“A great selection of rums from many distilleries around the world. As a rum snob, I prefer my rum to taste like rum, not whiskey. If you are the same, then be sure to express that. Otherwise, this is a great little place for getting your rum fix.“
“Most friendly bar in Key West. Right away we became family with the bartender and fellow patrons that were drinking. Very cool place and every cooler people there. We were recommended by a local in Tavernier and so glad we went! Also very good food next door!“
“We absolutely loved this place ! We had espresso martinis that were one of the best I’ve had. My husband also got their Maria-Rita , which was truly the best we had in the keys- great taste and very clearly made in-house (not your basic mixers). Would recommend !“
“My husband and I went here after our wedding, and it definitely was the fancy celebratory restaurant we were looking for. We got a free dessert and the service was amazing. Our waiter was really responsive and friendly and knew the menu really well. The interior is incredible and has all the nautical vibes you might expect from a restaurant right by the sea. Everything felt so fancy. Okay the food. The food may be pricy, but it’s SOOOO worth it!! I had the Shrimp Orecchiette and it changed my life. The shrimp is clearly VERY fresh and different from anything you might get at a store or at a standard seafood restaurant. The pesto was also the best pesto I’ve ever had. My husband really enjoyed his food too. Overall, I’d recommend this restaurant to everyone, as long as you’re willing to spend $100+ for two people.“
“Always fantastic. I usually get the steak which is excellent but last night I ordered the eggplant dish. It was really tasty. Portions are large! Service is always friendly and attentive. Definitely a favorite spot of ours and we live in town. Would highly recommend.“
“This is one of my favorite restaurants in Key West. The charcuterie was excellent, the Negroni was spot-on, and the seafood soup and pasta were delicious as always. The service was great, and the food came out in record time. I have only good things to say about this place. I will visit again the next time I'm in Key West.“
“Fat Tuesdays is a must when walking down Duval St. All the Bartenders are fun & friendly. Met 2 bartenders both named Savannah that were great. DJ music is live & exciting. Dog Friendly and they serve pup cups! So while we did Jello Shots our dog was able to have a pup cup.“
“Ambiance is always great in downtown Key West. Our waiter was terribly slow. 15 minutes to take our drink order, 20 minutes to deliver drinks, over a half an hour to receive food, once ordered. Food was over-sauced. 3 of us ended up taking food home because the sauce was over whelming. I could not find the ravioli, shrimp or crab in the sauce. The 1 person who had the chicken piccata was happy. We have eaten at La Trat many times, and were happy. This time we were disappointed.“
“I like this place. It's a cool little spot tucked away so you kind of have to know about it to find it. Our bartender, Bill, was attentive and on point. It's close to home, easy to bike or walk to if you live anywhere in new town. I give this place 2 thumbs up and 5 stars 😊“
“General Horseplay is a phenomenal bar. Bartender Eric waited on my wife and me. He was wonderful interpersonally, and he was a magician as a mixologist. I like to think of myself as educated when it comes to craft cocktails, yet he introduced me to the vieux carre, and it was delightful. I cannot recommend Eric and General Horseplay highly enough.“
“We really struggled finding this from Google maps but with assistance we did and it was worth the effort. A very small bar with map charts all over the walls and ceiling. They usually have free hot dogs, peanuts and popcorn but apparently the hot dog crock pot wasn't working and although there was some popcorn the machine is on its last leg and we had more kernels than popped corn. None of this impacted the experience. It's an incredible spot that should be visited!!“
“One of our favorite spots in Key West and always our first stop. Morne is a gem and one of the biggest reasons why we frequent this bar. He deserves many accolades. He is friendly, funny, warm and always mixes up a killer cocktail! We will continue to be regular patrons for years to come:)“
“After checking in to the Reach Curio Collection we decided to stay there for dinner. The Four Marlins was a superb experience. I recommend booking in advance so you can get a table outside overlooking the beach. It was a bit pricey however the food was perfectly executed and service by Fabiola was awesome. We shared the conch and crab fritters for appetizer and they were delicious. For dinner we had the NY strip which was extremely flavorful, the red snapper entree special that was delicious and the grouper entree that was amazing. We followed it all by the key lime pie and a fantastic croissant bread pudding with raisins, caramel and vanilla gelato. All was awesome and would def go back“
“Christine H deserves more than 5 stars for her excellent friendly attentive service. She's very knowledgeable about the food, cocktails and the local area. A great personality.The terrace has a great location overlooking the harbour, and the food and drinks there are great.“
“Visited with our toddler and our server, Mica, was do accommodating. Good food, decent beer, cool patio. Only weird part was we seemingly entered from the back right onto the patio and it took us (and we watched several others wait and look) a bit to find the host for seating.They also had a wedding going on in their upper patio and it looked really nice!Kid-friendliness: Our server was very helpful and offered to find some off-menu choices that were more kid-friendly“
“Last night, we had the opportunity to hear Bria Ansara sing! We've been going there for years and have missed her beautiful voice!! She always drew a crowd and last night was no different. I hope n pray Berlins comes to there senses and brings her back on a regular basis!! And the food n drinks were delicious as always...“
“Fresh ingredients and located by the pool at the 24 hotel. Food was great for the price. We had the French toast with strawberries and roasted banana syrup and the Cuban eggs Benedict. Local wildlife to watch while you swing from the wooden swing.“
“We came with a group of 12 the first night, then a group of 6 two nights later…waitress Crystal was super! The coconut shrimp, and curly fries were amazing. Another member of the party loved the mahi. Burgers were great as well. Definitely a hidden gem! Don’t miss it! Fresh and delicious!“
“I recently stopped by the bar here for a drink and encountered a hiccup with their credit card system. However, bartender Sean stepped up and made the experience unforgettable.Despite the glitch, Sean remained cool and collected, handling the situation with ease. And he kept the atmosphere light with his friendly banter.What really stood out was Sean's genuine care for his customers. He went out of his way to ensure everyone was taken care of, checking in regularly and offering a helping hand where needed.Beyond his excellent customer service, Sean's drinks were spot on. He mixed up some fantastic cocktail and overall, despite the technical snag, Sean's stellar service turned what could have been a frustrating experience into a memorable one. Kudos to Sean for going above and beyond“

“I cannot find a more beautiful on the beach location to enjoy a wonderfully prepared dinner. The service was friendly, attentive and professional. The Mahi Mahi was flaky and juicy. It felt like a dinner on a Caribbean island. It was pricey but worth visiting. Enjoy!!“
“The food is awesome. We had octopus and calamari as a starter which was already filling. As a main course, filet mignon and fettucine. Both super tasty and great quality. Last but not least, the key lime tart. But there was absolutely nothing to complain about. We decided to make a reservation at very short notice and only got a seat at the counter, but it was super comfortable. Sylvia our bar tender was super super friendly and served excellently. A more than successful evening with an excellent meal. Danger! Very modern and not Key West style. If you're looking for something like that, you shouldn't go here, but if you're looking for great quality, this is the place for you.“
