A must visit in key west! Reservations for outside I have heard sell out weeks in advance. We were able to get a reservation inside. I was a little bummed we didn't get to see the view, but the ambiance inside is lovely too. Their menus light up which was so helpful in a dark restaurant. Our server was super helpful and made some great recommendations. We tried a few different small plates to share and enjoyed a few cocktails. Absolutely love the desserts here. The bread pudding and key lime pie were to die for! Price wise this was a bit expensive but we paid comparable for less nice places in key west so I would say this is 100% worth a stop. read more

This was our first time in Key West, and we made a reservation here to celebrate my wife's birthday with a group of six. It was a beautiful evening, and we were seated with a lovely view of the waterfront. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and we were happy we chose this restaurant. Food: I always enjoy when a restaurant offers a creative and inventive cocktail menu. I won't go into detail on each one, but they were all very good, especially the Spiced Old Fashioned. At our server's suggestion, we ordered a couple of plates of the Grilled Ciabatta Bread. The bread was nicely grilled, and the roasted garlic manchego butter made it especially delicious. I normally try not to fill up on bread, but this was absolutely worth it. We ordered an eclectic mix of small and large plates. Some of the standout dishes included the Lobster Mac and Cheese, Swordfish, and Crab Cake. The Brussels sprouts took top honors, perfectly roasted without being greasy, full of flavor, and complemented by a generous amount of bacon. The one disappointment was the Pork Shank Osso Buco. While it was tender, it was only warm and a bit underseasoned. It was good, but not great, especially for someone who enjoys pork shank dishes. We saved room for dessert, and they were all crowd pleasers. My personal favorite was the Cuban Bread Pudding. The Chocolate Pistachio Crème Brûlée was also unique and delicious. Service: We had reservations for 7:30 and were seated promptly. The hostess and our server did a great job of making us feel welcome. The entire two-hour meal was well paced, and we always felt attended to. I was especially impressed with the backlit menu portfolios. They made it easy to read in the evening without guests needing to use their phone flashlights, which was a thoughtful and effective use of technology. Since we were celebrating a birthday, they placed a sign on the table acknowledging the occasion, which was a nice touch. It would have been even better if one of the desserts had included a lit candle. Atmosphere: The setting is beautiful. We were seated in a smaller dining room with several other tables. When we first arrived, there was a larger, very boisterous group nearby, and it made it difficult to hear our server. Fortunately, they left about 30 minutes into our meal, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed and enjoyable. Our waterfront view added to the experience. This was a very special evening. It was also the most expensive meal we had in Key West, so it was reasonable to have high expectations. With a few improvements, it could have been a five-star experience. Definitely a place we would return to. read more

One of the best meals I've ever had - visited Hot Tin Roof for Thanksgiving and enjoyed trying many dishes between my husband and I. This menu was out of this world! Everything - every course, the drinks, the service and ambiance - 10/10. My favorites: corn chowder and mushrooms (starters), steak and shrimp risotto (steak was buttery and so tender!), and the pecan pie crème brûlée made my southern heart happy. Amazing experience. read more

Beautiful atmosphere on the water with lovely sunset views ! Our food was perfectly prepared- golden tile fish, ossobuco for the meat lovers with bread pudding and perfect key lime pie to round out the meal. Our service by Andre could not have been more perfect. He anticipated all our needs in a timely manner and guided us thru the menu with expertise. Much more elegant than the name implies! Very popular for the sunset views so make a reservation as early as possible since available seating during those times fill up quickly read more

Lovely time! Try to go at sunset if you can, because the view is beautiful. Our reservation wasn't until 7:30, so we caught the sunset at Mallory Square and headed over for drinks at the bar until our table was ready. The inside is so cozy, I wouldn't have mind dining there! My dining companions thought this was the best meal of our trip. We got a variety of plates to share - beets, ahi tuna tacos, crab cakes, salad. But we can't stop thinking about the bread that was served with a garlic manchego butter! The bite of the night! read more

This was such a great experience for brunch. A few gfs and I came here the other day and when we sat down at our table our menus had the last name of the gf who made the reservation on it! It was such a nice touch to the experience as a whole. Our server was Kim G and she was fabulous. She was attentive and made sure we got to try everything we wanted. Also, before we even ordered any of our small plates, a complimentary plate of seafood and a cinnamon roll were brought to the table!!!! Both plates were delicious and set the tone for the rest of the food. Some of the plates I got I liked more than others, but what's good about the endless tapas style is if I didn't like it it was no big deal, I could just order something else in the next round. Among the better plates was the tart trio, the egg hash and the cheese plate. The ones I didn't enjoy were the squash rings and the fish. Such a great time, can't wait to come back again!! The views were also just so fabulous as we sat outside overlooking the water. read more

