Love! I've been to Key West... and 3 for 3 times, I've made it a point to stop here for dinner. They take reservations on yelp or on open table or just by calling them. great convenience! French connection. Grey Goose and St Germain. Yummy light cocktail. Moscow mule. Vodka and ginger beer. interesting...... bf never sees this on the menu so when he sees it, he has to get it. lol. for just 2 of us, we got 2 apps, an entree and a side dish. and that was the perfect amount of food! Tuna tartar appetizer. nice, refreshing, citrusy and perfect fresh fish. Filet mignon beef carpaccio. Yum. aways my fave. great flavor and I love the pickled green capers that it comes with. and getting a bite of the cheese, beef and the capers in one bite? perfection. Thai whole fish. entree. My Fave! (You can order 1 whole fish for 2 people. or if you have more, you can get 2 fish. and they come out fried and prettily presented like they are dancing!) great flavor. crispy without being greasy. and the sauce is a great fish dipping sauce. totally viet, and i totally love it, it's americanized enough so the non asians can appreciate the sauce. Duck-fat cooked fingerling potatoes. a bit on the greasy side, but then it WAS cooked in duck fat.... but still good flavor. bf loved them. i loved the basmati rice we got with the fish more... but that's just the viet girl in me, and the european boy in him. :) read more

I can't express how much I love this restaurant. First off, I got married at 915 one month ago. We rented out the entire place for the whole day. It was the most spectacular wedding -- as we were told by guests. [I really don't know why there are some 1 & 2 star reviews...] The owner, Stuart, is one of the kindest people I've ever met. He was so accommodating and took care of all our requests for that night. The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. Our guests could not stop complimenting the food and atmosphere at 915. The bar on the second floor was re-done right before the wedding and looked absolutely beautiful. The restaurant has a chic-laidback style that suits Key West perfectly. The food is 5-stars all the way. All the dishes we've had at 915 were amazing. They also have a great selection of wine. We were amazed at how wonderful everything turned out, thanks to Stuart and his staff. You won't regret going to this restaurant. read more

First time dining here. I brought my wife here for her birthday. The food is excellent and our server Peter was as good as they come. From start to finish we were not disappointed. This is for dinner only and you should make a reservation. We certainly will be back and will add this to our preferred places to dine. read more

Food was a 5, service a 3 for this time around. Server was more than a little rushed, kind of impersonal, and definitely not up to the standard for a $85 per head meal. read more

If I had written this review after my first visit to 915 I probably would have given it a 4/5. But having come back 4 or 5 times over the last few years I can say this is solidly a 5/5 for me. I think the first time I was there we got squeezed in at the last minute, and the specials were already gone for the night. What we had was good, but it could have been better. The following visit to Key West we went back and the menu had some slight changes and ever since this has been one of the must go to places in Key West for us. we've had amazing things here, usually they are one of the nightly specials. The seafood has always been good, so I'm disappointed to see others here have had bad experiences. I think what turned this into a 5/5 for us was the great wine recommendations we've gotten from the staff and the specials we've had. Always interesting and very yummy. One funny recomendation was a bundini malbec. I love malbec's and when I asked the waiter about it he said it was great and the dishwashers love it. Which might sound bad, but the dishwasher at that time was Argentinean and as you might know, there are great malbecs coming out of Argentina the last 7 or 8 years. It is an amazing wine and I ordered a case when I got back from that trip. One item on the regular menu that is to die for is the Thai Style whole fish. I've had this dish at other places and in other countries but the way they do it at 915 is perfect. The first time we got it there the waiter started to tell us about how to attack it, but he quickly realized that this wasn't the first whole fish we had eaten! By the time we were done, we were sucking the good bits off the spine of the fish and not a morsel of anything else left. the head is the best part! I guarantee you, once you've had this fish, sitting out on the porch, in the warm Key weather, you will think you have gone to heaven. Watching any of the many parades from the porch or yard of 915 is a special occasion in Key West. go enjoy, and ask the waiter for a wine recommendation, you won't be sad you did. the food is always interesting and amazing. read more

Excellent service and delicious homemade pasta! The Lobster ravioli and the Kobe beef ragú was amazing. Dessert was spot on, enjoyed the berries bread pudding with gelato. read more

