Great location off the main strip. The atmosphere is laid back and casual yet the menu is kinda upscale. We started with the ahi tuna appetizer. It was very fresh yet was lacking a bit of flavor since we are used to the Hawaiian version. My wife had the grouper and it may have been the best fish we've had since we have been here. I had the NY strip steak. It was average for the price. Slightly overcooked. More medium than medium rare. We finished with the bananas foster brownie which we were both disappointed with. The prices are fare and service was decent, we sat at the bar since we did not have a reservation. Stick with the fish and you will be fine. read more

We arrived with reservations for a part of 6, seated outside near the side of the house. Our waitress lacked personally and didn't seem like she wanted to be at work. The fish special was lacking flavor, fish was very overcooked as well as the vegetable risotto, fish was lukewarm-definitely not fresh out of the sauté pan, maybe partially precooked. We thought the food came out super fast for it to be cooked to order. The lobster was overcooked, pasta lacked Parmesan cheese that would have provided the salt and flavor that the dish needed. Chicken dish was enjoyed, tuna was ok. Only found out that the fish special was $60 when we got the bill, would have sent back for recook as 2 of us ordered and both dishes were overcooked. Worst meal we ate in Key West, it wasn't our first time here. Won't be back unfortunately. read more

We had a wonderful dinner inside the historic building on Duval Street. The setting was easy and elegant. We chose an inside upstairs table in the A/C although the guests on the balcony seemed comfortable enough. We shared a signature cocktail that was Smokey and delicious. Their Bagatelle salad was flavorful and large enough to share. The Swordfish was cooked perfectly and paired well with the Risotto, also the Grouper and Coconut Rice. Fish was cooked just right, moist and firm. A little pricey like everything in Key West. I Recommend Bagatelle. read more

This place was really swanky. We came here during the day as part of a food walking tour in Key West, Florida. The building is quite large with two stories, front rooms, back rooms, outdoor patio, outdoor wrap around balcony, etc. This is a great place to make a reservation for a group party to celebrate those special occasions. It's also a romantic date night and a fun brunch place with your girlfriends. Beautiful decor throughout the building. We were in an upstairs, back room bar. It was a cozy room with several tall pub tables and a private bar with a beautiful carved wooden bar. We were served a sample of lobster mac-n-cheese. It was amazing!!! I don't generally eat shellfish. I usually find the texture rubbery and the favor unpleasant, but that was far from the case here. The chunks of lobster were hearty and flaky with no discernible seafood flavor. The mac-n-cheese was a great way to highlight the lobster without hiding this star. I'm certain the prices here are double or triple what they would be in other areas of the US. Bring your credit card and save up for the experience. You can also aim for their happy hour times to take advantage of some of the price deals. Tables have starched white linens and fine cutlery and server sets. It's a classy place for those memorable meals with special people in your life. read more

Updated for 2025* Happy hour prices are now $8-10 per dish, but still one of the better deals in town. Drinks are priced around $7 and are fantastic! Great service and lovely atmosphere. read more

Our experience was wonderful. We were there for a bachelorette and thy gave us an amazing table on the front patio. It was a little warm outside (mid July) but we could hear live music from down that street and that was very cool. The food was spectacular and everyone loved their cocktails. The chef came out to talk to us after the meal and that made it even more special. They brought out a complimentary slice of key lime pie with a sky high meringue and a giant sparkler on top. The bride said it tasted even better than Kermit's, which is crazy because she is always at Kermit's! Our server was jay and he was just delightful. We certainly will be going back and I am delighted about how much our guests enjoyed the meal and their experience. read more

My mom and I went to dinner here on our first night in Key West last month. One of my best friends recommended this place and I am so glad we made it here! I requested to sit outdoor/on the balcony and we ended up sitting right in front, along the balcony with a view of Duval Street. Martinis were delicious to start, especially the lemon drop. For food, we shared several appetizers, including the burratta and Brie with carmelized pineapple. Both delicious! We both got the crabcakes for our entrées, and they were some of the best we had ever had. Speaking of... The key lime pie was also amazing, with tons of meringue on top. We will definitely head back here our next time in Key West! Just an FYI - there are many loose chickens/birds running around in the keys. Some of them made their way onto the balcony at the restaurant. This did not bother my mom and I, but there was somebody next to us who was very unhappy! read more

