We dropped in one night after eating elsewhere and happened to catch Chef Brendan Orr relaxing after service, great guy. So we came back a couple nights later for dinner, absolutely fantastic and the upstairs outside dining is perfect. The classiest place in Key West. Here's the letter we sent... Hi Chef Brendan, Brian, and Norman and Wednesday, Thank you... more

Great food. Mahi-mahi was excellent as was the scallops. We got here early so the Mahi-Mahi special included appetizer and dessert, which we shared ($32). The fish was fresh and was delicious. We sat overlooking the street which was nice to watch the passersby. Service was good. Would definitely dine here again. more

We went here during our trip to Key West based on the reviews on tripadvisor. The food was delicious and the service was great. We ordered the empanada and the crab cake as appetizers. The crab cake was the best I've ever had. My fiance doesn't even like the taste of seafood but he actually liked the crab cake! Our... more

The Roof Top Cafe is located on Front street which is just off Duval near the pier. According to the hotel staff, they had a small fire there and reopened under new ownership but they had no idea it was even doing business. We told them to recommend it to everyone - it was so good. We went to dinner... more

This is a restaurant with everything. Key west atmosphere, excellent food and service. We dined inside but the air was well circulated yet not frigid - this is important in the Keys. Just a very comfortable ambience. If you go before 7 you can get the "Before the sun sets" menu for $32 per person which includes an appetizer, main... more

A friendly welcome and we were whisked to a little balcony overlooking Mallory Square, perfect. Cocktails then our favourite wine of the holiday ($10 cheaper than two other restaurants we visited that week) were joined by a fantastic rack of lamb and fish cakes, both were superb. My jumbo prawns followed with my wife enjoying the diver scallops, both were... more

Our meal was excellent, including top-notch service. We were able to take advantage of the fixed price "Sunset" menu (from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm nightly). For $32, you had a choice of first courses (we had the shrimp and crab cake with salad greens and little neck clams in a garlic broth), followed by entrees (pork tenderloin with a... more

My wife and I chose to dine here after reading other reviews here on Trip Advisor. The other reviews were very accurate. The ambiance is perfect for a romantic dinner. Our waiter Jonathan recommended that we try their clams, and gave us a money back guarantee - he said he'd remove them from the bill if we didn't love them.... more

Stumbled upon this jewel after watching the sunset and ministrals of Mallory Square. The wonderful serenade of classical guitar lured us off the streets and up winding stairs to a 'tree house' of lights and ambiance. An absolute perfect evening with my husband....if the teen kids weren't with us:) Oh, and our waiter looked like Ben Afleck; Laignappe! more
