It was my wife’s birthday and first time in Key West. Our waiter, Alex was incredible! The entire staff made the occasion very memorable. Our food was excellent, prepared exactly as ordered and the music they played was amazing. We highly recommend Prime 951! Great job!

We celebrated a milestone Birthday with Family and enjoyed the entire experience. The reservation via Open Table was very easy to make from afar and I was able to make note of my Wife’s birthday. We arrived and were seated according to our reservation with Brendan as our Server. Brendan was friendly, informative, and funny as well. The service was attentive and formal, as well as personable. The Menus presented to us included a Happy Birthday message on the first page which was a nice touch. We ordered two Filet Mignons, medium rare with a Bernaise sauce and a Blue Cheese crumble, both were cooked perfectly and were delicious. The toppers were great however the Red Wine Demi glaze served with the Filets was also amazing. We ordered creamy garlic spinach and the truffle Mac and cheese with Gouda as sides, both were delicious. We ordered espresso martinis for dessert and Brendan brought a Key Lime Pie with a Birthday sparkler candle. The entire meal and experience were well worth the price, you have to live a little after all. Enjoy!

Ate at the bar with Peter. He is a real pro…you are lucky to have him on your team! We both had the specials. Bone in filet and shrimp over pasta both excellent.
