We had a nice meal here. It is a super cute hotel and I would have loved to been able to catch a drag show next time. We sat by the pool which was gorgeous and nicely shaded. Our server was friendly and helpful. The food was pretty good! We enjoyed the baked Brie appetizer and cocktails were good as well. read more

La Te Da Restaurant - Seating - New American Near Me - Key West, Florida

I've been here a few times and it's always good. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures when I took out of town friends there last night. It's a very fun place that has always been welcoming to everyone, gay or straight. We were a mixed group and everyone loved the casual atmosphere and the top notch food. I and one friend had the snapper, which was perfectly cooked. Another person had the duck , which was crispy and delicious. The wahoo special was excellent and the cocktails were fabulous too. Everyone was really pleased with the whole experience and we were happy we went there. It's semi out of doors but we were under a roof and they had dropped down plastic walls that completely sheltered us. Highly recommended, dry or rainy! read more

Heard a lot about this place. Went for breakfast and really enjoyed the vibe and the food. Service was great too. I had the Blackstone Benedict which was tasty....home fries had a great taste. My wife enjoyed the classic breakfast. Nice list of mimosas and a good bloody mary. read more

Worst key lime pie in the world. Food was good otherwise... but ugh... not a way to end. Great service!

Delicious food and a wonderful dining experience at La Te Da in Key West. The ribeye was cooked to perfection -- tender, flavorful, and exactly as ordered -- while the seafood pasta was absolutely heavenly, packed with fresh seafood and rich, delicious flavor. The service was friendly and attentive, and the lively atmosphere made the evening even more enjoyable. Definitely a spot I would return to and recommend to anyone visiting Key West. read more

We went for dinner, make reservations. We sat outside and the atmosphere is chill and romantic. The food is amazing!! We had shrimp scampi and seafood pasta (special of the day). Both dishes were delicious. The shrimp was sooooo good. Staff is friendly and attentive. Highly recommend. read more

La Te Da Restaurant - Exterior - New American Near Me - Key West, Florida

We dined here for the complimentary breakfast that came with our room. The food was good and what I would have expected. I do like the environment as it's practically outside and on a lovely morning like we had, it was nice. Our waiter was attentive and overall service was good. The complimentary menu is more limited than their regular menu, but we tried the biscuits and gravy (which I judge a restaurant by) and they were what I would have hoped. If you like biscuits and gravy, get them! My husband had the Eggs La Te Da, which he liked. He wasn't a fan of the sour cream in the eggs, but I know I would have enjoyed them. We also tried a single pancake because I do love a good pancake. It was good and what I would have hoped. They do serve it with a whipped oleo or what seemed like a non-butter spread. On our trips we like to venture out to lots of places so we didn't have dinner here, but if/when we come back, we will add it to the list and recommend you give them a try if you are in the area. Make a reservation for dinner, the two nights we walked through here, it was packed. read more

I believe this was my first time ever having biscuits and gravy so don't judge me too harshly for that. The Southernmost Sausage Gravy and Biscuits - True country Sage Sausage Gravy on a warm Buttermilk Biscuit were actually awesome -- and heavy. I didn't need to eat for the rest of the day! Our large party had a private table upstairs and service was generally good though it took a bit for us all to get our orders. The real reason to come here is the history. The name is from "La Terraza de Marti" or "The Balcony of Marti" and is indeed referenced in a Jimmy Buffett song though with a different spelling, apparently. Marti was a national hero of the Cuban Revolution and was an integral part in freeing Cuba from Spain. Yes, he gave his speeches from the balcony that is there. read more

We always stay at La Te Da on our annual trip to Key West. This was the first time we had dinner there, as there are so many places to eat, and we always run out of time. It will not be the last time we eat there. This will be one of our usual dinner stops. The ambiance is more formal with white linen tablecloths. The tables are outside, and all the Christmas decorations make for an excellent atmosphere. The hotel is always fantastic, so I expected nothing different when it came to the food and service. Our server was very attentive and made us feel comfortable and well cared for. My wife began with a wedge salad, which she loved. She said it was one of the best wedge salads she had. She said the dressing was superb. I had the shrimp in a sambuca-infused cream sauce. It sounded interesting, and it was FANTASTIC. The shrimp were perfectly prepared; the cream sauce was smooth and perfectly seasoned to complement the shrimp, and it was served over puff pastry. We each had the crab cake entree. The crab cakes are amazing. They are large, full of fresh crab, and bursting with flavor. It was served with orzo in an incredibly rich sauce, and grilled asparagus spears. We could have easily split an entree. We ended up taking one full entree back to our room. We also had one of the best key lime pies for dessert with a very light and flavorful whipped cream. If you're looking for a special meal when in town, you owe it to yourself to try the restaurant at La te da. read more

