Was in town for the week and was looking for a spot to watch my team - this came up as the Browns Backer Bar. The man who ran the backer part was fun and offer shirts for sale and a charity raffle to supply local soup kitchen - all really good things. The place however did not offer any game day specials, just their brunch menu and then happy hour which started at 3. Football game starts at 1 and most of us pregame so we arrive at noon to get our drink on. When asked to substitute something on the menu, it was a no go. I got a cheese dish and it came out on a skillet that was pulled straight out of the oven, making the cheese and pan extremely hot to handle. By the time things cooled a bit, they cheese was chewy. The bread rolls that came with it were nothing special and tasted stale. Totally not worth the $18 I paid for it. We did get the jalapeño margarita- that was really good. They only been a backer bar for a few years but they should offer specials like they do in the local home towns. Left before the end of the game to go get food elsewhere. read more

Stopped in while in town and watched the Spain vs Austria game here. The good news was that happy hour started at the same time as the game (3pm). Beers were tasty and cold. Service was warm and friendly. The small bites we tried were delicious. read more

Amazing place to be honest very nice and friendly. The bar tender was great and our server was also great told us about a secret dinner that was not on the menu and it was really awesome and made sense to order it as we are 3 so made complete sense to share the meal 3 ways and wow what a meal. Even the busboy was great a super friendly person. Come eat here if you're in the keys Florida definitely a good spot. read more

Went here on a cruise. I had looked up for some places to eat & this is the one we wanted to try. Upon arrival the restaurant was closed! My was family questioned my planning, but I had gotten the info off google. I read the paper on the door entrance stating they were closed & would reopen at 4pm. Four is when the boat leaves, why would a place of business close when tourists are in town to spend $$ & open when we leave?? We experienced this too often in Key West. First and last time I will visit a place that doesn't want my business. The bar was open, but to sit outside in the heat, pass! SAD! read more

The food was AMAZING!!! The steak was cooked to perfection! Key lime pie was so fresh and homemade. Cece our server was tentative, personal, and gave us great recommendations! Highly recommend read more

Do not order the Catch of the Day. This evening my family and I had dinner at Viva Argentinian Steakhouse. We've dined here several times, are part-time locals, and have always returned because the food has typically been well prepared. Tonight, however, I ordered the Catch of the Day (grouper), and it was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. The first piece of fish was so overcooked it was hard as a rock. It was nearly impossible to cut with a knife. I sent it back. The replacement came out raw in the center. At that point, my family had already finished their meals, and I didn't want them waiting while the kitchen attempted a third piece of fish, so I told the server I no longer wanted it. As we waited for the check, another plate of fish was brought to the table. I again explained that I didn't want it. That's when the manager came over and told us he had it cooked some more and that we had only two options: eat it or take it home--but either way, we were paying for it. He said the restaurant had already spent money on the fish and added, "This isn't a free dinner." That comment was astonishing. No one was asking for a free dinner. I simply expected not to be charged for an entrée that was first inedible because it was severely overcooked, then undercooked, and ultimately never eaten - see photos of final serving. We paid the bill, left the untouched fish behind, and left disappointed. Based on this experience, I would strongly recommend avoiding the Catch of the Day. The texture of the fish in the photos was stringy and rubbery rather than flaky, raising serious questions about its quality and preparation. Whether it was fresh or not, it certainly wasn't prepared to an acceptable standard. The food was disappointing and the manager's response was even more so. A restaurant's true measure isn't how it handles perfect meals--it's how it handles mistakes. read more

Great spot, highly recommend adding this to your dinner plans in key west! Delicious drinks (especially the watermelon basil martini), great menu and great service. Went into our dinner with the intention of getting steak however when we saw the wonderful menu options which included an amazing chicken risotto and seafood options, we were pleasantly surprised! read more

We came here to celebrate our birthdays my mom and I. We truly enjoyed something different on the strip. It was not expensive in budget and yet we had a great time, delicious food, and great people. I had no complaints. We even had great outdoor seating in such cute decor with even better music. read more

