The best meal of our vacation including meals in Miami Beach. The tropical shrimp salsa appetizer was so fresh and was super delicious. The grouper special that was served with a manga papaya chutney was fantastic. The grouper was cooked perfectly and came out piping hot. The portion size was perfect. My spouse had the lobster Alfredo pasta entree and loved every bite. The portion of lobster was perfect. The service was friendly and perfectly attentive. I would love to eat here again someday. Highly recommend. read more

Just amazing. What a great treat in Key West. We were lucky to go right after the Keys open after the pandemic and this normally busy place was just opening so there was no wait. We had the fish feast for 2 and it was a great way to taste multiple things on the menu. All of it was fresh and yummy and it leaves you in a good spot, not to full. Service and decor is also a nice plus. If we ever get down to Key West again, this is a must stop. read more

Eating at Seven Fish was a very enjoyable experience. The ambience is very pleasant and the service and food was excellent. I would highly recommend eating here when in Key West and your looking for a nice place for a date night dinner. read more

Don't worry about years' old reviews. This place has delicious food, reasonable pricing and good sizes. The snapper, banana chicken, smoked mahi and mushroom quesadilla were all amazing. Can't wait to come back. read more

Without a doubt, one of the top 10 meals I have ever had! From start to finish, the food was fantastic. I understand why they don't change their menu - why mess with perfection? The Thai cream Curry was amazing, and the crab cake was the best I have ever tasted. No time for pictures, it all disappeared too quickly!! Highly recommended read more

Have been going to Seven Fish since it opened 20 years ago. It was always one of our favorite restaurants. Unfortunately, we will not be going again. The drinks were served in cheap glassware and the pour on a $16 liquor ordered on the rocks was abysmal. The attention to detail on the food coming out of the kitchen was lacking. One entree was over sauced and another had shrimp so small any other restaurant would have been embarrassed to serve them and if there were chopped clams in the sauce they were invisible to the naked eye. On a positive note the wait staff is very friendly and professional. The restaurant has lost it's charm since Peter left. read more

We argued over this rating, I think it should really be a 3.5. RJ was adamant that it should not be higher than a 3, which is A-OK so that's still a good rating. Their service was great, it's the entree prices that we were unhappy about. Don't get me wrong, we are in KW and are happy to pay for something that makes us walk away and say wow, that was amazing and worth ever penny. That just didn't happen. RJ also didn't like that it's called Seven Fish but we could only find 3 on the menu, unless they are counting shrimp and crab as fish. They did not have grouper for an entree which was what we really wanted. The grouper sushi was fantastic, and the crab cake appetizer had the flavoring of conch fritters. But $33 for Mahi?? It was good but not $33 good, and it was just barely over cooked. I said maybe $22 good, and RJ said $24. Plus we can get mahi anywhere. The corn salad was delicious, but we both read mashed potatoes on the menu and RJs came with halved potatoes. It's dark inside, and there are windows viewing the parking lot, so it's not like you are paying for a view. The sound really carries in there so it's not quiet even with a half empty restaurant. There was a very loud party of 10 or 12 and we could hear everything they were screaming about. They do take temperatures, and are seating every other table but we might as well have been sitting with the loud table. I'm glad we tried it so now we know, but it won't stay on the rotation. The restaurant was mostly empty other than that, and service was friendly and fast. There wasn't a long wait at all. read more

A friend recommended this restaurant so we decided to try it on our last night in KW. Went with my husband, our 17 year old son and his friend. The bread is delicious, everyone liked it. They have a very good wine selection. I got the tuna poke and crab cake for dinner. The poke was not the best flavor and kind of mushy. The crab cake was very good. My husband yellowtail special and said it was pretty good. The kids got the three cheese ceasar which they loved, and the meatloaf which was a little mushy but ok. Overall the flavors were not the best but ok. The service was also good. I feel like this place is trying to be upscale, but the food just isn't there and they allow animals inside. Probably would not try it again. read more

Great food and an awesome environment! The service was unbelievable, and the food was excellent!

Everything was delicious! Service was great! Good cocktails, beer and wine menu. Key Lime Pie was amazing!

Great food and good drinks! Get the scampi if you like garlic. And you can't go wrong with the sushi read more

Great service and atmosphere. Dinner was excellent. Mahi mahi appetizer was our favorite. Didn't have any fresh lobster, but steak was good.

