We had the fish special and the chicken and shitake mushroom pasta. The lobster sauce on the special was very very good and the fish was cooked perfectly. I had seafood the last couple of nights and wanted to try something different. Normally don't order chicken at restaurants, but made and exception and was very happy with it. Without a doubt the best chicken I have ever eaten. Meat was tender and juicy. The mushroom sauce was the perfect amount of richness complemented with the intense shitake flavor. I am pretty good about not overeating, but I failed and cleaned my plate. Many complements to the chef. read more

It is a cute enough restaurant - food was a bit unusual, but especially on the kids menu. Our 9 yr old niece literally had nothing to eat. The kids menu is filled with things that kids typically won't eat - like fish and meatloaf. To a youngster, that is super "yuck"! Highly recommend they evolve the kids menu to include more kid friendly options like hamburgers, chicken fingers, pasta (with non spicy tomato sauce) etc. There wasn't even a desert she would touch! The other menu items that would normally be ok for a kid, like the quesadillas, weren't even an option due to the ingredients used. Yellow CurryWild Mushroom Quesadilla? That was a hard pass. PS, a kids drink menu like apple juice, hot chocolate, chocolate milk, etc. would also be nice! read more

Disappointing in every way possible. I had never visited the previous location, but just from this visit alone I had a very bad feeling. - My drink was WAY too sweet. Instead of getting a new one, the waitress said that she'll get it fixed. I watched the process and getting it fixed meant diluting the drink with more liquor and mixing drink. The drink was NOT better. -The waitress took both my plate and my girlfriend's plates and showed it to other diners. The plates were face-level with the other diners... nice. -They give you bread WITH the food, not before. When the waitress asked if we'd like butter and oil, I said yes, both please. She clarified that it was one or the other, not both. Are butter and oil that expensive? -The main entree was disappointing. I got a fish dish. My fish came sitting on top of a huge pile of mashed potatoes. The grilled fish had got wet and my fish was now mush. Why would you do that to a piece of fish? On top was a pile of zucchini and diced tomatoes (more wet ingredients... WHY!?) See picture attached to this review. -My girlfriend's scallops were disappointing. The chef made an attempt to bread them (see pictures) but half the breading was missing. How can you not bread scallops? It's simple. -There are very weird totems high up in the restaurant. See attached picture. WTF is up with them? If you read the other reviews from users and have doubts about this place, take head. They are VERY real and I suggest you go elsewhere. read more

NYE dinner was a top notch experience and I don't think you can go wrong with Seven Fish. The location is quite the hike from Duvall, but much more accessible with a bike, or car, or ride share...we had none of those so we hoofed it. Reservation was basically on time and the establishment was of course busy on NYE. We started with the grouper sushi roll which was just fine. I'd probably go with the tuna if I had another shot at it. I had the blackfin tuna and it was a complete meal. My wife had the snapper with vegetable Thai curry cream sauce. Both were amongst the best meals we had during our week in the Keys. I had a couple Old Fashioneds that were Bourbon, bitters, cherries, and that's it, just how I like it, and my wife enjoyed her wine. read more

Horrible. They would not accept my state issued id to show I'm 21 in order to order a drink. The manager wouldn't accept it either. Ended up just wanting to leave but still got 2 rolls which were terrible. The rice was extremely hard like the rolls were pre made. Everything looked so incredible before going. The grouper roll was not horrible but the spicy tuna roll had rice that was hard as a rock. read more

Seated over ten minutes before we were acknowledged by anyone, drinks arrived at the table over 30 minutes after our 8p reservation. Unprofessional and rude service (and to another reviewer's point - yes the uniforms are off putting). Delicious food and cocktails. Still, would not recommend with so many other local options. read more

A very nice surprise. Food, ambiance and drinks are fantastic. Very courteous and pleasant staff. We enjoyed the 80s music. The cleanliness was outstanding. The food was top notch. The swordfish, which is typically dry in most places, was well complemented by the mango and papaya chutney. Zena, our waitress was outstanding in recommending delicious options. Overall a top restaurant in Key West. read more