We had a great experience here! The views and vibes were amazing and the food was delicious. Lots of unique flavor combos. Our server Andre was also so nice and a very good waiter. I will say the food was better than their desserts. The crab cake and crispy octopus were amazing. The tres leches and bread pudding desserts were good but I don't know if they were worth those calories. Would definitely go back here and recommend if you visit Key West. read more

Food was not good Ordered side of Brussel spouts which were too hard even though charred on outside. Could barely stab them with a fork. Normally, I can accept whatever dish I order without a complaint but strongly disliked the small dish with chicken. Only one choice on large plate for someone allergic to seafood and fish. Restaurant was horribly too loud made much worse by a family with young children (after 9:00 pm) who never heard of the concept of inside voice by the adults let alone the children. Could not get out of there soon enough. Waiter's demeanor was indifferent. Still hungry. read more

Celebrating a special occasion. Sunset reservation with the romance package to create a more memorable experience. Rose petals on the table plus a bottle of bubbly. The staff was welcoming and friendly. Smiles and congratulations. The waiter gave us a quick tour of the menu with suggestions according to their serving size. We opted for an appetizer and smaller plates in order to leave from for our own dessert sampling. Bc it was a night of sweet indulgence after all. With more of an appetite I would have liked to try one of their fish entrees being that they offered 3 different fish entrees. Perhaps next time. We ordered the crab cake, wild mushrooms and the tender greens. For dessert- the blood orange panna cotta, the dark chocolate tres leches and the Cuban bread pudding. While they were tasty, the tres leches didn't have any semblance of tres leches in any way. It was more of a dark chocolate cake with hint of espresso flavor. And the bread pudding was served cold (accidentally). They did apologize for that and removed it from thebill on their own accord. The experience was memorable and I would recommend this as a place to celebrate. read more

Although the Swordfish was outstanding, it (sadly) did not offset the experience. I wanted to order the Yellowtail Snapper filleted. (I have no interest in removing the scales, bones, or head.) The server indicated that was not possible. (Not possible, or not convenient?) We just ate Dover Sole in Dunedin, FL which the server filleted it at the table. It was outstanding. My wife and I ended up splitting the Swordfish. (Loss of $55 revenue.) My wife asked for a glass of Pinot Grigio with dinner. It showed at the end of dinner. Server apologized and offered to not charge us. We're not there for freebies to mitigate his lousy service. We travel globally including the keys a few times a year. We've enjoyed Hot Tin Roof several times before, which is why we decided to share the experience with 4 other friends. Sadly, it was an epic embarrassment including being rushed through dinner. If I recall we were in and out in less than 45 minutes. When did speed become the priority to the experience? (I wish I could remember the server's name. Although polite and pleasant, he was a large contributing factor to the disappointing experience.) Be prepared if a big guy is your server. Bon Appetit! read more

Had an amazing experience at hot tin roof! The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. They are very open to making substitutions!

This has to be one of the best meals we've ever had. We enjoyed the prix-fixe Valentine's Day dinner, and every part of the evening felt special and thoughtfully curated. What truly made the experience extraordinary was our server, Adrianne, who flawlessly made sure our wine glasses were always full and that we had the proper flatware for each course -- an attention to detail that elevated the entire meal. Executive Chef Scott Maurer delivered an exceptional culinary experience. Every dish was beautifully presented, making us feel as though we were dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant. The food runners were equally impressive, ensuring each course arrived perfectly timed and seamlessly coordinated. From start to finish, the service, presentation, and atmosphere were outstanding. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Key West. Best place to watch the sunset. read more

My wife wanted to celebrate her birthday in Key West. So I had heard good things about Hot Tin Roof and it checked off the boxes I wanted to nice enough to be peaceful and romantic, on the water, great view of a key west sunset and good food. Our server was Andrea and she did a very good job. I had emailed ahead to let them know it was my wife's birthday and they had a nice little board on the table that said happy birthday Rebecca. All the food items were pretty good. I question if the beef cheek was actually wagyu, but it was ok, the Mac and cheeses was really good, the brussel sprouts, crabcake, ahi tuna tacos were very good. The buratta was ok, and the key lime pie was nice. I would have liked a little more whipped cream on that pie, and I was hoping they'd write something or bring a candle, but overall it was a nice meal. read more

