   The food was delicious, and portions were perfectly satisfying. Our waiter, Wilson, was very attentive and nice. It's pricey, but worth the money.

   The waitstaff was very attentive. Our thanksgiving dinner was nicely presented and quite tasty-very tender turkey. The she crab soup was delicious,as always. It was a lovely atmosphere for thanksgiving away from home. The southern chocolate cobbler was a big hit!

   Excellent dinner. Excellent service. All started with their She Crab Soup which was phenomenal. Two had swordfish and loved it. One had the veal chop and the other had the filet oscar. All first rate. Desserts were wonderful. James was our waiter and he was a real pro.

   The matre di was not at all pleasant when I asked for a table other than the one he took us to. The table he took us to was facing the opening to the kitchen where waitstaff enter and come out. There were tables for two at the front of the restaurant. When I suggested a table he said rudely , “in the front?” When we left he passed us without thanking us or saying anything. The waiter was efficient but hurried, spilled water he was pouring in my glass. Having been to cafe marquesa numerous times I was disappointed in tonight’s experience.

   Sat at the bar and perused the extensive wine list and settled on Forman 2018 Cabernet. This small production wine is a favorite and shows the characteristics of this list and the experience in general. Food was exceptional.

   Somewhat disappointed. I have been wanting to try this restaurant for some time, so we finally did during our last visit. We arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservation and they were able to seat us, so that was great. I had planned this dinner because it was our last night in Key West and I thought it would be a great way for my husband and I to end our month stay. I knew the restaurant was pricey, but was expecting an experience and I am willing to pay a little more for that. Unfortunately, I felt very rushed. My husband and I each had a Cosmo, along with an appetizer and entree. I also had a glass of wine with dinner. Our appetizers arrived shortly after our Cosmos and our entrees arrived just as we were finishing our appetizers. I barely had enough time to gulp down my Cosmo in order to have a glass of wine with my dinner. Both entrees were very good, but very small in size. My biggest complaint is that we were seated and had our bill within 1 hour. Not the experience I was looking for with a bill that was $290.00 before gratuity.

    Fabulously outstanding! Kyle was so efficient and pleasant, making great recommendations and answering all questions we had. The food was perfectly prepared and one of the chefs provided quality control before delivering each item from the kitchen. Very impressive. Beautiful decor and art. It was very quiet when we first were seated and a table of 6 women sat and what was left of a quiet meal was gone!

    It was a great surprise. We come to Key West a few times a year. We have tried many places and have our favorites. Cafe Marquesa has been added to the list. Service was outstanding and the food was world class. My wife has allergies and they were very accommodating. The vibe is awesome as well. We live just outside NYC and go in regularly to eat and this ranks up there with some of NYC Best. Looking forward to our next trip down to Key West!

    Didn’t care for Marquesa’s version of swordfish. Didn’t agree with me. Should have had the blackened grouper which was excellent. Waiter disappeared at the end of meal.

    Birthday and anniversary. Had high hopes. Got great reviews but heard it had changed ownership and lost chef. Well, the food was ok. Very limited if you don’t like seafood or are a vegetarian. Starters are good. Main entrees need work. Pork was bland. Definitely not 4/5 star worthy. Probably won’t go back. $50 corkage too! Wowza.

    Service was great, almost too good….quick to clear plates when not quite finished or still chewing the last bite. The foie gras was AMAZING!! The swordfish was perfectly cooked. Osso bucco was okay, risotto that came with iit was better.

    Great service, presentation of food was excellent. I had the filet Oscar which was very well cooked - one of the best filets I have had in a long time. My partner had the pork Osso Bucco which he said was a little dry. The service was exemplary. It was a very nice meal but definitely on the expensive side so not a good value option.