Nice place for dinner. Features an adult environment with intimate lighting and decor. Had the signature dish: Thai curry yellow tail snapper and it was saucy and delicious. Had the strawberry cream pie for dessert and it was shareable and delicious. read more

Uh....yelp has seriously gone off the deep end on this restaurant...really 4 1/2 stars fellow Yelpers?!?! I rate this place 2stars for food and 4stars for service...overall 3 star average. The restaurant was gracious and removed the gnocchi from our bill so thank you. Let me first start with the good. The service staff was great. The bar also did a very good job with the drinks. We left a 40% tip...Regardless of what we thought about the food we felt it was appropriate to recognize the service. The Bad: we went here for our anniversary dinner and anticipated a great start to our anniversary celebration. However, the food was just not well prepared and the flavor profile very blunt and heavy. More is not always better. We started with the ceviche. What a mess. Calling this dish a ceviche is just wrong. It's more of a large bowl of greens with shrimp and conch on top. Mixed into this was what seems like salsa?!?! They need to add a lot more lime. The dish tasted like salsa which over powered the taste of the lime/citrus. The dish desperately needed more acid and brightness. We ended up asking for additional wedges of lime. The conch was very tough...like chewing on pieces of Goodyear tires. My wife had gnocchi and fresh mahi mahi with blue cheese sauce. The fish was fresh but buried and drowned in a heavy sauce. I don't mean drenched like you might feel walking around in a lovely spring shower. I mean drowning as if the poor pieces of gnocchi were in the middle of an ocean. I think she saw waves. The gnocchi was falling apart and had the consistency of mush. My penne pasta with grilled black fin tuna was sitting in a deep bowl with a large skewer of tuna sitting inside. The tuna was fresh and well grilled. The pasta was so over cooked it might as well have been canned. The goat cheese was sitting under the fish. When I moved the skewer it looked like a large chunk of cheese had been smeared over the top of the pasta. A Simple but a more sophisticated presentation would be on a rectangular plate with the tuna skewer on one side with a little bit of sauce underneath rather than on top to show off the nice grill marks. The penna should be placed next to it with lighter dressing of the sauce and the goat cheese sprinkled over it. The worst was the crab cake. The flavor was interesting but rather muddled with too many spices. The main issue was the feel and texture. Biting into it was like biting into a hunk of play-do or dense mushy dough. The ginger sauce was also off putting. The flavor was ok but again a bit dull and heavy. The most disturbing issue was the texture. As we ate it, the sauce started to congeal and had a very mucous like consistency. With its pale opaque color...it had an odd look of something familiar. My wife actually said it looked like a plate of 'boogers' And...don't put a big hunk of bread on top of your entree. It crowds an already overwhelming plate of food in a deep bowl. Serve it in the side. Overall...to be a top notch upscale restaurant I think this place needs to upgrade its technical skills in the kitchen and fine tune its menu. Brighten up the flavors, put less on the plate and concentrate on making every plate focused and great. More is not always better and focus on texture and how different ingredients are supposed to work in concert. read more

Incredibly fresh fish, I had the tuna cooked perfectly med-rare by request over pasta and he had the mahi mahi over vegetables. The sushi rolls were so excellent (spicy tuna and grouper). Service was fast and our waitress was so sweet made some great recommendations and refilled our water so that it was always to the top (never left empty). I have to shout out anyone who wrote a poor review especially the Wendy's guy- I mean I do love my Frosty's but maybe he was drunk coming right off Duval in a fowl mood? The few lower stars are complaining about the price but really unless you're from a small town and used to cheap pricing it's very competitively priced and not at all expensive compared to any other fresh fish restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

Great ambiance. Very good food. Creative dishes. For the level of this restaurant, the service didn't match up. It actually took away from the experience. No, they weren't extremely busy that night. The food alone warrants giving the place another chance the next time I'm in town. read more

