About the restaurant

Key West seafood restaurant in the heart of old town on Petronia. The menu is kept small so that everything is nice and fresh for you. Yellowtail snapper, fish of the day, Key West pink shrimp, and seafood medley highlight the menu.
Deviled Eggs topped with Scallops, Shrimp Mango Toast and Crispy Pork Belly Croustinis tantalize the pallet. Beef stroganoff made with certified black angus beef is a favorite.

Relaxing, unpretentious, and romantic.
Seating is very limited. We offer a 6 pm and an 8 pm seating.
24 Hour Cancellation window.
For the consideration of our guests, we do not accept parties over the size of six (6), without the permission for the owners.

Key West

About the restaurant

A premier choice for fine dining in Old Town Key West.

Like Charleston and other great ports of the South, Key West offers endless inspiration for chefs. Once a stop on trade routes to the Caribbean, the island developed a signature cuisine that’s practically an open book for flavors. Pair this with the bounty from two bodies of water and the signatures of great chefs who have dedicated time here and a compelling cuisine emerges.

From its inception, Café Marquesa has led the way in expressing a unique, coastal cuisine. Our kitchen combines the finest seafood, meats, and produce with classic preparations and creativity. We offer fine dining with an authentic, homespun essence, like freshly baked bread and desserts made daily in-house. A local favorite for special occasions, and a place to settle into and savor. Every dinner layers memory upon memory. Join us and find yours.

We’ve tried most of the restaurants in Key West. Atlas Izakaya is a unique experience and a hidden gem. Quaint surroundings, great service, and really good food. We had the lobster Bao buns (yum!), pork/crab dumpling (not my favorite), and the Snapper Yakitori (also yum), and the spicy broccoli (double yum). Also a nice saki flight and cocktail. The mark of a good place is asking yourself if you want to return again. Yes, we will be back to this one!

About the restaurant

Chef Marek is inspired by the pizzerias of New York, and he is bringing that inspiration to you to enjoy in the heart of the local scene in Key West, the White Street District. We also have a selection of delicious entrees to enjoy. So please join us for a special evening of relaxation with cold beer, fine wine, and friends old and new enjoying great pizza, scrumptious entrees, and salads. A casual experience with gourmet food in a century old house that some say may have a ghost or two. Please make a reservation as space is limited and we want everyone to enjoy Key West's latest addition to the dining scene. Rock n roll fans step to the front with your munchies.
Our pork chop is a must try.

About the restaurant

Café Solé has captured the hearts and palates of locals and visitors lucky enough to discover this culinary gem off the beaten path. By combining his French mastery of sauces with fresh locally caught seafood, John has created a menu unlike any on the island, where every dish is bursting with indescribable flavors. Mutton snapper in pesto and champagne, yellowtail in a beurre blanc of lobster or a rare hog snapper with red pepper zabaglione top a list of nightly specials. As for the classics, the Duck a L'Orange, Rack of Lamb with herb de Province and Lobster Bouillaise are as authentic as you will find this side of Paris. Chef Correa combines the best of both of his worlds, European and Caribbean to win the People's Choice and Best Entree awards at a recent Master Chefs Classic

Our server Kelsey was fun, friendly and attentive. We were a group of 8. Many of us had the restaurant’s signature Hogfish dish as our entrees, which was excellent. Especially with the 4 different vegetable sides. Other favorites were the clams as well as the beet salad as appetizers. A charming setting too. Highly recommended !
