The food was very average at best. My ceasar salad was average and the grouper was like half a piece. My wife's stuffed snapper was pretty bad, the potatoes were worse than Bob Evans's! Would not recommend this place at all, go somewhere else. read more

If you are looking for a beautiful sunset and delicious dinner this is the place! We ordered the seared tuna for appetizer which had a great sauce and seaweed salad yumm! We ordered the snapper and the Mahi and they were both exquisite! I personally loved the Snapper. read more

Usually I refer to Yelp before eating anywhere. This was one exception. We were walking near Mallory Square at noon and spotted the bistro. It is a great spot to watch people and the waterfront. Service was prompt and courteous. My wife ordered a turkey club sandwich with a pasta salad. I ordered a kale salad with gazpacho. Portions were generous, the presentation was nice and the preparation was good. read more

Do your self a favor and come here for breakfast... first of all the view is nice. Place is really clean and relaxing and staff is very kind and welcoming. I had breakfast here 2 days in a row lol. I had omelet once and second time I had lobster Benedict... you gotta try that. Its really really good! Also they were kind enough to substitute potatoes for cup of fresh fruit. I do recommend! read more

Bistro 245 - Lobster benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Key West, Florida

I chose Bistro 245 at the Opal Key Resort because it's right on the water and perfect for viewing the sunset near Mallory Square. Lots of tables with umbrellas outside so you can enjoy the view. Our server was Lytton, who was very friendly and engaging. My family of five started out with cocktails. I had a refreshing Paloma. My family shared the seared yellowfin tuna and the lobster quesadilla appetizers. For dinner, my daughter and I ordered the lobster quesadilla (again) and the southernmost crab cakes appetizers and split those. That lobster quesadilla was so good that we ordered it twice! The rest of the family ordered NY strip, the Cuban classic sandwich and the yellowtail snapper. All were enjoyed. The only negative I can say is that service was slow once we ordered the food, otherwise we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. If you want a nice view of the sunset sitting by the water, I recommend Bistro 245. read more

Found this place based on location and sunset views. But the menu was lacking and way over priced for a "bistro" that was playing baseball on their TV's. $30 for chicken, $50+ for fish and steak. It was also lacking any vibe and very hot inside. the service was good. But overall I would not go back. read more

I want to be clear - this isn't fine dining like the prices want you to believe. This is a glorified Applebees that just got lucky by having a location on the water. From the first very unappealing bite of the flatbread, if you want to call it that, to the service that makes you feel like you are in a rush, to the very cold garlic potatoes that arrived with the meals (how are they so cold....in the heat...). Honestly, there was nothing WRONG with it, so I wouldn't give it one star, but it was as close as you can get. Go walk over to the sunset get a picture, and eat elsewhere in Duval. read more

Lobster Benedict was simply AMAZING!!! View from patio is beautiful!! We had a lovely brunch.

Birthday dinner! We enjoyed a scrumptious dinner with mahi, snapper, and lobster. They made a special birthday plate for us to enjoy with key lime pie. I highly recommend reservations as we needed to sit inside as they could not accommodate us outside. Service was very slow inside, but the food was delicious. read more

Walking through Key West and this restaurant gave me a perfect view of the sunset. Witnessed a marriage proposal as the sun was setting. Dinner was fabulous, who doesn't like gruyere mac and cheese. Will return on my next visit read more

Bistro 245 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Key West, Florida

Bistro 245 is located along the water on a quieter, but not at all remote, section of the waterfront. The outdoor seating was pleasant, not too close to the other tables. (Only complaint is that the umbrella base was so big there wasn't a comfortable place to rest our feet under the table). Our server was very attentive without being overbearing, and the whole staff did a great job. My husband said the lobster tail that was on his Gulf Shrimp and Lobster Fettuccine was one of the best he has ever had and loved the entire dish. I thought my crabmeat stuffed snapper was extremely well prepared. Not at all bready, and not dried out. The espresso creme brûlée was a real winner and the key lime pie was good, but I prefer it with a stronger lime flavor. Bonus: We were entertained by a marriage proposal just in front of the restaurant! read more

The view can't be beat, the service was incredible. Absolute best service I've had in key west. The gazpacho soup was amazing, some of the best I've had. We also had the lobster quesadillas and the crab cakes which were both excellent. For dinner I had the tuna sashimi appetizer which was average compared to what I've had in the past. Truffle crusted grouper is what my husband ordered and said it was delicious although he didn't taste truffle. My daughter had the lobster tail and said it was great. Would definitely eat here again. read more

If you want a sunset meal in KW, this is the place to have it. The covered patio provided cool shade while not inhibiting the view to the west whatsoever. After one too many drinks, I don't recall what I ordered but I do recall liking it. Two takeaways: good food, even better martinis;) read more

Bistro 245 is located at the Margaritaville Resort. We've stayed at the hotel several times but I've only had breakfast at the restaurant, no lunches or dinners . All of the foods we've ordered were good, but you definitely pay for the convenience of walking right downstairs to grab a bite. For example, $12ish for a bowl of oatmeal is a bit steep in my book. Then again, this is Key West, not Kansas. read more

Best place to grab a seat at the bar and have a drink during sunset on Mallory square. There are tables on the outside patio and another section right along the water. Sounds like there a lot of people who make reservations for the tables at sunset. Didn't eat just sat and had drinks. read more

