    Indoor and outdoor seating
    Lori M.

    ViV Wine Bistro looks like you've been transported to France with cute sidewalk seating and seating inside as well. There is also a small bar inside with a friendly server who can help you find the perfect wine! Wine is available by the glass or bottle. The food offerings are tapas and all pair well with wine! I was craving grilled cheese but they take grilled cheese to the next level. I chose the French Style which included apples and walnuts on thick sliced bread....delicious. The hubby had the charcuterie board and a crepe for dessert. VIV has a friendly atmosphere and always feels like a local hangout. Definitely a nice place to grab a bottle glass of wine in a Key West vibe.

    Orange wine?  Try it!  The Sharp and Sexy is delightful.
    Jo H.

    This is a great little place a bit off the main path. I am never disappointed. WINE: Great choices and if you buy an app during happy hour, the wines are half price. I tried an "orange wine" and really liked it! It is not flavored orange, it is called that due to the wine process where the seeds and the skin create a wine that is a light orange color. I usually go for Chardonnay, however, found the Sharp and Sexy quite nice. FOOD: Excellent. The cheese plates have generous portions and they are happy to swap cheeses out depending on what your taste preference is. There is always fresh bread, nuts and fruit served alongside the cheese. SERVICE: Julie is delightful and knowledgeable of every item on the wine and food menu. She is attentive and bubbly. ATMOSPHERE: A warm place with a few bar seats, small tables inside and a couple outside. Most of the time we have stopped here, the bartender is the only one working there and they have to cover not only the bar but all the indoor and outdoor tables. As a result, you should plan to not have a rushed visit. The food comes from next door, La Creperie French Cafe and is fresh, has amazing flavor and made from quality ingredients.

    Italian Meats Cheese Platter

    Great place for wine tasting and charcuterie snacks of all sizes. We ordered a larger charcuterie platter that included duck and it was delicious. The power actually went out on the entire island but our server still was attentive and helpful. If you have a long wait for Blue Heaven across the street, this is a great place for pre-dinner wine. Plenty of inside seating at bar or tables as well as high tops outside to enjoy the nice weather of key west.

    Leather bound menu

    Go during happy hour or call ahead and plan a date night. Happy hour was 50% off a glass. Some bottles to go wee discounted - but the wine.. mwah! Worth the visit. Great breeze on the patio with wine and friends. It's small so if you have 5 or more call ahead and make a reservation

    The place is a hidden gem! The staff, the aesthetic, and service is fantastic. If you're looking for a place to kick back and enjoy a nice glass of wine, this is it!

    Always a great place Good service Good wine The smoked duck is awesome Great service Clean place

    Cheese fondue

    My wife and I were very excited about checking this place. The food was yummy, but the service was horrible! It took almost 20 mins to just get seated. We should have gone with our instinct to leave. I guess they weren't expecting many people for dinner as there was only on waitress. Unfortunately she was overwhelmed and forgot our order and rarely checked on us. It was a very frustrating.

    The Godfather cheese board
    Caitlin L.

    This little wine shop was a highlight of our trip to Key West!! We felt like we were transported to somewhere in Europe and the walls are full of different wines from different regions to choose from! The cheese board and escargot were both delicious. This spot is definitely a must if you're looking for something a bit quieter while in Key West!

    Great wine bar that is perfect for Key West! Relaxing and fun. Nice selection of wine.

    Charcuterie!
    Cristina C.

    Extraordinary charcuterie. World-class selection of cheeses and wine. Fantastic staff!! Cozy, warm ambiance. It's perfect.

    Came here twice while in key west for a few days. Heard about it from our AirBnb and sounded like our sort of place. Came the first time just to have some wine and kill some time before dinner elsewhere. Had some nice cheese and glasses of wine and great service. What I like is the idea of talking about a style of wine rather than a particular grape or region. They list their glasses this way and thought their classifications were spot on. Helps with finding a style your like rather than something odd done to a grape by a certain winery. Cheeses were great. Came back for dinner the next day. The eggs were lovely, get the bacon ones. The duck confit was very good but the rillettes were very different than what I have had other places. More like they were "cooked" and dried out. Reminded me of duck carnitas! Which was fine, but was hoping for that fatty ducky spread I've had other places. Debated 4 stars, but the dessert was very good, the service excellent and just a generally good time so we'll go with 5. Many interesting bottles to purchase, but be aware of the corkage if you are going to enjoy on site. We got a nice bottle to take back to your place to enjoy later. Perfect for that sort of thing.

It's small , dark and cozy and the small tables with velvet chairs are very welcoming. We loved it so much. We came back for a second night. We tried the Maria Rita, which was a reposado tequila with fresh lemon, lime, hibiscus, and habanero, perfect version of a margarita. We also tried blowing smoke up your glass, this was made with Papa Pilar, dark rum, pineapple, fresh lime, house made basil syrup & tiki bitters. Absolutely fabulous. We also tried their deviled eggs each topped with unique toppings like trout row, bacon, and scallions. They were absolutely fabulous. They also have a great selection of charcuterie, Key nuts which you can order with different flavor, profiles, caviar, olives & peppers. Also, the most generous happy hour I've ever heard of from 12 to 6 PM every day. Don't miss out on this little jewel when in Key West.

Service was incredible from start to finish. I appreciate their ipad menus with questions to ask your partner, peruse the menu, and read about the origins. There are plenty of drinks and deserts with double entendre names, they're so fun. Huge positive that they have virgin drinks, and several to choose from. Both deserts we tried were out of the world delicious. The missionary crisp ice cream and flavor was 10/10, no notes to improve.

Honestly too big, even for two. But they were trying to do something different. To know: they do not have a license for hard liquor. A fun spot to have a sweet treat. Maybe don't bring the kids.

    We came across Blackfin Bistro on our last night in Key West. If we had discovered it earlier in…read morethe trip, it likely would have earned a repeat visit. Food Blackfin is a beer and wine restaurant, so no cocktails. I'm not a big drinker, but I do enjoy when a place offers creative house cocktails. Since I'm not much of a wine or beer person either, I was initially a bit disappointed. That changed quickly when I saw they served Stiegl Grapefruit Radler. That alone felt like a small vacation in a glass. The menu offers plenty of choices to satisfy almost any palate. We weren't especially hungry, so we opted for a lighter approach: * Grilled Octopus * Tempura Green Beans * Spinach and Goat Cheese Salad Everything we ordered was very good. The salad was fresh and thoughtfully balanced, with bacon, goat cheese, apple, and honey bringing layers of flavor. It was served with a crusty baguette. We don't normally eat bread, but this was a welcome addition. The grilled octopus was tender, flavorful, and served hot. Always a good sign. The tempura items were nicely executed, lightly battered and not greasy. The green beans were crisp with delicate seasoning, served alongside a balsamic glaze dipping sauce that complemented without overpowering. Service Service was attentive throughout the evening. We never felt forgotten, and we never felt rushed. The pacing was natural and relaxed. Thank you, Gabor. Atmosphere The indoor dining area feels quiet and intimate. The outdoor patio in the back leans more casual. Surrounded by a tall fence and shaded by trees that form natural canopies, it offers a sense of privacy that can be hard to find in many of the more open-air restaurants along Duval Street. Even though this was a lighter, abbreviated meal for us, my sense is that Blackfin would be an excellent choice for a full dinner. We would definitely plan to return on our next visit to Key West.
