Key West

About the restaurant

A premier choice for fine dining in Old Town Key West.

Like Charleston and other great ports of the South, Key West offers endless inspiration for chefs. Once a stop on trade routes to the Caribbean, the island developed a signature cuisine that’s practically an open book for flavors. Pair this with the bounty from two bodies of water and the signatures of great chefs who have dedicated time here and a compelling cuisine emerges.

From its inception, Café Marquesa has led the way in expressing a unique, coastal cuisine. Our kitchen combines the finest seafood, meats, and produce with classic preparations and creativity. We offer fine dining with an authentic, homespun essence, like freshly baked bread and desserts made daily in-house. A local favorite for special occasions, and a place to settle into and savor. Every dinner layers memory upon memory. Join us and find yours.

We heard from several locals that this was the place to go for a fine meal and it did not disappoint. We did the chef’s tasting menu and it was amazing…pork empanadas, she crab soup, seared tuna, scallops, oysters, file, and three desserts. Each course was beautifully paired with other ingredients. For instance, the scallop came with pork belly with semi glaze and a salad. I’m not usually a pork belly fan but this was perfectly cooked and the semi glaze would make a shoe taste good! All the staff were attentive but not hovering and Luke took very good care of us. We were three people celebrating our birthdays and they made us feel very special. Highly recommend!!

Everything was outstanding. Perfection. The sunset even cooperated. Crispy salmon was the best. Shrimp carbonara was excellent. Key lime pie was out of this world.

Everything was great! The only thing I would say is the food lacked flavor… I had the whole fried snapper and it was cooked perfectly, it was just lacking flavor.

Islamorada

About the restaurant

Located in the heart of Islamorada at mile marker 81.6, the Morada Bay Keys Beach Café & Bar lays amidst a beautiful palm-lined beach, overlooking blue waters, with walking paths through tropical flowers. You’ll find inside and outside bars and dining areas, live unique entertainment, spectacular sunsets and a large child-friendly beach with cozy Adirondack chairs.

The Café is conceived to evoke the feel of a beach café where the Hawaiian and Californian surfers and sailboarders would relax after a day on the water. As such, its walls are adorned with surfboards, longboards, sail and kite boards, as well as many original 60’s surf posters.

The Café’s menu showcases the freshest in local seafood and produce, the fare is both innovative and eclectic. The Café’s bar and wine offerings are equally noteworthy. The Café is open for dining seven days a week from 11 AM to 10 PM.

Still the same beautiful venue it’s always been. Apparently it’s under a new ownership and they have a much smaller menu. Food was good.
