We both had side of fries. The Mahi bites app & dip were delicious. My blackened shrimp wrap was gigantic, easily shareable, in my opinion. His fish sandwich was sticking out of the bun on both sides. Everything was on par, as always. Even though we sat outside, this is one of the coolest restaurants, due to misters and giant fans. It's ambience is very casual, fun to people watch while eating, especially people stopping at the misters. Service is super efficient. It's

If I could give this place zero stars, I absolutely would…read more This has been one of the most disappointing and upsetting experiences I've ever had with a restaurant. On Saturday night, I ate a shrimp quesadilla here, and by Sunday morning I was violently sick. I had nonstop vomiting and severe liquid diarrhea for hours, couldn't keep down even tiny sips of water or Pedialyte, and the cramping became so intense I could barely stand or walk without help. Things got so bad that by Sunday evening I ended up in the emergency room due to extreme dehydration. I needed IV fluids, medications, and hours of treatment. I was vomiting bile, hyperventilating, extremely weak, and dealing with muscle tingling and cramping from how dehydrated my body became. What makes me the most angry is that food poisoning is NOT something minor, especially when seafood is involved. Situations like this can become life-threatening, and restaurants should understand the seriousness and responsibility that comes with serving food safely. Nobody should go out to eat and end up in the hospital less than 24 hours later. Now I'm left dealing with recovery, stress, and expensive medical bills from an experience that should never have happened in the first place. I genuinely hope this restaurant immediately takes a serious look at its food handling and safety practices before someone else goes through something even worse. Lastly, if it were up to me, this place should be shut down until they can guarantee proper food safety standards. I will also be looking into taking legal action because nobody should have to go through something like this from simply going out to eat.

Food was fantastic! The location was also very cute as well with outdoor seating along the water.read more

Note: This review is based solely on their Key lime pie, although my other half remarked he'd been…read morehere before and said the food was good, so 5 stars until I ever come back here again. The quest for the best key lime pie in Key West began over dinner on Monday night, when I mentioned wanting to check out Kermit's on my friend recommendation, lamenting that I never got to enjoy a truly good key lime pie during my first and last visit in 2020. The one I had then was... not good. (I now know the dead giveaway is that it was green). What followed has become a pursuit of principle: truly a noble quest I can get behind. Fast-forward 3 days, and here's our verdict so far, with one contender still to come. Tomorrow night we're headed to Red Shoe Island Bistro for dinner at the insistence of a local who claims it blows Kermit's cheesecake out of the water: 1. Kermit's - The benchmark. Bright, tart, light, and perfectly balanced. 2. Hurricane Hole - Good, but missing the extra punch of tartness that puts Kermit's over the top. 3. El Siboney - Solid, but denser and more cheesecake-like, but also lacking the light, airy tartness of Kermit's. 4. Key Lime Pie Bakery - Forgettable in a town where memorable matters. 5. Matt's Stock Island Kitchen - Overly sweet with virtually no lime (or even lemon) presence. Our slice came boxed with whipped cream and... cherry sauce?! If you'd called it birthday cake, I'd have found that a more accurate description. Might as well call it Diabetes On a Plate. Tomorrow morning, a plan was proposed (that I seconded): we'll stop by Kermit's to grab two slices to go and stash them in the fridge, specifically to revisit after dinner at Red Shoe Bistro as a point of reference. If Red Shoe's pie ends up being too close to call, we'll have no choice but to bring a slice home and do a true, side-by-side comparison in real time. And in the interest of not ending the trip on a sour note if tomorrow night disappoints, at least we'll be leaving Key West on Friday morning with Kermit's key lime pie as our final bite.

So first, their Martini list is great but ok the food and service are also. Regarding the menu, what is very appreciated is how willing they are to please by adjusting combinations if they can to your desires. The veal saltimboca was great, the special hogfish and angel hair was also, and their gnocchi was terrific. Now gnocchi is a rather simple dish, but somehow not many make it good nonetheless for some reason. And the service is terrific. A place to repeat.

Best Italian food in the Keys! The fettuccine is AMAZING!…read moreFresh ingredients with authentic Italian tastes! I was shocked when I realized I would pay more money at olive garden for food that tastes so processed and freezer burn! After eating here you'll never think of Italian food the same way again.

There was so much lobster meat, it was not like how some places put a layer of lettuce on the bottom to distract you from the lack of lobster. Not a cheap bite, but worth it. You order at the counter, take a seat, and they bring the food to you. It is a small place so I'd recommend going early if you're wanting to eat in the restaurant. Loved it!
