About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Café Solé has captured the hearts and palates of locals and visitors lucky enough to discover this culinary gem off the beaten path. By combining his French mastery of sauces with fresh locally caught seafood, John has created a menu unlike any on the island, where every dish is bursting with indescribable flavors. Mutton snapper in pesto and champagne, yellowtail in a beurre blanc of lobster or a rare hog snapper with red pepper zabaglione top a list of nightly specials. As for the classics, the Duck a L'Orange, Rack of Lamb with herb de Province and Lobster Bouillaise are as authentic as you will find this side of Paris. Chef Correa combines the best of both of his worlds, European and Caribbean to win the People's Choice and Best Entree awards at a recent Master Chefs Classic

    Out of all the outstanding food we had while in Key West this is by far my favorite meal. We made a meal of several small plates shared and we practically licked the plates clean!

    Unfortunately the food was not as expected. The appetizers were all consistently mediocre at best. The saganaki dish was cold not properly cooked. One of the dates were hard as a rock and had to be returned. The hog fish entree was decent. Otherwise all of our dishes were bland and not great tasting. Definitely would not go back.

    Lllove the ambience so much we went back a second time. Service is as good as it gets. Great wine list. Unfortunately my run eye was so tough I couldn’t eat it, they gladly changed it for lamb, which was outstanding.
