    Wonderful, wonderful experience. These items were magnificent, the boat ride, crew, Sunset Key, the staff and service, the beach front seating under swaying palm trees, the crystal blue sky and water, the mojito, Crab tostada, sweet and tender Maine Lobster roll and two 'best ever' sweet additions the Salted Caramel Creme Brulee and Key Lime pie. Everything was absolutely on point! However, the two desserts score gold stars as hands down the best we've ever had and best Key Lime Pie anywhere in Key West. This is a must do in Key West! You must have reservations. In the off season with cooler breezes don't let the dress code requests concern you. Don't think - plan it- do it.

    Jasmine was our server and was delightful. The meal started with their fresh breads—the Asiago bread is to die for, along with a perfectly complementary, light, whipped, divine butter. The seasonal cocktails were fantastic! I am rarely enamored with fish dishes, but my wife had the hogfish, which was superb, and my Mahi Mahi was excellent as well. Wines are reasonably priced and are focused on pairing well with the meals. A lovely creme brûlée, along with an espresso martini, finished off an excellent evening and meal! Cheers!