We came here the night of our 28th anniversary. It's a beautiful restaurant with a unique take on seafood. I loved it. I had the swordfish with curry cream sauce. My husband had the yellow tail. The key lime pie was the best I had on the island. Highly recommend! read more

I was on a bachelorette party and we ate at Seven Fish for our last night in Key West. It was a hit with all the ladies, particularly the scallop pasta special. I personally had the sushi and it tasted just as sushi on a island should-fresh and well flavored. The role size was a little disappointing though.... The appetizers were fun and had a great flavor, Mahi as one and a tuna poke on cucumber as another. The only thing pretty under-whelming were the drinks. They didn't match the style or class of the restaurant and were served in water glasses...I'd expect something a little classier and more well done from a seafood restaurant that isn't on the main drag. The hostess was the sweetest though and was very accommodating! I'd recommend making reservations in advance for a group. Overall a pleasant experience and much better than the grime of the wharf. read more

Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. We will definitely be back every time we come to Key West. Come here to impress any foodie.

So bad that I made a Yelp account just to leave another review. Staff/service was fine but food would have been bad for a sea food shack that cost a quarter the price (no, I am not exaggerating). The bread served before the meal was the only good part (in replies to other reviews they said they don't serve bread but that's a lie???) The wine was okay, the appetizers were overpriced at best, and the entrees were horrendous. What made things worse was that NO substitutions were allowed, even for something as simple as tomatoes which are added to the dish by hand before being served. If I was trying to impress a date I would rather go to the Wendy's on Duval, no I am not joking. read more

Impeccable service, delicious food, wait time was good, great appetizers and my tuna steak was prepared perfectly medium-rare. read more

Seven Fish - Their bar, which has a nice glass and mirror backdrop with LED backlighting. Makes the bourbons all stand out... - Seafood Near Me - Key West, Florida

One star for decor, one star for not poisoning anyone. Ordered shrimp cocktail, gnocchi, banana chicken, and a glass of sancerre. Food was average at best, and the gnocchi themselves were particularly bad - dense and chewy and tasted of raw flour, and the bits of mahi in the sauce were so small and broken up they seemed like the scraps from someone else's entree. Just embarrassing. The chicken was, chicken with bananas on it. No theme to the dish, no cohesion, just literally some ingredients thrown on a plate. Don't understand the positive reviews at all, hugely disappointing meal which we finished barely half of (and we hate wasting food, but it was not worth the money or the calories. And just to ice the cake, our server implied about six times that we hadn't ordered enough food (somehow two entrees, an appetizer, and wine is an inadequate order? No idea what the deal was but not what I expect from higher end service.) read more

One of our go to spots; curry snapper and banana chicken. With a couple of their cocktails makes for a perfect evening.

Visited on a Friday night with a reservation. They are not on opentable so you have to call in for one. I left a message and received a call back confirming my requested day and time a couple of days later. As mentioned in other reviews, the restaurant is small (though not as small as I thought from reading the reviews). No parking issues because we took a pedicab from our hotel, you should too. Don't drive here and go through the parking hassle. From reading the website, it seems they will be moving to a bigger location soon. Hopefully that helps with the parking. With a corkage fee of $18, we brought in our wine. Our waitress greeted us and immediately took the bottle to open it. Not sure why she had to take it into the kitchen given she then opened it at the bar. That wasn't cool and a big no-no. The bottle has to remain within the client's view. Other than that, she was great the rest of the night, very friendly and on top of things. We started with the CRABCAKE and the SPICY TUNA SUSHI special. The crabcake was fantastic. Great consistency, seasoned nicely, and no krab in sight....this was the real deal crab meat. The sushi roll was OK. It was tuna. It was spicy. Nothing more. Nothing less. For our entrees, we ordered the MAHI MAHI and the SEAFOOD MARINARA PASTA. The mahi came with a gingered curry sauce over a sticky rice; both which were to die for. The pasta had a grilled fish (forgot which one), clams, and shrimp. The bread that came with both entrees was MASHED POTATO FOCACCIA and seasoned with garlic. SO GOOD. The problem? Well, both the fish from the pasta and my mahi were overcooked. The curry and pasta sauced helped mask it. We didn't complain about it because our dinner reservation was late and we weren't having these entrees until way past 10. No way were we going to wait for another set of dishes. We were already so tired and wanted to get back to the hotel. That was disappointing. This is Seven Fish, fish is what they do! Can't mess this up. Chicken? Steak? Fine. Fish? Nope. I ate most of my rice with that curry sauce and the fish I was able to oversauce so that I could forget the dryness. Bummed about that. How does it happen to two fish portions at once? For dessert, we shared the KEY LIME CHEESECAKE. That was just OK. I come to Key West often. I wouldn't be opposed to a return visit, if say friends chose it, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. Overall, bummed it wasn't as stellar as I thought it would be. read more

