   We have eaten at Cafe Marquesa on every trip to Key West over the last few years, and every single time I am blown away at how fantastic the food is. For the last couple of years we eat here twice during our trip, and there’s a simple reason, it is in my opinion, the best restaurant in Key West. Chef Graham recognized us from our trip last year and it made for our best experience yet. The staff is highly professional, offers excellent recommendations, and really does it right. We had Barbecue Baked Oysters( unbelievable), Crispy Pork Osso Buco, and Blackened Grouper. Each was just phenomenal! For dessert we had the Beignets, which were light, fluffy and just out of this world. A few days later, we had the Grilled Berkshire pork chop, She Crab soup, and Blackened Grouper again… all were just out of this world. Thank you Chef Graham and staff, we will be back soon!

   Diana took great care of us and took the time to read the comments that we left on open table. This has been the best fine dining experience that we have had here in Key West. Highly recommend Cafe Marquesa and in particular the She Crab Soup and Foie Gras appetizers and the Beignets for dessert! Thanks for a memorable experience and can’t wait to come back on our next visit. Carolina and Hal

   The food was wonderful! I had the Bib salad and Crispy Pork Osso Bucco. It is now my favorite meal of all time. The service was great as was the ambiance. The food is pricey, but I would say it was worth it. So, so good!

   Food was expensive but worth it, in my opinion. We did the 6 course tasting menu… so delicious. The crab soup had the best flavor. Foie Gras was delicious. Caviar on top of grouper dish was our favorite. We couldn’t decide which of the dessert trio we liked best.

    Cafe Marquesa is a beautiful restaurant with a wonderful staff and chef. The popularity dictates getting a reservation well in advance. The food cant be topped. The background noise level can be loud and less than peaceful because the dining room is not large in space. We only wish our nearby tablemates were more mindful at how much their voices projected to others. This was probably more of an isolated case than the norm. We will definitely go there anytime we are in Key West and you should as well!

    Second night in a row at Cafe Marquesa . . most enjoyable dining experience in years. Lamb Carpaccio, Crispy Pork Osso Buco, Seared Black Grouper are all indescribably delicious . . so good you must try them for yourself. Beignets that are lighter than air and Key Lime Pie that’s heavenly. Totally wonderful. You will be amazed !

    Great service from Valentina! Filet Oscar top notch. Loved the Lobster risotto with caviar topper. Same Amazing chef from 10 years ago. Custom requests accepted. She Crab is better than any bisque we have ever had. Must get one order of Beignets to share as they are way better than NOLA has. French pastry style that’s something you won’t forget. 1 of my Top 3 restaurants of my life so far.

    Overall very disappointing. We've been there many times in the past. Always enjoyed it. This time , way overpriced, way oversold how good food would be. Portions small for the price charged. Seated in a new additional dining room, not the expected ambiance. Disappointing. $125 for a fillet not worth it plus mix up on delivery 1 rate one medium, server mixed them up. For the price should have been perfection. Will no longer recommend this place to anyone.

    Arguably one of the top 5 meals of my life. Spent weeks studying the menu prior to my KW trip but couldn’t decide between the multiple appetizers and main courses. Considered booking 2 nites in a row. Fortunately server mentioned a tasting menu with wine pairings that hit all my favorites on the menu- except the lamb carpaccio. My Charleston roots questioned the “ best ever “ she crab claim but it was absolutely divine. Foie Gras/ again best ever and paired with a gran Marnier shake. An amazing experience I would travel all the way back to Key West just to dine there - and I will book 2 nites.

    We came to Cafe Marquesa almost 10 years ago…and interestingly were seated (last night) exactly where we had been seated those many years ago. The food, service, ambience is certainly the best we’ve ever experienced in Key West.

    Cafe Marquesa never disappoints. For as many years as I can remember, we always return to the oasis that Cafe Marquesa has become. The welcoming and attentive staff, the elegant atmosphere (Key West style, of course), the kitchen's ability to outdo itself time and time again, and the satisfaction from the cocktails to the appetizers to the entrees and to the desserts (always beignets for me, please). Cafe Marquesa always feels like home ... especially since we usually stay next door at The Marquesa Hotel! A must for any Key West trip, whether it is your first time or your hundredth time!