Loved the food, the service and the view! We loved it so much that we went to the Hot Tin Roof twice this trip. Both times we got an assortment of small plates that were all excellent. Our servers, Joanne and Kim, made our dining experiences special. There are amazing sunset views that we could even see with the indoor dining option. We will definitely be back! read more

A Memorable Feast at Hot Tin Roof - Andrei Made It Unforgettable! My wife and I just experienced an evening at Hot Tin Roof and left absolutely delighted. We were lucky enough to have Andrei as our server--his warmth, attention, and recommendations elevated our dining experience. I usually stick to seafood, but was tempted by the Osso Bucco--and I'm so glad I broke my own rule. The meat fell off the bone and paired perfectly with creamy polenta. It was an absolute home run! My wife played it safe with the shrimp, and even as someone who isn't usually a shrimp fan, I have to say: this shrimp on fire! To top off the evening, we had the Cuban Bread Pudding. This dessert sealed what can only be described as a flawless dining experience. And throughout it all, Andrei was there with a perfect balance between professionalism and warm friendliness. If you're searching for a Key West, Hot Tin Roof + Andrei = five stars all day. We'll absolutely be back. read more

The service was amazing, the scenery was amazing, it was just some food options were ok, like the steak I had...it was ok.

This is a very nice restaurant. You can eat out on the deck or inside. Service was exceptional. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend! read more

I'm so glad I found this place! Tucked away in the back of the dock, you definitely need to know that this place exists to find it. It's above bar/restaurant that's on the dock. People recommended this place for brunch but we came here for dinner instead. The dinner was just as great and if you come at the right time you'll be able to see the sun set. Highly recommend a reservation if you're trying to catch the sunset. We didn't have one but we got here right as they open for dinner so got seated outside over looking the waters. The servers here are very nice. They are very attentive and provide excellent recommendations. I got the swordfish special of the day. It was my first time trying swordfish, and it was phenomenal. The firmness of the swordfish meat was well seasoned. The braised ribs were super yummy and tender. Highly recommend this place! read more

One of the true, few upscale/casual places in KW. Made reservations early to make sure we got an outdoor table with the best sunset view. While the sunset was nice, it was mostly obscured by Sunset Key, so it was a little underwhelming. However, the dinner was terrific. I'm a fan of whole cooked fish, yes, eyeballs and everything, so I had to go with the whole, crispy yellowtail snapper. Cooked to perfection. Drizzled with a spicy green cilantro sauce. Added the Brussels sprouts, which were very good, and the blackened shrimp Mac n cheese. Most places don't really blacken seafood to the extent that we do in New Orleans, so of course I felt it could have been spicier, but it was still super good. Along with a shared bottle of crisp Rose', this dinner was truly memorable. Highly recommend. read more

The dinner experience my wife and I had at Hot Tin Roof was amazing from the beginning to the end. The hostess Wendy gave us the best table at the restaurant; outside, perfect water view. Our waiter Chad was very knowledgeable of the menu and provided excellent service. My wife and I shared appetizers, the lobster bisque which was phenomenal. It was different from any other lobster bisque I ever had and the skirt pork was outstanding. My wife's salmon was cooked perfectly. The red sauce was phenomenal and the crispy skin on the salmon was perfect. My swordfish was one of the best I ever had, the swordfish did not have any dark spots on it and cooked to perfection and the poblano tequila sauce was phenomenal and Amazing. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Hot Tin Roof. Service, food, drinks, the view... all excellent!! We went on a Friday, for early dinner. They had our table ready for us with a perfect view of the sunset. It was our anniversary and they had a sign for us to celebrate, and noted they did the same for other birthday tables. Great personal attention to the notes on the reservations. Out server was equally attentive. He made great recommendations, answered all questions we had about the menu and drinks, checked up on us to make sure we weren't missing anything and enjoying our time there... Just incredible service. And the food, wow!! I must call out one dish in particular. The Duck Confit was recommended by our server and so glad we listened. This was prepared perfectly. Crispy skin, tender juicy meat that fell off the bone and the cherry sauce complemented the tasted of the duck so well. And presentation was just beautiful. In addition to all the above, the sunset view is just breathtaking and so peaceful, it wrapped with a bow our experience there. read more