ONE FISH TWO FISH - SEVEN'S EVEN BETTER Finally after much revelry about this small privately owned locals place, we were able to get in with a last minutes 6:00 reservation (with 20 minutes notice). Our choices were 6 or 9 as a last minute Hail Mary call, and we slipped in. Once we arrived we were seated quickly. As others have indicated it is an incredibly tiny establishment with tables wedged about a foot apart along the sides. Service was quick but sporadic. It reminded me of the service of a late night dinner where if you didn't have a definitive decision, the waitress was off in a flash before you could ask a question. As the waitress's buzzed about from table-to-table, I then realized that there was only 2-3 people taking care of the entire place, most likely do to the limited space to squeeze around the tables. I'LL HAVE THE PINO NOIR DO - get the La Crema Pino Noir. Always a reliable and safe choice. DON'T - get the Chardonnay. Tried it. Hated it. The end. SOUND CHECK 101 As others have stated this place is so small the octave level is over the top. You can not help but speak with your neighbors or vice versa, so be prepared. MEATLOAF - GOOD FOR THE SOUL. We ordered two appetizers... a special spicy tuna sushi roll and a mixed fish ceviché salad. (see pics) DO - get the spicy tuna sushi roll. We would go back again just for that and a glass of wine. DO - get the crab cake appetizer. Our neighbors and a few other tables ordered it and they all raved. DON'T - get the ceviché. The interpretation of ceviche at this place was more like a cold fish salad (the usual little shrimp, white fish, etc.) on top of lettuce. It was more like a meal then an appetizer in size. But the most unfortunate part was this was not ceviché! This was a cold VERY BLAND fish salad. BOO! (see pic) Next up were the main courses. The standard meatloaf off the menu for my husband, and the $30 Grouper with coconut chutney on angel hair pasta for me. DO - After much adieu about the meatloaf in local circles... IT'S THE ONE REASON TO VISIT THIS PLACE! It has a brown gravy with homemade mash and veggies. A huge portion for any appetite. It was so delicious. (see pic) MANGO CHUTNEY - A DRESSING ONLY 'BUDDY THE ELF' COULD LOVE DON'T - get the Grouper or any other fish dish with the mango salsa unless you you have the high sugar pallet of our buddy 'ELF". This was terrible. Sweeter and more tart than pouring syrup on your pasta, this was down right nasty. I have to admit that I am a savory eater of preference to begin with, but heavens to murgatroyd, what were they thinking?? (see pic) (P.S., it was the favorite dish of the waitress. Go figure.) Although I only ate a few bites of my dish, I jumped over to my husbands plate and finished his meatloaf for him. What a trooper. Consequently, the couple next to us ordered the grouper with chutney as well and the woman passed her dish to her husband and finished his, haha. I wasn't the only one. The scuttlebutt is that this long time locals establishment is moving to a bigger and more efficient place. My best to Seven Fish on their future endeavors. Who knows, you just may see me in for an awesome meatloaf fix. SUMMARY Order off the menu. Don't spend the $30 on the specials. Not worth it. read more

