Eight of us enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving Dinner at La Te Da for $58 per plate. That was far less than many Key West restaurants were charging. Plenty of food, all of it good. Lots of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans/haricot vert (which I don't care for) and more. The pumpkin pie was served still partially frozen which was disappointing, but we took it to go and ate it later. I can't speak to their standard menu, but their service was good, the place was comfortable, albeit too dark in our dining room. read more

Cute ambiance, great service and food was good too. We ordered the burrata and lobster bisque to start then the snapper. We had to finish it off with the key lime pie to share. Everything was very good! We didn't stay for the show but maybe next time we will. read more

This restaurant is our favorite place to eat on the island! The service and atmosphere is always 10/10. The food is amazing. I highly recommend the filet with blue cheese crumbles melted on top! At our most recent visit, we brought our 10 month old son with us to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. I was a little nervous that our server would be annoyed to see a baby at a white table cloth establishment but he went above and beyond for him and brought him the yummiest spaghetti followed by wrapping a napkin around him so he did not get his fancy Tommy Bahama shirt dirty. WE LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

You can buy tickets for the show but beware the two drink minimum once you arrive at the venue!

I typically enjoy discovering and appreciating hidden gems; however, this experience did not meet my expectations. I chose the La Te Da Hotel as the destination for my 2024 birthday vacation. After conducting research and reviewing feedback, I decided to reserve Room #27 due to its private porch -- although I later learned it is not all that private. The path to other rooms passes by this area. There are also lounge chairs in close proximity for guests to enjoy the pool and a shed hotel staff go in and out. On December 7, 2023, I booked Room #27 for September 12-16, 2024. On February 12, 2024, I was notified that the hotel would soon be renovating the historic building behind the property and guestrooms toward the rear. Consequently, my reservation for Room #27 was changed to Room #25, which I found unacceptable given my specific request for Room #27, leading me to cancel the reservation. Subsequently, I reconsidered my plans for my 2025 birthday. On December 11, 2024, I rebooked and explicitly requested Room #27 for September 4-8, 2025. However, on August 29, 2025, I received confirmation indicating Room #25. I responded to the hotel, provided last year's situation, and was assured by the hotel manager Eric that I had been reserved in Room #27, with no mention of ongoing construction. Had I been informed of the renovations, I would have canceled immediately. When I arrived on September 4, 2025, amidst heavy rain, I was unsure whether I was at the correct check-in area due to ongoing construction. The check-in space was small and covered with heavy plastic sheeting, which created an unwelcoming atmosphere. I was greeted by what appeared to be the hotel manager, along with a female employee. The manager asked if I was checking in alone, to which I confirmed that I was. The female employee remarked that I was checking in alone for my birthday; however, my birthday was the following week and my purpose was simply to relax during a solo trip, not specifically for the celebration. She seemed to have seen my email from a week earlier, as she was aware of my birthday. I later saw her again and she appeared to be sizing me up. I am unsure of her role, as I did not observe her engaged in any other duties. After check-in, the manager escorted me to my room, which did not inspire confidence. I observed rust on the mini fridge and a bathroom faucet that had been repeatedly cracked and glued. As I had an early start that morning, I planned to rest. The pillowcases were of poor quality and pulled at my hair. When I woke and retrieved items from my suitcase that I left opened, I noticed my clothes were damp. I initially noticed water on the floor upon entering the room but attributed it to rain water from my suitcase, and shoes, especially as the manager was ahead of me when I entered the room. There was a faint leak, most likely had been ongoing. Additionally, the construction which started at 8 a.m. and was disruptive. The dining options and drinks available were average. Aside from the ongoing renovation, I believe there is room for improvement in presentation and cleanliness, such as replacing stained tablecloths, discarding coffee-stained sugar packets left for next guests on dining tables, upgrading small appliances like the mini fridge and fixtures, and providing higher-quality pillowcases. Shower did not produce warm water so I endured cold showers all four days. And wi-fi service was poor. I chose not to use the pool, despite originally planning to, because it was directly visible from the dining area, which I found off-putting. During my stay, I observed only a few guests using the pool, generally one couple at a time. It is a small boutique hotel and if I heard correctly, only 8 rooms were occupied. Additionally, the room lacked a desk or vanity area for laptop, personal grooming or applying makeup. Overall, while most staff members were friendly, the overall experience has led me to decide not to return to Key West in the future. read more