Stopped in after 8 on a Thursday hoping to get a drink and bite at the bar. It was packed with a fun combination of locals and visitors and the host went out of his way to ensure we had drinks and watched over us until two seats opened up. Then we met Eric, who continued to provide the best service in town and did his best to make sure everyone at the bar knew each other. We shared a flavorful mushroom quesadilla and Caesar salad with mahi. The mahi mahi was so beautifully prepared it flaked apart with a fork, and the dressing was much lighter than the creamy version too many restaurants serve these days. Even with the wait at the beginning (get those reservations in!), it was a leisurely hour and a half of good food and wonderful company. read more

I can't say enough about this place.Beyond good fish dishes .I can tell there is a lot of thought put into their dishes.Also the presentation was excellent.I eat with my eyes first and boy oh boy. We would definitely return for round two the next time we are in Key West. Bravo great night out.Thanks to the chef... read more

Seven Fish - Thai Snapper - Seafood Near Me - Key West, Florida

My experience at Seven Fish could be summed up by what I like to call "being Gatsbied." It's when someone RAVES about something to the point where you believe that it has to be the greatest thing on earth. And then you go to experience it for yourself and it just doesn't meet the sky high expectations you had. I'm sure there's a psychological term for this but I use that term bc I'm a huge Leo fan and loved The Great Gatsby when it came out and I raved about it to everyone and they all came back and told me it was "just ok. Not worth the hype." So that's essentially what happened with Seven Fish. My ex boyfriend LOVED this place. He had gone to Key West a few times on family trips and told me many times that this was his favorite restaurant of all time. When were dating, he went there for a trip and acted like dinner at this place was the highlight of the whole vacation. He even looked it up on Yelp once and was flabbergasted that this place didn't have a solid five star review (as you can see, I'm not helping the case there). So obviously, my expectations were sky high. So when I went here myself, I was flying solo. When I walked in I knew I wanted to sit at the bar. The ambiance is nice. You can tell it's more of an upscale restaurant than many others in Key West. I just ordered a bottled water. I looked at the wine menu but nothing stood out. My biggest disappointment was the lack of appealing seafood entrees. They have quite a few but nothing sounded that great. I wanted an actual fillet of fish, not scallops, shrimp or seafood pasta. I went back and forth on what to get. I settled on the mahi dish which comes with mashed potatoes and ratatouille. It felt like it took awhile for my meal to come out. I would say 20 minutes or more. I figured for one dish it wouldn't take that long. The mahi was good. Tender and juicy. Flaked right off. The mashed potatoes were also good but just not the right side for the mahi. It did not complement the fish well. Mashed potatoes should be the side to a nice hearty steak: not a light flaky fish. The ratatouille made things even more weird. It again just did not feel like the right side for this Fish. It was a better choice for side than potatoes but still not right. The ratatouille was just okay. Lastly, sitting at the bar I was the only one by myself. I'm so used to bartenders talking to me or at least asking me a few questions (especially in a tourist destination it's to easy to just ask "where are you from?") This bartender was nice but didn't start any type of convo with me. In fact he'd just stand in the back corner of the bar when he didn't have anything to do. I just thought that was odd. I know I'm the one traveling alone and I don't expect everyone to go out of their way to be nice to me. But I feel like trying to at least make small talk is something I've experienced with every bartender (regardless if I'm alone or not!) So all in all, this place is not at all worth the hype that my ex put on it. It's just ok. Don't go out of your way to come here. But I guess it's a good option if you're looking for a nicer dining experience while in Key West. read more

Seven Fish - The mahi with mashed potatoes and ratatouille. The sides did not complement the fish well. It was just ok overall. - Seafood Near Me - Key West, Florida

My husband and I always go to Key West at least once a year to fish. We have some local favorites that we always go to, but this time, based on a friend's recommendation (who is also a chef and restaurant owner), we decided to try Seven Fish. Though we were dining during a pandemic, the only evidence of it were the masks and table separation. Service, ambiance and food have not suffered at all. It was perfection. Our server was Callie. She was friendly, engaging and helpful. She suggested the chef specialties/local faves (both entrees featuring fresh locally caught fish) and it was fresh, beautifully prepared, unique in flavor and damn delicious. We will definitely be adding Seven Fish to our exclusive list of perfect Key West restaurants to dine at. Thanks for a great experience Callie! read more

