“A & B Lobster House 700 Front St., Key West, FL 33040 4 Stars Ah, the Conch Republic. How can you not love the Key West even if it is a tourist trap. It is our tourist trap. Any place Papa Hemingway lived has to be cool. Opened 70 years ago by good friends Alonzo Cothron & Berlin Fleton, A & B Lobster House has become a Key West Waterfront icon in what is now A & B Marina. They have expanded over the decades to include a slew of eateries. Upon entering the abode, I almost thought I had stepped into an atelier; the place was so pristine and classic-looking. Michelle was the server today, and she was more or less what one expects from a place that bills itself as "fine dining." She was knowledgeable, polite, and professional. I asked for one Old Fashioned from Berlin's Bar, some Beef Carpaccio, and a New York Strip (Blackened and medium-rare) with a Caribbean Lobster Tail. Relaxing in the atmosphere of Key West, I was almost lost in the comforting arms of Hypnos when Michelle brought forth our fare. First, the Old Fashioned was made by someone who obviously knew what they were doing as it was delicious. I then turned my attention to the order of Beef Carpaccio. I learned from Michelle that the "fresh baked" part of this was neither fresh nor baked on-site. As I've stated a million times, if a dish involves any bread or pastry product, it has to start with the bread or pastry. If that is off, it throws the whole dish off, which was the case here. A for effort - D for quality. Moving on to the Blackened New York Strip and Caribbean Lobster Tail. Looking at the pictures, you can clearly see that beautiful, blackened crust on the charred bovine. It was cooked to a succulent medium-rare and was extremely tasty on the palate. The accompanying Lobster Tail was delightfully seasoned, grilled to perfection and caused my taste buds to break into a Bruckins as they were freed of crappy food for the nonce. The Carpaccio and bread are a 1, while I found the NY Strip and Lobster Tail to be a 4.5. Hence, the overall rating of a 4 -- giving greater weight to the entree. The Big Boy says, "I'm not sure if there is better dining in tourist trap haven, but it's miles above anything up in Cocoa Beach serving the same feed."“

“One of the best hotel and cafe restaurants in key west“

“Never fails. Top notch restaurant.“

“AMAZING best meal and dining experience I've had in Key West“

“Very good food and service again this year. Evening almost spoiled by the snotty young hostess but we stayed and were glad we did.“

“Found them in Stillwater, what surprise. Wonderful food, going back.“

“We had a wonderful spirit filled waiter - Everth! The food was fresh, cooked to perfection. My husband had seafood diavolo, which could have contained a little more seafood - only 2 clams. I had the lobster tail, cooked perfectly and a side of crispy asparagus. Since it was our 50th wedding anniversary, Everth brought us a piece of key lime pie with 2 candles on. We also shared a bottle of Da Vinci chianti! It was a beautiful evening with a view of the water.“

“Love this hidden gem. We had multiple apps(rangoon, fig app, and the risotto meatball one), all were super delicious! For our mains, we had the fish Philly and the grilled fish sandwich. It was grey tile fish, super fresh and tasty. My dad had the fish and chips. He wasn't as happy he said it was little pieces of fish inside a ton of breading. So if you go, get the grilled stuff. I really loved mine. The servers and bartenders were very nice and interactive. Will 100% be back!“

“Very Friendly! Great roll!“

“The food and service were amazing. one of the best meals I have ever had.“

“Best coconut margaritas 🍹“

“We had the best food and service while visiting Key West in June. Can wait to go back on our visit next weekend!“

“I was excited to try the food here after reading all the reviews. The service is great with very friendly staff. The food, however not bad, lacked flavor. I wasn't expecting this from a Caribbean food truck and felt disappointed. The price was also higher than what is shown in the pictures here.
The juice, though, was amazing.“

“The bowls, tacos and poor boy’s are all amazing! Love this food truck!“

“Great service! Great food!“

“Look, anyone who has been to key west knows that the food isn’t the best. Bagatelle is infinitely better than its peers in Key West. It is what makes it is.“

“Stayed here for a 3 night weekend and I was not disappointed. Great location, price and ambiance. The breakfast buffet was always warm and tasty with sufficient options for the discerning pallette. The Pulled Pork, rice and beans with fried plantains was beautifully prepared and presented.“

“Delco in the house!! Milo was awesome and Danny’s dragon fire! We always love hanging out there! ❤️“

“Lobster rolls were Amazing!!! Best we have ever had because of the buttery rolls and tons of lobster.“

“Came into Key Weat for our first time and came across this gem of a restaurant. Our waitress Sandy had just started a week ago and amazed our entire group with her energy and beautiful personality. Food was delicious and I really mean Delicious. Hope to return in the future and hope to see Sandy.“