The chef is talented and displays the food beautifully but the staff working there is terrible. We made reservations and were immediately greeted with rudeness upon arrival. We asked to be seated upstairs because I could immediately feel the heat downstairs. The lobster Mac and cheese was bland and chalky. My lobster fettuccine had tiny pieces of the lobster shell in it that would choke me up when I swallowed. I can eat fish everyday and remove bone easily inside my mouth and never get choked up until today. Upon choking I realize my ice tea is empty and never got it refilled, we just asked for the check to leave. Tourist trap definitely! We went across the street and got a hot dog. The pumpernickel bread is fire thou! Maybe because they don't make it in house. read more

It's a gorgeous house with a wraparound porch and it feels like you stepped back into Key West history. I went for breakfast and the food is totally underwhelming. Just a few very simple and uninspired dishes, assembled by uninterested staff. The experience is still pleasant as long as you don't expect anything from the food. read more

I must write as this was our 10th NYE at Bagatelle Key west and the worst ever. They were out of a 1st course, the foie gras was delicious while the lobster Mac was full of lobster but no taste. The real disappointment was the filet mignon. It was poorly cooked with NO flavor, the mashed potatoes were funny tasting and the asparagus was almost raw. Considering the meal was $210 per person plus a bottle of wine, we were charged the gratuity ($100) for a group of 6 or larger. We would have given that gratuity but would have preferred to offer it ourselves. This was a $600 meal and I can say never again. If the food was its usual outstanding fare we would have been back.

Went here on a week day with our 15 month old and couldn't be more pleased with this place! We started with a dirty martini and a spritz mocktail and they were both on point. The warm Brie and bread basket were delicious. The blackened swordfish was out of this world; spicy (not hot, flavorful) and bright. The grouper was a different vibe, delicate and sweet from the coconut milk. The server was attentive and engaging even with our little one. We'll be back! read more

Fairly disappointed after having high hopes from the reviews. Swordfish was very dry, and visually looked dry before even tasking it. The broccolini with it also was just steamed and flavorless. The filet was fine but nothing special. The only 5 star item was the muscles appetizer. Fine place for dinner but definitely wouldn't rush back. read more

Wow! That about wraps up the food here at Bagatelle. The complimentary bread came with a red pepper compound butter that was so unique! They had a very good wine selection and one of the best mocktails I've ever tried!(black cherry midnight). We tried the bagatelle salad and the burrata - both were delicious. The grilled peaches on the burrata really stole the show for salad though! As mains we got the swordfish and the hogfish. Both were simply amazing. The swordfish was grilled to perfection and served with the most unique risotto I've had. The hogfish was seasoned amazingly which I find hard to do since it has such a sweet & delicate flavor. The pepper cream sauce served over it was stellar and didn't distract from the fish which was the star of the plate! The only thing I can say is I regret not leaving room for dessert! read more

Had a really great dinner here while in Key West. Service was fantastic. Get a table inside of you can!

Bagatelle saved our Thanksgiving Day! When our reservation at another restaurant was cancelled at the last minute due to the restaurant's poor communication, we were left with nowhere to go for Thanksgiving dinner. Since we had a reservation at Bagatelle for the following night, my husband quickly called the restaurant to see if they were able to move our reservation up by one day. The restaurant was able to accommodate us, but we would have to eat a bit earlier, which we did not mind. After a full day of traveling, we just wanted to enjoy a nice, hot meal, and thanks to Bagatelle, we were able to do just that. We started off dinner with a couple of glasses of wines and an order of pan charred brussels sprouts with bacon. The brussels sprouts were all right. Then, for our mains, I had the swordfish, the "Key West Master Chef Award winning dish," while my husband had the Thanksgiving Day Special, which included turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing. The portions of both entrees were huge, but this was our first meal of the day, so we devoured everything. I really enjoyed my Swordfish, it was surprisingly soft, and the texture of the risotto was cooked to the perfect consistency. After cleaning our plates, our server brought out a slice of key lime pie for us, mistaking it for one of our birthdays. We told her it wasn't either our birthdays. Upon realizing her mistake, she offered the slice of key lime pie on the house, but if we did not want to eat it, it was okay too. My husband and I appreciated the gesture, so we kept the pie. It was delicious and the perfect welcome to Key West. P.S. Bagatelle is dog friendly! read more

