My recent visit to this restaurant was a complete disaster. The food was abysmal; I suspect the lobster came from CVS. They have hiding fees and The level of bad service at this restaurant was truly astounding. !!!! When we are having our dinner, the thunderstorm rolled in, instead of calmly managing the situation, our server seemed utterly flustered. She rushed to tell us we had to move inside, which we understood. However, the shock came when she claimed there was no space indoors, not evening extra seatings (with no table) for 3 people! As we reluctantly took matters into our own hands and opened the door get in ourselves, our server left my elderly parents stranded Onb the back of the door. Her priority? Mopping the floor. It's mind-boggling that she would prioritize cleaning over the comfort and safety of customers, especially elderly ones. When I finally confronted the waiter about this absurdity, pointing out that they should have prepared a spot for my parents before starting their cleaning frenzy, I was met with indifference. There was no acknowledgment of their mistake, no apology, just a blank stare. But the cherry on top of this terrible service sundae was when I checked the bill. Lo and behold, they had added a 20% tip without our consent. It felt like a final insult after the whole ordeal. The bad service wasn't just a one-time slip-up; it was a consistent theme throughout our meal. In summary, the bad service at this restaurant was not just an inconvenience; it was an art form. They managed to turn a thunderstorm into an opportunity to neglect and inconvenience their customers. It's an experience I won't soon forget, and I strongly advise against subjecting yourself to it.love lol read more

Both times we tried to get in there and there were no reservations so we squeezed into the bar. The wine selection is really good. The food choices were really good. We were in a sampling mood both times so we ordered different plates and shared. Pork tacos:really awesome with a twist. 2 to an order. Jenni is not a pork eater. But I think she was going to fight me for my taco. The meat had a rich very flAvorful taste. My mouth is now watering thinking back on it. Not sure how they did it. Awesome. The scallops: equalling awesome. Big meaty. The little crunchy on top ( don't remember what it was. Check menu) gave a great contrast. The sides on plate worked very well. To be point that I noticed how nice the flavors were - very complementary. Their twist of the key like pie. Equally great. The second visit we took advantage of the upstairs bar which allowed us a quicker sitting - but they offered the option to order off the 915 menu. The do lighter meals. The pizza was thin crust. As a thin crust fan I thought they nailed it. On the success of the pork tacos on the first visit - i ventured with the Asian ribs. It looked like a whole slab of baby backs. I was surprised at the portion. The ribs were good. They were a little bitey tangy. As was the slaw that was paired. The first thing we had that did not get the holy cow this is good look. The Asian tangy did not work for us. For the pork or slaw. Not sure why. They are great with the flavors. Bottom line - with a lot of good choices around key west we will be back. It was so good we might break our rule and order something a second time. read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! One would think that this restaurant is SUPPOSED to have horrible service. From our waitor rolling his eyes at us-to over 90 minutes for our food to arrive. It's a small place and he had maybe 2 or 3 tables? We had to ask for our drinks to be ordered-we had to ASK for our food and never once did the waitor check in on us. It gets better.. when we asked for a manager seeking multiple tables served after we sat. We were told "No manager is on staff" yet the lady standing outside by the hostess stand was stating she was the manager. When we explained our frustration and horrible service; clearly the service learned his manners from her. She listened and then started to argue with us... Ummm am I asking too much to have proper or general customer service/ manners? Last I checked-McDonalds greets and much more friendly then this place. If you want horrible over priced food with service-THIS IS THE SPOT TO BE. Oh and if you want to pay with more than 1 method of payment (IE- Credit card and cash to split a bill-they won't do it and refuse to accomdinate). Be sure to have the exact amount of cash as the server won't break a $20 and wants to claim the "left over money for his 20% tip" that he didn't deserve. read more

I stopped by Nine One Five for a pasta dinner during my trip to Key West, and while the food was excellent, the overall experience fell a bit short, solid 3 stars from me. The highlight was definitely the fresh, in-house made pasta. I ordered the Tortelloni de Casa, and the black truffle flavor was rich, savory, and absolutely delicious, definitely the standout of the night. That said, a few things took away from the experience. We had three different servers throughout our one-hour meal, which made the service feel a bit disorganized. The portion sizes were also on the smaller side, especially for the price. We had made a reservation two days in advance but were seated out in the front yard. It was fine, but I think the ambiance would have been much better indoors or upstairs, something to keep in mind if you book ahead. All in all, the food alone makes it worth considering, but between the inconsistent service, small portions, and less-than-ideal seating, there's room for improvement. I'd return for the pasta, but with tempered expectations. read more

This is such a charming spot, perfect for a date night or a meal with friends. What really sold me was the deep-fried whole fish--it was absolutely delicious! The fish was cooked to perfection--crispy, flavorful, and not fishy at all. The sauce on the side complemented it beautifully, cutting through the richness of the fried fish, while the rice was a great addition to balance the slightly salty flavor of the fish. The pasta was also excellent--cooked perfectly al dente, with a sauce that was rich and flavorful. The drinks were fantastic, rounding out the meal nicely. As for the service, it was a bit of a mixed experience. We had three different servers approach us to take our orders, which was a little confusing since we'd already ordered. However, once the food arrived, everything ran smoothly, and we had a great time. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place for its amazing food and lovely atmosphere. read more