Breakfast on the West Coast in Ontario, CA. Lunch in Dallas, TX, and then dinner here at Nine One Five in Key West, FL. So begins my Floridian gastronomic journey for the week. Dinner hour for me is not usually 10 PM, but that is when it ended up that we found our way here after recommendations from both our cabbie adn the hotel clerk. Surprised they let us sit down at a prime table on their awesome street side patio while we are still holding and drinking our street vendor drinks. How nice. Yes, this is laid back, it's time to relax now. Ahhhhhhhh. Surprised to see so many patrons and so much activity going on, but then again, I don't get out much. An even nicer surprise was the hot Australian waiter that greeted us and took our orders. There sure is something about those accents, you know! I had Atlantic Grouper. Never had grouper before but the seafood fiend in me usually wants the regional whatever that I don't get everyday. I'm with my beef eating friend so I can have a bite of that too and it's enough to satisfy in that area. Yes,, the food is awesome and the atmosphere just can't be topped. It's a balmy evening; I've never been to Florida before let alone Key West and so this was a perfect place to dine to start the experience. Yes, I'd go back. Just tell me when you're ready; my bags are packed! read more

BE WARNED OF THE FLIES On vacation for a holiday weekend we had dinner here with a party of 4. The service and the ambiance were excellent. We started with cocktails and appetizers. We had the truffle fries and the cheese platter. The fries were delicious and the cheese platter while tasty had tiny portions. I ordered the Thai whole fish despite the warnings of a fly attack. Believe them! The flies attacked us. This was a great way to start my key west holiday weekend! read more

Nine One Five - New American Near Me - Key West, Florida

My wife and I ate here this evening and we loved it!! It is towards the south side of Duval street and has some great outdoor seating options. I want to give a big shoutout to our waitress, Laura, as she was awesome. Super friendly and very attentive. My wife and I shared the fried calamari, brussel sprouts, and the mongolian ribs as appetizers or "shareable" dishes. The calamari was some of the best I have had, and the meat from the mongolian ribs fell off the bone. For a main course, I got the cheesburger and cone of fries, while my wife got the organic chicken. The cheeseburger was cooked perfectly at the medium rare requested and it came with carmelized onions and manchego cheese that accented the burger perfectly. If we had any room for dessert, which we did not, I would have wanted to try the bread pudding. Maybe next time..... read more

We came with some friends for their anniversary dinner. We stopped by the restaurant two days prior and made a 7:30 reservations and selected a table that they wanted. When we showed up for the dinner reservations the manager said she just promised someone that table 30 minutes prior to our arrival for an 8:00 dinner. She said there is nothing she can do. She did not honor her hostess reservation. She was very rude to our friends. Been coming to Key West for 12 years and this is the first bad experience. There are plenty of amazing restaurants in Key West. I would avoid dining here. read more

We had reservations for a special anniversary dinner with friends. Upon arrival, we were shown to a different table than the one we personally chose two days prior. The manager was extremely rude and unapologetic for giving our table to another party 30 minutes prior to our reservation time. She said no one but herself could reserve specific tables and she would not honor our reservation. After a lengthy conversation, we chose to take our party to a pizza place. Thank you for ruining our plans and putting a sour spin on a very special evening. read more

Nine One Five is excellent every time we go. The drinks are amazing and the food is outstanding. I can't wait to go back. It's a must when we are in Key West read more

Reallllly good food! We shared about 5 appetizers and two meals between 4 of us. It was so much food! Get the bacon wrapped dates. They were amazing. Went for my 51st bday and sat up on the porch. It was a perfect dinner! read more