Food was good, service poor. Charged 5 dollars to split a meal and only on check per table which put a damper on us 4 couples trying to figure out the bill. With today's technology, don't understand. Won't go back. There are a plenty of great places to go, willing to work with you! read more

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the La Te Da a week ago. It was our first time staying there, and I can confidently say it will not be the last time. This place has everything - a great restaurant, great bar, fabulous and comfortable rooms but MOST of all it has staff that are truly committed to making your stay as pleasant as possible. Lodging includes a prepared breakfast every morning. A real breakfast not a buffet with dried-out eggs or stale muffins. The lunch menu was also excellent offering a variety of great tasting salads and sandwiches. The bar was an awesome place to have an excellent cocktail and meet a variety of guests and locals. Their old-fashioned is fantastic. The location couldn't be better. It is within walking distance of everything you need to see and away from the hubbub on the other side of Duval St. It also has fantastic entertainment every night. The music was an excellent way to relax in the evening. We had the pleasure of being there during their Christmas party and toy drive for underprivileged children. The decorations on the grounds were amazing. Bring a toy and enjoy the party which included fantastic food and music. It was so great to be a part of that. I really can't say how much we enjoyed staying there. You will too! read more

I wish I could rate this lovely spot higher. setting was great our waitress wonderful food also excellent. what was missing was the bartender who didn't seem to care to make orders for the tables She has her own customers !! Our special order came out wrong - probably 15 minutes after seating ? Might have been ten but she was slinging drinks in her area. Oh well I'd come back - and maybe sit at the bar !! Did I mention our waitress was really lovely ? read more

Crystal Room Cabaret is located on the second floor of La Te Da. It's a theater that presents drag shows, but not the typical "hoot and howler" type of show with lip syncing. No, these are real professional class acts without any nudity, but with gorgeous costumes, good dancing, acting skills and singing voices. It's surprising and so untypical of drag performances. When I went, I was shocked as the crowd was almost all elderly, all with the appearance of being straight. Like I'm 79, and was far from being the oldest. As the theater is on the second floor and there are no elevators, you've got stair case hike. They also tell you to be there at 8:00 o'clock, but that is so they can get you to buy plenty of liquor as the shoe doesn't start until 9:00 o'clock. The show itself is pretty good, but the jokes and the banter they employ is rather old and tired. And though the audience gives a good applause, it's rather reserved with no shouts, whistling or raving. Crystal Room Cabaret only has two performer who alternate doing solo performances. They're good, great singers, gorgeous costumes, but I found there acts to be totally boring, lacking in any spontaneousness and sort of without effervescence. read more

We stayed here to celebrate our anniversary. La Te Da made our anniversary trip AMAZING! Everyone was so sincere and sweet. We were treated like family. This trip has definitely helped us to decide that La Te Da is our new home away from home on future trips to Key West. All of our bartenders (James, Denise, Samantha, Chanel, Adriana) were so amazing and kind. They took such good care of us. Eric at the front desk is the perfect host. Mauricio and all of the kitchen staff made our meals memorable. We love each and every one of the La Te Da family and look forward to returning as soon as possible. read more

We purchased tickets for the Randy Roberts drag show and ate dinner prior to the show starting! The food was very good but service could have been better! However the drag show was totally a disappointment more than we could have ever expected! The seating lady was rude from the start and wouldn't listen when we told her one of the chairs was broken and we didn't want to sit in it! Then if you are not sitting silently then they don't want you there! Do not come expecting to have a good time, sing along, or even quietly speak to anyone sitting beside you because that is very much looked down on and they will be extremely rude!!! Randy Roberts show itself was not great and all but the Cher part was not worth the time! Save your money and go to a different show! read more

Quite an amazing show, Randy Roberts performance was fun and exciting. Would definitely recommend when in Key West!

