Very nice restaurant to have a dinner date with a significant other or a girls night out. We sat outside in their back patio. Really nice night with a full moon out. Had the lobster bisque. Had lots of lobster chunks and I definitely tasted the cognac alcohol. They provided complimentary bread with butter. Had their Lobster fettuccine and it was very good. Creamy with more lobster chunks. Waiter was really nice and didn't mind checking with the chef or bartender on making sure my friend with celiac disease to be gluten free/safe for her. read more

Beautiful spot and fun atmosphere but a few issues while dining. First, hostess was rude. She had a strong accent, maybe Russian. We asked to change tables because it was very hot outside and no fans were blowing on us and my 75yo Mom was getting over heated. I get it, staff aren't a fan of table changes...but...after 10 years of working fine dining myself you smile and do it anyway. The hostess was rude about it. Not a fan and not a great way to start our first meal in KW. Our uber driver recommended this place since his friend worked there so upon arrival we asked for her if she was available, no big deal if she wasn't. Hostess was rude about us asking for some reason and we clearly said it's not an issue if her section is full. The waitress was very sweet but was in the weeds. I have no problem being patient with waitstaff in the weeds...been there. However when you wait over 45min for your food and coffees come out like warm after seeing them sit on the bar for 10min and then you forget wine orders (also could see them sit on the bar for 5-10min) and forget part of the meal (which got delivered as we were finishing) that's when I get a bit frustrated. She did apologize but eventually she was a bit checked out and the vibe was off. Throughout the meal we were kind, never complained, and still tipped her 20% bc that's what we do. Sadly we were treated like annoying tourists which was disappointing. Lastly, our food took forever and was mediocre. Tables that arrived after us got their food first and then once we did get our food she had forgotten part of the order that was eventually delivered towards the end of the meal. Is what it is. Again, cute spot but we won't be going back when we return to the Keys. read more

I recently celebrated my Christmas Day birthday dinner here on the back patio. A perfect evening with amazing cuisine and great service! The patio truly encompasses island with lush tropical plants all around. A truly romantic experience with small lamps on the tables. The service was impeccable with any needed assistance from surrounding team members. We will definitely dine in again upon our next visit to Key West! read more

Had dinner here to celebrate my friend's birthday. Their menu doesn't indicate any GF items so had to ask the server. He seemed fairly knowledgeable about celiac/GF. We shared a cheese tray which was delicious. I opted for sides - mashed potatoes and asparagus with burgundy sauce as my entree. I did order a key lime martini but the rim had what looked to be graham cracker on it. The server replaced it without anything on the rim just to be sure. I also had a key lime crème brûlée for dessert. The server bought out something special for the birthday girl too. Everything was pretty good - we sat outside which was beautiful out but there were some insects that we saw on the patio floor. read more

Wonderful place! One of the go-to restaurants on our annual Key West vacation. Varied menu with daily specials. If one of the specials offered is the lobster risotto, don't miss it! read more

Our server Tripp was definitely an enthuthiastic fellow. Went primarily for their "special" beff wellington not many ever make or much less make any good if so, and we were not disappointed. This includes the world famous Chef Ramsey of Hell's Kitchen who claim this as his signature dish. Anyway Hell's Kitchens aren't any good but Martin's is worth it. We would have liked a little more foie gras and slightly less mushrooms, but nonetheless very good. So was they're baked brie and the pate dishes. read more

We enjoyed our Christmas Day dinner here at Martin's in Key West! The restaurant has a nice vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating as well as a bar. For dinner, I had one of their specials, Lobster risotto. It was good! Creamy, well seasoned, and with a surprisingly healthy amount of lobster in it. My only critique of it is that the lobster was a little chewy. My family had the yellowtail Capri and chicken breast. The yellowtail had a nice sauce on it that was very tasty. I didn't try any of the chicken breast but my family member reported that it lacked a little flavor in the entire dish. Our martini's were very well made and balanced. My favorite was the lavender gin martini that I had. The service was friendly, albeit a little slow. But, it was Christmas so I'm sure they had been busy all night. read more

I've come here a few times and it's a solid place to eat downtown! I've come for happy hour and regular dinner time and have enjoyed the food each time. The drinks I feel are poured strong, so that's nice too! My favorite thing to order is the schnitzel strips. They're lightly fried and cooked to perfection. I ordered the Caesar salad last time I went and didn't love it. Not a lot of dressing and the tomatoes threw me off (wasn't expecting that in a Caesar). I've never sat inside, always outside but it's nice, there's a cover so it's not like the sun is hitting you directly. read more

