About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
A premier choice for fine dining in Old Town Key West.

Like Charleston and other great ports of the South, Key West offers endless inspiration for chefs. Once a stop on trade routes to the Caribbean, the island developed a signature cuisine that’s practically an open book for flavors. Pair this with the bounty from two bodies of water and the signatures of great chefs who have dedicated time here and a compelling cuisine emerges.

From its inception, Café Marquesa has led the way in expressing a unique, coastal cuisine. Our kitchen combines the finest seafood, meats, and produce with classic preparations and creativity. We offer fine dining with an authentic, homespun essence, like freshly baked bread and desserts made daily in-house. A local favorite for special occasions, and a place to settle into and savor. Every dinner layers memory upon memory. Join us and find yours.

    Service was 100% spot on. Drinks were good (kinda small for the $$). Food was excellent, a bit underseasoned - but delicious! A bit pricey for the very loud environment. Expected a quiet, couples dinner. Staff was apologetic for noise level - I don’t think the large table was aware of their environment. Overall very good.

    While the restaurant did not have the bottle of wine we selected from their wine list nor did they have the swordfish available, the waitress provided beautiful substitute recommendations that were perfectly paired.

    ended up with a staple in my food, they comped dessert and appetizer but ruined the experience, and was hard to get my waiter attention most of the time
