   The best group Oscar you will ever have- been getting it for the last 15 years- my wife strongly recommends the snapper menuire (sic). Ask for a porch table to enjoy the harbor view and more.

   Food was delicious and service was good. While they honored the outdoor seating request, the table was next to the door and the service set up area.

   We had really been looking forward to coming back after our previous dining experience here. Unfortunately, after this experience, we will not be back. We requested a table for 5 and let the restaurant know that it was for a birthday celebration. A 21st birthday at that. To start the 5 of us were seated at a 4 top with an extra chair added, which was very cramped and uncomfortable for 5 adults. We could barely fit the bread and butter on the table and there was certainly no room for us to order the sides that we wanted to share. The restaurant wasn't that busy and there were plenty of available six tops set and no one sat at them during our entire meal. Not what you would expect from a restaurant that touts itself as a fine dining establishment. The appetizers were delicious and we had a round of cocktails and probably would have had 2 had our server come to check on us. When she finally did come back we asked for a wine list and ordered wine, which was not brought out until we were almost done with our entrees. Had she come to check on us, I would have sent my lobster back which was cold, completely overcooked, and chewy. Although everyone else enjoyed theirs, I think I was just unlucky. We ordered dessert and I was hoping there would at least be a candle on it for my daughter's birthday -( the server even commented "Happy Birthday" when she checked her ID and saw she had just turned 21 and saw the birthday cards ) but there was nothing. Overall a very disappointing experience.

   We were looking forward to this meal from a friend's recommendation, but we're not nearly as impressed as we expected to be. The food was good, the service was ok, and the waterside view nice! For the price I guess we were just a little disappointed. Maybe a bit overhyped. Also, we were spoiled the night before because we ate at La Te Da and it was exquisite (for the same pricey price).

   Food is outstanding. Good service. Was a little windy outside and we finally notice that we could roll down the clear wind guards, it would have been nice had we known that a little earlier but didn’t affect our evening. Bar is so nice and had some nice music playing. Great atmosphere, reminds me of where you would think Frank Sinatra would hang out.

   Delicious from the Mango Mojito to the lobster tail. The oysters Rockefeller was outstanding. Lovely atmosphere and upscale dining but not pretentious. Vacation casual attire is the norm. Don’t miss this treasure and treat.

    Food portion was very small, very expensive, very overrated. We ate 2 baskets of rolls and my son bought a sandwich when we left the restaurant because he was hungry, he is 5’11 and weighs 161lbs. We are used to fine dining, and we know what to expect. A + B Lobster will not be a place I would recommend to friends and family. It is a tourist trap. $56 for a tiny lobster tail, 8 green beans and a table spoon size portion of mashed potatoes is not a great meal to me. There are so many other great places to eat in Key West.

    We went all out! Lobster bisque was rich, creamy with enough lobster. King Crab legs were single split and a very good size, taste was phenomenal. We weren’t sure about ordering the Ribeye but this was very tasty and could cut it with a butter knife!!! I would only order this steak rare!!! If you want it cooked more order a different steak! Seriously. Ask for a little drawn butter to drizzle over the steak WOW!!! The garlic butter that came with it was a little overpowering and hid the steak flavor. Oh and the view from outside in front at sunset was a huge bonus!!! Ya

    We are local residents and have dined here for many times over the years. While the waiter was great last evening the food quality had fallen off dramatically and the markup on the wine list was way way beyond normal. We won’t be back anytime soon.

    Service was terrible. An older couple at another table ordered a bottle of wine and our waiter focused on them all evening . Had to ask for another beverage after being empty for 20 minutes then had to wait another 20 plus minutes for the beverage all while he brought out the other couples bottle who we ordered well before them . Then we watch him barley leave that table as we’re sitting there with no drinks Finally one was brought then the food arrived cold obviously because we were neglected. Steak quality was what you would find at an outback steak house for 5 times the price the potatoes were something you could by frozen from Publix. I couldn’t finish the meal because it wasn’t enjoyable at all

    It took over an hour to receive our entrees. The special wasn't good, the sauce was more like a hollandaise or gravy, so thick. The shrimp and lobster was cold. We told the server, and she didn't off anything to make it right. For a $300 bill this was not worth it. The food was bland. I do not recommend anyone to dine there.

    We had dinner reservations and was seated promptly. The host who seated us name Michelle was excellent. I say that because I am a women of size and the table we were being seated had armed chairs. She immediately recognized that it might possibly be an issue for me. Before I said something she quietly let me know she would be changing my chair. I was so very grateful for that. Jade our server was very pleasant as well and offered on time service. I ordered the Caribbean lobster Oscar. It could have been better but it wasn’t bad. My husband ordered the Caribbean lobster tail and he thoroughly enjoyed his. It’s pretty loud because it is tight quarters but the ambience is okay. The value for the meal was competitive.

    Decided to wait for outside table in bar. Bar very nice, not loud, friendly patrons and staff. Only problem was the woman that said she came in and called us 3 times must have poor eyesore and a whisper as we waited much longer than we should have. Bar was not busy so pretty darned hard to miss us. Aside for the long wait where I obviously went up and asked what was going in to finally get seated immediately the service was impeccable. This is a fine dining restaurant although there were still a few rough groups around. Our service was fast and friendly. Food came out at a good pace and was stellar. We had oysters Rockefeller and a prawn cocktail, both very good. Then the lobster Oscar for dinner. Although I felt the lobster was a little over cooked, with the topping and accompanying side it was a very good dinner. Although pretty full we had to try their key lime pie and bananas foster. Both were excellent! Overall a lovely evening.
