Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Key West

We ate here for the second time this evening, having come on our previous visit to Key West last year. Last year one of the members of our party was ill and unable to accompany us, so we were excited but anxious to bring him to Little Pearl, where we’d had an amazing and magical meal the previous year. Incredibly, everything was just as wonderful this year—every course of the dinner was outstanding, the service was personal, warm and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere unforgettable. Thank you so much!

Seated promptly. Waiter came right to the table and took drink order. Both drinks and appetizers delivered immediately. We sat and waited with menus in hand for a lengthy amount of time after finishing appetizers. Unfortunately the waiter was slammed right at 6:30 with to many arrivals. Once dinner order was taken, the entrees were immediately delivered. After finishing the meal, we had to ask for a check. In fairness, I simply believe the waiter was given to many tables all at the same time. I strongly recommend this restaurant. It’s one of Key West’s best in my opinion.

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.

Food was delicious and service was great! Will definitely return on our next trip to Key West.

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.