If you're in Key West and looking for a place that delivers more than just great cocktails, head to La Te Da and ask for James. From the moment we sat down at the bar, he greeted us like old friends. The place has that upscale, intimate vibe, but it was James who made the night unforgettable! Not only did he mix the most incredible drinks (seriously, the espresso martini is chefs kiss) but he did it with charisma and served it up with style. Watching him work is like watching a performance--fluid, confident, and totally dialed in. Beyond the cocktails, James made everyone feel seen. He remembered names, made killer recommendations based on our tastes, and somehow kept the entire bar flowing with ease and grace. It's rare to find someone who can elevate the whole experience just by being behind the bar. We came for the cocktails, stayed for the vibe, and we have come back 3 YEARS IN A ROW for James! La Te Da, you have a treasure in this one, DO NOT let him go! Can't wait to come back! read more

Great food n staff. Especially the bartender James. He is very knowledgeable about there menu n drinks He also is knowledgeable about the area. I'm coming again n happy to see James. Five stars read more

Randy Roberts expects the crowd to be QUITE!!! No talking during the show. We were RUDELY told to be quiet. We were not drunk, we are a group of 4 women over 65. Did we talk, yes. Randy Roberts is full of himself. You need to learn to roll with it. I will always recommend anywhere else but this show. read more

I came to La Te Da recently and really was pleasantly surprised. While on vacation, i came here with a couple of friends for a nice dinner on Duval Street. One thing i learned is the restaurant is also a hotel, not sure how that works for guests but there was no issue with that as a restaurant guest. The restaurant itself, was a bit more formal than what I had anticipated. From the street, it has a very laid-back appearance With what you can see which is the bar but once you walk in you'll see it completely different atmosphere which almost has sort of an old Hollywood feel/vibe due to the hotel being attached. The service was great. Everyone who helped was fantastic and helpful. For a starter I went simple with a classic Caesar and my dinner entree was their Bolognese, which probably was one of my favorites I've ever had. The noodles were real dense and the sauce had a touch of sweetness that really topped off the dish. The meal was heavy. I wanted to finish it all- and i almost did, but i couldn't. The salad was $14 and entree was $28. Overall not bad at all for a nice sit down dinner in key west. I will absolutely be back. read more

This has been my second time here and it has been fantastic. Great job in the kitchen chef we ordered the biscuits and gravy, eggs , home fries, and it was just amazing. Great job. read more

We went here by recommendation of a local. It was AMAZING. We had the seafood pasta, you cannot go wrong with this dish! The staff were wonderful and the food was fantastic! We will definitely be back! read more

The only reasons this is not a 5 star are: difficult to get reservations, was not able to see the show, and the hostess pulled her mask off of her face to speak to us. Food was okay, just nothing to write home about. Loved the seat by the pool, although there was yellow caution tape up when we arrived. Seems as if there was broken glass in the pool that they were thoroughly cleaning which made me feel better Would absolutely go again for a show. read more

La Te Da - Christopher Peterson - Cabaret Near Me - Key West, Florida

My partner and I saw Christopher Peterson's show last night and left wanting only more. It was so excellent that we would have stuck around and watched it all over again a second time if that were an option. Christopher is ridiculously talented. He sings his own songs with an absolutely perfect voice. He designs his own costumes. He dances and impersonates with perfection, sometimes with caricature for comedic effect, otherwise just spot on with a sense of nostalgia and tribute to the iconic artists he portrays. The show is like nothing I have ever seen - truly original, interactive, fun. It's a bargain at $33, and honestly, he could easily get away with charging more. It's worth every penny. I will recommend this show to anyone I know going to Key West from now on. If you go to Key West and don't go to this show, well you missed out. read more

