    Dinner on the beach without the sand underfoot, and a canopy overhead - it's comfortable Key West! If you're lucky you'll get Branny for a server!

    Stayed at Casa Marina, had our first night dinner at Dorada. Service was fantastic, views and ambiance are good. Very close to the pools, so noise level was moderate. Live entertainment was highly entertaining - Post Modern Jukebox on solo keyboard. You’ll spend more than a few minutes with your head tilted like a dog hearing a whistle trying to figure of how you know that song. Food was good; the empanadas, wings, and pink gulf shrimp were the standouts. We would have ordered two of the empanadas. Cesar salad was ok; not winning any Michelin stars but serviceable. If you’re staying at the resort or anywhere nearby, a great mid/upscale dinner without the pretentiousness of some other KW locales.

    I have posted several reviews and all but one have been fabulous on everything. One review I was a little negative on the lobster ravioli. Well Thank You Dorada, they took that comment to heart and reworded the lobster ravioli. They added more lobster, more ravioli and a super sauce. I tried it last evening and it was wonderful. Big pieces of lobster and a big improvement. Now that’s a good restaurant that’s follows up on the reviews and makes improvements. Looking forward to our next meal there.

    Lovely seaside lunch. A bit breezy. Food was excellent as was service. Beer was not cold enough but server quickly addressed it. Lovely ambience got to admire the work of a sand artist

    We got engaged on the beach here and then did the "Toes in the sand" experience, dining on the beach. The beach is absolutely beautiful. The food, service and everything else, VERY underwhelming. A bit disappointed by this one
