Great service and food by the water. Best time to visit restaurants would be at sunrise or sunset. Remember to make reservations

Lovely boat ride to and from island. The restaurant itself was extremely nice, outside was dimly lit and romantic with all the Christmas lights and torches. This would be a perfect restaurant for sunset. Service was wonderful throughout from the captain to our server. We ordered the lobster bisque which was very delicious and filled with lobster. Free bread and butter... olive and plain bread, both good. For the entree we split the shrimp carbonara... both receiving our own plates with large portions. Definitely would have thought those were individual entrees. Finished with the key lime pie, meringue was like a marshmallow! Was very good but not the best in key west. read more

My friends & I went here for dinner during our girls trip & had a few thoughts. (3.5/5) The Ferry: the ferry to the island was quick & the process was simple. we were a little confused because your reservation time is actually your meeting time at the dock but the staff was very nice & responsive in answering all our questions. The Restaurant: the overall ambiance & vibes at the restaurant were amazing. we had requested to sit outside which they were not able to accommodate however we were able to sit facing a large window so we're were still able to soak in the ambience while in the AC which was perfect! The Food/Drinks: we ordered a few appetizers, soups/salads, entrees, & drinks. unfortunately this is where the experience falls a little short...the portions were massive & could have easily been shared between people but everything we ordered lacked flavor & were a bit generic. one of my friends ordered the shrimp carbonara & she was given a giant bowl of pasta that was drowning in alfredo sauce w/ a few shrimps thrown on top. i ordered the lobster risotto & the lobster was dry & cold w/ no seasonings. & the risotto was bland. The Service: the host, wait, & bar staff were all very friendly & answered any questions we had. Overall: if i was staying on sunset key this would definitely be a good place for an appetizer & a cocktail. i expected a little more especially w/ the prices however the experience was fun & would definitely give it another try read more

I took my husband here for his birthday and oh my gosh, what an experience it was. First, we had to take a 2 to 3 minute ferry to an island off of Key West. Once docked, we had to walk through a neighborhood to get to the restaurant so I do not recommend wearing high heels, especially if they are not comfortable. Next the attire, I wouldn't say that you have to totally dress up but I also wouldn't be in jeans and a T-shirt either I wore a white sundress. My husband wore a button-down shirt with stylish shorts. Our waitress was amazing and knew the menu. We went with all her recommendations, and they were spot on the espresso martini, warm bread with latitude, butter, the Caprese salad, and the Wagyu steak and potatoes. I personally think that they put too much sauce on the steak, but that's my personal preference. I'm taking one star away because there was no music in the background. It was only filled with conversations from the other tables. Make sure to make your reservations well in advance. We were lucky that someone canceled. read more

A most excellent lunch here with beautiful views! It was a little chilly so they had heaters for dining on the patio. I had their Specialty Burger, expensive but huge and unbelievably delicious! Side of truffle fries were the perfect accompaniment. Overall, service was very good. We made a reservation well in advance. Easy 5 minute ferry ride over from Opal Key Marina (don't forget your belongings on the boat!). read more

I have had the pleasure of eating here before, both for dinner and lunch and the experience has always been amazing. This year we were able to grab a last minute breakfast reservation and once again I was so impressed with the whole experience. The boat ride over, coming within touching distance of the cruise ship in port was smooth and so easy. Once we got on the island, you are escorted to the restaurant. I asked for outdoor seating, yes even I know July in Florida! I would not do it for lunch as I would ask for patio then, but for breakfast and dinner it is the only way to truly experience the majestic views. Our waiter, Alex S, was polite and patient and his recommendation of the eggs Benedict was amazing. We never felt rushed or fast served. On the contrary we were told to relax and enjoy ourselves, I guess one of the pleasures of the early morning breakfast crew! The manager, Sara, stopped over to check in on everything and when we were leaving spent time with us telling us the history of the island! I didn't know it was man made but thankfully for us it was! Everything about the experience only wants me to come back again and again. Thank you for one of the best experiences on the island and for a view that is etched in my memory! read more

For one the nicest restaurant in Key West, it was quite mediocre. I will start by saying everyone that ordered the Hogfish which is the restaurants speciality, was very satisfied and enjoyed their meal. That being said, every person who did NOT order the hogfish, including myself, said their meal was very very very average. I had the scallops, and tried both of the shrimp pastas on the menu and they were all so bland and boring and the scallops were beyond over cooked. We had a large party but regardless of that the service was quite slow, even for drink orders. So take this review as you will, maybe get the hogfish if you go! read more

