Enjoyable visit here. Recommended by our inn keeper, we stopped in early. It was interesting, and cool, to see the chef came out to sample a new dish with the staff. Later, the owner came out to ask how our meal was. Very laid back environment, comfortable. It appeared to me at least that several locals where drinking and/or dining here. I had roasted beets salad and the slow roasted pork tacos. These are killer tacos - awesome. Squeeze a little lime onto them, add a slice of jalapeño and eat. Delicious! Had a Grolsch lager (love that beer). Be aware the entrees are a bit pricey, from $25 - 35. (Two of us eating, entres and 1 beer each - $80). Many other items on menu looked so tempting. As long as you are ready for the cost, I would recommend a stop here for dinner. read more

Great food. But if you sit by the kitchen, you'll smell the frier go off every few minutes. :/ The service was a little slow - I think they only had 2 servers working and like 5 people busing tables. They could have used more help serving. read more

The best fried fish, whole yellow tail snapper, I have ever let into my mouth. The sauce appears to be a spicy ginger fish sauce base. The aroma is strong and pungent, but the taste buds say so much, "YYYEESSSSS!!! The fish is cooked perfectly, crispy outside crust and moist on the inside. The fish is on a bed of crispy cabbage and is a great refreshing texture. Basmati rice is served on the side and is a perfect compliment to this asian dish. I have already mentioned the sauce and I have to mention it again because it ties all of the fish together. It may smell funky, but the taste is so good. It's like a durian, stinky deliciousness! This is a must try if you are in Key West. read more

After an evening of grazing our way across Old Town in Key West, ended on the second floor balcony of a lovely converted historic home. Full menu on the ground level, tapas on the upper level. Prices are extremely reasonable -- $3 for a heaping pile of prosciutto, $2 for lemon cured olives, $4 for blue cheese, $3 for an order of bread. Romantic and lovely spot. read more

A wonderful dining experience. Had the butternut squash ravioli and also the flash fried artichoke. Both were excellent. A nice group of wines by the glass. Prices were reasonable. Looking forward to a return trip. read more

Stay on the app list and it's a great dinner. Tuna dome. Foie gras pate. Crab soup good but not crabby. A seat on the front porch is a great view as well. read more

Awesome! This has got to be one of the best on the island. The food was good, I had a great glass of black muscat that I'd never had before that was amazing and the atmosphere (once on the inside) was very contemporary with great lighting. I was a little thrown off at first when we walked up to a very different setting (the outer patio area does not reflect the atmosphere on the inside well at all). The outside looks like a country store patio and the inside is very modern with wood floors and abstract prints on the wall. As we were walking up to this restaurant we walked by the very chic-looking "Martin's" which looked pretty cool but we yelped before entering and decided "Nine One Five" would be our choice for the evening and that was definitely a better choice. Highly suggest it. read more

This is a hard reservation to get. But our hotel concierge did what Open Table and our own call could not. A table on the patio with one main server and several helpers kept the delicousness coming. Four of us conspired to cover the table plus a side rack with appetizers. The array included but was not limited to: Devils on Horseback - a chichi name that appealed to our table's ferrier,and referred to soft dates infused with roasted garlic, then wrapped in bacon; Tuna Dome - made with cupped walls of deep pink tuna, which hid a mound of crab meat; Crispy duck - I have No idea where they found these waddling, meaty swimmers - . Dark & succulent; Pork burrito - more aptly named crepe,yet filled to a burst with smokey pork strips in sweet Asian sauce; We saved an entree to share as the finale. Green curried seafood in a broth, teeming with delicate, tiny clams, bright orange mussels, grouper, and Key Westy pink shrimp. Not a drop was left for anyone to rinse. read more

I am so happy to give a full five star review to this restaurant. First the restaurant itself is beautiful whether you are inside or outside. Next the service (at least when we were there) was impeccable. Now to the highlight of the review. The food. Started with the date app and the ceviche. Both were incredible. Next moved to the soul soup and the grouper. Omg the soul soup was exquisite. The grouper was perfectly executed but how do you compare that to the soup... In my palate you don't. Lol. Dessert? Ok!! The coffee chocolate was literally the best dessert I have ever had. My husbands key lime bar was good but average compared to the rest of the meal. All in all hands down the best meal we've had in all of FL. read more

