About the restaurant
Chef Marek is inspired by the pizzerias of New York, and he is bringing that inspiration to you to enjoy in the heart of the local scene in Key West, the White Street District. We also have a selection of unique TAPAS s to enjoy. So please join us for a special evening of relaxation with cold beer, fine wine, and friends old and new enjoying great pizza, unique small plates, and salads. A casual experience with gourmet food in a century old house that some say may have a ghost or two. Please make a reservation as space is limited and we want everyone to enjoy Key West's latest addition to the dining scene. Rock n roll fans step to the front with your munchies.

This was our first visit, but will not be our last! We had the grilled shrimp pizza and the sweet sausage pizza. Both were superb! Viktor was very attentive and helpful. We had such a nice evening and will definitely do it again!

About the restaurant
Key West seafood restaurant in the heart of old town on Petronia. The menu is kept small so that everything is nice and fresh for you. Yellowtail snapper, fish of the day, Key West pink shrimp, and seafood medley highlight the menu.
Deviled Eggs topped with Scallops, Shrimp Mango Toast and Crispy Pork Belly Croustinis tantalize the pallet. Beef stroganoff made with certified black angus beef is a favorite.

Relaxing, unpretentious, and romantic.
Seating is very limited.
24 Hour Cancellation window.
For the consideration of our guests, we do not accept parties over the size of six (6).
We offer a 6 pm and an 8 pm seating.
BEER AND WINE AVAILABLE.
No Children's menu available.

About the restaurant
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

My girlfriend and I decided last minute to have a nice dinner together on our last night in town and found Atlas. We both came away thinking it was the best meal we’ve ever had in the keys. Can’t wait to go back in the future!

About the restaurant
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.

We heard from several locals that this was the place to go for a fine meal and it did not disappoint. We did the chef’s tasting menu and it was amazing…pork empanadas, she crab soup, seared tuna, scallops, oysters, file, and three desserts. Each course was beautifully paired with other ingredients. For instance, the scallop came with pork belly with semi glaze and a salad. I’m not usually a pork belly fan but this was perfectly cooked and the semi glaze would make a shoe taste good! All the staff were attentive but not hovering and Luke took very good care of us. We were three people celebrating our birthdays and they made us feel very special. Highly recommend!!
