Slow service! Chairs inside are super comfortable. Food was mediocre and unseasoned. Waitress came back once to check on us and then to give us the bill. I believe either the owner or manager was way more helpful. Mind you we drove over an hour to come eat. 10 out of 10 DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

Very friendly service. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Full bar available. I ordered their fried fresh catch of the day basket. The fish was triple fin, and it came with fries. Delicious. My husband ordered their Cuban Rueben, and said it was outstanding and unique.

Great place to snag a meal. Rueben Cuban combo was delicious. Fish of the day was great.

Had high expectations for this place based on a recommendation. We were a party of 3 and were told there were no tables available- we found our own table after putting our name on the waitlist and seeing people after us get seated. The food overall was underwhelming- the fried food looked like it had been cooked in old oil- was charged $3 more for onion rings which I was not informed of- it was taken off of the bill. We will not return here and regret not leaving and going somewhere else. They appeared to be short staffed with staff running around like crazy people. Band was a nice touch.

My friend's mushroom risotto was amazing, the cracked conch overcooked. Threw a new server to the wolves (their words). Table next to us turned the ceiling fan off, it was so breezy (indoor seating) we may as well sit outside with the live music. Parking lot was a 10 min ordeal to get in and everyone backing up the full length of the driveway.

There was a cockroach in my salad last night. Immediately we all lost our appetites.

We arrived at 5:45 and were seated. Our order was taken and then we sat for 1hr and 10 minutes with no food. We asked and they said the printer in kitchen was having issues. We were understanding at that point but as food started coming out ours was not. People seated long after us were getting food and when we asked again they said our food would be rushed. 15 minutes later we asked again when tables behind us were getting their main course and we still hadn’t received our appetizers. They apologized again and said they were on it. 10 minutes later we checked again and they said sorry our ticket was still sitting there. At this point we asked for our check and left after sitting for 1.5 hours and receiving no food. That is bad enough but no one ever came to us for updates. We had to keep asking.

Lazily made watered-down drink (which had to be sent back). The potatoes had a distinct frozen taste, and the coldness of it didn't help. Their chimichurri steak left a lingering foulness of pickle juice and overcooked meat.

Stopped by this place on the way home to Delray. Enjoyed the dishes. The bill came to $50 without drinks. Took off one star for the long wait for two extra pieces of bread I requested—they brought them after 15-20 minutes when I had already finished my meal. However, they did remove them from my bill.

We had the Cuban sandwich with fries and the filet medallion appetizer. The “filet” was over done, and that was not a filet. Maybe a chuck steak. The fries were soggy and the Cuban was basically deli meat folded on rye bread. They allow smoking outside so if you’re choosing to sit outside to enjoy the night air, you’ll have the luxury of smelling cigarette smoke.

They have advertised on their Easter buffett menu: "For dessert; 'our award winning key lime pie' & assorted pie flavors." No where on the menue does it say that it costs extra. We asked our server about it & he said "oh, that's just a suggestion but it's extra". That's FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.

So me and the wife decided to try this place got the crab cakes nachos and 2 Angus burgers ordered med well the were still rare as all get up. I don't even think they were Angus burgers. They look like frozen soy burgers to me definitely not fresh crab cakes tasted like they were cooked in bad oil I would not recommend this place for the money you spend our to go order was like 66 and change when I called them that night she said someone would call me back never did and today the lady that answered the phone was rude as can be.now I'm not a tourist I'm a local chef in the key west area.

The chimichurri steak is delicious but as far as the fresh fish it looked like a piece of frozen fish and conch fritters were burnt to a crisp and it took forever to get beverages from a place that was not busy on a Tuesday night. The only reason I gave them three stars is because the skirt steak was delicious and the mashed potatoes but as far as the pace of service it was not an enjoyable evening. But to end on a positive note the side salad and the Caesar salad where good also.
