This is my absolute favorite restaurant on the island! The ambiance and the service are both amazing but it is the food that keeps me coming back and recommending it to everyone I can. Be sure to try the lobster pizza and lobster biscuits. They will not disappoint! read more

Great atmosphere and food! we had friendly staff, yummy coconut shrimp and great drinks!

We decided to go to Key West for a day and this was the first restaurant we hit because I was captivated by "lobster pizza". Let me tell you, it is DELICIOUS. When we got here they told us 20 minutes to be seated. Lucky for us we were seated in 3 minutes. We were sat outside and our server came to serve us quickly. I ended up getting the Key Lime Pie frozen drink. It was ok. Next time I will probably get a regular cocktail. Pizza however was fantastic! We got a cheese pie for the kids and got the lobster pizza for ourselves. They were medium sized and between the four of us we ate it all! Lobster pizza was devoured first. My son loved the lobster pizza. Right when we were leaving the restaurant we were stopped by a gentleman named Michael. He ended up being the owner and gave the kids some lollipops as a dessert. Honestly cherry on top. It is always great to see the owner and have him greet you as a guest. Almost makes you feel as if you were invited to someone's home. Just for that our family will be back. I also want to try other pizzas ;) read more

The BEST coconut shrimp in Key West! We went for lunch on Monday and it was so delicious that we went back for dinner on Tuesday. Chelsea was our bartender and she made seriously good frozen piña coladas with dark rum floaters. after you eat, be sure to take a tour and learn the history of the beautiful Mansion! read more

The food here is great. The staff is friendly and the place is clean. Bring your appetite, these servings are huge.

Let's just say their gluten free lobster pizza was top 3 best pizzas I've EVER, EVER had. Their key lime cola was kinda lacking in flavor but I'm still giving 5 starts because their pizza was that good. Their host in the front wasn't very friendly but I'm still giving 5 stars because their pizza was that good. It's right beside the water so you can enjoy your water view while "experiencing" ooegy gooey cheese pizza with lobster chucks that melt in your mouth and have your taste buds twerking. Yes, I said twerking. Our server was nice but I'm going to be honest... the only memorable thing was the lobster pizza and it's a memory you'll want to have. read more

Located right next door to the Southernmost Resort, where we were staying, this spot touts itself for it's "World Famous Lobster Pizza" and the closest to Cuba, Mojitos that you can drink. Well we had to stop and boy were we glad we did. Both were delicious. The combination of the lobster with cream sauce, fontina, garlic puree and fresh parsley, worked perfectly on the pizza. Also the mojitos were some of the best we ever tried. Loved that they were served with an old fashioned, sugar, swizzle stick. Not to mention the view toward Cuba was amazing. The only bad thing about this visit was that it was our last stop in Key West before heading home. Great spot, highly recommend. read more

Been wanting to come here since they opened. We finally made the walk down. We were seated promptly. Of course you gotta order the lobster pizza based on reviews. Got the pizza & ahi tuna salad. Pizza came & was very underwhelming. Nice and crispy on the edge but the middle was mush. Salad looked great but was drenched with dressing & I couldn't finish it. Our waiter was a little pushy with trying to sell us more drinks we didn't want, do you want truffle fries? No Andre I didn't ask for truffle fries. Were asked twice if we wanted the pie & wonderful commentary about how great it was. I order what I want & do not care to be up sold or order items I didn't ask for. Really wanted to enjoy this place but wasn't a great stop for us. read more

Great view, nice cool breeze coming off of the ocean while you eat. The pizza was delicious! The lobster pizza had a nice garlic taste to it which made it even better. Thin and crispy, it was perfect. The conch fritters were delicious as well. They came with a key lime type sauce which paired very well with the fritter. Service was quick and very pleasant. read more

The best Pizza period. The reviews did not do it justice. The lobster pizza is simply amazing. You are seated outside by a hostess and waited on by waitstaff but this amazing pizza comes out of a food truck. This is a must try place. We went back the next day to order the same thing. But at prime times be prepared to wait for a table. read more

Not impressed at all . Their Lobster Pizza was greasy and did not sit well . I have to add that we are from New Haven ,CT arguably the Pizza Capital of the US and hold Apizza to a high bar. The Waitress was mailing it in as well , not attentive and had no personality. She spent a lot of time at another table where they all spoke the same language and basically dropped off food at our table . There were some very personable guys serving though. That said the Coconut Fried Shrimp with Pina Colada Sauce was great . read more