By far and away one of the best restaurants in Key West. The food is incredibly well done and very tasty. The location is good, although a bit off the touristy track (good). The house that the restaurant is in is beautiful, old Key West style, fun and funky. To all those who have given less than wonderful reviews. The restaurant itself is relatively small and very popular, you either need a reservation or you need to go early, simple as that, off days (not weekend) are better. The portions are "small" relative to the all you can eat quantity style of other restaurants, personally I like the smaller plates, it means I never leave stuffed, I'm always satisfied and happy. The smaller plates means you can share, if you want more order more. The staff is usually very nice, but like any restaurant when it gets crowded, they get busy. Price-wise, everything in the Key is expensive. read more

Title: Disappointing Service Overshadows a Good Meal I recently dined at Restaurant 9.5 in Key West, and while the food was quite good, my experience was marred by the poor service I received. Our server, Jewels, was unhelpful and dismissive when I brought up an issue with her assistant's rudeness. Instead of addressing my concern, she simply smiled and did not address my issue. This lack of professionalism was shocking and completely unacceptable. It's a shame because the restaurant itself has potential with its delicious menu, but the service left a sour taste in my mouth. If you decide to go, be prepared for the possibility of encountering a staff member who may not prioritize your dining experience. I won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Nine One Five was an absolute gem! We snagged a spot on the upper balcony, first come, first serve and separate from the main outdoor seating, which made for a charming, tucked-away dining experience. I tried the mango drink, which was beautiful and heavy on the champagne, not quite my style, but still enjoyable. What really stood out was the food. The fries were perfectly crispy and served piping hot, the Asian ribs were absolutely epic, and the mussels were hands-down the best I've had in Key West. The octopus portion was small, but every bite was packed with incredible flavor. I'll definitely be back, this place nails the details where it matters most. read more

Manager named Kathy is a Racist. She used this restaurant to call me personally to cancel my reservation at Bagatelle. I don't know why she called me from 915 Restaurant number. I was forced to cancel my reservation. I told her she has a problem with Me because I m Asian and she had no problem with my comment. I was forced to cancel my reservation. What is this 1960's Civil Rights movement where Asians cannot dine at a restaurant managed by a White person? Kathy said I made her staff not to want to serve me. Only person who has a problem with me is you Kathy. read more

came here for a bday dinner and had one of the best experiences in KW after over 2 years! split a bottle of wine to start and had the cheese plate and duck confit, for dinner gnocchi and black grouper, last the chocolate pot... sounds like a lot but at least the portions weren't large. practically licked it all clean! the server was full of info and recommendations, and very friendly/ attentive! Even gave us a round of birthday drinks which was really nice. Great location and nicely decorated. One of my top favs in KW :) read more

This place is worth a trip. We showed up without a reservation on a weekend evening and were asked to leave a cell phone where they could contact us within the hour when a table became available. Went for a drink and within half an hour got the text. Beautiful and elegant tropical house setting with excellent service that stand out from the typical frat-house madness of lover Duval St. By all means have the pork tacos to start with. Superb! This is my go-to place for a civilized dinner in Key West. read more

We really enjoyed this restaurant. Be sure to try the Devils on Horseback- the bacon wrapped stuffed dates. I've been dreaming about them ever since! I ordered the tuna dome as my entree and thought it was fresh and fabulous. Unfortunately you can smoke on the patio, which is never fun for a nonsmoker when trying to enjoy your food. Still high quality food, great service, and also fun to people watch from the outside seating area. read more

I'll never set foot in this place again. My gf and I have the key west passport and came here for an app and to use to bogo drink coupon. When we went to check out the short plump bald, I won't even call him a man, said we can't use it. So we asked for a manager and he said he was the manager went on and told us to get the fuck out and called my gf a fuckin bitch and a few other choice words that I won't say. read more

We ordered the Tuna Dome because we read all the recommendations. It was good. Nothing out of the world but good. She ordered the New York Steak and it was delicious. Yummy, juicy, soft. I ordered the Duck Confit and from 1 to 5 I would give it 2. It was dry, small, skinny. Not a good experience. The restaurant is intimate. Not too noisy, soft music and good service. Am I coming back? I don't think so. read more

$26 for their organic chicken is a bit pricey but not that bad because their food is great. It's an oven roasted french breast with caramelized endive and rosemary demi-glace which is unbelievably flavorful. Everyone should try it out! read more

Good food and decent service. Consistency has been the issue with my experience and is the only thing that keeps me from giving a higher rating. I have eaten there about 5 times. Generally a good place to eat. read more

Been here twice. Had great experiences both time. It is a little pricey, but it's key west. They had a great special one night, and I love their snapper. ​​​​​​ read more
