    Have been coming to the Keys for almost 50 years and this is the 1st time my wife & I have tried Latitudes. First a shout out to Alex who was our server. He made our visit very pleasant. The food was awesome from the lobster bisque to the Seared Grouper & Yellowtail Snapper to the Key Lime pie. All those who work for Latitudes were spot on with their responsibilities and made the experience memorable for all the right reasons. Thank you!

    Fabulous new find for us! Wonderful food and service. Artisan cheese plate with local honeycomb had us wondering where we could buy it and take it home. Wagyu Burger was phenomenal and the Grouper special was best ever. We’ll come again!

    Always a great evening at The Grand. The owner swung by our table as soon as we were sat and even offered to bring us drinks - she was lovely. Food is outstanding (we love the beef carpaccio). And we really, really love how they value locals at The Grand. It keeps us coming back. Outstanding restaurant- if you haven’t been … go!

    We try to get to Cafe Marquesa every year during our visit to Key West-this year we were able to dine there TWICE! It was superb in every way, we were able to make reservations for both visits easily and get a time that was convenient for us. The menu options were fabulous and the service is impeccable. We have always felt welcomed by the staff, the dining room is lovely and comfortable. Truly a five star experience from start to finish with everyone in our party(s) leaving the restaurant with rave reviews about every aspect of the dining experience.
