My experience here was great! My amazing boyfriend booked us a trip to Key West for the new year. On Sunday I booked a reservation for 8:30 and were greeted and seated as soon as we arrived. Our waiter was Reuben who was excellent. I ordered the Oysters Rockefeller and my boyfriend the salad. I ate all 6 oysters they were very good! For our main dish I had the Surf & Turf cooked medium, my boyfriend had the Filet Mignon cooked medium as well and shared side of mashed potatoes. Our pick for desert was the Chocolaye Lava cake which we devoured in less than a minute. Overall the food and service was great! When back in Key West will be visiting. Thank you 🤗

We went for early brunch on New Year's Day. Our server was bright and happy to see us! The food was delicious. I had the corned beef hash and eggs, and my husband had the crispy French toast. Both dishes were inventive and unlike what we've had in the past. We sat on the upper porch overlooking an unusually quiet Duval St. The service. food and surroundings were all lovely.
