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

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

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

Service and food was good but when the check came there was a "3% credit card surcharge". This is getting out of hand. We won't be eating at establishments that have these charges anymore. read more

This is in my top 3 restaurants in KW. The food has always been top quality. The staff from the greater to the server to the bartender are very professional and helpful. The ambience is charming along with the location right on Duval. A must do drop in. Enjoy 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

The food was GREAT ( happy hour brunch at the bar) but the service was disappointing due to a rude bar staff person. Charged us twice the amount for my drink as she incorrectly brought me a drink that was not on their happy hour menu even though I ordered a specific drink from that menu. Staff person was very rude and said it was my fault that I should have caught the mistake myself before I drank it. Tried to get her to honor the happy hour price but nope. Asked for a manager and supposedly none were available. Left my phone and asked for a manager. No one ever called. Left messages on a special manager voice mail . No response. The rudeness bothered me more than the overcharge and the lack of management response just made it worse. Won't be back. 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

The fried chicken sandwich was pretty good. 3 out of 4 ordered it. if you want it. Service a little slow. If you drink hot coffee ask for fresh brewed. The one my father-in-law was cold. read more

The food is excellent. We especially are enamored with their corned beef hash. Love the charming ambience and the DJ on Sunday. The only short coming we had experienced this week was we were seated in such close proximity to the entrance. The hostess only offered better options if patrons without reservations pressed her. Our server Anna was friendly and attentive which helped improve our dining experience. 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

This is by far my favorite breakfast spot in Key West. Everything is solid, from the service to the outside scenery and their great tasting food. They have a Cozy upstairs and downstairs seating with outside patios. This is my go to for future stays. With two tasty happy hours once in the morning and afternoon, what's not to love? I Highly recommend this cute spot on Duval Street. 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. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and my husband ordered breakfast tacos. It's a beautiful space with indoor and outdoor seating options. Our server was very friendly and attentive and the food came out fairly quickly. Highly recommend if you're looking for a brunch spot in Key West! read more

Ambiance was great. Small place with small tables, but charming and located right in the downtown area. Staff was nice and friendly. Food tasted great and lots of unique choices. A bit pricey. For 4 of us with entrees and 4 adult beverages it was just over $500 read more

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

While we did not have a chance to fit this into one of our dinner spots during our trip, we did get to enjoy their happy hour, which was one of the best we've experienced, anywhere. We ordered one of everything on the menu. The lobster Mac was absolutely delightful. Drinks fantastic. The environment is beautiful. A spot we will try to get back to in future. read more

We had been in Key West all week and saved this for our last dinner out. Saved the best for last! It was a Saturday night and we had been on a dive all day and didn't think to make reservations; the staff was so nice and got us in right away. Amazing seats outside on the balcony. My husband had red wine and the special of fresh fish. I had a big salad with cashews, apples, yellow raisins and I added blackened chicken. Added a side of truffle fries. Everything was fresh and so delicious! Our waitress was so professional and kind. Loved it so much! read more

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

This must have been an unlucky night for us. We sampled 7 different dishes between the 5 of us and had 1 happy camper. If it weren't for the wine (Loveblock), we would have walked out. Lobster Mac n Cheese - missing lobster. Was told it was "shaved" so that's why we can't see it. That seemed strange. We bought two Mac n cheese dishes. They mistakenly brought the one with Lobster that was someone's entree was brought to the table as a side. And it came out before everything else was served. So it wound up being totally cold. Very strange. The setting was gorgeous. We were on the 2nd floor and could see the cruise ships docked. I would give it a 2nd chance, but I have no clue when we will make the trek all the way back to Key West. read more

We didn't have a reservation, but there were many empty tables the entire time we were there. Our waitress, DeeElee, was very nice. She was hustling around the place. We were looking for somewhere airconditioned that wasn't blaring loud (bad) music. Our meal was good but a little expensive. We paid $65 for a tuna salad with four tiny pieces of tuna and a bagatella (with 5 medium shrimp). The bagatella had good flavor. We didn't order drinks (not even iced tea) because it was hot out. They had a happy hour while we were there and it brought in a very loud group of people who were taken upstairs because there wasn't room at the bar for them. read more

this place is amazing!! my friends & i went here on a girls trip & everything we had was delicious. we had requested to be seated on the second floor balcony (we love to people watch) & the ambiance out there was a perfect backdrop to our meal. all of our food was delicious our highlights were the ahi tuna so refreshing & full of flavor & i'm not a big cheesecake person but the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake was probably one of the greatest desserts i've ever had. overall the staff, food, & vibes were amazing! can't wait to go back! read more

If youre going to charge the prices of a nicer restaurant, you need to back it up with service. Ive never been seated and then just ignored long enough that it was awkward. Left after 10 minutes, someone dropped the ball. read more

Nice brunch menu and lovely to sit on the porch and people watch. The glazed bacon was tasty but I remember when it was broiled and had a nice crunch to it. The way it's served now it might as well have been brushed with a sweet and hot sauce. Service was good. read more

Carlos was an amazing server; one of the best we've had in a long time. We each had a breakfast cocktail and enjoyed sitting in the AC upstairs. I do recommend making a reservation.

Great location on Duvall. House has a great story and history. But the food is the standout. We had breakfast/brunch there on two of our days. It was so good the first time, we just had to go back. First visit we had Corned Beef and Hash (the best hash I've ever had) and the Country Benedict with pulled pork on cornbread. Both delicious. On our second visit, we had the Trio Seafood Omlete and Crabcake Benedict. Again, they score another hit. We didn't get a chance to hit there for dinner, but definitely would if we had more time. The dinner menu looked outstanding. read more

While we were seated immediately we sat for a long time before even being acknowledged. No water either. There was a table of 6 behind us that received every bit of the server's attention. I got up and got my own Tabasco sauce and water refill off of the server's station. The server then came by and asked if I would rather have Cholula sauce. I said I would so he took the tabasco sauce and never brought the Cholula. The fruit served wasn't ripe. The shrimp in the omelette tasted a little less than fresh and I did get sick a couple of hours later. We of course waited a long time before we flagged the server down to pay. Do not recommend. read more

Delicious and worth every penny. Try and get a seat upstairs, outside on the lively balcony. Staff and service is fantastic. They were out of the key lime martini so I went with the cucumber and it was very refreshing for a hot night. Lobster mac and cheese is the best I've ever had. SO good. Swordfish, very very good. Grouper was very good but the cream sauce was a little too heavy. I would suggest go lighter on the sauce so it doesn't weigh down the fish. Bananas foster brownie, devine. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Fabulous dinner on the front porch overlooking Duval Street during sunset. Cocktails before dinner were great. We shared a poke appetizer, blackened swordfish, sesame encrusted tuna and each had a different glass of French wine. Service was very good. The swordfish was "lightly blackened" perhaps due to their clientele, but we would have liked more spices, as we do at home. Would recommend for dinner, since we have never had the brunch here. read more

Bagatelle was really special. We sat on the second floor outside, where we could enjoy our lovely dinner, while watching the hens, roosters and iguanas, climbing up the tree to roost or sleep for the night.

This was one of our stops for a food tour and I'm so glad it was included! The house is beautiful and holds intimate table settings and an upstairs bar with more dining options. We had the lobster Mac and cheese with bachumel sauce and it was a 10/10! The lobster was in every bite and the sauce stuck to the spiral noodle like it was holding on for dear life in the best way. You have to try this dish. If it's any indicator of the rest of their menu you will not be disappointed! read more