Much like the review here from Katie G., which I totally agree with I must offer my ideas. First let me say I've been wanting to try this place for sometime but it has always been difficult to get a reservation. This evening my lovely lady and I were able to make the scene. Reservations were secured but not specified inside or out. The outside is porch side a location that one would imagine falling away from the building with a lean that made sitting level all but impossible. Aside from the lean to starboard the space as many on this busy street could have benefitted from a broom, pressure wash, wet rag and a coat of paint. So okay no big deal, leaning, on a dirty porch in sweltering heat, with the only moving air coming from a dusty overhead fan, this is nothing Ameal is not used to. However when the wait staff arrived I was only thirsty enough to request a liter of iced water my beautiful lady ordered her usual fancy martini! The only thing interesting seemed to be that the combination of the heat, the lean and the wait spoiled our appetites. Water an tee-knee arrived and I knew at first sip my sweetheart was disappointed, the famous cranberry/ginger recommended martini had the ginger, and we could see the cranberries but seems to be very light on the vodka...the last sip which was the second sip proved this observation to be correct...we did however have the experience of paying the $15 dollars for mediocre drink...haha we've done that too many times before! The food...at this point suddenly not being that hungry we decided to try a few menu items, first the whatever they call them bacon wrapped dates, made and reheated under a broiler were extra crispy, okay but nothing spectacular as the price might have suggested. We wanted to compare Ameals favorite dish, the beef carpaccio which I've eaten many times in 4 continents. This by far was the worst representation of beef carpaccio I've ever seen, smelt or tasted, we were so shocked we did not even take a photo as evidence of our astonishment. If you don't like a dirty waiters thumb shoved under a heap of arugula (to the edge of the plate) no doubt massaging the thin beef hiding underneath; then don't order this dish, if you don't like arugula enough for four salads; don't order this dish, if you like to munch dry greens comingled with tasteless mealy leftover beef; try it...order this dish! AND finally if for 20 bucks you are expecting more beef than would cover the center of a small plate, I would bet less than an ounce, with nothing other than two tiny crusts of bread, then by all means; order this dish! Lastly we ordered the ceviche which in our limited time at 915 was the only dish which we enjoyed, seemed fresh, great flavor and priced right. In the meantime, all water drained, sweated brows, we waited, and waited, and waited...the waiter showed up as if being attentive desert menu in hand and was greeted to a chorus of "can we please have the check"...well enough said, we were both too tired, too hot and too afraid to order desert. Will Ameal return....doubtful, will Ameal and his lovely sweetheart continue to suggest his clients and guests try 915, don't think so, I will however say we will watch for reports of the new restaurant grand opening in this space as it exists 915 can't possibly survive unless it's on the backs of unsuspecting tourists! read more

I would happily die in a bowl of their crab and corn chowder. WOWW!!! Top that with short rip wontons & grouper. Key West dinner perfection!!!! Sit on the porch, order a bottle of wine and enjoy!!! read more

Standard caveat - everything is more expensive in the Keys, so don't be disappointed when you don't find bargains. We split 4 apps and a side of octopus with chickpea ragout. The clams and chorizo were great, the arugula salad meh, the cauliflower side was yummo, and the gravlox app was very good. Wish we had another chance to go back - next trip. read more

This little bistro-type restaurant and wine bar in an old renovated clapboard Victorian house, owned by a former British chef and club-owner named Stuart Kemp, is one of the nicer places to eat on Duval Street that was recommended by the managers of our B&B. Although there was no room to eat al fresco on the outside porch, the setting in the downstairs dining room was elegant yet unpretentious. Service was excellent and the food was more upscale and innovative than the usual fare you find on the islands. Although it specializes in fresh seafood like most island restaurants, I noticed touches of Asian influence in several dishes on the menu. We started out with an appetizer special of wild smoked Scottish salmon slices on a bed of cream cheese-spread crispy white bread, topped with fried capers and watercress. For entrees, I went with a savory leg of duck confit served over butternut squash puree and sage oil, garnished with tender, semisweet, roasted cipollini onions. The hubby is a meat and potatoes man, so he had the Prime Angus filet mignon topped with a cream-and-brandy green peppercorn sauce that he raved about, watercress salad, and a cone of the crispiest, saltiest, tastiest fries we've ever had, served with aioli and sriracha dipping sauces. Our meals also came with Italian bread, along with dishes of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to dip it in. Several glasses of Argentinian 2011 Las Nencias Malbec Reserve complimented everything nicely. We decided to skip dessert because we wanted to go to the new Duval Street location of Kermit's to try the Key Lime pie (hey - we had to; we were in the Keys), but I'm sure Nine One Five's desserts would have been just as delicious as the rest of our dining experience here. Nine One Five also has a lounge on the top floor of the house called Point 5, which supposedly turns into a party after dinner with music, dancing, and twinkling string lights, so we definitely have to come again on our next visit! read more