This restaurant is located on the waterfront with premium views of the sunset and is just off Mallory Square. After enjoying some of the street entertainment, we got seats to the best show in town and just watched the sun end it's day as we sipped on some nice drinks and ate a wonderful meal. The food was pretty good. I had a grouper that was excellent and the remainder of my party seemed to like their dishes. But, what is not to like when the view is spectacular. Get there a little before sunset as seating outside is first come first served so you might need to send an advance party to get a table or miss the end of the show at the square. The dishes are a little on the high end but that's the price of admission. read more

Been here two years in a row down in Key West. Never had an amazing experience but never really a bad one either. We sat at the walk-in outdoor area for a better view of the sunset with our larger party and placed our orders, but were disappointed due to our tables being dirty and us rarely seeing the waiters. Our waters were empty for half of the dinner and we waited a whopping 35 minutes for our food. Having a long drive ahead of us, we were hoping for quick service, but clearly that was not the case. The restaurant didn't seem busy at all, and no one came to our table to tell us why the food was taking so long. Extremely disappointed. The waiters also appeared frustrated that we had asked them how much longer we would have to wait. However, the food itself was very good. The shrimp and lobster fettuccine was great, the grouper was a hit, and the snapper was also very good although it doesn't taste like you'd expect (if that makes sense). The surrounding area was beautiful, and it was a great place to watch the sunset, but it's hard to get over the poor service. 7.3/10. Sigma out. read more

Stopped in for dinner at Bistro 245. Had the crab cake starter; very nice. Dinners were lobster tail, and mahi mahi. Enjoyed the evening outdoor seating; would be even lovelier during a sunny day. Bit of a splurge, but worth it. read more

Loved this location for breakfast or sunset. Sits on the end of the island looking at Sunset Key and next to Mallory Square. It was only busy on Sunday morning the entire week we stayed here. The lobster Benedict are a wonderful way to start your morning. We loved our server, Michael. read more

Beautiful view with blue water can be compelling after a relatively long walk under an 85 degrees Winter sun. Being thirsty we stopped for a quick drink and maybe appetizers. It was nice outdoor seating and the shrimp Flat bread was definitely good but a little overpriced for the size. I can't complain much about it as the view itself made to for it. read more

Bistro 245 - Beautiful view from Bistro 245 at Sunset - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Key West, Florida

Our favorite meal of the trip. Dinner outside which included a beautiful sunset. The mahi and snapper entrees were outrageously delicious! Was a little hard to find. Go to the end of the pier to the left of Mallory Square. read more

I got the mahi and my husband got the yellowtail snapper. I can't speak for him, but mine was literally the best meal I've ever had! The lemon caper sauce was to die for. Mac and cheese was homemade. I appreciate that there were several pieces of asparagus too, because many restaurants give you 2 and that's your veg - boo. The view at Mallory Square is beautiful too! Great venue! read more

Area was beautiful. I had Monte Cristo for the first time ever. It was really tasty ! Had the crab cake appetizer and it was probably best I've ever had. Service was spot on. I would go back and feel like the price was fair for quality, scenery and service. read more

Food is outstanding!!! Crab cakes are some of the best I have eaten. Also recommend the Bistro 245 mixed grill. Well prepared. Was told several times Conch Republic Seafood was the best on the island. I totally disagree. Bistro 245 is the #1 pick if you want seafood. Request patio seating if it's nice out. Great view and beautiful sunset. read more

We had our valentines dinner here. First. Must say everyone is supper nice . Our server was spread thin. We saw him when we got there. He took our order and we saw him when we left. I had the stuffed snapper. Cooked excellently but not much flavor. My wife's had the grouper. Cooked excellent but not much flavor. Sorry to say not a place we will go back . read more

We only had drinks here at the bar. Drinks were 3.5/5. Their strawberry basil smash looked heavenly. My margarita was ok. I think the specialty drinks are the way to go here. It got really hot as the sun was setting. The location is perfect for sunset. There was Cat Man our front who is crazy but entertaining. Great place to sit and watch the sun go down if it's not too hot. read more

Great food, great service with an incredible view! Went with a business group and had the best experience!!

Great place! We like to sit outside or sit in the back part of the restaurant as it is much cooler in the evenings. Service is always very good. Multiple waiters would play with my kids or make silly faces at them throughout our many dinners. Food is always delicious as well as the drinks! read more

Poor customer service and the food was just okay. Hostess was rude. Waitress didn't seem like being at work today. Dirty water glasses

We stumbled upon this ocean front restaurant while watching the sunset. It has a perfect location with plenty of seating. We were seated immediately right on the water. The waitress was friendly, helpful and attentive. We ordered drinks and an appetizer. I had a frozen strawberry daiquiri and my husband had a land shark beer. Both were cold and served promptly. We then ordered the crab cakes. They were fresh and hot with a crispy coating. The dipping sauce was smeared on the plate and had great flavor. We would go back for the sunset and recommend this restaurant. read more

We just visited Key West for the first time and of all of the many amazing restaurants, this was probably our favorite! It's a great ocean view, staff is friendly and place is clean. They also have private bathrooms. We ate or just had drinks four or five separate times. All of the food is amazing! I highly recommend the sesame ahi tuna; best we had on the island!! The view is slightly obstructed because of the daily cruise ship, but they leave at 4 or 5 each day. read more

Great spot for sunset viewing, good food, good drinks and good environment for dinner conversations.

The menu is seriously stacked all the way through. I had the shrimp and lobster fettuccini and it was fantastic. The view of the water was beautiful and you can have an option of indoor or outdoor seating. Great place! read more
