can afford it, it’s worth every dollar.Lucy the deer, that came for food and cuddles to our table was my personal highlight and a moment i will cherish for a long time.Thanks again to the whole restaurant for this special birthday dinner.

The Dining Room" in the picturesque Little Torch Key, FL 33042, is a culinary gem. Their "Spicy Lobster Tacos" are an absolute sensation! From the first bite, I was transported to a world of exquisite flavors. The restaurant's ambiance, nestled in the heart of this beautiful location, enhances the dining experience. If you're seeking a truly memorable meal, "The Dining Room" is a must-visit destination. Don't miss the opportunity to savor their extraordinary "Spicy Lobster Tacos." Your taste buds will thank you!

My husband and I were celebrating our babymoon in the Keys and wanted to find a special restaurant. This truly exceeded our expectations and then some. The ride to the resort in the wooden boat was such a fun treat and the captain and his mate were extremely accommodating and even gave us a bit of a history lesson and tour. When we arrived at the restaurant, the staff seated us on the patio and were attentive all evening long. Our waitress, Claire (I believe this was her name! Apologies if I'm butchering) was a delight and very thoughtful with making swaps to my meal in light of my pregnancy. The food was fantastic, and they even brought out a special dessert with a small bar of chocolate that said "congratulations." The boat ride home was in a thunderstorm with scary lightning but the captain assured us we would be safe and got us back to land without issue. My husband and I keep raving about the entire evening and agree it is one of the best dining experiences we have ever had, even compared to European meals!

Simply spectacular. Service - fantastic. Linda was a great waitress. Setting - absolutely stunning. The food was great. We live on the water in Key Wear and this is our special place to go to and/or take guests to it's just so stunning. The boat ride in both directions is special too. For those not staying overnight on the island, you have to call ahead to book for lunch or dinner. Lunch is a three course fixed price affair, about $95 per person. It's a great place for a special lunch.
My husband and I had dinner here for my birthday. The atmosphere was really beautiful and so serene. We were there on a Wednesday evening and got to eat at a table right on the beach, along with just one other couple. Everything was so clean and beautifully decorated. There were some small biting insects on the beach but the staff lit some citronella tiki torches and provided us with a little bottle of deet-free insect repellant spray. The quality of the food was a little higher than other fine dining restaurants in the Keys. Everything was fresh, beautifully prepared, and had some unique flavor combinations that I enjoyed. The desserts were especially good - it often seems like desserts at other restaurants are just an afterthought, but here they were really something special. I had a mango mousse tart with fresh fruit and berries and every bite was exactly perfectly ripe and delicious which was surprising. It came with a really good sorbet as well. My husband had a key lime pie with crust made from cashews and it came with the most delicious passion fruit puree and meringue. The boat ride to and from the island was pleasant and comfortable and departed right on time. The negatives are that you must plan ahead and email them for reservations, but also that everything was quite expensive. But, it was a really unique and memorable experience so I would recommend it for special occasions if you enjoy fine dining and a really beautiful setting.

Very best experience in all of Florida. The live music and romantic atmosphere you cannot beat. The food is amazing. Fish is fresh. Cocktails are amazing. Can't find a thing wrong. You will be in love this place and your hubs. :)

I reserved this restaurant a month ago for my mom’s 60th birthday. I had information them it was my mom’s birthday hoping they would make it special. I had booked this restaurant after watching Shaun’s tik tok where he took his husband here for his birthday. They went all out for the tik tok influencer from printing his own birthday menu to making sure he had lit candles on his key lime pie. However they did nothing for my mom.I was on the phone with my 90 year old grandpa and got chastised for being on the phone to the point where our waitress brought the manager over because my 90 year old grandpa wanted to say happy birthday to my mom. I was on the phone for less than 3 minutes and no one said we couldn’t be on the phone until then.The appetizer I ordered was king crab, which was delicious but I was only served half a leg. My parents got the grouper ceviche which was extremely sour. The fish we ordered was bland no flavor (no salt or seasonings added however, cooked correctly) I ordered Grouper with a demi glaze the fish had no seasoning and the demi glaze was served on the side adding no flavor to the fish (the fish should have been cooked in the glaze) My parents had the yellow tail with a pineapple salsa luckily the salsa was served on top giving the fish some flavor. Still the fish was not seasoned.We spent $750 on this dinner for poor service, bring humiliated and bland food.I would recommend going to the latitudes instead.
