   The brisket Mac and cheese as an appetizer was SO good. We then had the Caesar and split the fish tacos. Also very delicious. Would totally recommend checking this restaurant out!

   This was our third visit to First Flight as my wife as I were celebrating our return to Key West. Every aspect of our dinner was fantastic including the wonderful presentation, taste and quantity of the food, our attentive and friendly waitress and the ambiance of your courtyard. I will mention, however, that as soon as my red snapper was served, my dish was immediately invaded by flies. I do not perceive this as a fault on your part, and it was interesting in that neither my wife’s scallops nor our Brussel sprouts were touched, but the snapper was clearly a target. Nonetheless, our waitress immediately addressed the issues by offering us a secluded table inside. Dinner, from then on, was a total delight and the snapper was absolutely delicious. We have recommended First Flight to all of our friends traveling to Key West, and none have been disappointed. All the Best, Mark Pachuta

   Food was nice. We ended up being the lost table so service took awhile until we finally asked for a waiter. Once that was sorted out things got significantly better. Shaded courtyard is beautiful and lovely at night.

   Limited menu. Tuna was very good. Like most places in key west, high priced, rather average quality.

   We’ve always really enjoyed coming in the first place. The outdoor dining area is beautiful and the service is usually very attentive. The food has been mostly excellent as well unfortunately, while dining last night, though our servers were excellent, the food was subpar. the burger was dry, roll, stale. The brisket mac & cheese was flavorless, the croutons on the salad, stale. The rest of the food was just OK. It felt bad to spend $200 and come away dissatisfied. The restaurant was kind enough to remove 10% from the overall bill, which was appreciated. I would still recommend the restaurant and would give it another chance.

    We ate early at 630 and had a great server. The beer flights were well priced and good variety . The freah catch of the day was amazing. Didn't like key lime pie with chocolate crust but everything else was top notch.

    Beautiful outdoor seating, noisy due to live music upstairs and also at Garbo’s across Caroline Street so it was noisy. Also if the fans were on I think the flies would have been less of an annoyance. For appetizers we got the tuna poke, the Brussels sprouts, and the deviled eggs. All were delicious; however, the fried pieces of peppers alongside the deviled eggs were lousy… greasy and almost 100% coating with nothing inside. The Brussels sprouts were so good though… sweet, nutty, perfectly cooked. I would definitely have those again! The poke was also very good, obviously the tuna was fresh and the preparation was spicy. For entrees we had fish tacos, swordfish, a burger, and the seared tuna. The fish tacos were meh, but everything else was very impressive. They did a beautiful job cooking the swordfish. The tuna was so soft and buttery, and the zucchini/squash side was perfect. The burger is huge and juicy, but the onion ring had that terrible greasy batter coating like what came with the deviled eggs so my advice is to ask to have the onion ring s on the side or, even better, left off the plate entirely. We are locals so will be back again, as they are extremely dog friendly and the service was absolutely perfect.

    We ate at 915 one of their sister restaurants and it was delish so we tried this one. Shrimp was rubbery, pork was dry and rice was under cooked and crunchy. Disappointed in the food but patio was nice.

    So sorry for the delayed response. Had dinner with family on Feb 28th. What a magical place, the patio is beautiful. Everything from the drinks (great Margaritas) appetizers to entrees was amazing. Fish tacos so fresh and seasoned well. Caribbean pork was so good, tender and the spices were fantastic. The staff was exceptional. Everyone made sure we had our drinks and food and appreciate checking back to see if we needed anything. Great job!

    Overall it was just ok. The ambiance and service were great. Food was just ok. Shrimp cocktail appetizer was over cooked and the shrimp were small. Tuna was ok and the burger was pretty good. The prices for the entrees rivaled that of a fine dining restaurant, which this was not. The bathroom was gross. When you have some menu items that are just shy of $100, have some clean bathrooms.

    The meal, service and outdoor dining were wonderful. But the restrooms….absolutely disgusting! With all the money flowing through the restaurant they should be able to afford a decent makeover and keep them spotless and well stocked with soap and towels.

    Had the wings and the blackened grouper. The wings were okay but the grouper was fantastic. Don’t think they can make up their mind if they want to be a bar restaurant or an upscale one. Prices and some of the food is there for an upscale but the atmosphere and staff are not.

    Where do I start. The restaurant was old and dirty. We were seated on the second floor having to climb old steps that were arrow and uneven. The food was horrible. Me and my friend both ordered salads. Neither came with enough dressing to tie the ingredients together. The service was horrible. Our waiter was waiting on close to 7 tables. He never checked back on us once. I ordered a burger medium rare. It came rare with only to outside browned.
