Best Waterfront Restaurants in Key West

Very good food. Service is excellent. They are very busy from Jan- April for dinner so keep that in mind when planning your trip. Brian was an excellent server and explained the menu and how tile fish can’t be found at other restaurants. Very nice to sit outside but can be breezy at night. Sometimes you get lucky and get to see a manatee in the water. Ended up coming back here multiple times because of Brian (and the food).

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.

Although A&B prices rival high-end restaurants in NYC or SF, we always return because their Maine lobster and steak dishes, service and ambience (sitting outside overlooking the harbor with warm sea breezes) rival any places we’ve ever eaten. And if you’ve never seen or tried a 5lb Maine lobster, visit in May or November and you may get lucky.

Our server Jorge was so kind and patient as my daughter who is picky was trying to find what to eat. Dinner was delicious. Burrata appetizer was wonderful and my seared tuna was cooked perfectly. The view was nice to watch the boats go by. Would definitely tell people to go eat here .

An unexpected and fantastic way to end our week in Key West. The food and service was top notch. The key lime pie won our unofficial week long taste testing.
