The atmosphere was wonderful, but the food was just OK, and service was extremely slow at our high top in the bar area. We ended up going up to the bar to order because we weren’t getting service at our table. For the price, we expected more.

Don’t go!We came for my wife’s 40s birthday and had booked seats in the courtyard.Because of a wedding we were moved to the roof and had to sit on temporary chairs with temporary tables.The 16$ glass of red wine was served in a whitewine glass.The steaks we ordered were not cooked the way we wanted them to be.One piece of meat tasted like soap.The manager was not open to our immediate feedback, some of his staff even acted rude.I felt bad for the server for the incompetent management and the poor performance of the kitchen.

Nice atmosphere, outside patio. Slow service, even though we went mid afternoon on a weekday so they weren't that busy. Servers were ok. My complaint was they didn't come back after the food was delivered to check on things. I needed salt and a refill on my drink and no one came to see how our group was. One of our group had the brisket panini, it was mostly an onion sandwich, very little meat. My wife's brussel sprouts were not cooked nearly enough, very tough. They did take those off the bill after we complained. I had the brisket Mac and cheese. It was good, large portion.

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

The service here is excellent, as is the food. This is a slightly more upscale restaurant compared to many other local spots, and is worth a visit. Try the lobster bisque and fish dip to start.

Beautiful setting in the garden. Service was great from server and server in training. Food was not great. Enjoyed the flatbread but no one in our group liked their entrees especially considering the high prices. No questions asked about why our plates were less than half eaten.

Outstanding dinner! Food was delicious (seared tuna, pork and lobster tail)! Service was great awesome server- Mika was the best!! We were seated upstairs and we loved it!! It was a perfect evening. We will definitely return. Thanks for a wonderful final evening in Key West.

Great dinner experience. Wife and I ate dinner on Friday early evening. Wife had the whole Snapper while I had the chef's special of yellowtail and crab cake. Portions were generous and came in a timely manner. Server was prompt and attentive. Also tried a couple of their beers which are brewed on site. Weren't the best I've had, but were very serviceable. I'm our week spent in KW, this was our best dining experience. Highly recommend

First time visit based on suggestion from our hotel concierge. My wife got the whole fried yellowtail snapper with sweet chili sauce. She really liked it and would probably rate it a solid 4. I had the mahi tacos which gives you two tacos with white rice and black beans for $20. The rice and beans did not have much flavor and were mediocre. The amount of blackened mahi in each taco was small, should have been twice as much. The mango also on the tacos had mild heat and was very good. The tacos tasted good but at $20 they should have more fish in each taco.