We had amazing happy hour apps at the bar... waygu sliders, shrimp cocktail (huge shrimp!) and great cocktails. We've also had dinner inside, with a romantic soft lighting and impeccable service. And also wonderful lunch on the covered patio, with great burgers and Bloody Marys. We hit this place so many times while visiting because it's so good!! This place is a gem! read more

Very cool ambiance!! Great bartender! The food (all that we tried) was excellent! Highly recommend the grilled yellow tail snapper! Music in the piano bar was very good, it seemed to serve as a mating call for cougars!! There were at least half a dozen working the room. Great for people watching! read more

This restaurant is casual on the outside but very posh inside with white linen table covers and beautiful silverware with small lantern lights. The stuffed chicken was on the pricey side but decent sized and tasty. I would recommend eating at night in the outside patio to see the blue lights and trees in the courtyard. They have hotel rooms surrounding the outside dining room. read more

We went to La Te Da last night for dinner and drinks. Service started off great. We were seated right away and our server was prompt and attentive. My wife ordered the spicy margarita, and when I asked about it the server suggested I try hers first, which I thought was a great idea. When the drink came out it was honestly undrinkable. We never send drinks back but this one was not even close, so she returned it and ordered their tea cocktail instead. I ordered a mojito. Unfortunately both of those drinks were just as bad. The tea drink had what tasted like old frozen strawberries mashed up in the bottom and the mojito was no better. We had ordered a clam and chorizo appetizer with our drinks, and to be fair, that was quite good. But between the three failed cocktails we decided to just pay our tab and go somewhere else for drinks and dinner. To be clear this has nothing to do with the drag show. We came back later because we already had tickets and the show was absolutely amazing. Highly recommended! read more

Food was excellent one of the best I've had in Key West. Service was real good and the ambiance was during singer song writers even...but the musics was good. read more

Couple of mimosas and we were hooked. I had the Bellini & the hubs had the blood orange mimosa. Both were outstanding. I had the wedge salad with chicken that was more than enough. The hubs had the BLT that was huge. He said his BLT was only second to BLTs I have made at home. Chock full of bacon. Overall, outstanding experience. read more

We stumbled on this place while checking things out on the southern end of Duval street, next to the Southern Most Beach Resort. We got seated in the bar area right away. (The courtyard tables were booked) I have nothing but great things to say. The food was FANTASTIC. Fish cooked and seasoned perfectly. Best spaghetti bolognese I've had in years. Lemon drops, Cape Cods and glasses of wine... top notch. Service was friendly and attentive. I loved that we sat facing the street and got to see lots of fun people and evening train rides. We didn't see a drag show because all of them were booked for a week. If you are researching a lot of restaurants before your visit to Key West like I did... add this to your bookings. It wasn't on my radar but so lucky and glad we visited. read more

An Unforgettable Experience at La Te Da - Thanks to Jon! If you're in Key West and only have time for one perfect dinner, make it La Te Da -- and if you're lucky enough to get Jon as your server, you're in for a five-star experience from start to finish. From the moment we were seated, Jon made us feel like VIPs. His knowledge of the menu, his warm and welcoming energy, and his flawless timing made the evening not just a meal, but a memory. He anticipated everything we needed before we even had to ask -- attentive but never intrusive, charming without being over the top. The food? Incredible. Perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor -- especially the airline chicken and the filet mignon. The setting at La Te Da is classic Key West: elegant but relaxed, full of charm! Jon, you made our night. Thank you for the impeccable service and the genuine hospitality. La Te Da is hands-down the best restaurant in Key West -- and Jon is the kind of server every place dreams of having. We'll be back soon -- and requesting Jon by name! read more

Back in Key West on a cruise stop. Had to bring my mom & sister to the best key lime pie martini I've ever had. So we're back, just like my original review said I would :) great drink, solid service, wonderful patio vibe. read more