What a spot. We had plans to be in Key West for just a a night, so I wanted to get a pretty good sunset dinner spot. I talked to a few friends and such to see what is thought to be a good spot. Tin roof people said was a great spot. We got lucky due to a cancellation and got a spot 530pm. Amazing spot. I'll put one photo on here, but in person beats any pic. We got a series of small plates. The ciabatta, the lobster bisque, and the duck. The bisque was a little cold, the ciabatta was fine, and the duck was just fine. But my goodness, what a view. The view along with a good dinner was a highlight of key west. It's a spot that was the capstone of a nice weekend. read more

The view was nice, but everything else missed the mark. The menu was lack luster and felt dated. The food we ordered was mediocre, and mocktails were poorly mixed. Server seemed distracted and uninterested. Definitely not worth the price. read more

Really horrible experience here. My girlfriend found a piece of metal in her lobster bisque, like from a steel wool scrubbing pad, and actually bit into it. We told the waitress and handed her the piece of metal and she just kind of took it and disappeared for like 5 minutes. When she finally came back, she barely apologized and just asked if we wanted another soup like it was no big deal. She didn't even acknowledge what happened in any way. No real apology, no manager came over, nothing. We were honestly shocked at how casually they treated it. They comped the soup, but that was it. No one ever checked in or even acknowledged how serious that could've been. I was really shocked that something like that could happen at all and even more shocked at how casually it was handled. On top of that, the food was just meh. Pretty average for the price point. Definitely not the experience we expected, and we won't be going back. read more

Oh em gee. We came here sans reservations and ended up being sat out front with a perfect view of the sunset. Dede was our waitress and she was the best. She found out it was our honeymoon and she brought us a cute little sign and it was amazing now let's talk the food. Every single bite was amazing. We started with the ciabatta and that was wow. From there we got the grouper and mushrooms and when I say I will crave both of these dishes I mean it. The mushroom were the best. Next I got the short ribs while my husband got the ribeye and both were delectable. To finish you must get the bread pudding it was the best damn thing ever. I cannot sing high enough praises for this place. You must go! read more

I had the most enjoyable, perfect, and delicious dinner last night. I couldn't have been more satisfied. From the outdoor high top table, sunset views, live band playing on the pier, to the glass of Chablis, Baby Beets, Plantain Crusted Swordfish, and Cuban Bread Pudding. Every little thing was perfect. The manager accommodated my solo walk in on Mother's Day with a smile. We shared some great conversation and he made sure I was in and out with time to catch the Ghost tour. I will be recommending this place to everyone and look forward to enjoying it again the next time I am in Key West. read more

Highly recommended, don't miss this place!!! Arriving back in Key West after a long day, hiking and snorkeling at Dry Tortugas, we were chasing the sunset and something to eat. Tired and frustrated at the loud party people who were taking over the stretch along the water, we turned around and happened to stumble upon this restaurant. We had no idea of its name or quality. Although it looked fancy and we were just "out of the boat", we were warmly welcomed by the hostess who immedialty offered us seating choices. We decided to eat on the small intimate patio that offers a view of the sunset. Curtis, our server, was fantastic. Attentive, courteous, helpful, made great recommendations, and most of all simpatico and had a good sense of humor. We order small plates to share - heirloom tomatoes and Burrata salad, crab cakes, grilled grouper, and chocolate tres leches. Everything was fresh, with well-balanced flavors and spices. The grouper was tinny on the dry side and the chocolate tres leches were superb (and we have high standards on tres leches as my Consuegra makes the best, seriously the best) They do not offer an Arnold Palmer ( my husband's choice), however, Curtis recommended their raspberries-influenced cold tea, freshly brewed at the table and poured over ice. It was rich and tasty. My Old Fashion (and I am an Old Fashionista) had a hint of spice and was served over one solid rock (the first properly served OF in Florida). Overall a wonderful, unexpected, experience that helped us enjoy our last evening in Key West. Highly recommended, don't miss this place!!! read more

We were so looking forward to our anniversary dinner here. The service was great, the ambiance was nice but the food? Ugh. I got the lobster bisque and burrata salad. The bisque was brown (I have never had bisque that was brown) and not very tasty. The tomatoes on the salad were mushy and tasteless. The dressing was terrible. And for all you no sayers out there going, really tomatoes this time of year? Yes you can find some quite delicious ones albeit not heirloom. If you don't have ingredients for deliciousness don't offer it on your menu. I will not be back. read more