A truly special place. The plates are very creative, yet still fulfilling. We come here every time we're in Key West. The chef has an interesting background and has come up with a great menu. And, pricing is quite fair given its location and quality. read more

We had a very nice meal tonight The tuna takia, black grouper cakes, and the scallops Florentino were all very good. The apple struddle was a great end to the meal. Drinks were very good. The problem was my date and I wanted to have a casual drink before ordering. The sever came back several times asking if we were ready to order. We said when we are done with the drinks we will order. He came back and said if you you are not going to order food you must move to the bar. We said when we are ready we will order. I was not happy with the comment. There were no other people coming in. Later I asked him if we spent enough money for him. He was very apolitical for the comment saying it came from the manager. By the way we spent $136.00 tonight at Martins. read more

Food is exceptional! The meat quality is excellent! Great service with well informed servers.. The place look nice and sophisticated! Highly recommended! read more

This is my second time here in a week. Key West! The staff is exceptional! The bartenders know their craft, and are easy on the eyes. A deadly combination for customer service and a wine list. The location is prime on Duval, and the weather is perfect! With a garden setting, low lighting and kitchen with an experienced chef, what else can you ask for on vacation. Sarah & Vivian make this place glow! It's the place to unwind and relax after a long day of sunshine and day drinking Solo or with a partner. I had the grilled lamb chops, and indulge in the Lamb Osso Bucco with a Burgundy Wine Sauce. I had to closing the night off with a few drinks to say the least. -For dessert I'm ending it with a signature Key Lime Crème Brûlée. read more

Delightful place to dine. We are at the bar where Sarah served us. She has such a beautiful smile. We shared a caprese salad, grouper entree and asparagus. Delicious.

The service was good as was the location. But the food was not. The Jaeger Schnitzel was bland and tasted like it was fried it old grease. The sauce was like warm at best. The poke didn't seem fresh. The apple strudel was all dough and no apples. It was like dough stuffed with stuffing. Luckily the offered to take it off the bill. Check out the photo. Do not recommend. Even what was fine was just fine. read more

So this will be a mixed review. We chose the restaurant because they advertised Beef Wellington on the front door. My husband loves beef Wellington. So made a reservation. Our server was a nice young man with an accent. Our server told us about the specials. One being Beef Wellington. He said it was cooked rare to mid rare. When we ordered husband asked to have it cooked more med to med well. Server said it couldn't be done. It would burn the puff pastry. I know it can be done without burning the pastry because that's how I make it at home. So husband was put off. He ordered a 7oz Filet med well with Rosemary Potatoes. I got the Yellowtail Snapper Special with a Crab Cake and Asparagus. We both got Caesar Salad. I really liked the Yellowtail and crab cake. The Asparagus was well cooked ( not over cooked ). Husband's Filet was very well done which I thought tasted great but he was disappointed. The rosemary potatoes we both agreed had way too much rosemary. On Yelp I saw a Chocolate Torte listed on a menu. When he told us the dessert he didn't mention the tort. So I asked. He said oh yes we do have that, and asked if that's what we really wanted. When the "Tort" came out it was chocolate ganache on a plate in the shape of a heart. The plate was dusted with icing sugar and raspberry sauce and half a strawberry. This was $9.50 and this was not a tort. The service was super casual ( slow drawn out ). The bill did not reflect what we thought was the taste and quality of the meal. With Tip and I did still generously was close to $200. We have had some fabulous fantastic meals before that were worthy of the price point... this was not. read more

Been coming to this establishment for years and waited in line for the happy hour which we've done for years. A pack of 12 people were in front of us and as a party of three 1) we were embarrassed and had to call out we were not with them and 2) a bald "gentleman" and a woman with long hair called out (loudly) sorry we cannot let someone in with a tank top. My spouse and I have been there before AND the party of 12 had women in similar "less dress". Disappointed where this place has slipped, won't be coming back and be sure to let others also know this is how you treat people. Love your food, how you treat people... not so much. If this is truly your policy, you should make sure it is clear on your website as when we checked as of 26 November 2024 was not the case. Wish I could give you negative stars since we made a special effort to come see you. read more

The lamb chop appetizer is one of the best we've ever had in the nation. Service was excellent, high-quality food.