See all

We arrived to Key West late on a Friday evening and were hot and hungry. Not always a great combo when you're looking for a place to eat. But we started scouring Duval Street for a dinner spot. Seeing that Nine One Five was crowded, we figured that was a good sign. All they had for two was a spot at the bar, so we took it. I will say that the bartender wasn't particularly nice at first, but we soon realized that she was just busy. OK, I can handle that. We ordered an awesome bottle of wine to get the party started. A little pricey at $55, but it was really good. We then ordered a tomato duet salad to share. Melt-in-your mouth buffalo mozzarella, tomato and balsamic on one side of the plate; fried-green tomatoes on the other. A great way to start our meal and our trip to Key West. I then ordered the Organic Chicken Breast, which was served with Red Quinoa, Grilled Feta, Heirloom Tomato Confit, Olive Tapenade. Amazing. It didn't seem like much food on the plate but it definitely filled me up. I highly recommend Nine One Five if you're looking for a nicer dinner spot in Key West. read more

Great food. Make reservations! Especially if you want a table outside (which you do!)

I was really excited to try Nine One Five. The wife and I love tapas/small plates style. Nine One Five is located in what appears to be a house with a decent amount of outside seating and a small amount inside. Drinks: the wife thought the Moscow Mule was ok. I really enjoyed their Rose from the Provence region and the Tortoise Creek Pinot Noir from France. Food: Tuna Dome- sashimi tuna, fresh crab, soy sake glaze, lemon miso and avocado. I liked this and it was pretty awesome. Much different perpetration than you'll normally find. The crab was good, but I'm not sure it was needed. The sauce tasted like teriyaki. The tuna was draped over the crab mound. I recommend it, but my wife didn't like it as much, so you have a 50/50 shot of liking it. Ceviche- grouper, Fresno chili, cilantro, lime and tortilla chips. This was good, but what kept it from great is it was really dry. I'm assuming that's how grouper is or it needed more lime juice. The flavors were all there and were delicious! Recommended, especially if you love grouper. Devils on Horseback- bacon wrapped dates, roasted garlic and soy citrus dipping sauce. Dates have become one of our new favorite dishes and Nine One Fives version didn't disappoint. Highly recommended! Beef Carpaccio- arugula, truffle oil and Parmesan reggiano. This was a pretty awesome version. Very well presented. Great addition of truffle oil. Highly recommended! Braised Pork Tacos- orange-chipotle braised pork, avocado salsa and lime creme Fraiche. These were absolutely amazing and one of our favorite dishes of our trip. MUST get! We liked our time at Nine One Five. I would recommend it. They also have a little bar and separate food area upstairs that serves pizzas and other small dishes if interested named Point5. read more

Food was tasty mediocre with pretty plate presentation. Stick with fish dishes not a steak place. Need major help with decor, wait staff and ambience. Good chef is the best selling point. Not recommended for a special date or romance. read more

We popped in for a glass of wine and a light, late-night meal. We ordered small plates to share. The Ahi Tuna Gravlax was amazing--interesting flavors! The wait staff were attentive but unobtrusive. read more

Went to this place when we were down in Key West last month. We really enjoyed it. It was two blocks from our hotel. Casual feeling like every where else in Key West, with a bit of charm as it sits in an old house. The service was good, the food we ordered we really liked, however, the one thing we really wanted they ran out of sadly. (Chipotle & Orange Braised Pork) The Tuna Dome was awesome. Highly recommend. The other things we ordered Beef Carpaccio was ok/good. The sizzling Thia Whole Fish was really good. The flavoring was great. I am not one to do the whole fish, but this was actually very delicious. We really enjoyed our meal here, it was relaxing and romantic, however we weren't blown away. read more

