Best Restaurants for Groups in Big Pine Key

We went to Cafe Marquesa to celebrate my husband's birthday, and the whole experience was outstanding. Wilson, our server, was attentive and engaging and made us feel like we were old friends. The food and drinks were so delicious, from the She Crab soup to the shrimp potato gnocchi to the trio of desserts. We live in Minnesota, so unsure if we'll be back, but if we find ourselves back in Key West, this will be a must visit for us!

Seated promptly. Waiter came right to the table and took drink order. Both drinks and appetizers delivered immediately. We sat and waited with menus in hand for a lengthy amount of time after finishing appetizers. Unfortunately the waiter was slammed right at 6:30 with to many arrivals. Once dinner order was taken, the entrees were immediately delivered. After finishing the meal, we had to ask for a check. In fairness, I simply believe the waiter was given to many tables all at the same time. I strongly recommend this restaurant. It’s one of Key West’s best in my opinion.

For a beautiful and satisfying fine dining experience, Latitudes on Sunset Key, FL is a must. Be warned, you must make reservations well in advance! But this speaks to the amazing overall experience provided. The dining adventure starts off with a water taxi ride from the marina in Key West at the very end of Front Street to the unique island of Sunset Key. If you book for dinner, try to reserve a time to catch the sunset...absolutely mesmerizing. The atmosphere of Latitudes with its beautiful nod to an era of exquisite woodwork, built ins and unique details at every turn gives one a feeling of stepping into a time of elegant island dining. Whether you dine on the expansive outdoor patio surrounded by tropical flora and evening torches (does not detract from the view) or inside with large windows framing an expansive view of the beach, sea & horizon, the settings are comfortably elegant. The staff provided a supportive and complete experience. Jerry was at the host stand and, even though there was a flurry of activity, he orchestrated our table assignment like the conductor of a symphony. Our table glistened with the silver & glass atop a white linen cloth. Our waitperson, Kim, was fluid in covering her tables & took very good care of us. Additional waitstaff were at our table to refill water & deliver food. We started with a cocktail & a special request mocktail which the bartender made perfectly. We enjoyed the lobster bisque (so rich & satisfying). I had the yellowtail snapper (luscious) & my husband the braised spareribs (so tender and satisfying). We had little room for anything else but finished our meal by sharing a fresh piece of key lime pie with the best merengue crown! We cannot wait to return to Latitudes to dine...lunch & dinner...with friends. For a memorable dining experience - especially to celebrate a special occasion, an intimate meal or group/family gathering, we highly recommend Latitudes on Sunset Key.

Every item each of us ordered was outstanding! I would highly recommend.

Staff was very friendly and helpful even through we were out of town visitors. Loved that we could sit and look out along the beach towards teh water.