One of the best meals we've had in a while! We went for an early dinner and had Lauren as our server. She offered up suggestions that we were already eyeing so we went with her recommendations and they didn't disappoint. The octopus appetizer was the best prepared octopus we have ever had. Slightly crisp on the outside and flaky and tender inside. Delicious! Entrees were the grouper over squid ink fettuccine and the soul mama seafood. Both were perfect! The sauce in the seafood was so good we wanted to drink it all. Seafood was all perfectly prepared and portions were just right sized. Drinks were also a treat as we enjoyed the key west sunset and the island old fashion which was made with rum. I feel like you couldn't go wrong with anything on the menu! We only regret we didn't go earlier in our trip so we could've enjoyed a second meal or tried their lunch offerings as well. Absolutely a place we will recommend to all and revisit when we return! read more

Still my favorite spot in Key West. Food was amazing as always, great service and good drinks. Make reservations long before you travel, it's worth it. read more

My husband and I decided to go here for a nice supper based on their menu options and ambience. It is a really cute old key west style house and they even have a quaint bar upstairs that serves food as well! He got the mutton snapper and I got the filet mignon ravioli. My husband said the snapper was good, but not great. My ravioli left FAR to be desired....it states it comes in a Demi glaze sauce. As another Yelper said, it's a weird orange cream sauce with mushrooms...it was definitely not Demi glaze! I expected my dish to be decadent and rich...sadly it was not. I ended up getting the full order and I ate all of it and was still a little hungry. I normally am the kind of girl that usually gives my husband about half of my meal. Yes, the restaurant is cute...but the food is just average at best. read more

Nine One Five - Full filet mignon ravioli - New American Near Me - Key West, Florida

The service was amazing, we were seated right away and waited on beyond expectation. Food was ok. All in all, a good vibe spot off Duval.

A gem. Creative menu, fresh flavors, and great drinks. The ahi tuna gravlox is a must have. The brightness of the citrus vinaigrette combined with the sharp jalapeños are a perfect pair to celebrate the fresh tuna. The Mediterranean octopus was perfectly charred, and the garbanzo bean salad was reminiscent of Chana masala. read more

Thanks again, Yelp! Beautiful Patio seating. Beet salad- Yum! Grouper with homemade chorizo and Kalamata olives and sundried tomatoes over spinach-AMAZING. The Whole Snapper dish was soooo good, too. To quote the Terminator, "I will be Back" here. Tuna done good but not end all be all other reviews have said. To me, grouper was best thing on menu read more

So, I was recently here for a friends birthday. Located in the heart of Duval street it was easy to find. As we walked up, this looks like an old house with limited seating on the inside and seating out on the deck. We didn't have a reservation but would recommend it as we got very lucky to grab a table on the patio. We ordered scallops, lobster, and a salad to go with two bottles of wine. By any means, this place isn't cheap, but it is soooo worth it. It was just the start of the lobster season so there were no doubts I knew what I was ordering. The food came out fairly quickly and was presented very well. I want to personally say thank you to the chef. That was the best lobster I've ever had in my life! Our server was Laura. This woman deserves a raise! AMAZING service and Laura went above and beyond to make our experience one of kind. If I was to start a restaurant, she is someone I would want on my staff. I will be back again and do yourself a favor and check it out! 5 stars. read more

This was our last dinner here on our trip. I had the lobster ravioli and partner had the ribs. Both dishes were amazing. Ribs fell off the bone they were so tender and the sauce was great on the past. Only down side was I wish there had been a little more pasta. Even though it was raining (typical weather) we had a great time and the server was great, highly recommend. read more

The food here is incredible! Some of the best food I had in the Keys. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, which were amazing. The whole snapper, which was prepared Asian style with rice and veggies and came deep fried. The sauce was unreal, and the fish was cooked perfectly and deboned perfectly. Was truly yummy. The shrimp fettuccine, which came with homemade pasta in a creamy sauce with huge pieces of shrimp. One of the best pasta dishes I've had in a long time! Was delicious, highly recommend ordering this dish. This restaurant doesn't get a full five stars because the service was pretty terrible. We waited a good 15 minutes after sitting down before anyone came up to us for drinks, and then even longer for someone to take our food order. read more

