My husband and I stayed at Casa Marina for a wedding and ate multiple meals at Dorada as well as several other local restaurants. Dorada was hands down the best food, service, and atmosphere out of everywhere that we dined. The chefs special pizza had burrata, grilled tomatoes, and blackened shrimp on it and was AMAZING! Our server Uygar was very attentive and gave such great recommendations! I can’t recommend this place enough!

We just spent 5 days at the Casa Marina Resort and spent plenty of time at Dorada during our stay. The bartenders were awesome - shoutout to Kaya & Mike! After getting engaged on the beach, we enjoyed the Toes in the Sand dinner experience with Penelope and had an amazing dinner! Penelope was great (she also had some great restaurant recommendations for the rest of our trip), the ambience and view couldn’t be beat and the food was incredible! Highly recommend a visit to Dorada when you visit Key West!

Amazing. Food is rich and tasty, a must try is definitely the key lime pie as its one of their specialties. The athmosphere is simply fantastic, the ambiance is calm and relaxed. And on top of everything the staff is welcoming and very friendly, big thanks to Uygar for his help.
