This was a delightful place to sit on the outside deck area and watch people walk up and down Duval street. Our crab cake appetizer was savory, crunchy on the outside and delicious. Our dinners were good. My scallops were a tad over seared and tasted burnt on some bites, but the inside was great. The asparagus was perfect. The drinks were refreshing. The ambiance was the BEST!!! We asked the server for a new knife and they just gave us the other persons unused knife at the table. I thought that was odd since I had used it to cut something. I would’ve just gotten a new knife for the customer. Otherwise, it is well worth the ambiance.

Lovely outdoor seating on Duval St but in a garden setting so you feel removed. Shared a surf and turf tasting plate for $40 and everything was tasty although the sauces were quite heavy. Would definitely return!

On vacation in Key West, had dined at this restaurant last year and enjoyed it. Was just as good this year. Service is excellent our waitress (I think her name was Julia) was so attentive. I had the truffle shrimp pasta and the pasta was perfectly cooked, with a delicious sauce. Would return again.

We are Key West residents who consider Grand Cafe one of our favorite restaurant venues. It’s fun to people watch on Duval Street while enjoying great food and the service is unhurried so dining is very relaxed.

It was OK but just OK. The wine prices are high, so I didn't bother. $55 for twist cap Cabernet you see at Publix for $9 is a little much. The cocktails were OK but just OK. Calamari tasted like the frozen bag stuff from Costco, the Osso Bucco and Beef Short Rib was OK but just OK, meat was tender but there wasn't much flavor. Service was very slow, but the patio seating is good people watching and the weather was nice so that didn't bother us. Overall, just OK. For a $200 meal for 2, I'm not sure we'll be rushing to come back. Patio seating is probably best on Duval though.

Unfortunately, food and drinks were only ok. I was excited about dining here. It was our first time. The drink and food menu options were appealing. Outdoor seating was very nice. Server was friendly and attentive but long waits for food and bar service. My dinner was served cold, but husband's was hot. Sauce for the grand lobster was very sweet. Calamari was good but not great. Food presentation was sloppy. The taste of cocktails was not balanced. We tried some traditional cocktails, but the taste was "off". Restaurant has the potential to be Grand , but not quite there yet.
