Best Seasonal Restaurants in Long Key

My birthday dinner was a success! Service was exceptional and the food delicious!

The experience was decent overall, but it fell short in several key areas. Our server had an overly intense, high-energy approach, which felt more distracting than welcoming. Additionally, the 2.5% credit card fee left a bad taste—feeling unnecessary and out of place when spending hundreds of dollars on what’s meant to be a fine dining experience. The lobster dish was a disappointment—it was difficult to remove from the shell and smothered in sauce, making it messy and frustrating to eat. The presentation of the fin dish was unimpressive, and the cheese course felt like an afterthought, offering small portions of good cheese bulked up with large chunks of fruit. The saffron sorbet, while attempting to be innovative, missed the mark and didn’t stand out. One of the biggest drawbacks was the concept of a constantly changing menu every 45 days. While it’s an ambitious approach, it made the dishes feel like experimental work in progress rather than perfected, signature offerings. This lack of refinement hurt the overall experience, leaving us feeling like test subjects rather than guests at an established, polished restaurant. On the positive side, the wine list was excellent, though it was disappointing that our waiter couldn’t provide much guidance. The octopus hot dogs were the clear highlight of the meal—unique, flavorful, and well-executed. However, despite moments of promise, the restaurant ultimately doesn’t quite live up to its aspirations, feeling more focused on novelty than delivering a truly exceptional dining experience.

Sophia was a wonderful server! Friendly, smart and very knowledgeable and efficient.

Juan was an entertaining and skilled chef and really connected with our group. Our waiter was fantastic. We come every year when we are in Key West and we had another great experience tonight.

I had a great dinner!!! Got seated by the marina outdoors I totally recommend it! Great views and the weather was perfect today. We got the stone crab which are seasonal and if they are when your here get them the mustard sauce is amazing with them! Also had to get some oysters, we did the ones with caviar and they were divine. For our entrée, we got the fried snapper and it had a side of rice and beans with a mango salsa and a tartar sauce, and it was the perfect size. We finished everything. We were totally full at the end, but not overwhelmed. The food was great. Service was good. Will totally come back when I’m down in the keys.