Seaside Cafe - Best MOJITOS!!!!! - Pizza Near Me - Key West, Florida

First time in the keys, First time at the cafe and 22nd Anniversary. Mike ( Proprietor) runs a real classy operation, He reminded me of where I grew up in New Jersey, My neighbors were Italianos and we loved to eat at their house cause Mama Rosa, made the best everything Italiano!!!! Jason, our server hit it out of the park!!!, this guy was attentive, courteous, caring and knew his menu like the back of his hand. The chefs ( Not cooks, cause these guys are artists! ) presented our meal in a manner that pleased all the senses.. Sight, taste, looks... and I thought I heard it say " Mangia! " Seriously though, I highly recommend This landmark establishment and restaurante Italiano.. Thanks Mike, First time trying Key lime pie, always thought " Don't like limes, Eh? ) well Mike changed my mind - but he also spoiled me with their recipe, it's now the bar that all others must overcome Thanks guys for a wonderful 22 wedding anniversary!!! read more

Lobster was very fishy. Mojito was pure alcohol. Not a great day for this place. Gross!

Great atmosphere! Right next to the ocean with great view. My wife and I split the lobster biscuits with salad and it was SOOOO good!! The service was awesome and very prompt! Don't miss this hidden spot in Key West! read more

Food truck with full service seating and great drinks on a patio next to the sea! We had great food and such good service here today for lunch. We definitely ordered too much for two of us as the ahi salad is huge and the pizza is super filling. They were both delicious though and I'd highly recommend both. I really appreciated that they let us move tables when one by the ocean opened up since the back tables were not getting as much breeze and umbrellas weren't opened at first since their had been strong intermittent breeze from the ocean. The restroom situation is interesting as it's around the corner and down a tiny alley but were clean and perfectly nice. Give this place a visit! read more

Wonderful location can't get any closer to the water! Great staff , service was excellent. We had the lobster pizza, phenomenal, the lobster salad biscuits with the jalapeño honey was to die, truffle fries with basil alioli was a serving for two and we could've had two orders. It was that good. last but not least the poke cups served in a plantain were out of this world! The mixed drinks were excellent. We had Mojito's margaritas and a Tito's vodka special drink. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back whenever we're in Key West loved it! read more

BEST. MEAL. I. ATE. IN. KEY WEST. If i could give this place 10 stars, i would. Wild statement. I know but the fact I didn't even take very many pictures of my dinner is proof it was that good. We had the World Famous Lobster pizza and the hot honey salami pizza.... Both very unique, fresh and honestly i couldn't get enough of both. The lobster pizza is just as good as everyone hyped it up to be. The key lime pie with the piña colada sauce... If you haven't had this already, i urge you to run, not walk and get you some pie! SO much yum. Plus, the manager/ guy running this place is an absolute snack himself and appears to run a tight ship. The views? You can't beat them. Love this place, love the vibe, love the food. GO! read more

This place looked nothing like what is posted in these other reviews. Location - good location but they do not take advantage from it. The upper bar area looked okay but where we sat nearer the water it was filthy, unorganized and showed no pride in presentation. Trash on the ground, rusted umbrella stands, just all pretty ugly. (I hope I am able to post some pictures) Food - We had the "Highly Rated" lobster pizza. It was very greasy and the lobster tasted like salty canned product. Bad enough that my wife scrapped it off and just east a little bit of the greasy cheese. Drinks - I had a beer because that would be hard to screw up. My wife ordered a Manhattan. You would think that would be a pretty straight forward easy cocktail to make but no, they couldn't even get that right. She only drank half of it before we decided to just leave. Overall, it was the worst experience of our entire trip. There are so many good places. I'm not sure how this one stays in business. The positive posts, wow! Not at all what I experienced. read more