We stayed at the La Te da hotel while we were in Key West, and since breakfast was included we also had several meals at restaurant. The breakfast was lovely, but the dinners were fantastic... Read a lot of meals when we were in Key West for the week, but my very favorite was at La Te da. The seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection! We had lunch once at the terrace bar, and the service was fantastic and the food was delicious. My mom was a huge fan of the 3Sum group which performs nightly starting at 830p. I highly recommend both the hotel and the restaurant if you're staying in the keys. read more

Long known as a loud, fun, and gay place to dine, we stopped by La Te Da Restaurant for dinner. I hadn't been to La Te Da in years and was surprised. The patronage has changed. It now attracts a more mature crowd, and this was during Spring Break. Times have changed. Anyway, the place was packed. No getting in without reservations. And though service was having a difficult time keeping up, they managed to do a good job. After a couple of cocktails which were of a most generous pour, I started off with their French Onion Soup done with Crostini, melted Fontina, Gruyere and Parmesan Cheese. It really had a great onion soup flavor, but there was more solid than broth to it. Then I had their Classic Caesar with a side of anchovy. It was heaping big with plenty of shaved parmesan; totally delicious. For our main entrée, my partner, and I both had their Filet Mignon done over a Mushroom Marsala Cream sauce with mashed potatoes & Asparagus. My filet came perfectly rare as ordered and my partner's medium as he has ordered. Then, last but not least, a delicious Key Lime pie. After all, you can't be in Key West without having key lime pie. Overall, a good meal with an enjoyable fun ambiance. read more

Good place good food. I think it was much better when mark Barrett owned it .. the staff was great back then

Located in a great part of Key West! The bar scene is hopping and very vibrant. The tables are located with a view of the pool. Christopher comes around to great all the diners. He even opens the door to the kitchen to praise his hard working staff. The food was excellent. Appetizers were French onion soup, beef carpaccio and shrimp cocktail. The entrees were Chicken, Meatloaf, crispy Duck L'Orange and Rib eye. The portions of each were generous and delicious. We were so blown away that I forgot to take photos of the entrees. Miraculously we had room for dessert: key lime and creme brûlée. First timers but our servers said See you next time! read more

Had dinner with my wife and this restaurant is a hidden gem. The ambiance is spectacular.

With its trio of ventures (restaurant/bar; small hotel; and cabaret) La Te Da is a lively place. We decided to bundle our experience so had dinner downstairs, then headed upstairs to catch Christopher Peterson's live cabaret show. First we were shown to a nice poolside table by the engaging manager. Service was a bit slow at first but sped up as the evening progressed. The menu is quite extensive. Wednesday's special was prime rib, a generous portion of tender beef with mashed spuds and veggies - a bargain at $30. Hubbie's pappardelle w/veal and lamb ragu was extremely flavorful. Drinks were potent and well balanced. Christopher Peterson's "female impersonator" show was so much more than that. CP did spot-on impressions of Liza Minelli, Tina Turner and several others. CP is a gifted chanteuse and told some racy jokes too. Details: Best to make rezs on Opentable for dining, especially if you want an outside table. (Even if Opentable shows no openings you may snag a table by calling on the phone). The prime rib special was not on the regular menu, had to request it which was no problem. Cabaret shows start at 9:00 with e-tickets purchased beforehand on La Te Da's website. Get there early if you want to get a table near the stage. Great evening. read more

Ambiance and service were excellent. The reason for only three stars are that both my husband and I had dishes that were so salty we couldn't finish them. We started with the lobster bisque which was good but not the best I've ever had ( too much tomato flavor for me) and the maple walnut salad which was great with a tasty dressing. For the salty main courses I had the stuffed chicken which came with broccolini and roasted potatoes. My husband had the yellow tail snapper which came with green beans and mashed potatoes. Both dishes were hot and tasty at first but the salt added was so overwhelming that neither of us could finish the dishes. We shared key lime pie for dessert which was just ok, too much cinnamon flavor in the crust, and the pie was not as creamy as it should be. read more

What can you say about perfection! I have been coming to Key West for a quarter century and LA DE DA is always a new experience for myself and friends. We come for the food, the ambience,the music, Christopher and the entire staff and also the crowd. Mike the bartender is always entertaining. Never disappointing. Must have birthday dinners and also Sunday brunch every trip! Music and dancing a couple times a week make Key West an evening event. Can't forget the Randy Robert's show. This is an annual event for everyone and any new strays we pick up along the way. One of the best voices anywhere! Thanks much for making our Key West trips unforgettable!