We had brunch reservations on a Sunday at noon. We ordered eggs Benedict, tuna poke, a quinoa bowl, sausage egg Sammy special and a veggie omelette. We are foodies and love a really good breakfast spot. In fact, we have an incredible breakfast diner where we live that holds the benchmark for best breakfast experiences. The poke was my favorite (fresh and tasty). The eggs Benedict came on a dry little crossiant, Canadian ham was thin and tasteless. Even the poached eggs were minuscule and dried up. The person who ordered the sausage egg sandwich was happy but everyone else was underwhelmed. read more

We've been coming here for years always thinking this will measure up to the ones in NY and LA, but always leave disappointed from the service and the food options. I gave it 5 stars 5 years ago, but clearly now this place has lost those ratings with the experience and cuisine changes. Overpriced now with poor service, I never got a refill on an ice water lol. And then the waitstaff looms over you with the payment tool with the 20% tip defaulted, and you're like Awkward lol. anyway I would not return here, it was not memorable. read more

Great brunch. Everything fresh and very good. Bloody was great as well. Service was top notch

My overall review is more of a 4.5 but didn't want to be short and give 4 stars. The staff was friendly and accommodating to us having a small dog and set aside a table ahead of time that met our ask to be on the porch. Food was pretty good and some of the best I had in key west. It wasn't the basic tourist dinner and presentation was beautiful. The shrimp, chicken, and whole snapper were delicious. Inside it's gorgeous and a lot of historic architecture elements in the mansion are in tact. read more

Lovely place to dine in Key West. Its on Duval St. but the quieter end. Perched inside a historic mansion its perfect for a special occasion or celebration. There were several wedding parties dining there the evening we went. Try for the upstairs balcony. Service was spot on. Very responsive without hoovering and just friendly and pleasant. Food was excellent. Salads were all crisp and fresh, the lobster mac was a HUGE portion. Could have been a meal in and of itself. The airplane chicken and the whole fried fish were delicious and the fish was beyond fresh. Portions were generous. Great wine and cocktail menu to boot. Highly recommend. read more

After having a great experience here a few years ago, we decided to visit again this week. The service was fine but the food was not up to our expectations. The lobster fettucine was served with the lobster in the shell. I know it's a personal choice, but we don't care for it that way. However, the lobster was extremely dry and overcooked. The grouper had the opposite problem, cooked around the outside but raw in the middle. I get that everyone has an off night occasionally, but my main gripe is what happened afterwards. I kept a copy of the receipt with the amount that was charged including the amount of the tip I added (20%). When I got home and checked the charges on my account, the amount of the total I signed for had been changed with an additional $3 added. This was not the tax or the CC surcharge, just extra money that was added to my bill that I can only assume was someone helping themselves to an additional tip? I tried to rectify this by calling the restaurant. Twice I was sent through to voice mail, twice I left my information and asked for a call back, and twice, I was ignored. I know that $3 is not a lot of money but this kind of thievery is just wrong. We travel to Key West quite often but needless to say, we won't be going back to Bagatelle. read more

We arrived a little early but sat at the bar and had a drink. Eric was the bartender and made the wait pass fairly quickly. Once we were seated service was spot on, very informative about the menu. We chose filet to get away from the abundance of fried foods offered everywhere else. Get the bread service it was delicious. The beef cooked perfectly. Definitely try the place read more

We stopped into Bagatelle during one of our cruise port days. It's within an easy walking distance to the cruise port. The food was delicious.

Had a wonderful dinner me and my wife. The waitress serving on the 2nd floor Balcony was a problem. Our reservation was at 5:45pm and the sun was going down and my wife was sitting facing the Sun. Asked the waitress to have someone lower the sunblind and she said there's Eisenglass there and won't help. So, I got pissed off with her excuse and got one of the other workers to lower the Blind which worker just fine blocking the Sun as it was frying my wife's face off....!!!!! Our dinner cost $200, so when a customer asks to have someone lower the Blind, then just do it....!!!!! I nicely handed the young man lowering the Blind $10 and left the waitress a 15% tip for shoddy service. Coming from NYC, I was tempted to leave her a 1 cent Tip. Made our meal "un-enjoyable"...!!!!! Otherwise, it was Great..!!!!! The GM can track down the waitress, 2nd floor on Apr. 29th, the Blonde. I mentioned my disappointment to her on our way out. Attached is a pict. of the Blind I had the Worker lower. It was "No" problem for him...!!!!! read more
