Recently visited as a party of 25. We were very excited to visit however once they saw our large party they insisted on one check. We explained that we would have about 8 checks and they proceeded to just get nasty about it stating they could only do one check. I personally thought they would be happy to have us... more

We ate here on our first night in Key West and were not disappointed. Drinks were great, we had Al Ajillo (shrimp) and the special, which was seafood stew. We ate outside and they had dancing in the street behind us. They also have TV's up that you can watch the dancing, if you're not seating where you can see... more

My husband and I ate here on our 1st night to Key West. The service was excellent, we chose the paella for 2 and were not disappointed! There was live music nearby, and close to Mallory Square festivities. We even had a visitor to our table (a cute stray cat) looking for a treat. more

We used to always stop here for a mojito before watching the Mallory Square sunset celebration. This trip we decided to share some appetizers and mojitos following it instead, so we could have the pleasure of sitting on the garden patio, listening to the music, and watching people dance. We had the #7 Mollete a la Pancho and the #16... more

The sandwiches were very good but not special. The service however, was terrific! Our waiter, Orlando, was personality plus with a great sense of humor and a willingness to share his knowledge... more

We did not eat at this restaurant because we found it so late in our trip, but it will be on our list to try next time. We heard the food was wonderful. However, the atmosphere is absolutely worth a trip alone! Located in a large, old brick building situation right off the water in Mallory Square, when we walked... more

Just got back from Key West and we had a chance to eat at El Meson de Pepe. The food was great and the atmosphere was fun. We sat outside and listened to the live band playing just after sunset and it was a great all around experience. Highly recommend El Meson de Pepe for both the food and the... more