Seaside Cafe at the Mansion was my favorite spot on our recent vacation to Key West. Beach view, wonderful service, fantastic food and cocktails- it hit all of the marks for me. First of all, the view is lovely. We had a view of the ocean in front of us and the historic, gorgeous mansion behind us. I would love to stay in that mansion next time. They are known for their mojitios and margaritas so we had one of each. I prefer a skinny marg as I love tequila and don't like a lot of mix. Skinny margarita was on point and so was the Mojito. The lobster pizza is a signature dish and it is now one of my favorite dishes of all time. If you love a light, crispy pizza and you love lobster (and who doesn't?) you need this in your life. It was absolutely delicious. We also had the conch fritters and they were prepared more flatten instead of traditional ball form which made the texture better in my opinion. We met the owner, Michael who said it is his son's recipe. Michael is such a personable and fun guy. He gave us a little tour of the mansion with interesting historic details. I can tell he loves what he does. Seaside Cafe at The Mansion is a must if you go to Key West. read more

We really enjoyed our meal here. The location is great -- would recommend walking since parking is difficult/limited. We got a table next to the water and loved the views. In particular we were surprised (but maybe we shouldn't have been?) at the lobster wood-fired pizza and LOVED it. We kept talking about the lobster pizza even for days afterwards. They also had excellent drink options and we particularly liked the mojitos. All in all an excellent time. read more

One of the best spots to watch the sunset at Key west while having a drink! We came and had a snack and some world famous mojitos. The mojitos were great and did come with rock candy, with tons of fresh mint. We ordered the caprese sandwich and it was actually so fresh and tasty- I would come back just for that. The service was quick and the prices were fair! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! my family traveled here from north carolina and would come back again just for this place! the pizza was amazing (our favorite was the hot honey) and the key lime pie for dessert was to die for! by far the best key lime pie on the island. not to mention the views are amazing (you couldn't eat closer to the water if you tried). the service was quick and friendly-- the owner even came over to talk to us and gave us a tour of the boutique hotel next door. this is a must try on the island! read more

Seaside Cafe - The Seaside Café Signature Pizza - Lobster Bianca, Hot Honey Salami pizza, corn pizza, Parmesan Truffle Fries - Pizza Near Me - Key West, Florida

Based on the positive reviews, we stopped for an early dinner at the Seaside Cafe. We had also passed by previously and noted the cute, beachy location on the water. It wasn't so much a restaurant as a food-truck-like structure surrounded by tables and chairs on the sand. The city rules appear to be different for this particular setup; when we were there they were required close at 7 pm (it appears this has since changed to 8 pm). A popular place! Despite the early hour, we had to wait 20 min for a table to free up (no reservations here); the friendly manager chatted with us about the menu, and I was able to grab a cocktail at the outdoor bar of the mansion hotel (which seems to be teamed up with the cafe). My Mai Tai was fine but nothing special. (3*) Food: -- Coconut shrimp app ($14 for five pieces) The first one was fabulous; but by the third one I was getting burned-out by the rich, sweet breading. And the breading-to-shrimp ratio was just too high for me. 3* -- Honey-butter lobster biscuit sandwich ($21): Lobster salad served on two sliced "Tennessee biscuits". The biscuits themselves were phenomenal: fresh baked and oh so buttery and flakey. The downside was that their strong flavor completely overpowered the lobster within (I couldn't really taste it). For the price I would have appreciated a better flavor balance of filling-to-biscuit. 4* My wife and daughters ordered pizzas and loved them; I heard raves about the the crust, cheese, and sauce. (I didn't try any myself). But I'd rate their oohs and aahs at least 4 stars. Speaking of rating, I'd start somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. I should note that we LOVED their extensive use of sustainable material, including: plates (from sugarcane), straws (from agave), and cups (compostable). So an easy decision to round up. We enjoyed our time at Seaside Cafe, especially the setting and welcoming staff. I'm not sure I would make this a destination for full dinner again, since I've already tried the two things on the tiny menu that sounded the best. But for cocktails and some finger food, absolutely.

After visiting the southernmost area of Key west , we were looking for somewhere to grab a bite to eat and thanks to Yelp we made it here. This place did not disappoint. The food was good, the service was good but the views were even better. Of course conch fritters were the must try food while being in the conch republic. They were as just as good as I remember. I also had the coconut shrimp which were nice and filling. I would recommend place if you're looking for good seafood in the southernmost area. They also have a lobster pizza which looked amazing but unfortunately I didn't get to try this visit but I think I will definitely be back to try it next time. read more