Go for the food, stay for the ambiance. I went to Nine One Five over three days ago and still cannot get the Soul Mama Soup and the Tuna Dome out of my head! One of the few downsides to not being a local is my inability to gorge on this feast on a regular basis. The calamari with lemon aioli was so light and airy that you very well could convince yourself that they are healthy for you. The braised pork tacos were rich with a flavor that bordered on obnoxious (in a good way). Skip the side of artichoke hearts, they were too breaded and the carrot puree is cold. The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and attentive. They even poured two extra glasses of wine by mistake and let us keep them on the house. Make sure when you book a reso to request a table on the veranda downstairs outside. It has a very laid back and romantic vibe, but if you like to people watch it is good for that too! I thought the strategically placed fans were a nice touch as well. Also, just FYI, The veranda upstairs has a different and more limited menu. read more

Nice, cozy, popular, friendly, eclectic, crowded restaurant on Duval. We had several small dishes. My favorite was the seafood soup which had mild fish, shrimp and clams in a coconut, wonderfully creamy coconut tom kha gai-style. The grilled octopus and seated diver scallops were wonderful, as well for a casual, fine dining restaurant that sets it apart from most restaurants on this busy, touristy street. Nice retreat. The osso bucco lacks substance and you'll need to order a salad or side, the beef carpaccio was decent but the arugula topping was a little over-dressed. Asparagus was okay. Service was great and attentive. Pasta was homemade and the tagliatelle was perfect. Outdoor seating outside patio is fun for people watching. Key like pie and pumpkin bread pudding was perfect dessert. Overall, pretty good. read more

Came here on my own tonight and was delighted by the service, attention and the food! Natalie took great care of me and made sure I had anything I needed. My table was cleared regularly, but I wasn't rushed in the least. Absolutely recommend! read more

FINALLY someone who makes espresso martinis exactly how I like them!! I hate when they are loaded with cream. The service was fantastic. We were the annoying people who ordered almost every first and second course on the menu and no entrees and they accommodated us with class. Even though they were all technically the same course, the waiter timed it perfectly so our table wasn't overflowing. The cheese and meat boards are a MUST. The mac and cheese was 'meh' but everything else was fantastic. mmmm I want one of the martini right now! read more

The food was ok, but the menu was deceiving: basically all the dinner menu was comprised of appetizers! So as it turned out they have snacks, medium and large appetizers! But no where it says these dishes are appetizers. So the bottom line is that this place is overpriced taking into account tiny portion sizes. read more

Nine One Five - Aged cheddar appetizer was a joke - New American Near Me - Key West, Florida

Best ahi tuna we've had!!! Cheese plate was great and lobster ravioli was little dry inside but the sauce was soooooooo good that it didn't really matter that much. Nice ambiance and friendly staff as well. read more

Great Key West restaurant that I strongly recommend. Nice ambiance and very good food. Nice service and a touch of British style too! Got the Thai fish: delicious! read more

With a reservation, we were seated almost immediately. Our server was very overwhelmed as he had too many tables, and the result was that the service speed suffered. On the menu, the items are divided by size, but in reality, all the items are very undersized for the extremely overpriced prices. However, the little food that was given was extremely good. (especially the prawns and the peking duck confit). I would recommend Nine One Five for appetizers, but not for a meal. We loved the ambiance and the people watching, but this place should really make it clear upfront that you should come expecting appetizer/tapas sizes. read more

There's a lot of fine dining in Key West- but this is the only one we went to that we truly loved. The best meal we had in Key West, hands down. Phenomenal dishes. Amazing cocktails. Fantastic service. I want to go back to Key West just for another chance to eat here!!! Make sure to check out the cocktail lounge upstairs, too! read more

We had our wedding anniversary dinner here. Great dining experience. Laura our server made the night special. I had the peach salad and Seafood Risotto and my wife had the Roasted Beet Salad and the Soul Mama Seafood soup. All the dishes tasted great and I will make this a regular stop when in Key West. read more

I can't rave enough about our meal tonight! The hostess went out of her way to accommodate our group and to make sure we were happy. The house cocktails were so well made and absolutely delicious (I recommend the moneypenny.) We had a variety of meals at the table and everyone was absolutely thrilled with their meals. From the burgers to the paella; this was one of the best meals I have had in years! A little pricey, but the calibre made it worth it. And the music is on point! I recommend this VERY highly. read more

