Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Long Key

Very cute restaurant right in the heart of Key West. The server was attentive. The food was very good. We had lobster pasta, seared tuna, and burrata salad as appetizer. Highly recommend to try this place if you in Keys.

For a beautiful and satisfying fine dining experience, Latitudes on Sunset Key, FL is a must. Be warned, you must make reservations well in advance! But this speaks to the amazing overall experience provided. The dining adventure starts off with a water taxi ride from the marina in Key West at the very end of Front Street to the unique island of Sunset Key. If you book for dinner, try to reserve a time to catch the sunset...absolutely mesmerizing. The atmosphere of Latitudes with its beautiful nod to an era of exquisite woodwork, built ins and unique details at every turn gives one a feeling of stepping into a time of elegant island dining. Whether you dine on the expansive outdoor patio surrounded by tropical flora and evening torches (does not detract from the view) or inside with large windows framing an expansive view of the beach, sea & horizon, the settings are comfortably elegant. The staff provided a supportive and complete experience. Jerry was at the host stand and, even though there was a flurry of activity, he orchestrated our table assignment like the conductor of a symphony. Our table glistened with the silver & glass atop a white linen cloth. Our waitperson, Kim, was fluid in covering her tables & took very good care of us. Additional waitstaff were at our table to refill water & deliver food. We started with a cocktail & a special request mocktail which the bartender made perfectly. We enjoyed the lobster bisque (so rich & satisfying). I had the yellowtail snapper (luscious) & my husband the braised spareribs (so tender and satisfying). We had little room for anything else but finished our meal by sharing a fresh piece of key lime pie with the best merengue crown! We cannot wait to return to Latitudes to dine...lunch & dinner...with friends. For a memorable dining experience - especially to celebrate a special occasion, an intimate meal or group/family gathering, we highly recommend Latitudes on Sunset Key.

A wonderful experience at Four Marlins. The view was incredible, the food was great, and the staff was amazing. Bravin, the manager, stopped by our table more than once. He refilled our water and asked about our day. In addition, we observed him bussing tables, seating guests, and helping his staff with a variety of tasks. Such a breath of fresh air to see management stepping in and helping their employees. An excellent example of a true leader, in the trenches with his people.

Although A&B prices rival high-end restaurants in NYC or SF, we always return because their Maine lobster and steak dishes, service and ambience (sitting outside overlooking the harbor with warm sea breezes) rival any places we’ve ever eaten. And if you’ve never seen or tried a 5lb Maine lobster, visit in May or November and you may get lucky.

Wow.. unique culinary Delight. The misses had “Mama’s Stew”… a seafood medley with a coconut and (dash of curry) broth.. was Incredible!! I had the AiRLINE Chicken breast… delicious and the rizzoto with Chunks of delicious Ham and baby asparagus which also amazing. No desert we were to Full. Drinks are a generous poor too. A+ Note: upstairs is same menu, rooftop called “On the Five” no reservations needed there. Definitely need for downstairs.
