    Food, service, ambience, all fabulous. Highly recommend this restaurant. I had the duck, which was superb, my husband had the crab cakes which were equally delicious. They have a key lime martini that should not be missed if you like key lime pie. We stayed after dinner for the entertaining in the bar area which was also top notch.

    Breakfast was really good. It's fairly basic really good breakfast food. It is hands down one of the beat breakfast spots in Key West! The staff is amazing. We will be back.

    Two guests and I had a wonderful dinner at La Te Da. The ambiance is incredible and truly a class experience. Our waiter Paul, truly a seasoned and professional server. The food was perfect. We shared a couple starters of GIANT shrimp. One of my guests had a filet Mignon, one the yellowtail and I had the catch of the day, a beautiful piece of salmon prepared perfectly. Everything was delicious. Our drinks came quickly and Paul was attentive to the fact that we were going upstairs to the Cabaret to see Christopher Peterson's show, Eyecons at 9:00. We are all long time locals of many decades each. We couldn't have been happier with the whole experience . Originally met a person at the bar from Michigan and one from NY, who were remorseful that it was their last day, because of how much they enjoyed not only Key West but their several visits to La Te Da. Do not miss going there! Besides all the kudos to the restaurant, ambiance and staff, I need to mention our experience we had at the Cabaret up stairs. This was my third time seeing the show in several years. It was the first time for my two guests. It was a riot. He is very talented, funny, surprising and weaves a wonderful story about the characters and his own life. He is a female impersonator who talks, sings etc. with his own voice, no pantomime. Interestingly, he does all his costume changes on stage as he narrates the story. Do not miss his show, Eyecons!!! It's unique. As we exited down the stairs, the piano bar area was filled with happy revelers, and the dance bar was filled with people having the time of their life. You need to visit La Te Da when in Key West.

    The food here is outstanding. My husband has talked for a year about the Christopher Shrimp appetizer. We were back in Key West and I got a reservation for his birthday. The Shrimp Scampi and Seafood Pasta entrees were just as good. Don’t forget to finish with a slice of Key Line pie. He keeps asking me if we can go back one more time before we leave this trip. We highly recommend.

    We loved everything about La Te Da … the ambiance, the people, and the food - all amazing. We ordered the duck and the salmon special. Both were delicious. I love duck and I am very selective how it is cooked and tasted. This was the best duck I have ever had … crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with an orange glaze that was wonderful. We loved our drinks too … I recommend the La Te Da punch! The owner, Christopher, stopped by our table - and other tables - and was gracious and charming. The wait staff were all wonderful and seemed happy to be there too. Food, drink and service were all A+ (& I rarely give reviews). Lots of locals visit here as well. I will definitely be back - it’s now my favorite restaurant in Key West!

    Wonderful dinner. Christopher's shrimp and beef carpaccio were great. Bacon maple brie is a delight. Service was very attentive as usual. Our duck and beef filets were cooked perfectly. This is my go to restaurant. Every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter brunch for 6 years now. The best laid back fine dining in Key West.

    The venue is beautiful but we were very disappointed overall. We were seated upstairs and it took our server 30 minutes to come get our drink order. Service continued to be slow. When our entrees arrived, it was clear to us that they made a mistake with one of our entrees, yet the server insisted it was the right order and would not take it back.

    La Te Dah is a MUST to dine at when in Key West. The atmosphere is welcoming and charming. The food is succulent and well prepared. It is a little pricey but worth every penny. The service was attentive to the needs/desires of the diners. Do NOT pass it up when in Key West!

    I had been searching for 10 days to find a chef that knew how to make crab cakes..and I found him at La Te Da. No fillers, just lump crab. There was a trio who performed to our surprise which enhanced the experience. But if you are looking for $20 meal keep looking! I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    Seated outside in covered pavilion area. Greeted promptly by friendly staff, server introduced himself shortly thereafter. Menu was somewhat limited but IMO that’s often an indicator of better preparation. Bread served was fresh, crusty & excellent. Lobster bisque, Caesar salad & orange glazed duck were our choices. Bisque was delicious, creamy but not overly thickened. Caesar was better than average. Duck was disappointing, severely over cooked & dry. Ambient noise level was reasonable but a “loud talker” at an adjacent four-top made our conversations difficult.