Rating: 93/100 pts Whoa, what is this place doing here? Key West is a small island mostly swallowed up by tourism. I've visited enough times to know not to expect great food--the scenery more than makes up for that--which is why I was all the more surprised...or actually, astonished, to find this foodie oasis. Fresh seafood? Intimate atmosphere? Artisan preparation? Seasonal, rotating menu? Yes, yes, yes, and yes. It's almost as if the foodie deity came down herself and declared this a "non-tourist ripoff" zone. And it's not like you even have to go that out of your way. It's smack dab in the middle of the island--yes, a few blocks away from the main streets, but who cares. The island isn't that big to begin with, so enjoy the walk away from the Key West hustle and bustle, and step up to this small, quiet haven. Just make sure you make reservations. I got and shared the Crab Cake appetizer and Mixed Greens Salad, and as entrees the Thai Curry and Gnocchi, which both were cooked with fresh fish. Each dish that came out seemed to surpass the one before it. The Crab Cake was perfectly cooked and seasoned with ginger and garlic, without being too greasy. The salad used fresh greens and a powerfully tart yet light balsamic dressing. The bread was AMAZING. This is actually the best bread I've had in recent memory. It's most definitely freshly baked in-house, perfectly soft and moist in the middle and crisp on the outside, with wafty herbs baked in. I never expected to eat such memorable bread in Key West. Knowing that a lot of $$$ restaurants tend to favor quality over quantity when it comes to entrees, thus encouraging you to buy more sides (and spend more $$$), I preemptively filled up a bit on appetizers before my entrees came out. This was a mistake. The entrees were completely robust in their own right, without sacrificing the slightest shred of quality. The Thai Curry, more of a bistro dish, was tactfully executed, the curry being delicate yet delicious, without being too sweet or reliant on fat. The rice was amazingly fresh and pillowy. The fish (they cook it with whatever was freshly caught that day) was perfectly prepared. It also came cooked with enough fresh vegetables to keep your nutritionist satisfied. The same goes for the Gnocchi Plate--everything about it was exquisite. The gnocchi was extremely fresh and chewy, obviously having been freshly made in-house. And, with regard to both this and the Curry: FISH, FISH, FISH. They are NOT stingy with their fish. When I got my food, most of it was covered in sauce. I assumed most of the substance would be vegetables or gnocchi, but was surprised to find more and more and more delicious chunks of fish as I ate. Try as I might, having ordered 2 appetizers, the portions were so generous that I simply could not get through all the food. It was way too good to throw away, though, so I took it home and ate it the next morning--even though I had separate plans for breakfast. Quality + Quantity = prices are totally worth it. Without having tried every spot, I'm pretty confident that this is the single best restaurant in Key West. No need to take risks; I'll definitely be back next time I'm here. read more

A small and delightful gem in Key West. My boyfriend and I came here on our last night in Key West for dinner. We made reservations at 8:30pm, came in a little early and was seated right away. The boyfriend and I both ordered the specials for the night. We started with an order of cerviche, which was so good with the fresh shrimps, scallops, and conch. It had the perfect amount of acidity. The boyfriend ordered the snapper with the thai curry sauce and I ordered the grouper with a sweet almond sauce on a bed of angel hair. Both dishes were delicious. I liked my boyfriend's dish a little more than mine, the thai curry sauce on top of the snapper was so good, I couldn't stop picking at his dish. My grouper could have used a little more sauce, but it was still very good. Seven Fish is a great seafood restaurant. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who comes to Key West. read more

The star goes to the Manhattan. For a restaurant that claims to be upscale, they served a lot of rice over compared to the fish. They don't give you alot of options for the preset menu and desserts were something you could get at a grocery store. We tried both the key lime and the brownie. The brownie was a rock. They key lime was standard; not horrible but not anything to rave about either. read more

