The service was terrible. Our waitress ignored us, we had to ask for refills 3 times, she was rude and the she asked for a tip at the end of the meal. Never again!!!! more

Kelly may be a great actress, but she needs to do a better job overseeing her restaurant here in Key West. We went on the recommendation of a friend and were very disappointed. I ordered an appetizer, baked brie, for my meal. I've had better brie from the grocery store. Spouse had fish, which he reported was not very tasty.... more

My wife and I went to Kelly's for a little food and a couple of drinks. Even though the 2 bartenders saw us, they would not come over to serve us. This was even though there were very few people there. They decided to just continue talking to each other.. We then went in the dining room and nobody served... more

Okay so President's Day week-end in Key West is busy. And we did show up for dinner without a reservation around 9 pm. Have a beverage in the bar while waiting for a table. Deal. Don't have the wine my partner wants. She is disappointed but decides on something else. Bartender is slow and unfriendly. Shrug it off. Then see... more

My girlfriend and I went to Kelly's on Valentines Day and were initially very pleased with our decision. The setting in an open patio is very pretty. However, this is were the good experiences ended. Upon being seated it took quite a long time before our waiter even came to our table. Unfortunately, even when he did come to the... more

We ate there Dec 23. The service was very good, and our server was willing to rate the menu items to help us choose. The large patio and trees made for a nice evening outdoors, and a hen and chicks provided some laughs. The food was good, but not spectacular. Kelly's offers its own beers made on site, which is... more

Went there 12/25, got seated right away and had the choice of a Prix Fixed menu or several ala carte choices. Decided to go with the fixed and what a delight it was. The server we had was quite knowledgeable about everything we asked about and was incredibly pleasant. The food was quite timely and was very very good. Two... more

The only reason I did not rate it the worst was that our sever at the table, from Boston, was very nice. My first experience here as I was staying at the Banyan next door. The main reason for my poor review was the bartender, Chris. Not sure I could have searched and found a more rude person that makes... more