What a fun experience. First step is to make a reservation and take the boat ride to the island. Once at the island, the restaurant is located right off the beach and shore. The weather was perfect, the service was fantastic and our breakfast meal was a delight. I highly recommend this upscale experience when visiting Key West. read more

Beautiful location, no doubt about that. The ferry ride over is lovely, and the views are amazing. Definitely "location, location, location." But that's where the positives end. I made the reservation months in advance expecting a great experience, and we were sat at one of the worst tables in the restaurant. When I asked to move to a better one (which sat empty all night), I was told it was "reserved." Two and a half hours later, that same table was still empty. Our waitress interrupted me mid-order to announce that they only split the check two ways and did so with an attitude. Not exactly the warm welcome you'd expect from a fine dining spot. We ended up paying on one card anyway, but the tone was already off. The food was average for ridiculous prices. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out, definitely not worth the hype or the $1,000 bill. The view is five stars, but the food, service, and overall experience don't come close. Bottom line: Beautiful setting, but the service was rude, the food was mediocre, and the management couldn't care less. Wouldn't go back. read more

For the money and the expecting of an amazing place, the best part about this place is the actual island and ambiance of the restaurant. Service was slow and the food quality was so so. The one mocktail was not good (and they didn't charge us - thanks) but when you go a place like this expecting a 5 star food and service, it doesn't measure up. Too bad. read more

An absolute must visit when in Key West. Just make sure to secure a reservation if you want the outdoor seating but when we came around the holidays, it didn't seem super busy. It was very easy to find the complimentary ferry over to this place. Just put in "Sunset Key Ferry for Latitudes" in Google maps and the location is very accurate. Not far from the Opal Resort and you'll find a large board with menus for Latitudes right before you board. The ferry conveniently has both outdoor and indoor seating, perfect for those of us coming in at night and wearing dresses. The food and ambiance 100% met the price point. I was actually surprised that the lobster risotto's market price was only $54. Very tasty and plenty of lobster meat. The cocktails were great too. When you put in the reservation that it's for a birthday, the staff will stick a sparkler on top when you grab the key lime pie for dessert. Highly recommend as a stop for anyone visiting Key West. read more

My wife and I had the most wonderful breakfast here. Had to make reservations and take a boat trip to sunset key , but it was a once in a life time experience. The food was world-class, and Manosas crabs Benedict , fresh fruit wow . Service was flawless . And the ambiance of eating along a white sand beach watching parasailers was breath taking. Wife even had a little lizard come up and drink the dew water coming of her ice water glass . Totally enjoyed this morning adventure. read more

Our 2nd night on Key West and this was the best place we ate at. The food was spectacular. Very flavorful and delicious. We are picky and were very impressed. I promise you it's the best crab cake! The dinner was great and we should have made another reservation lol we will be back. No other place topped this. Outside was warm and breezy. Our waiter was excellent and I forgot his name because we had a bottle of wine lol oh my hubby had the seared grouper and he loved it too! We shall be back soon!! read more

The service was good. The ambiance was amazing! Make sure the host does not forget you are waiting for your table. The manager, Carter, rectified the issue with our table; we had noted in the reservation that we were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary, but we were seated at the table by the kitchen. Our server was solicitous and great with recommendations. If you order a bottle of wine, make sure it is the correct bottle, or you may be served a more expensive selection. We were disappointed in the attention to detail. Our three children called to arrange to buy us a drink, called and talked to someone, in person, and provided a credit card. However, their kind gesture was left with no one following through. It happens, but for this level of restaurant, we expected more. Overall, the food was excellent. The attention to detail is severely lacking. Summary: Food is great: The overall experience LACKING:( read more

Always an amazing experience. Outstanding staff. All take amazing care of their guests. Can't say enough about the team.

From the ferry ride over to the views from the island....what a nice place. Top notch service and food. Make a reservation and go treat yourself to a delicious meal and amazing sunset views on the water. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant overlooking the ocean. We sat outside under an umbrella with a lovely view of the water and passing boats.

Was expecting better. Very good food at fair prices with a wonderful view. However, we were disappointed in the service. Waited nearly 20 minutes to place our order. No bread service. Waitress got our appetizer order wrong. When dessert was delivered by a server, she didn't bring spoons. I turned around to ask for spoons and the waitress yelled "Why are you treating me like this." Sad for a highly regarded restaurant read more

Best Breakfast I have ever had! Service was impeccable! Loved every second of it! Will definitely be back!

