Spent some time in Key West over the weekend and stopped in for dinner. Ambience was unique and the food was incredible. Between my wife, my daughter and I, we ordered the chili, bacon wrapped scallops, grouper, Szechuan beef noodles, and fried bananas with ice cream. Every dish was outstanding but what stood out was the managements accommodations. When we arrive we were seated inside with a few other customers enjoying their meals. Unfortunately our 3yr old daughter was being a bit loud/rambunctious leaving me to take her outside a few times to avoid ruining the other patrons meals. While outside, a gentleman who I believe was the owner, asked if an outside table would help us. We agreed it would and he immediately sprung into action rearranging the outdoor furniture for us. He also brought out a few of his “action figure” rubber duckies for my daughter to play with. Above and beyond!! Highly recommend not only for the extraordinarily good food, but the top notch service.

The food is amazing ! Had watermelon and tuna ceviche and the tomato lobster bisque ! It was sooooo yummy Hubby got the ribs and I got the curry and it was all SOOO good. Can’t believe I haven’t eaten here til today. Will definitely be back. THEYRE CELIAC FRIENDLY. Ask the server and they’ll name everything that’s celiac safe! What a blessing.

Small, quaint, quiet restaurant off Duval Street. Good service and nice wine selection. The food was amazing! We had spinach salad, bacon-wrapped scallops over mashed sweet potatoes and lobster mac and cheese. Décor is a bit eclectic. Wish we lived in Key West, we would go back more than once!

We had dinner here on a weekday night in November. Our server Ryan immediately made us feel right at home. Super friendly and very accommodating. My wife had the spinach salad custom made to her preference, and without our even having to ask, he had the kitchen split the salad that I shared with her brother. The menu is very creative with lots of choices. The grilled shrimp starter came with six grilled shrimp and was enough for a dinner portion. The entree trio was amazing--filet mignon with blue cheese butter, three grilled shrimp, and lobster Mac and cheese, with a heaping portion of mashed potatoes. An absolutely amazing dish. The filet mignon was so tender and tasty. One of the best I've had. While there are no cocktails, the beer and wine selection is extensive. Lots of interesting desserts. We chose spicy quesadillas with chocolate sauce and a dish of vanilla ice cream on the side. Very tasty. All our food was expertly prepared, fresh and delicious. Service was superb, and the ambiance was very nice. The restaurant is relatively small inside. Perfect for a romantic dinner, special occasion or just a relaxing evening. We will definitely return the next time we vacation in the area. If you want a terrific dining experience, this restaurant is the place to go.

There are not enough stars in the sky (or on the internet) to give to this restaurant so, sadly, I must award them only five stars. My spouse and I ate at this restaurant 2 years ago on our last trip to KW so when we came back and experienced the same level of hospitality and delicious food to say I was delighted was an understatement. Brian and the rest of the staff are the real gems here. If you want a mix of genuine humanity and humor then please make a reservation for this KW original. The ambiance, decor, and cuisine are not to be missed either. (I strongly recommend the bacon wrapped scallops.) With so many restaurants to choose from on the island I hope you will stop by and experience what the staff works so hard to offer; good food and great atmosphere. Thanks again for another great night and making our anniversary dinner one to remember!
