What a beautiful place to enjoy dinner right on the ocean. The sunset was gorgeous, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the food was SO good! My favorite was the corn pancake under the chicken--absolutely delicious and such a unique combination. And you have to order the bread...WOW! Beautiful setting, amazing food, and a wonderful dining experience. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Hot Tin Roof in Key West, FL is one of the southernmost restaurants with a view of the ocean in the continental U.S. It was mid-October, Saturday eve, and we watched the sunset at Mallory Square (around 7:06) and then were able to get a 2-top outside to watch the boats with a view of the water. Quite scenic and also very bustling (a number of party boats went by including a schooner that sailed past and fired off a friendly "shot"). HTF has a good wine list and cocktail menu. The Tequila Old Fashioned was very good, smoky with the round, big cube. For starters, we tried the Seared Catch triple-tail small plate which was excellent and the Vegetable Risotto salad, which was hearty, yet light. For mains we tried Grilled Key West Pink Shrimp because I wanted to try local catch. It was very good, served on top of creamy grits with Manchego cheese. We also tried the Crispy Mojo Chicken, which was good. Our server was very good. All-in-all, if you're looking for an upscale experience next to the water and sunsets if you it properly, plus great food and drink, Hot Tin Roof is a perfect choice. read more

Ocean Key Resort is one of the best resorts in Key West. Hot Tin Roof is the restaurant inside Ocean Key Resort. We only had breakfast, but the breakfast was at average at best. There was nothing wrong with the breakfast or service. It just tasted...average, and low quantity. The impression I get, and I may be wrong, is that Hot Tin Roof breakfasts are for those customers staying at Ocean Key, and most likely are comped or the breakfast is part of the package. I have no clue about lunch or dinners at Hot Tin Roof. I had bacon, eggs, and chopped up potatoes. The bacon and eggs were just fine, I mean how do you screw that up? The potatoes were plain and not very much. Noting the breakfasts of the wife and kid, I felt the same....average at best. It left me for looking for an early lunch on Duval street. I believe they add an 18% "service charge" on the check regardless of size of party. read more

Visited again as part of our tenth anniversary and we're very happy with everything. First starters, the restaurant had our table waiting with a sign wishing us a happy anniversary. Our server, Joann, did everything right. The food was amazing and so was the ambiance. Our original visit in 2019 was a five star review so this is just more of the same. My wife and I had the Burrata to start and then shared the Ossobuco. We also had the caramel apple cheesecake as dessert. read more

We went here for a birthday and were seated separately, so just beware if you're going with a big group (we had 15). The food and service more than made up for that minor inconvenience. We tried many of the small plates and entrees. I had been there for brunch before and food was outstanding both times. Highly recommend for date nights. Very cozy and romantic atmosphere! Sorry for the pictures, the romantic lighting made it tricky! read more

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

The atmosphere was great! But some of the patrons were very loud and ruins a romantic evening experience. They don't offer anything for birthdays (no free dessert or entree like most restaurants do) The waitress was very slow, and really didn't have much personality. She didn't look happy to be there. She knew it was my spouses birthday and we requested a dessert at least with a candle, but she refused. The salmon was good , but the pork was extremely spicy and gave us acid reflux, although the waitress said it's not spicy. I would never recommend this restaurant for a special occasion. On food , waitress, and birthday experience they fell short. Went home disappointed. read more

Food and drinks were delicious, but took quite awhile to come out. That said, once we got our food everything was phenomenal! I loved the brussels and my shrimp mac and cheese. I also tried the key lime pie and the chocolate pistachio creme brulee. The pie was great but I was underwhelmed by the creme brulee, and I am a chocolate girl! I didn't order a drink myself but I tried my friend's cocktail that had kiwi puree in it, and it was SO GOOD. Definitely would've ordered one myself had I wanted to drink at dinner. We had a group of 9 and every single person was extremely happy with their meal. read more

We were very fortunate to celebrate my 60th birthday here.We splurged on a celebration package with Rose petals and champagne. The atmosphere and the service were 10 out of 10. We reserved a table to watch the sunset and we were so happy to see dolphins and boats go by. The food was exceptional. The staff made you feel special. The service from Andre was excellent. this was one of my favorite memories in Key West. 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

My wife and I were staying at the resort that hot tin roof is in "Ocean Key" and boy were we lucky. We ate breakfast here every morning and every item we tried was super tasty our favorites were the croissant, French toast, Greek omelette, and the breakfast sandwich. The restaurant over looks the ocean with seating inside and outside. The service is quick and efficient. We can't wait to stay at the resort again just for the breakfast! 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.

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

it was so yummy. The ambience was great, the service was great and every single food item that we got was delicious.

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

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

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

Waiter was amazing. We went for our anniversary and the ambiance was fun. Rather than have a main we ate tons of apps. The brussel sprouts were off the chain. We also had chicken which was good.

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

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

This was , by far, the worst restaurant experience we've had in a long time. The menu was very limited and the food choices were strange. We ended up getting a wedge salad (with pepperoni instead of bacon???? Weird), Brussels sprouts (ok, but overcooked and heavily sweetened) and a chicken mojo dish where it was hard to find the chicken. The bottom line was that the food was marginal, not at all what we were expecting. On a whole other level we felt tricked because we had specifically reserved a balcony table with a view, (informing them it was our last night on Key West, and our anniversary) but they totally ignored those requests and put us back against a wall on a balcony where any possible view was blocked by lowered curtains. There were 4 open tables that had at least a limited view, but when we questioned being moved to one of them they told us they had been reserved before we made our reservation ( so why not tell us that beforehand??) so... again.... mediocre food, terrible customer service, including being deceptive about seating us as we requested. I seriously suggest eating elsewhere if looking for a nice meal. 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

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