Our experience was outstanding. We made last minute reservations around their peak dinner rush. We were first impressed by the suspended concrete and fountains out front. The inside was just beautiful. Irina was our server. She was great! They had someone constantly refilling our waters, which was very much needed after a long day of drinking. We tried the tropical salsa.. very good. For entrees, we had the local favorite and mahi special. Both very good! The curry cream sauce was delicious!! We were celebrating a birthday so Irina was so sweet and brought a key lime pie. Lit with a candle. A perfect way to end our time here! We will definitely be back on our next vacation. read more

Best scallops I've ever had besides the ones I cook. We ordered the scallop entree and look for round two!

Amazing restaurant on Truman. The Yellowtail Snapper Curry and Shrimp Scampi were incredible. And the key lime pie with whipped cream was the best in key west. I highly recommend this wonderful place. read more

Food: Fresh Tuna over pasta. Amazing!!!!! Service: although a little bit of a wait, with no one at the host desk, service otherwise, perfect! Ambiance: 80% cozy, but might be improved upon? I'm not an interior deco pro, , just my feeling. Slight hint too modern, perhaps? I would definitely recommend this for anyone wanting fresh seafood. Home run!! read more

Great atmosphere - good drinks and the food was excellent. Our group tried multiple dishes and everything was great.

THIS IS YOUR SIGN, MAKE THIS RESERVATION! Seven Fish was stellar! We heard this was a gem for the locals and we can confirm, one of the best meals we have ever had! Fresh food, great service, beautiful location. Recommend: Scallops Entree and Seafood Linguine It was so good, we came back the next night! Bravo!! read more

I had the grouper and my partner had hogfish, both dishes were B+. The cocktails were outstanding! Our server was A++ , very sweet and attentive but not over-bearing. Our reservation was at 6pm, right when the restaurant opened, so if you like a lively atmosphere, make your plans at 7pm and after ! Overall a nice experience and we will be going back ! read more

SEVEN THUMBS UP!!! Everything we tasted was excellent. The mashed potato bread was so fresh and delicious, and that was only a side piece on the main dish. We had the Thai Curry Snapper which is a MUST. Served over a bed of sushi rice, so delicious is makes you wanna smack yo momma. The mahi mahi dish was also 10/10. For dessert DO NOT ignore the Banana Flambé -- this dish is a serious game changer. The service was absolutely spectacular, shout out Sombra! read more

After reading the reviews I had high expectations, which continued when we walked in. Clearly this place has thought about sound quality, as the walls had foam to absorb the sound and the wooden chairs had soft plastic fittings to prevent chair dragging screech, yay! It is easy to have a conversation without shouting even when the restaurant is 80% full. However, after that it proceeded to go downhill. The Papa's Daiquiri was $14 and tasted like a watered down mai thai. We split a large Caesar's salad and although it was disappointing we had to split it ourselves, it was comical the 2 dishes the server delivered alongside. They were finger plates we would have struggled to get 3 pieces of lettuce on. Lol. We had to request reasonably sized salad dishes and no one came around asking if if we wanted fresh pepper. My mixed grill shrimp was overcooked so I only ate 1/2 of one of the 3 pieces. The chicken was pretty good and I loved the sauce that was over the rice. The veggies needed a steak knife to cut without the risk of half of it flying off the dish, however, no one offered that up so after struggling with my butter knife and unable to get our server's attention, I gave up. When my plate was cleared there was no comment on how much food was left of the plate and if everything was OK. The Mahi, $33, was bland - it really could have used a sauce. So, at $100 before tip, we won't be coming back. read more

Seven Fish - Mixed Grill, $21. Shrimp overcooked, chicken was OK. Veggies need a steak knife to cut. Sauce over rice was tasty - Seafood Near Me - Key West, Florida

Fantastic experience. The food was excellent and the service great. Our server was Olga. They have healthy options too.., I changed out what the scallops came with and still so delicious. They were huge, flaky goodness. We had the Alfredo and the wahoo too and both were great. The brownie dessert was also yummy. read more

Excellent all round, great food, service, ambiance .. sea scallops, snapper, lobster pasta.. will come back again..

