We ate here for dinner; the beachside location can’t be beat. There was also some great live music. The food was very good - we had the short rib, lobster ravioli, and the lava cake. The service was extremely slow and it seemed like there weren’t enough waiters working though.

Overall disappointing Service was slow once seated but even getting seated was problematic with the hostess saying she will find us once a table was ready( party of 3) then seated a party that came after us (party of 4). Had to speak up Food mediocre do yourself a favor go elsewhere

this is an outdoor dinning site at the Casa Marina and it was cold and windy that night. We were under heaters. Though it was rather empty service from the kitchen was extremely slow. My granddaughter ordered a peaflower lemonade - the peaflower does not add flavor but adds color that changes due to the lemonade acidity. Well it came out with no color at all. We sent it back and then it had some color as it should have had to begin with. We had the seafood tower which was very expensive but very good. Everything was very expensive and it cost $400 for 5 of us to eat with only one desert and one drink.

For the price would have expected better. You share the area with people off the beach but paying top prices. Special was $65 and average at best. Nice staff, good views and drinks.

What an incredible experience! The service was amazing, the food was outstanding, and you couldn’t ask for a better view in Key West. We are locals and we’re here for a special occasion to try out the new restaurant, and could not have been more impressed! I would highly recommend this to anybody looking for a scenic dinner with amazing food, especially for a special occasion or just a nice night out.

Excellent meal. Reading reviews from right after opening I'd say they have gotten past the initial rocky patch a lot of restaurants have upon getting started. Service and food were excellent - view is top tier for KW. Dishes: arugula salad was one of the best salads I've had in KW, on par with the estiva at Onlywood. Ceviche was very good & fresh, could have used a little more seasoning / heat. Lobster ravioli was excellent. Champagne was cold and the pour was large. Flavor combinations were interesting and well thought-out. I expect this place will move into the regular rotation of restaurants for me. On the spendier end of things in KW.

Our food was delicious! I had the fish of the day, Atlantic salmon and my daughter had the pasta del Mar. Our server was as sweet as could be and it was thoroughly enjoyable!