Fantastic meal celebrating my girlfriend's birthday. The yellowtail snapper curry was full of flavor and the scallops were HUGE and tender. Normally we're underwhelmed when ordering a scallop dish because it's not enough to eat, but my girlfriend couldn't finish them even though they were fantastic. Nataliya was our server and made excellent recommendations from the appetizers through to the dessert (and even some local recos for where to get key lime pie)! The key lime cheesecake is the best cheesecake I've ever had. read more

Recommended to me by a good friend who used to live in Key West. This place does not disappoint at all! Fantastic vibe, small cozy atmosphere, off the beaten path, educated and friendly waitresses, fantastic wine selection, and the most delicious fish I've ever had in the Keys. I come to Seven Fish every single time I'm in Key West. I've even driven down from Bahia Honda for it whilst on a camping trip. Parking is a bit of an issue but walking around in KW is always nice. Call ahead for a reservation.. They are always packed! If you can't get one, take it to go! I recommended the gnocchi with blue cheese sauce and Mahi but everything I've ever had here is delicious! Save room for dessert. Now only if we had a Seven Fish in Miami. :( read more

Seven Fish - Rum and bananas with ice cream shared this but could have ate the whole thing myself! - Seafood Near Me - Key West, Florida

Definitely worth looking for . . . .and looking for is what you are going to do to find this place. From the outside? It looks like someone "remuddled" a remodeling project, for attached to an existing home is this white box . . looks like a cross between a liquor store and a Laundromat. But once you pull open the door- you find yourself in a quaint space with exposed rafters, minimal decoration but some of the best food you will probably find down in the Keys. We were seated promptly for our 9pm reservation. A cozy table for two among other two tops along the one wall. There are probably only 15 or so tables in the place so a reservation is a must and they will work to get you in. It's dark inside with the flickering candles not doing much to light the tables or the food or even the menu, for that matter, so I was happy that our server recited the fresh fish specials of the day. Know also that they also only serve beer and wine so don't expect some frothy drink! We started with the ceviche (this was just okay- I would have liked it to have more flavor but the scallops and shrimp were overpowered by the green peppers) But the pepper and goat cheese salad that came up next was delicious and then out came our entrees. I went with the signature snapper dish prepared with a light Thai curry cream sauce served over white rice which was just delicious. My friend had the grouper with a mango chutney served over angel hair pasta. Both dishes were quite good and the portion sizes were large enough that had we not been staying in a hotel- we would have had plenty to take home for another meal. And for dessert- try the brownie with ice cream and coconut flakes. Just the right amount of sweetness. The tables are close so know that you are going to be right in the midst of everyone's conversation. It worked out great for by the time we left- we knew the two couples surrounding us and got a number of other suggestions of places to eat at during our weekend in the Keys. If you drive, don't. Parking is a disaster anywhere in this area with the narrow streets and the resident parking. Take a cab or walk . .everyone will appreciate you more. And while this place may look like a "hole in the wall" know that dinner with wine will run you about $50 a person. Check it out . . . .it will probably be one of the highlights of your trip! read more

My husband and I went here for dinner after we got married. We ordered the sautéed grouper sushi, sea scallops and mussels to start. The appetizers were all amazing. We both ordered NY strip for our main meal. It was okay but didn't blow me away. The service was good and I love the ambiance. It's a small cute restaurant a couple blocks away from Duval St. It had a nice romantic vibe it was perfect for post elopement dinner. read more

What a gem of a restaurant this is! As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Carl and offered to sit anywhere we liked. Immediately, our waitress greeted us and asked if we cared for cocktails. Since they do a Martini Monday we figured we couldn't go wrong with an Espresso Martini for my wife and a dirty martini for me, both were done perfectly and very tasty!! Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and guided us accordingly to choose a roasted red pepper and feta salad( refreshing and tasty) accompanied with their homemade and baked fresh daily focaccia bread, ( yummy). Dinner was unanimous... a homemade gnocchi and blue cheese sauce. My wife had Maho Matji and I had Grouper. So good! Carl came by suggesting the dark chocolate graham cracker crust, strawberry pie. Carl said it was light and delicious and he was spot on! We enjoyed our experience here immensely and recommend it highly. I only wish they can duplicate this in Seal Beach, CA read more

