    Everything was excellent at the lobster House tonight, we had grouper, wedge salad, and an oysters Rockefeller starter. We sat outdoors, and the weather was perfect, most of all our waitress named. Sarah was a wonderful server. She couldn’t have been any better or nicer! We really highly recommend you try AB lobster House !

    Server, Michael, was excellent. Oysters Rockefeller were some of the best we have ever eaten. Snapper on arugula mashed potatoes, yes puréed arugula and taters, was great presentation and fantastic to eat. Bananas Foster a bit sloppy eating outside though. Great view of the marina.

    Perfect until we had the table next to us put someone on a conference call and completely disrupt our dinner. They were drunk. This unfortunately led to a confrontation and uncomfortable for all. Very poor manners. Not the restaurant’s fault at all. But lead to a verbal confrontation.

    This is one of our favorite places to dine in Key West. In fact, we usually book a table on our last night. Service is always great and the food is superb. Love the lobster risotto. Lots of Gluten Free options on the menu.

    Prior to our reservation, we waited at the bar adjacent to the restaurant. The bartender was rude and had an attitude - he didn’t want to even acknowledge or wait on us, as he was engrossed in a conversation with the only other 2 guests at the bar. $50 for 2 drinks, with a poor first impression. Our service in the restaurant was fantastic and the food as well! We always make sure we dine at A&B every visit!!