Why go to an Argentinian steakhouse just to have a key lime pie and prosecco? Why not? There's no law! And the outdoor seating looked inviting and offered a break from walking and views of lively Duval street. The pie was very good with slightly tangy lime, a thick graham crust, and decorated with powdered sugar, whipped cream and a fruit sauce. Not that meringue crap that seems to be the fashion in Key West. The prosecco was served in an authentic champagne flute, cold and bubbly, with the remainder in the small bottle enough for a second glass. I stayed for a while, checked on by the waiter once or twice, with no pressure to order more or leave, read, watched the street scene, and perused the menu. A very interesting menu, heavy on the steaks of course (and not outrageously priced as far as steaks go) but with lots of other offerings including seafood and vegetarian. And many interesting cocktails, standards and unique. Unlike most Argentinian steakhouses this is not the kind where they keep bringing trays of various meats around which you can choose to sample or not. I'm not into that. It's more of the typical dining experience of appetizers, entrees, and so on. Everything appealed and I would have loved to have a meal here but the timing wasn't right and I had other plans. read more

Sensational place. Amazing vibes and good time! Definitely the place for steak lovers! The drinks are on point too. Recommend the Key Lime Martini which tastes just like key lime pie! The coconut shrimp was good. The sauce served with it was tasty but wish they put it in a serving cup instead of splattered on the plate under the shrimp. The steak ribeye sammich was perfectly done with fries. The skirt steak was delicious too with mixed veggies and potatoes. Key lime pie here is the best we had since we been here. Fresh and delicious. Service was excellent! Our waitress was so nice and welcoming. Great place to go, reservations are needed if you don't wanna wait read more

Grouper sandwich, not fresh. No water refill...blasé at best! Musician is good and fun!

Ok what an amazing place. The ribeye was phenomenal. Caesar, our server professional and informative and handsome... Gabrielle, the manager Came over twice to make sure we were good. Great customer service and he has a passion for pleasing people. So authentic and sincere, great Argentina flavor, and swagger. I will definitely come back over and over again... Ambience, breeze, and music all match . read more

Food and service were not good - I ordered the filet and it left a ton to be desired (portions that you just couldn't chew anymore), but don't worry the waiter was sorry it wasn't to our liking . I searched for a manager, but I don't think there was one there. Too many options in this area of Key West - find another one. Overpriced and poor quality. read more

We ended up here as there was no seating over at Old Towne Tavern and it was chilly outside. Sat inside at the bar. Bartender (cannot remember her name sorry) was so sweet and attentive. Ordered a fish sandwich which was so beyond flavorful. The house salad while a nice size and fresh was only ok. Ranch dressing was over abundant and not tasty. Side of roasted carrots very good. Pricing not too bad for Key West and atmosphere was fun. Nice find for us. Would return. read more

What a shocker.... Was not prepared for how good the food tasted. Steak tacos excellent, empanadas excellent.... Even fries were good Thought this was a dive bar taco place and it was just the opposite. read more

Ordered several items to get a good feel for the menu. The lemon garlic mussels were excellent -- easily the highlight of the meal (5/5). Flavorful and well prepared. Unfortunately, the Caesar salad was disappointing. The lettuce was brown, so I didn't eat it (1/5). The ribeye was also a letdown. It arrived overcooked and dry, not what you expect from a steakhouse (1/5). The mashed potatoes and carrots were solid (4/5). Service significantly impacted the experience. We waited 35 minutes for our food, and when it arrived the appetizer, salad, and entrée all came out at the same time. After finishing, our plates were cleared but we then waited another 20 minutes for the check before I finally had to get up and ask for it. Overall, between the food execution and the service delays, the experience fell short. There are far better options on the island. read more

Made a reservation online sat immediately to wait 10+ mins for someone to come out and once he did he asked if we had been waiting a while "yes" he said he was told to come to us not welcoming at all! We ordered our drinks which I assumed was a happy hour but it was not apparently. We ordered our food, the steak left a lot to be desired for a $50 filet it should be tender and not pulling pieces out of your mouth. When the waiter FINALLY came back to check on us asked my husband how was the steak he said "it's okay, not much" the waiter said I'm sorry I should have check on you 2 bites in and something along the lines of they tell us what to do in this situation and went to the bartender possibly a manager but nothing was done but offer us a key lime pie. Not expecting anything free but also maybe take the salad (8.00) or something off but they could have cared less.. spend your $$ somewhere else, sit at the bar (which apparently is only where happy hour is offered) or be sure not to eat more than 2 bites if you are not happy even if no one comes back to check in on you! read more
