Ocean is one of the several restaurants on the grounds of the Hawks Cay Resort. The buffet…read morebreakfast was very well done; lunch and dinner were more mediocre. For the latter, the food was American seafood, but with a slight trend toward mediterranean (achieved simply through the addition of olives, capers, feta, etc. to some dishes). But for an all-around restaurant to please every family member, you could do worse. The kids enjoyed the pizza and pasta. Sadly, one of the biggest problems were the birds on the patio outside. The seagulls were especially aggressive. Some crafty person strung fishing line across the openings, but it is spaced far too wide and gave the birds no trouble at all. It needs a re-think.

Breakfast with a view!…read more The breakfast buffet is pretty average at Ocean. You'll find your typical selection of scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, breakfast potatoes, pancakes, waffles, pastries, fruit, cereal and oatmeal. I had already loaded my plate when I discovered the made to order omelette station. Luckily the scrambled eggs were pretty good so I didn't bother with the omelette. In comparison to other hotel breakfast buffets the food was slightly better than average. Service was great and my waiter immediately greeted me with coffee and orange juice. Loved the generous glass of orange juice, but the coffee wasn't great. If you are staying at Hawk's Cay Resort this breakfast buffet is slightly cheaper than ordering room service at the hotel, but I would skip dining here if you have the option to cook your own breakfast in your villa.

Kind of bummed out as I enjoyed my dine in experience, but felt tonight's delivery experienced failed. Order the online menu line item called "Chicken Ceaser Salad" and after opening the package in the house, I only got romain :( So tax , convenience fee, and 20% tip and 15 plus bucks later, I get a box of lettuce. Didnt bother to complain. Going to Publix tomorrow as i shouldn't of put it off tonight. read more

Its hard to believe more people don't know about this great little restaurant. The breakfast sandwiches are GREAT! My favorite is the steak, egg, and cheese on Cuban bread. I've ordered lunch and dinner as well, and I have never been disappointed! The pizza was an unbelievable surprise! Was served breakfast today by Janna! She was great as is always my experience!

Came over to Caroline's because it was one of the less crowded spots but still located right there amidst the action. It's all outdoors and wooden boardwalk type tables, although the fans helped keep it somewhat cooler and less humid. A natural vibe for the geographical region though. We were able to get seated right away, however the service was a bit slow and we noticed people around us who were seated after us getting their food well before us. It finally did come and it was solid. Nothing to write home about but a solid option on the strip for some food and drinks. Wouldn't say I'd go seek it out, but if you're looking around and need decent prices and food and can't decide or everywhere is packed, you'll be safe with it.

For breakfast, we sat in an area that is traditional diner style. There are booth options and bar seating. We sat at the bar and you get a direct view of the kitchen staff. They were working so diligently and efficiently! It was impressive. The service was fast and everyone was very pleasant. The place was busy with guests dining in AND constant to-go orders were being fulfilled. Despite how busy things clearly were, the service was awesome and so was our breakdown. My husband and I shared the breakfast skillet with NY strip. He also ordered a pancake on the side. It was very fresh and really good. It is a really large portion so sharing it was not a problem. They have large TV's above the bar seating so that was nice. We went back for dinner and sat in the legendz bar seating area. This area is set up like a traditional bar with bar seating, high top tables, etc. There are TV's everywhere which is really nice for sports fans. It was very busy but again, the staff were very attentive and provided great service. I ordered the stir-fry with steak and my husband ordered wings. Although the portion sizes were great, we didn't find these dishes to be as wrap done as the breakfast. It seemed to be more of a fast casual style - so the meat seemed more chewy like perhaps it was reheated. It was still a great experience and I would recommend you checking them out!

We came across Blackfin Bistro on our last night in Key West. If we had discovered it earlier in…read morethe trip, it likely would have earned a repeat visit. Food Blackfin is a beer and wine restaurant, so no cocktails. I'm not a big drinker, but I do enjoy when a place offers creative house cocktails. Since I'm not much of a wine or beer person either, I was initially a bit disappointed. That changed quickly when I saw they served Stiegl Grapefruit Radler. That alone felt like a small vacation in a glass. The menu offers plenty of choices to satisfy almost any palate. We weren't especially hungry, so we opted for a lighter approach: * Grilled Octopus * Tempura Green Beans * Spinach and Goat Cheese Salad Everything we ordered was very good. The salad was fresh and thoughtfully balanced, with bacon, goat cheese, apple, and honey bringing layers of flavor. It was served with a crusty baguette. We don't normally eat bread, but this was a welcome addition. The grilled octopus was tender, flavorful, and served hot. Always a good sign. The tempura items were nicely executed, lightly battered and not greasy. The green beans were crisp with delicate seasoning, served alongside a balsamic glaze dipping sauce that complemented without overpowering. Service Service was attentive throughout the evening. We never felt forgotten, and we never felt rushed. The pacing was natural and relaxed. Thank you, Gabor. Atmosphere The indoor dining area feels quiet and intimate. The outdoor patio in the back leans more casual. Surrounded by a tall fence and shaded by trees that form natural canopies, it offers a sense of privacy that can be hard to find in many of the more open-air restaurants along Duval Street. Even though this was a lighter, abbreviated meal for us, my sense is that Blackfin would be an excellent choice for a full dinner. We would definitely plan to return on our next visit to Key West.