Nine One Five - The Roasted Chicken was absolutely fantastic. Order it!! - New American Near Me - Key West, Florida

Don't be fooled by the fabulous atmosphere, which is fabulous. The food- C-. Small portions. Grouper ceviche mostly had Chinese sprinkles of over fried crunch. Beet salad was underwhelming, and the fried snapper had a sauce that was far to pungent and served jalapeños that ruined the sensitivity of the snapper. read more

If you do this restaurant right, it will be one of the best meals of your life. It's a tapas place- so order a lot and share! We went in a big group and all picked a plate and then passed them around when they came... Then we repeated the process three times. Some of our favorites: beef carpaccio, pork tacos, butternut squash, grilled octopus, homemade pasta, salmon, Szechuan asparagus, clams and chorizo.... Really every bite seemed to be a new favorite! The care that went into every dish was so apparent- we were totally blown away. To those who said the waiter criticized them for ordering incorrectly.... The waiter was right!! Listen to the wait staff-- they are SO helpful and knowledgeable and they provide an unforgettable dining experience if you do it the way it's meant to be done. Nine One Five is going onto my top ten meals of all time. read more

popped in for dinner around 9:30 pm.. they were packed. Made room for us up at the bar. Georgia took care of us. What a great woman.. Big fans of her personality and the extra time she took suggesting our menu items. Food was fantastic. wine was great.. very nice people.. I'd recommend making reservations as the are busy and I think we were lucky to get seated right at way read more

Food was just OK, but service was bad from the start and just got worse. We made our reservation for 2 people weeks before coming to Key West and got to the restaurant about 10 minutes ahead of time. We made it clear when we made the reservation that we wanted indoor seating and a standard height table with chairs having a chair back (I have a bad back). The first thing the hostess wanted to do is put us at a bar-height table with backless bar stools outside on a porch next to another bar/restaurant blasting super super super-loud music (that is where they put parties-of-two). The hostess was pleasant (and initially seemed confused) but told us that to get an indoor table, we would have an inordinately long wait because they did not have any tables available. After making our displeasure known (by mentioning the word "Yelp", we were seated in just a couple of minutes. As we began to be waited on by our server, we saw workers assembling several tables suitable for two to four people into a large table for a very large party (which explains the reason for the lack of tables for a party-of-two). When we cordially pointed this out, the hostess indicated the large party "had a reservation". At that time we pointed out that we also "had a reservation" and that it was made a long time ago. The situation made us feel almost unwelcome as a party of just two people. The food seemed to take longer than it should have (but to be fair the restaurant was busy). I'm not sure the food was anything worth writing home about, but it was OK. Not sure it was worth the wait or frustration. Service was extended as it turns out our server was also serving the large group where the tables had been assembled, so our service suffered as a result. I guess the tips on a table for 8 to 12 is much more than that of a table for two. The big drawback was the loud music coming from an adjoining venue (something I do not think the restaurant is able to solve as they do not control that venue) and the lack of parking. Even if you are lucky enough to find parking, the city controls almost all of it at a whopping $5.00/hr. If your lucky enough to have a handicap placard or license plate and can find a city controlled parking space, I am told your parking is free (it worked for me). Handicap marked parking spaces otherwise are few and far between, and they stay vacant for less than a nanosecond, about the same amount of time you can expect to be given by a hostess or server if your a party-of-two. read more

Very accommodating staff, friendly and attentive. Food was great, portions on smaller side for price. Unfortunately the issue is the location on Duval, get reservations inside read more

Absolutely phenomenal food and excellent service. Stefan was our waiter and he was so friendly, informative, and helpful. We had a few starters (shisito peppers, Brussels sprouts, and the peach salad) and all were delicious. Our entrees were the tortelloni and the butternut squash ravioli and we ate every bite--so so good. This was our first time here and we loved it. We will be back during our next trip for sure! read more

