Over all it was a good experience but they did not recognize our open table reservations and told us that they did not use open table. After I showed them my reservation on my phone they finally got us a table that was tight for six and had us carry our own chairs for the other two off the street. It was very tight but it was a cool vibe atmosphere.

We were there for Happy hour and had a cutie table outside undercover. We ordered raw oysters which were the smallest I have ever seen!! So we switched to the baked varieties and were the same. All the apps were half price but you would need to order double what you normally would to satisfy. The Happy Hour pricing was great for apps and drinks but really disappointed in the oysters.

We enjoyed our second visit to your restaurant. Christina N. our server was amazing. Professional, friendly and very attentive. Value for our dinner was great. Dinner for two fed three with leftovers. We enjoyed the 12 oz steak, smothered with pork chops. Sides mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, which was huge and delicious, perfectly cooked. We look forward to our next meal in 2026.

We had read the reviews and were very excited to try this place during our first time in Key West. The menu posted on Open Table showed only breakfast foods - eggs, pancakes, etc. This was not the menu available when we arrived for our reservation at 12:30pm. Our kids were looking forward to breakfast and ended up not eating much due to limited kid friendly foods on the menu provided. The hostess was very rude. However, our waitress was very kind.

Have been here two times before. Food is still excellent. We had the raw oysters to start. They were delicious. Had peel and eat shrimp and salads for dinner. The shrimp was super fresh. The salads were large and very fresh as well. They make all of their dressing in house and it was yummy. Drinks were good too. We had mojito and margarita.