Such a fun experience! Honestly one of my favorite things we did in the Keys. Loved the whole experience from the boat ride to the most beautiful views. It really inspired us to come back and stay on Sunset Key next time. Like most things in the keys service was slower but the views were so beautiful we didn't mind. For food we did the conch bites with key lime aioli and lobster bisque to start. The conch flavor was so good but texture was just a bit chewy which is normal. We felt like we needed to try it while in the Keys but probably wouldn't order again just from a texture standpoint. The lobster bisque was great despite the hot weather. For our entrees we did the Cuban and crab+lobster cake. The highlight was definitely the sauce work all day. We finished with the key lime pie to go because we didn't want to miss the boat (about 30 mins between shuttles). Definitely don't skip the pie! I give four stars because the food, while good, wasn't our favorite of the trip. If it weren't for the whole experience we wouldn't necessarily be called to go back. read more

Where to begin in describing our experience at the Latitudes restaurant on Sunset Key?! Let me start by saying this is a really special experience if you are lucky enough to visit. You take a ~7 minute ferry from the marina at Opal Key to the dock on Sunset Key, the ride is brief but the ferry captain is a pro and provides a smooth sail! Next the bartender at Latitudes, Skip, is awesome. We arrived a bit early for our lunch reservation and he gave us great service and delicious cocktails while we waited. Not to mention he put in a good word and got us a prime table on the patio... Fantastic!! For lunch we ordered the Baja cracked conch, which was delicious. The Yellowtail Snapper and blackened Grouper sandwich. Both were fantastic and flavorful! We truly enjoyed our experience at Latitudes and on Sunset Key. Make sure to get your reservation early, because they book up quickly!! read more

This is the second time we came here. First time was for lunch and this time for dinner. You have to make reservations way ahead of time! We ended up sitting inside because it was cool Outside and very windy. Service was outstanding. Very attentive and friendly! Our food for dinner was good. The tuna tartar was my favorite. The octopus was okay but felt a little tough. The skirt steak was tender, booked perfectly but I felt like was a little lover powered by the marinade. You can beat the views! Definitely come here if you can! read more

A truly magical place! We booked a week in advance to secure a table through opentable , hoping for a sunset dinner, but unfortunately, those were fully booked during our stay on the island. Instead, we booked for breakfast, and it turned out to be an amazing experience from start to finish--including the boat ride to the restaurant. Food was delicious, It's considered pricey but it's absolutely worth it. I'll definitely return if I'm ever in the area again! read more

I treated myself to a nice dinner on Sunset Key on my last night in Key West and it was lovely! Your reservation time is the time you'll catch the ferry from Key West so keep that in mind. The boat ride over was gorgeous with great views! I was unfortunately seated around 5:30 in full sunlight but I was determined to stick it out in the heat to catch the sunset. Plenty of tables moved inside and they were pretty accommodating. I tried the cucumber cooler drink which was so refreshing and perfect for the hot day. I started with the Key West pinks shrimp app which were huge! Very fresh and delicious and the horseradish romanesco sauce was a good tangy contrast. For my entree I had the yellowtail snapper. I am always a shellfish over fish person but this was some of the best fish I have ever had! The pan sear was crispy and the glazes paired so nicely with the rice and fresh fennel salad. I ended with key lime pie and the sunset of course which was amazing! I had a res for 5:15 on Saturday and they did not mind me sticking around for 2+ hours which was nice. I also felt like my meal was not as expensive as I thought. It's definitely a splurge but when on vacation! read more

With the wife's birthday coming up, I wanted to take her some place special. You take a ferry from Key West to Sunset Key, about 7 minutes. We had a 5:15 dinner reservation and with the sun setting at 5:40 - it was perfect timing. Had the Grilled Octopus, Lobster and Crab Cake, French Onion Soup and the Grilled Grouper. Everything was delicious and plenty of left overs. read more

Latitudes is incredibly special, and I'm so glad that we were able to get a reservation for dinner while in Key West. We had a nice outside table with a gorgeous view of the water. Tiki torches and palm trees added to the ambiance. It felt quite magical. Our server, Ivo, was very attentive and helpful. We ordered some cocktails to start and enjoyed the warm bread basket while waiting for our entrees. Prices are high, but not outrageous, especially because the portions are generous. I had the shrimp carbonara, which was amazing. Others at the table enjoyed the beef tenderloin which looked fantastic, too. We ended the meal with key lime pie, which was not the best we've had, but it was still a nice way to end the meal. However, I had to remove stars due to a really unpleasant encounter with a female boat captain who was incredibly rude to us. Since you have to take a boat from main Key West to Sunsest Key, we didn't realize that your reservation time is the same as your boat departure time. We figured we would need to take the boat slightly earlier than our reservation time, which I'm sure happens constantly (and some signage at the boat dock or a note from OpenTable would clear that all right up). So we arrived a little early and were unceremoniously told that we were not at all welcome. I'll spare you the details, but the captain's unprofessionalism almost made us cancel our reservation. I have an idea that she took out some aggression on us because of a mistake she'd just made by leaving some people behind on the Sunset Key dock. It was not the best first impression of Latitudes, and I have to say the interaction really did ruin what was an otherwise lovely night. read more