“Love the happy hours. Delicious and generous appetizers and excellent drinks.“

“Oh my gosh! Best place ever! Amazing oysters and amazing buffalo shrimp. But most of all the service! Wells was our waitress and she was AMAZING!!! Thank you for making our experience wonderful!!!“

“We have been a few times since they have opened and it has always been an amazing dining experience. From the drinks to the desserts to the service, I would give this place a 10/10! I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a pleasant fine dining option in Key West.“

“The food, the beer, and my server were amazing. I would have liked to sit at the bar, but I was never acknowledged by the bartender after moving seats twice. The bar was not exceptionally busy. I had gotten off a cruise ship in Key West specifically to visit this place. My server was very sweet and attentive. I will visit again next time I am in Key West. Probably won't try to sit at the bar next time though.“

“Romantic dining with the most creative entrees . Such a memorable experience“

“Amazing food and outstanding atmosphere. Henry and family are truly humble and make you feel like family. If you want your tastebuds exploding with flavor this is a must stop in all of Key West!“

“Amazing food and bar, right on the water with a great view… highly recommend, can't wait to go back!! ❤️“

“We stopped for lunch which was amazing! The space was beautiful, especially the back courtyard. If we had more time, I would have stopped again.“

“This place was phenomenal all around. The owner greeted us, management all greeted us, and staff was attentive all around. Lobster pizza and the street corn pizza were phenomenal. I loved the Pina colada key lime pie. It is by far the best key lime I have tried. The view, the chickens, all of it!!“

“we stopped in for a quick paddle and echotour with Kristen.. what a wonderful and informative time.. it was relaxing and just whatnwe needed from a great group of people“

“All I can say is check this place out! The food is amazing!“

“We had a 9:45 reservation on New Year’s Eve and everything was good. We were seated at a table before 10, we requested the filet mignon and were informed they were sold out of filet mignon… a steakhouse out of filet mignon???? My brothers and parents ordered the 14 OZ ribeye steak instead, and requested no potatoes and opted for carrots. We waited 30 minutes and got a steak that was not 14 OZ, more like 9/10, and fot potatoes. We were then informed they were out of carrots, and then requested asparagus. See we have been coming here annually for 5 years this is the first time I have been disappointed. In addition, the website included skirt steak, and I was informed after asking about the skirt steak, it wasn’t on their menu for the night. The caesar salad was fantastic, and served fairly quickly. I had the seafood risotto and that was amazing, so much seafood and a great taste. Furthermore, the drinks were great and also served very quickly. Also, our waitress was so sweet and very enthusiastic.“

“Lovely place for breakfast! Me and my family ate eggs, pancakes, bacon and bread for a really reasonable price. The coffee was really good as well! The two people who ran it were really friendly and were happy to talk to us about Key West after we ate. It is also in a beautiful courtyard with seats both outside and inside.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“The Bartender’s and Staff are amazing! Food is consistently good, drinks as well as food is probably the most reasonably priced on the Island! Also, Sun Loungers are only $15 bucks for the entire day. The Beach is small but it’s always clean and a good vibe. Great mix of Locals and Tourists! Highly recommend for a relaxing day out 🙌“

“Fogartys was one of our favorite places to eat. Maxwell was our server and he was great! he has a wonderful personality and made sure we were well taken care of. Slushy drinks were made extremely well, and food was delicious. atmosphere was fun and laid back. 5/5 would highly recommend and definitely on our list of places to visit again in our next visit.“

“Absolutely wonderful food! Pizza, calzone, and carbonara were delicious! Calamari and caprese appetizers were fabulous too and atmosphere and service was top-notch! Highly recommend the location on Duval, down the alley!!“

“My husband and I have been coming here for years. It’s exceptional. We never have any problems with dietary restrictions and the service is 10/10“

“Have been there twice. Last year was amazing. Everything perfect. This year, the special was prawn (not gulf coast shrimp as specified) and the prawn had the seafood stank, unlike typical fresh seafood. Didn’t want to cause a stink. Way overpaid IMO, we’ll be back about a 50:50 shot. Wasn’t busy? Perhaps off season? Idk.“

“Excellent staff and owner who cares about everyone.“

“I highly recommend the Reverend Joe’s Burger and the Cuban! They serve an Island Life Lager that is brewed by Waterfront Brewery right in Key West! It was awesome as well!“

“Oh my goodness, what a wonderful experience we had when dining with you on November 30th! The food was incredible and service was outstanding! If you like martinis, they have many to choose from. We celebrated my husband’s birthday with a beautiful sunset view. (Thank you to the staff for making it extra special!)Seriously, a perfect dining experience! When in Key West, definitely dine here!“