Tried this for dinner on a friend's recommendation. We liked it but didn't love it. I started with a spicy tuna roll (special) that was fantastic. My husband had the grouper roll and loved it. Then I had the scallops and he had the snapper with rice and spicy curry. He liked it a lot. Mine was just okay. Loved the mashed potatoes but I need a hard sear on my scallops or they are too slimy for me. The flavors were a little odd too. Not bad, but not great. The bread was strange. The service was amazing. We would try it again. I would probably go for the meatloaf - it looks great! read more

Heed these words: YOU WILL NEED A RESERVATION, THEY OPEN AT 6PM SHARP, AND BE READY RUB ELBOWS WITH THE TABLES NEXT TO YOU! This is not a big place at all, even though they can pack 12-14 parties in here. It's also not uppity RESERVATION ONLY! kind of place, because one couple actually joined the first rush on a walk-in. I am still quite amazed at all the service personnel navigating through the narrow space among the tables while holding those plates. ~Small Plate~ 1. Spicy Tuna Roll - just like the spicy tuna I would make at home too. Tasted freshly made, because it was warm kitchen temperature. 2. Warm Grouper Roll - I think this might be a tad bit more salty to others, but I always eat heavy taste so I am okay with it. (P.S. to the folks at Seven Fish--You need to ask whether someone want the red cap or green cap of soy sauce to go with the rolls) ~Main Course~ Red Snapper Red Curry - Now I wouldn't exactly called it Yellow Curry, it's garlicky and buttery, just not the Thai Curry I have grown accustomed to; but don't let that misled you into thinking I did not like it at all. If fact, I love it so much, I quite literally cleaned the plate, with the artisan whole grain bread baked with sliced garlic and rosemary sits on the side of the main event, and I have eye witness. ~Dessert~ Banana Flambe - I was actually expecting this to come... flambe! But, having children sitting at the table next to me, that might not be advised I guess. Two scoops of the ice cream (or one bigger scoop) will counter sweetness. I finished with a helping of coffee, black, no cream no sugar. (P.P.S. It truly was quite a struggle for me to determine whether it was a 4-star or 5-star experience. This draft of review was ready the moment I stepped out of Seven Fish two weeks ago, as you can see it wasn't exactly all 100% for what I planned for a birthday meal. I know this doesn't measure how good a restaurant is, but I was put at a table that is right beside the window, and the window was so clean it felt like I was sitting on the patio, except I still get the air conditioning. Also the nice lady spotted that I had a little issue trying to get the right light to look at my cellphone, so she offered to roll the blinds down until sunset. Somehow to me that made it perfect.) read more

Three years later and Seven Fish is still my favorite restaurant in Key West. When we came back to Key West, one of the first things we did was book a reservation since it is a small restaurant. We got a late 8:45 reservation on a Friday night which was nice because it was after the rush and things were slowing down. Service was excellent. Our waitress was helpful and attentive while not being overbearing. I was also impressed with the way the host/manager handled a loud unruly party. He was all class. The food is the star. Everything is exceptional. We started off with the ceviche which was great. For our main, I ordered the grouper of the day over pasta with vegetables and my husband ordered the scallops. The grouper was a thick filet with a mango chutney that was beautiful over fresh pasta. It was superb. The scallops with mashed potatoes and spinach was amazing. I love scallops and my husband and I traded dishes to share (it was in the vows). We were too full to get dessert but it looked lovely. We left feeling full and satisfied. I only wish they were open earlier for lunch so we could come back for one more meal before we left! read more