Chris and I came here for the happy hour and tapas. The restaurant is elegant with a gorgeous indoor dining area and a shady outdoor terrace. Initially we were not sure that we could dine here because we were in shorts and t-shirts due to the hot weather and intense sun. Upon entering we immediately saw that everyone else was casually dressed and we were welcomed in by the friendly host. We arrived on Thursday evening at 4pm for the start of the happy hour. We dined on the terrace and it has sail shades which provide the shade. Large pillar fans were also on the terrace. Chris and I ordered the schnitzel, the mixed salad with strawberries, mango and bleu cheese with a balsamic vinaigrette. We also ordered the crab cakes plus an order of the baked Brie served with greens, a split pear and with a fig compote and rosemary bread. The cocktails are priced at $6.25 during happy hour which is essentially half priced. We ordered the key lime martinis plus the Sauvignon Blanc wine. The food and drinks exceeded our expectations. The portions were generous enough that we skipped dinner. We enjoyed grazing on the food and sipping our drinks and making friends with adjacent patrons. It was truly fun to strike up conversations with the patrons on either side of our table and we enjoyed hanging out with them the duration of our visit. Total bill with tip was $92 and a great value!! Our server was friendly and efficient. We LOVE this place!! read more

Azure and I landed in Key West after a 4 hour flight delay, tossed our bags in the hotel and headed down Duval for a drink. We saw Martins and decided it was the perfect place to stop. Vivian greeted us at the bar with a smile and asked what we would like to drink. Azure had a glass of wine and I ordered a Coors. Martins does not have Coors, so Vivian suggested a great alternative. She was great! She told us she would be serving the following night and suggested we come in for dinner. We are so glad we did! The food was delicious and the service matched! The next time we are in Key West Martins will be our first stop! read more

Well I am happy we went to dinner here though it was not our first choice, but we opted out of another place when we did not like the appearance of it. Sometime place embellish their establishments photos. Martin's food was very good and service was very good too. As you are aware in the Keys humidity is a huge factor some days, and when this happens, it is nice to have cloth tablecloth, or at least cocktail napkins under your drinks so when you take a drink, it does not leave your clothes soaking wet. There were three of us we sat on the bar side, which from an ambience standpoint is the better spot to sit. The other side has the cloth tablecloths and is a closed room with air conditioning. The bar side has the patio doors wide open, yet over the entryway, which is open, there is an air curtain, which is running for some unknown reason. If you're going use an air curtain it should only be run if that's the only entrance that's open, and secondly, it should fit the entranceway. This one does not however, it falls short. Really my review here is if you want great food and great service. This is a great place. The rest of my review is meant merely to identify a few tweaks to make them 5 star worthy. The place definitely could use a little updating. God is in the details. We plan on dining here again, so hope to give that 5th star read more

Excellent food and passionate, knowledgeable service. From the rustic country pate, to the baked brie starter, steaks, fresh fish, and more they didn't miss a beat. And there just aren't a lot of spots on the island where everyone can find something they love. You can taste the love and the craft in each dish. Don't miss Martin's on your next trip to Key West. We can't wait to return. read more

I was in Key West just three nights I went to Martin's on the first night and had the lobster bisque which was super delicious and then I had the seafood pasta that I would go back to Key West for. Then my third night I went back and I had the Wagyu cheeseburger. Oh my goodness it was so delicious. I would absolutely suggest you try it. read more

My wife and I recently dined at this Key West Restaurant and found it to be more than worthy for five stars! We had traveled all day and were their last customer for the evening. We were treated like royalty. The service was polite, efficient and was equal to any Michelin star restaurant. Ambiance was soft and romantic. Food was incredibly delicious! We ordered a bunch of small dishes and almost licked the plates. The chef here knows how to cook. We highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Great restaurant with a beautiful back patio...that they wouldn't let us sit in! Ugh. I'm a business owner and every problem has a solution! We would have waited for a premier table but we were told we would have to sit inside! I stated our case but the young hostess couldn't oblige with a solution. We didn't make Key West our anniversary trip to sit inside...when there were obviously available tables. Please instruct your hostess to think of solutions for every problem. Food was good and service was spectacular by Vivian. read more

I've been there before and generally pleased. But on Tuesday night, while entertaining an out-of-town guest, I was really disappointed. One of the dishes we ordered was the Scallops Florentine. You could smell the problem before you even got close. The waiter had to know! The scallops had clearly "gone off". We were short of time , so we didn't want to make a fuss, but, frankly, it was terrible. Martin's brags about its owner's culinary skills, but he must have been on vacation that night. read more

Sehr gut, danke Martin! Amazing food that will have a lasting impression and the service was top notch. They know the menu well and describe the dishes to detail.

I highly recommend closing out your meal with their apple strudel, it's a dessert I'll never forget. read more

We arrived in time for happy hour, and we're given the happy hour menu, but by the time the bartender walked over to ask us what we wanted, they said it was 5 o'clock and are unable to serve items off the happy menu. I said to the bartender that it literally was 5 o'clock and they're happy hour runs between 4 and 5 PM, but that did not make a difference. The drinks were just OK, but the food was the real star. read more