Drinks at the bar before watching the Randy Roberts show. The key lime martini was excellent and service was very fast the fact that the bar and front and bar is decorated with the land of misfit toys. Randy Robert's show was spectacular and a very classy production. The time seemed to fly by as the songs and outfits were made the show really "pop". People have complained about the 2 drink minimum but this is not a deal breaker by any means. read more

Saw Christopher Peterson's show for the third time tonight in a few years. I took two friends, one was a birthday and her best friend. They both needed an escape from the realities they were experiencing for the last few months. This did the trick! Christopher's show was incredible as always! My friends were exhilarated and joyful by the end of the performance. We had a wonderful dinner first downstairs at La Te Da. All three of us are very long time residents of Key West, From 64 years to 33 years between us. This was a great treat. The restaurant food and staff were excellent. Ambiance is top of the line. Then to go up stairs and see Peterson's show, OMG, just an incredible evening. The energy in the place should not be missed if you are visiting Key West. This is a high class place with a lot of Key West history. Do make a point of enjoying it. read more

In all our time in Key West, we've spent plenty of time at La Te Da's Sunday tea dances, attended a couple Randy Roberts shows (always an awesome time) and even had breakfast once. The one La Te Da experience we were missing was a nice dinner. This past Sunday, we were at the Tea Dance and trying to decide where to have dinner on our last night in Key West (always a buzz kill) when a few seats opened up at the outdoor bar. Why not just eat here? We did not regret that decision. The bartender was friendly and entertaining while also very professional and knowledgeable. We were really impressed with the menu selection, with everything from seafood to nice steaks to pasta. It took a while to decide, but eventually, I went with the wedge salad to start with the spaghettini and shrimp as my entree. My husband went with the filet mignon and caesar and we both had a couple glasses of wine. The salads were great. Big portions and the homemade blue cheese dressing on the wedge was phenomenal. The pasta came with a delicious sauce and a very generous portion of perfectly cooked jumbo shrimp. The caesar was a pretty standard caesar and the filet was to die for. Great sear, cooked to perfection in the middle and seasoned perfectly. This place may be a bit pricey, but there's a reason for that. You get what you pay for. read more

0.Delish...so glad we decided to have brunch here. We were in town for a bachlorette party and for pride weekend so we decided to.grab brunch before some of us headed back home . Super cute place. It was a hotel/bed and breakfast with a pool and restaurant. We had a large party but the server did a great job taking care of us. I decided to get the soft scrambled with chives and sour cream. It came with toast and home fries/potatoes. Everything was good but I thought there would be more chives, I thought they would be throughout the eggs. The potatoes were very good. It was a solid meal but nothing extrodinary, I probably should have picked one of the benedicts. Everyone enjoyed their meal and of course loved the spicy bloody and various types of mimosa' s. Our meal ended with Chris,( maybe the owner but I'm not sure) giving us some pride swag. Great guy, funny and personable. It was great meeting him, he even took a group photo with us. Definitely a place I'll come back to. read more

While visiting Key West, this cabaret, restaurant and hotel are a must. The piano bar is so welcoming, and the entertainment changes nightly (Ronnie and Stacia with 3Sum - fabulous) We have been here every night, including dinner (ask for Alan as a waiter). A fun, welcoming crowd including locals and visitors. We caught Christopher Peterson's cabaret show last night. We've see many female impersonators - - she was the best. She performs so many characters flawlessly, sings live (amazing!), and shares so many life stories as costume changes happen right before your eyes. This is a true and professional show, well worth the cover and drink minimum (staff is wonderful). Nice mix of straight and gay patrons. The humor is fun and edgy, but completely escapes the tawdry jokes or inebriated, loud crowd found on central Duvall St (I know we all have our moments , so I'm not judging ). We're headed back tonight to see The Spectrelles. La Te Da in our new "Cheers", where everybody knows our name. Glenn & Nick read more
