This is the perfect spot for an elegant dinner to watch the sunset. The staff was extremely accommodating and attentive. Food very good.

My friend and I actually found this place via Trip Advisor and were able to make reservations for that same evening. We requested a table by the water and we weren't disappointed! We came a little early and had a cocktail in the bar while waiting for our table. The bartender was friendly and able to make some great suggestions... More

Disappointing evening meal, and wonder if the chef had the night off given previous reviewers. We had a few small tapas plates to start....unfortunately not very authentic Spanish - the potatas bravas was more like wedges in a thin tomato sauce(lacking all flavour) and the chorizo dish was just spiced mince. Paella tasted of plastic!! Competent but stilted service, definitely... More

Beautiful restaurant overlooking the ocean and by far the best view of sunset in Key West. The food was amazing, the drinks were phenomenal and the service was the best. If you go, and you should, request to sit with Louis. He truly made the experience for my wife and I. He was not only friendly, and knowledgeable about the... More

Great sunset location, just off Mallory Square in the heart of the sunset action. Romantic, excellent service and great food. Fit us in even though we did not have a reservation.

What a treasure...This was an outstanding experience from the moment I made my reservation with "Derek" to my last taste of key lime pie!! A must experience for anyone who loves great food, outstanding views, marvelous service - our waiter "Louis" was superior and most helpful with our choices. We were celebrating an anniversary and were made to feel so... More

We went prior to a ticketed event so our time frame for dinner was limited; we were fortunate to get in without a reservation - would have preferred eating outside but we had a nice view from our inside table. I agree with the other comments - allow time for the experience and be sure to have reservations and state... More

Mallory square restaurant with great outside searing to listen to the band outside. Food and service was great 5 The menus were novel with the back light so you can read the pages well. Watch the sunset, eat here, hit the lively bar just outside or the bar in the restaurant, lovely evening spent here.

Outstanding food, outstanding service and breathtaking view. Do not miss this hard to find place (next to the glass bottom boats), which is one of the best places in Key west. The food is excellent, the Key Lime Pie is the best I've tried in Key West, the service is excellent, friendly but not too familiar. Try to get there... More

We had made last minute reservations and were hoping to have an unobstructed view of the sunset only to be set outside without a straight shot of the sunset. Unfortunately, there were NO other seats available. We decided to stay and wait it out and we are very GLAD we did. My first recommendation is to book ahead if you'd... More