I've been here a few times. Most recently in July 2018 with a group of girls for my bachelorette party. We ordered tons of food from the menu and split it all. The drinks were great and service was top notch. It sounds crazy - but you've got to order the brussel sprouts. They are amazing and one of the things on the menu that always brings us back. I don't eat red meat and they was still plenty of options. Highly recommend this place if you're in Key West. read more

Saw an ad on TV for the restaurant. We saw that they had a cheese plate it looked amazing. What we got was a big Let down. Three almonds, three cherries, cheeses were great but it would of been better if there crackers were not stale. The owner really needs to look at quality control. The TV ad and what you get is false advertising. read more

Nine One Five - Two plates on right were the cheese plate what a joke. Picture on left was the pate tasty, but toast was stale - New American Near Me - Key West, Florida

Get a reservation on the porch and come on the early side of dinner (we were there at 530). Great service (thanks, Aaron!) and recommendations. Definitely try the ahi tuna gravlax- best raw tuna I've ever had, and paper thin. Then get whatever homemade pasta special they have- we got a linguine with hogfish. Delicious. We ended with their bread pudding which was incredible. We didn't order this but the spring pea ravioli and the Thai coconut curry dishes looks amazing. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. We were here last year and couldn't wait to go again when we got back to the Keys this year. There are hundreds of places to eat but this one is by far the best. The calamari is cooked to perfection, the ceviche was fresh and light. For dinner the 3 of us had rosemary encrusted Grouper, Scallops and swordfish. Everything was fabulous! No matter how full you are you have to try dessert...to die for. The outside seating is comfortable, the staff are attentive. The owner walks around and checks on everyone to ensure that we were well taken care of. We will go back again the next time we are in Key West! read more

While the service and the quality of food was good the lobster ravioli was more like a kids meal. I had dinner with my wife and was so hungry when I left that we went to old tavern right down the street. There were 5 pieces of ravioli. I paid more than 30 for it. Such a disappointment read more

Excellent food and service. We sat on the porch which was nice to sit outside in December. A delightful couple at the table next to us was from England. Good chat. read more

My wife and I were in key west to celebrate our anniversary. I went on yelp to look at restaurants, found 915 and thought it sounded like a place we'd enjoy. We enjoyed it so much that we made reservations to come back at a later night in our trip. For appizers we had: the beat salad, fried calamari, shashito peppers, all were delicious. But, the fresh made pasta dishes were my favorite. The first night we split the lobster Ravioli. The ravioli was made perfectly and the sauce was amazingly good. We then had scallops and risotto. The risotto was cheesey and the scallops cooked to perfection. The next time we went we had the tortellini, that was a great dish as well. The pasta is made in home and they know how to cook it and serve it. We then had the 8oz filet, the meat literally melted in our mouth. The service is top notch both times our waiter was pleasant and very friendly. We couldn't say one negative thing about 915, except that we had to leave to go home and can't make another reservation. If you're traveling to key west make 915 a place you go to, you might want to go twice. read more

Less than good. We picked this places because it had a gluten free menu. Unfortunately, when we ordered we found out that some of the items listed on the GF menu were no longer gluten free. The service was slow and they were not very accommodating about adopting the menu items to be gluten free such as leaving the sauce off of a dish. Over all the food was not that good, the service was not that friendly and the gluten free menu was not that gluten free. read more

One of the better meals we had in Key West, for sure. It is pricey, but the service is nice and the food is good. The delicious dish I had was mussels, clams, shrimp and fish in a green curry coconut broth. Those Key West shrimp are something else...probably the best I've ever had. The seafood was succulent and the broth was delicious. It's definitely a plus that they serve it with rice to sop up that broth. Watch out for the lemongrass chunks because those make for an unpleasant suprise when you accidentally eat them. Not that I would know... :P My husband had grouper or something...I tried it but I can't remember because I was too busy enjoying my food. He said it was very well prepared and that the flavor was excellent. Basically we both cleaned our plates. As with most places in Key West, you can sit outside, which, Duval isn't a pretty street to look at, but it's still nice to enjoy the outdoors. I would recommend it for a nice dinner, and unlike Latitudes, you don't have to book a reservation in advance. read more

