About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
A visit to our house is a unique way to relax and enjoy life's simple pleasures as well as our treasures from the sea. The word Bagatelle comes from the French and means "a trifle or a little nothing", often referring to a light, fun, yet not too serious spring time romance. The French brought their history of fine cuisine and their love of wine to the Caribbean Islands. It is in this tradition that we have combined our French heritage, southern hospitality and the indigenous tastes of the Florida Keys into the meals we prepare today. Our chefs blend the best of our locally caught fresh seafood, fresh produce and delicious tropical fruits for our tropical seafood dishes.

    We’ve eaten here multiple times over our 16 years of visiting Key West, and the food is always very good. This time, the service failure cascaded into it being a very non-standard experience. The server took our order without writing it down, including that my husband and I ordered the same steak with the same cook on it (I know, I know, but it’s what we wanted), only differing on the sauce for the steak. Somehow, she put mine in as a different steak. When I sent it back, she came by the table and said it was her fault, but they were cooking my steak and it would take a few minutes. Meanwhile, my husband’s steak was perfectly cooked (medium-rare+, perfectly cooked top to bottom) and very tasty and tender. When my steak was served, the cook on it was wrong and unrecoverable - it was a fully grey well around the edge but raw at the center, and no matter what you do to a steak at that point, it’s ruined and would never be properly cooked to a medium-rare+. I sent it back, and when the server said she’d ask for it to be cooked more, I didn’t need an entree because “more” wasn’t going to help. The server removed the dish from our bill (I would hope so), but that was it. So we skipped dessert (we never skip dessert when on vacation) and left. We mentioned it to the hostess as we left, just to make sure it was known by anyone other than the server herself. Please, don’t get me wrong. We have always had great food and outstanding experiences while at Bagatelle in the past, for breakfast, lunch, happy hour, and dinner. I would still recommend it. But this one time, the screw up by the server cascaded into an improperly cooked steak that was unrecoverable. Mistakes do happen, but the efforts to repair the mistake were inadequate, and I’d bet cash dollars it was because the server never told the manager what happened. So, for this one time, this server desperately missed the mark and absolutely ruined two perfectly good hunks of meat and my experience.

    So glad we decided to book here at Bagatelle. Using the Open Table app we were easily able to secure a reservation. When we arrived at the restaurant we were promptly seated. Service was on point. Drinks came out then some delicious warm bread with an option of their butter or olive oil. We then had burrata salad with arugula and heirloom tomatoes that was a great starter for us. My husband had the lobster fettuccine and I had the Hogfish. Both dishes were delicious and plentiful. We did not have dessert after such a filling meal. We will definitely rerun when we visit Key West again.

    Great experience in every way! Edgar was great. Thank you Edgar!! From the setting, decor, staff, food prep and presentation, communication, etc! Very relaxing other than the Hogs Breath Salon noise across the street.

    We were thrilled to be able to get into this restaurant after arriving on a late flight into Key West. However luckily there was a 9:45PM availability. Once we arrived we were shown a table for two on the front porch. We enjoyed the cool evening air. The service was great but not the kind that they are hanging over you either. Getting into the laid back Key West vibe. We had shishto peppers and heirloom tomatoes with fresh burrata on a bed of arugula for a starter. Hubby had the pork chops and was loving it all the way down to the bone. Served with garlic mashed potatoes and a side of asparagus. I had the Hogfish served with asparagus and black forbidden rice. Saved the espresso martini as my dessert. Very memorable dinner and great way to start on vacation in Key West.