We stopped in at Seven Fish yesterday night because it had good ratings. We also were happy because they had indoor dining with air conditioning (I am not the biggest fan of eating outside). They checked our temperature when we first came in which I had not had done since Covid started. We ordered the grouper sushi because my girlfriend is not the biggest fan of raw fish. She loved them, and as you can see, she ate one before I even had a chance to take a picture (big Yelp no-no, she should know better). The grouper was still hot which meant it was definitely fresh. I ordered the shrimp scampi, and I was definitely surprised with the amount of asparagus. I like asparagus, I just was not expecting such an untraditional scampi. It was tasty, and the shrimp was yummy. The dish came with their homemade bread which I dipped in the sauce. read more

So I'm going to do this review with a list of pluses and minuses. Pluses: -Very clean, modern decor -no bad smells of bad fish or bleach -all of the seafood and vegetables ingredients are very fresh. Everything definitely has a very fresh and crisp taste to it. -they are very good at accommodating gluten-free and they can do a lot of things gluten-free despite only having one thing on the special menu marked as such. -Everything was cooked perfectly the temperature -scallops were amazing -shrimp salsa with mango was amazing and they made a GF version for us Minuses: -The martini glasses have a weird C shaped stem which makes them uncomfortable to use. In fact my husband would not order a martini once he saw the glasses and we watched a table beside us struggle to use it, pick it up and not spill the beverage. -food preparation to accommodate allergies may take a little longer, way longer -Although the food is very fresh and tastes good, we just were not blown away. There didn't seem to be much as far as creative seasoning, ingredients, in preparation. This is why it's not five stars. read more

Went here based upon YELP reviews and were not disappointed. I enjoyed a tuna steak while my wife had the house special snapper. Strawberry pie and brownie with ice cream were both made in house and terrific. Ambiance and service were both excellent. read more

Made a reservation last minute online and was able to get in right away, now wait. Service was awesome and so was the atmosphere. Small elegant place. Be prepared to spend some money. The curry yellow tail snapper is by far the best dish there.... Melted in your mouth with the curry. So good. I gave it 4 stars because the drinks were sub par. 1. No pina coladas 2. Skiny colada tasted strictly like sweet run 3. Margaritas VERY STRONG ( this is a good thing though lol) Overall the place was awesome, the staff was great. Just wish it had more island drink options. read more

Outstanding place for dinner. Enjoyed the mussels, snapper and the scallops. Will definitely go back on our next visits.

We ate at Seven Fish last night, as we always do when in Key West. The drinks were expertly concocted and the food as wonderful as ever. The creamy curry house dish is a consistent winner. The waitress, Natalia, makes the evening a pleasure with her smile, competence and engaging manner. The place has a welcoming buzz of happy diners. Don't miss it! read more

Just experienced one of the best overall dining experiences I have had in a long time. Great atmosphere, outstanding service followed up by creatively prepared seafood. When you are Key West stop in and visit Karl and his attentive staff. The black grouper was outstanding, the gnocchi prepared with local Mahi and a touch of blue cheese in the cream sauce was so wrong it was right! Irina guided us through the menu and helped make our choices...did I mention the strawberry pie? Just say yes. Thanks Seven Fishes Pictures next time. read more

The food was good but not great. They were very accommodating and created fettuccine Alfredo with chicken for our son who is very picky. Pasta with mushrooms and chicken was delicious! read more

Phenomenal food and phenomenal service! Super fresh seafood that was delicious and plentiful. Only reason I am docking one star is because the drinks were lackluster. Stick to wine and beer if you are visiting this establishment but the food is on point as a service is excellent. Would return! read more

I picked this place based on the 4.5 stars and the theory that seafood restaurants off the water have to try harder. The atmosphere is smart, spare and very modern Florida. If we'd stopped with a classic daiquiri and grouper roll, this would be 5 stars. Unfortunately, we did not. The scallops ($35!) were huge and well prepared but arrived with a side of chunky mashed potatoes topped with chunky mashed peas topped with ... cream of spinach soup? But the real travesty was the "crab" cake in bland mystery sauce. The high point was definitely my landlubber husband's banana chicken with sushi rice. Moist, flavorful, interesting. For $106 plus tip for two people, I'd say stick with places with a view. read more
