About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Café Solé has captured the hearts and palates of locals and visitors lucky enough to discover this culinary gem off the beaten path. By combining his French mastery of sauces with fresh locally caught seafood, John has created a menu unlike any on the island, where every dish is bursting with indescribable flavors. Mutton snapper in pesto and champagne, yellowtail in a beurre blanc of lobster or a rare hog snapper with red pepper zabaglione top a list of nightly specials. As for the classics, the Duck a L'Orange, Rack of Lamb with herb de Province and Lobster Bouillaise are as authentic as you will find this side of Paris. Chef Correa combines the best of both of his worlds, European and Caribbean to win the People's Choice and Best Entree awards at a recent Master Chefs Classic

    Excellent food and service. The cheese board was great. They know how to properly prepare fish here. Grouper was wonderful as was the hogfish. The sides included with both dishes were phenomenal. The ambiance was wonderful. Cozy, intimate and very relaxed. Our server was a delight. We will be back! 5 stars.

    We've dined here several times and look forward to returning. Food was great as was the service by Max, our waiter. He made sure all our needs were met and he was attentive without being overbearing. However, there was a group of obnoxious people (3 loud women and their companions) near us that made sure the entire restaurant knew their every thought and opinion. Trailer trash. Rather than dining quietly, they had to exaggerate all their mannerisms and talk over everyone in the restaurant. Next time we'll ask to be moved.

    Excellent food with surprising accompaniments that were outstanding. Perfect for date night or just for food lovers. No cocktail no problem. You will be very full after this meal.

    This is the best restaurant in Key West - we are regulars and love the Caesar salad, beet and goat cheese salad, escargot, conch ceviche and the Hogfish entree - superb food, service and unbelievably charming Key West atmosphere - every server is so conscientious and friendly - the owner is as well!

    We celebrated our 20th anniversary at Cafe Sole’. Our server, Max was wonderful and, made knowledgeable recommendations for wine, as well as entrees. The food was prepared perfectly and it was delicious! It was a perfect evening, except….. Seated next to us were two females. They were celebrating one of their birthdays and, they were sure the whole area knew it. They were FaceTiming friends and loudly sharing plans for the evening. Their choice of language was appalling and, they showed no effort to use more lady like language. While their behavior was lacking in class, I was disappointed that management didn’t intervene. Asking patrons to silence cell phones seems like a standard in nicer restaurants. And the language? Disgusting!

    Great food as always. Unfortunately, the server was quite rude. I would still go back because this is the first time I have had a bad experience here.
