   Have dined here before-it’s a lovely place, wonderful service & the food was delicious-however I don’t remember the prices being sooo high-entrees from $52-$82-sorry-thats a bit too much-also, limited menu items-if price doesn’t matter, I would recommend

   I am so glad I chose to celebrate my upcoming birthday at Cafe Marquesa. We had excellent service from Kyler & a lovely romantic table on the porch. Someone mentioned the sunsets were beautiful from here but you can’t see the sunset from the porch that overlooks Fleming St. ; the clouds prevented seeing it set anyway. They serve a delicious ciabatta bread with a nice béarnaise butter. The tasting menu sounded delicious, but my husband didn’t want it & they require both diners to order it so I just ordered the she crab soup & the foie gras which were outstanding & the lobster cassoulet which was not very good & these were on that tasting menu. The lobster was on a bed of fava beans & Hackleback Caviar; I don’t usually like fava beans but these were delicious, sadly the lobster lacked flavor so it was a lot to pay for good fava beans. My husband said his piccata swordfish was perfect & it was a large serving. We did not know they would bring me a large piece of their delicious Key Lime Pie for my birthday so we ordered their dessert trio of a tiny piece of Key Lime, a very tiny Carmel milkshake & 1 delicious Beignet with delicious custard sauce. This was a wonderful dinner even if the lobster was a disappointment & I do want to return again.

   Me & my husband were given a gift card for our 11th year anniversary from my uncle that has lived in Key West for 30years and raved about Cafe Marquesa. We were greeted with friendly faces & we requested outside and they quickly set us up a table while we grabbed a drink at the bar . Sasha was our server and she was so attentive & friendly, she was great with the menu & recommendations, she also brought us tuna tostada as compliments from the chef that were little bites of Heaven . We had the frisée salad as appetizer 10/10, my husband got the Miso Grouper and it was extremely tasty & I got the Pork Osso Bucco & im not typically someone who eats pork very often but I would go back 20 more times for that dish, the meat was cooked perfectly and the whole dish was delicious. The manager was walking around making sure everyone was good & having a good dinner , he was such a gem and definitely made our experience that much nicer. Definitely will be going back often, don’t hesitate to book it’s worth every penny

   Our favorite restaurant out of many we like here in Key West. The she-crab soup is the best soup on the island. They always have interesting bartenders. I am disappointed they discontinued the pork chop — a provocative signature dish.

    This restaurant never lets disappoints. I have been at this restaurant three times and each time it has been a great experience. The food is fabulous, the Chef, general manager (Mark), bartender and wait staff are the best. I have had two of my best meals in my life at Cafe Marquesa, which were the Yellowtail Snaper and Swordfish. I highly recommend this extrodenary restaurant when visiting Key West.

    Good day! Wilson is always at the ready and attentive w us whenever we visit. Love him! Service staff is great, seamless & professional. Vealchop was supposed to be medium but came out welldone, didn’t send it back cuz we’re not those people, and overpriced for that entree. Came to the conclusion that last night may be our last visit just based on menu selections.

    Divine Dining! Having been there previously we made reservations for both of our nights in Key West and Cafe Marquesa lived up to our memories. With friends we tried multiple items on the menu, everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. The starter portion of the shrimp and grits was sufficient for an entrée. The starter portion of diver scallops I was offered to upgrade to an entrée with four scallops. Entrée portions were very nicely sized and not huge. It’s a relatively small space and diners are somewhat close. Great service!

    Overrated. The $82 veal chop was just “ok”, unacceptable at these prices. Mirrors surround the restaurant and shine any car headlights from the road into your eye. Been more satisfied on Duval St as a walk-in to a no-name establishment.

    We haven’t gone to a restaurant of this level in a long time due to the cost. We left with zero regrets and big smiles. We had an outstanding evening. Excellent service and incredible food. We asked to be in the main dining room but if you prefer a quieter dinner, there are options to be seated next door in the hotel.