So I finally decided to try Nine One Five. I've been there twice so far. The first time started out ok, the host asked if we had a reservation and when we said no, she almost seemed annoyed and said "we'll we don't have anything available" right now, "unless you wanna sit upstairs in the lounge". Change that up a little bit to make your customers feel more welcome. I understand availability is a hurdle and I understand walk ins may have to wait. Next time say something like "hello welcome, are you here for a reservation? No, ok well guess what, we do have seating in our lounge upstairs. Will you like to join us up there?" Just like that an availability issue is not an issue at all! I would have felt welcome and like I wasn't an imposition to you because I didn't have a reservation. Just a tip. Once upstairs, we had an excellent server who gave us great recommendations and even validated our choices making us feel like we had chosen the right place. The food was delicious, we were a party of four and each of us had something different. I had the butternut squash ravioli and I would have it again in a heart beat! Please just give us a little bit more lol. read more

Had the lobster raviolis, and a few too many margaritas lol. The raviolis were amazing, my fav! Now the margaritas on the other hand....well they weren't anything to call home to momma about but I was on a mission to get drunk. The outside patio seating was perfect, went on a date there at night time and it had a perfect romantic feel to it. read more

We had heard from friends in Key West how good this restaurant was. Made a last minute reservation and was Seated inside. This and the somewhat small menu put us off at first. Couldn't understand how Lamb Shanks could cost $45 a plate. We ordered the Thai whole fish,seared black grouper with lentils and The organic chicken. Good choice of wines by the glass And good service. Service could have been improved if the waitress did not Depend on the bussers so much. But, this is not a complaint. Food was super. Fresh, cooked perfect Lettuce in the salad , small whole leaves, lightly tossed, just the way I like it. Dessert excellant. Very enjoyable experience. read more

$30 for 3 scallops! OUCH! Small portions for big bucks.. read more

Nine One Five is a tried and true Key West must for diners who are seeking a little class with their human zoo view on Duval Street. The roasted butternut squash (below) with ginger, tomatoes and yoghurt is rich and satisfying. The tortelloni de casa with pancetta and roasted picatta is a masterpiece of flavors and the filet mignon ravioli with mushroom demiglace is exceptional. A half-order is plenty if you're not a cruise ship buffet aficionado, and the service and ambience are worth the price. I love the front porch on a breezy summer night, and patrons are often locals, boding especially well in Key West where a trip to Duval might become a tedious affair. read more

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

ROACH! Not sure how to give a restaurant a star rating after what happened. The place is lovely and the service was very friendly. The food was delicious until I got to the bottom of my dish and discovered the small cockroach. Yes, cockroach cooked in my Bolognese. The server acted swiftly and comped our meal. He apologized profusely but also said "hey unfortunately these things happen". He also said he inspected the bug and it was a moth not a roach. I've lived in Florida my whole life (36 years), I know a cockroach when I see one belly up. Pretty gross... but hey apparently these things happen. read more

Cool vibe and excellent food. Had the beet salad, grilled octopus and mutton snapper all excellent and would highly recommend. Suzette, at the bar, was very attentive and helpful with suggestions. Really great evening. read more

I would not return to 915. I didn't even think their signature tuna dome was good. I was shocked that people rave about how good it is to be honest! The service was the big let down here and really just mediocre, if that. We ordered an Artisan cheese platter to start and it was dropped off with no explanation of the cheeses! There were four and they weren't listed on the menu. I could make out stinky, creamy, & hard all by myself but it would have been nice to know what they were. I told my waiter it would have been nice to know when they were delivered but he honestly didn't seem to care, though he did tell me about them then but the plate was long gone. The yellowtail snapper was really good but that's all I have to say about it. It is served whole but there was no explanation how to filet it or how to eat it. I didn't like that either. We picked and muddled through it but it wouldn't have hurt to tell us the best way to dig in! There was plain basmati rice served with it and some awful tasting dipping sauce. The table seated beside us said their steak frites were delicious and they did look really good! However, they too said the service was not up to par. The one thing I noticed in Key West was that everywhere I went in the fine dining establishments, service was superb! Actually service was awesome in the non-fining dining places too! Not here though. When I spend money for fine dining, I expect service to be great too, so that's why I wouldn't return. Well, the food was just a small touch above average too - nothing to write home about! There are too many other places in Key West that have both great food AND great service! read more
