Almost everything I ate was delicious. I was with a large party and everywhere everyone enjoyed their meals.

The server seemed distracted and didn't attend to me nearly as much as I'd have liked. For example, I had asked several questions about an item and she convinced me to order it... but she didn't check on me or the item until about half an hour after it had been served. I was disappointed by the one thing I was concerned about with that...

I had a great lunch at Hemingways. I had the Mushroom Swiss burger & truffle fries and my fiancé had the red snapper sandwich grilled & blackened for lunch. I will definitely be back! It was my 3rd time and I have great food & service every time.

Update: still loving that Cuban. Super friendly and enjoyed my delicious seasonal iced pumpkin oatmeal latte while I waited.

Favorite place to go for great food! Ambiance, food, service, all on par. We frequent here regularly because we are locals, and we know where to eat. This is one of those places! Don't miss out on this one if you want great mojo pork and island vibes!!! Great key west vibe and based on earnest hemmingway and what you would guess his favorite dishes would be from Key West, Miami, and Cuba!