I wish I could Zero Stars for policy on one person dinning. If you are one person dinning you have to sit in the bar or at the bar. Sad that so many people had suggested this place as I wanted a nice dinner like Spencer's at The Reach Hotel. Heather the bartender was wonderful and the food by all means was really good. I'n working for the next 3 months in Key West and staying at The Reach Hotel. So my choices for nice dinning in the Key West is limited. So Spencer's will be first in the list then some place other than 915. It's sad as I'm sure the policy is because the wait staff wouldn't get a nice TIP. I however tip 30% always to make up for others that don't tip. They definitely don't need my business as their will always be people to eat there but not people who tip 30% . So the big losers are the staff and from what I saw they are great. Anyway if your a party of 2 or more enjoy. read more

During the first day of my trip to Key West, I happened upon this place and hoped to sit down for dinner. After being told they were booked for the entire night, I felt obligated to make a reservation a few days later and see what all the buzz was about. Making that reservation was one of the best food related decisions I made while there. The food was phenomenal. My date and I started off with the chicken wraps and the tuna dome. The chicken wraps were excellent in its own right but the tuna dome, a signature dish of Nine One Five, completely shadowed it. This appetizer alone is enough to warrant going here. For our main courses I got the Gnocchi and she got their special of the day, which was an Alaskan Halibut. Both were superb. Top the spectacular food with a fun selection of wine and you have a recipient for nice night. I did a lot of things while in Key West. Even after doing all the water sports, dining at a number of the restaurants, and enjoying all the sights, Nine One Five still remains one of the key highlights of my trip. I would recommend anyone visiting to make a reservation as soon as possible and experience food on a level of its own. read more

Amazing food and vibe! A must if you're in Key West. Service isn't rushed and I enjoyed the change of pace... usually restaurants want you in and out but this was not the case with Nine One Five. Definitely will be returning read more

I had an amazing experience at nine one five. I would happily recommend this for anyone who travels to key west. We were celebrating my girlfriend's birthday for the weekend and didn't do a lot of pre-planning and were able to get seated early dinner time on Sunday. The menu looked really neat, heavily seafood focused as many in key west. We arrived early-ish and had our choice of indoor or outdoor seating. It was dreary sort of afternoon so we sat indoors. First things first they brought us lightly toasted bread with two delicious rosemary shortbread pieces (waiter called them biscuits but they were round cookie shape) which were beyond tasty. I wanted to get a bunch to take home but didn't. For an app, we had an amazing cheese plate- probably the best cheese plate I've had due to the accoutrements alone. Cheeses were good not great. A Brie, a tasty blue and another unmemorable but good cheese. The plate came with toasted bread, port soaked cherries, Marcona almonds, Florida keys honeycomb, apple slices, balsalmic and a fig jam! Amazing. For entrees I got the chipotle pork tacos - I haven't ever had such a flavorful taco! I don't like seafood so I got a dish I thought wouldn't be too spectacular but I was blown away. Came with cubes of queso fresco which I'd never seen done before. Fun! My boo had lobster ravioli in a lobster fennel broth which she said was good but not out of this world. We shared a dessert - chocolate pot which was literally a chocolate dipping sauce with long shortbread sticks. A delight. Would definitely return if we went to they keys again! read more

Clams/chorizo appetizer was tasty and subtle, I thought it could do with slightly more kick but my wife grabbed the serving bowl and slurped down the broth. We shared the lobster ravioli and whole yellowtail snapper. The combination of the soft, sweet ravioli and crispy, tangy snapper was a delightful contrast of both texture and taste. Pretty sure fish sauce was the ingredient in the Thai chili sauce, but definitely in a "I think that's the extra flavor" way. Slight drawbacks: Rice with snapper was meh and a serving of toasted crostini would have been better than the cold chunk of white bread we received after requesting something to dip into the ravioli sauce. Also appreciated our server: we explained that were a little tired, he kept things moving along. Seems like it could be a really good place for an elaborate anniversary/birthday dinner, but in our case a relatively quick cocktail & appetizer with an entree offered a great bistro experience. read more