The evening didn't start well. I was hosting three guests and wanted the evening to be special. We planned to go early and have drinks at the bar while watching the sun set. We were not allowed go over early and one of the people operating the ferry explained that when owners on the island pay a $7k per month HOA, they didn't want riffraff walking around on their island. We just wanted to go to the bar in a beautiful location and watch the sunset while having drinks. We didn't need to be insulted. As it turns out, it isn't possible to see the sunset in January from the dining area. The service was impeccable. The location was beautiful. The food was adequate. One of my guests felt ill after the meal and thought it might have been the key lime martini. I'd been wanting to go to Latitudes for a while. I'm glad that I have had the experience, but I'm not sure I will go back. read more

When they say this is a destination restaurant they aren't kidding. Mainly because you have to take a ferry to get to your reservation ;) My sweet sister surprised me on my birthday trip to Key West with a gift certificate and a reservation at Latititudes on Sunset Key. It requires a free ferry ride over there to get to it as well. It was free and not that complicated if you aren't a guest. Note though that you DO need a reservation to even be allowed on the ferry as it is limited to guests on the island or people who have bought a beach pass for the day or who have a reservation for the restaurant. The ferry ride is only about 10 minutes or so. We did Lunch-on-the-Beach (which is still in a restaurant but on a sandy patio area overlooking the water with palm trees etc. Beautiful hotel and area for a bite! The menu is pretty seafood forward so keep that in mind if you have people in the party who are not seafood or fish eaters (like my husband). There are options however but before booking and going through the whole thing take a look at the menu first. We started our meal with the Caesar salad and added the Grilled Honey Chipotle Chicken. We used that as a starter and it was a very big salad (entree size). The salad was OK (could have used more garlic) but that chicken was YUMMY! I wasn't sure about adding it because they charged $15 for what is essentially one grilled chicken breast which made it a $30 Caesar salad. It was big but could have used a more robust dressing. For mains my husband had the Waygu burger which was well cooked and well seasoned. Definitely a big burger with a nice brioche bun. I had the Key West Shrimp Quesadilla which was delicious. The shrimp were plentiful and very fresh, the mushrooms in it were delicious and it came with a Salsa Verde which was very good. Both came with a choice of seasoned fries, truffle fries, an arugula salad, or homemade potato chips. We had the seasoned fries and they were very good. We closed with the Key Lime Pie (Yummy!) and some Limoncello. Very nice close to the meal! The service was exceptional and the team worked very well together, and the ambiance and atmosphere was lovely. They also offer inside restaurant space and it looked inviting and wonderful as well. Worth a splurge as a special occasion meal :) read more

We took a short boat ride from Key West to Sunset Key. We had a patio table with a great view of the ocean and a nice light breeze. We had a cocktail and ordered a grilled octopus appetizer, which was very tender and delicious. I had grouper and chorizo and my wife had the swordfish on a bed of relish with corn and peppers. My grouper was tender and perfectly seasoned and the chorizo was lightly spicy. The swordfish was also delicious and the relish really complimented the dish. Presentation on both was excellent. We finished by sharing a piece of Carmel cheese cake that was also fantastic. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. To top off the evening, the view of the sunset was incredible, with guests getting up to get photos. I highly recommend you schedule your reservation to coincide with the sunset as it was the highlight of an amazing evening. Then we hopped on the next boat back to Key West and chatted with some of other guests on the way back. This outing was one of the major highlights of our vacation. read more

Such a beautiful remote spot! You take a boat from Key West to Sunset Key, which was cool. We came here for a bachelorette party brunch but were disappointed that the breakfast/brunch menu stops at 11 AM. Luckily the lunch menu was good but I wish the brunch menu was available longer. The food was good but the service was slow... it took about 45 min to get our first round of drinks and then another 20 minutes or so to get our food. The view was incredible, I think I would recommend to others but hope they can add to their menu and work on getting drinks and food out sooner. read more

Latitudes lived up to the hype! You have to take a ferry there, which gives the feeling of exclusivity when you arrive. Although I would have liked to see our waiter slightly more frequently, the service was still solid. The food was very good, fish cooked perfectly as well as the shrimp. The grilled octopus appetizer was a little chewy and undercooked however the taste made up for it. We went before sunset, and it was a cloudy day, but if you can get a reservation for sunset on a clear day I'm sure there is no better place for sunset vibes in Key West read more
