    Need salad. Yam nua
    Wade J.

    This restaurant not accessible without using the stairs. Enter the bar and go up to the restaurant. The stairs are fine. Not too skinny like many in the keys. The staff is super nice and quite eager to accommodate. I was down during Fantasy Fest and this was off the beaten path so it was not too busy. I ordered a mojito. Immediately the waitress asked if I liked sweet or not. I said not and the drink was perfect. The mint was muddled correctly; it was not beat to a pulp. The beef salad was tasty. I've had better but everything was fresh I ordered a 4 (Thai spicy) and it had a little heat but not a number 4. I am a tough sell on beef salad because it's my favorite and I've had many epic renditions. This was about a 7 of 10. More spice would have made it an 8. Crushed roasted rice would have made it a 9. The pad Thai was outstanding. I hope they didn't just get lucky, because it's in my top 5 best ever. The lobster was extremely fresh...It called me nasty names every time I bit into it. Typical for Fantasy Fest. It was naturally sweet and tender and went with the main dish better than I'd imagined. The ambiance is great anywhere eating outside in the keys if you love an island feel. The mesh chairs are uncomfortable. Before I could tell the waitress she brought me a nice wooden chair that was great. I caught a glimpse of the dining area inside and it looked much nicer than the deck. It might be more appropriate for date night. Next time I'll try the choo chee snapper and a dirty Thai tea.

    Crab Rangoon
    Kira P.

    I went here after a TikTok recommendation. The lobster pad Thai is one of the most popular items and the pad Thai was pretty solid but the lobster was a bit tough. We also got the crab Rangoon which was some of the best we've ever had. We heard from locals that it has some of the best sushi in Key West but unfortunately we didn't get any. We will go back. It's on the expensive side IMO but we were on vacay so worth it

    Bento box with tempura shrimp
    Boon C.

    Our experience for lunch is not bad. Dinner is a bit expensive. The restaurant is at the second floor elevated for a view to the inner bay. Parking is available at the boat marina. We got two bento box for the lunch. The lunch box is the way to go. The bento box has sashimi, nigiri, California roll, fried roll, seaweed salad. We got the tempura and the poke. The tempura is below average. The poke is tuna poke. Food is good enough quantities. They are not spectacular but deliver the need. Sashimi is three different fish. Service is a bit slow. The place is easily pack.

    Whole Yellowtail Fish, drunken noodle, papaya salad, Red Curry, Chicken Satay, and Wonton Soup

    We ordered various entrees to share family style and also a few drinks such as Thai tea and Thai iced coffee. We also ordered 2 sticky rice and mango which were to die for. We found Thai island when we were getting ready to leave Key West. It's on the second level and the restaurant gives a very different ambiance than the bar below it. We asked for medium spice for everything and it was perfect for our group. The service was impeccable and the lady was sweet as could be. Will definitely come back when we are in town again!

    The best Thai restaurant! Delicious food, beautiful view of the bay, and super convenient parking. We first came here last year while in Key West and loved it so much that we had to come back this year. Our favorite spot -- the outdoor veranda, just perfect!

    We went around 2pm and the restaurant was not very busy. The service was in tune with our needs. We tried the mango tango, spicy tuna, California, and crunchy munchy. There was a generous amount of seafood in the rolls. The rice for the rolls were amazing and perfectly sticky.

    Best eats in Key west! Our charter captain recommended this place because they would cook our fish we caught. Upon entering the restaurant, We were immediately greeted by a smiling face and cold waters. Once sat, our server recommended the different ways they could cook the fish. We took their recommendation and are so happy we did. Food came out in under 10 minutes and was everything you could ever want. There was fried fish, a special key west roll and a light sear. But their menu was expansive, had every sort of Asian food you could want and more. On top of the food being delicious, our glasses were always kept full, the servers were so kind and very quick. If it couldn't get any better, the restaurant is located on an upper patio with water views, shade and a nice breeze. Even if you don't bring your own fish, theirs was fresh and delicious! I cannot say enough nice things about every interaction.

    A quaint hidden gem located above the dive bar was unexpected. The sushi rolls were enormous and the crispy duck crispy and juicy. Ambiance was very airy on the balcony. Light breeze to cool you done while enjoying a delightful meal.

    Chicken Katsu, Volcano Roll
    Victoryia G.

    I love this place! The food is absolutely delicious and fresh. I ordered the chicken Katsu , which comes with a hoison tasting sauce and the volcano roll. Honestly the best volcano roll I've ever had. The service is quick and the waiters are very attentive. The view is nice it's right beside a dock which means it's a little more humid than usual, but you can choose to eat inside!

    Lobster pad Thai
    Kelsey M.

    Went here on our last day of vacation for lunch...The crab rangoons are a MUST!! We also got the lobster pad Thai which was very good and enough to share! We opted to sit inside but they do have a nice view of the water too.

    Chicken Fried Rice
    Rob B.

    Food very tasty. Rice and portion size is a lot good for sharing. We were very disappointed with the wait staff upon arrival we got warm drinks while other tables received ice water. Waiter was very slow / wait time was long. We ate dinner outside on the patio over looking small bridge nice family setting. Restaurant is upstairs so be prepared. But must highlight the food is very good.

    Tucked away in a quiet historical neighborhood of Key West is the Little Pearl wine bar restaurant…read more We made a reservation in advance for a pre-fixe tasting menu as they offer three seatings per night at 5 PM 7 PM and 9 PM.. We chose to select wine by the glass to pair with our courses, and the Wine selection was awesome. We added on the ceviche of the day, which was not only beautiful in its presentation, but so fresh , clean and delicate it was just a joy to eat. For our tasting menu selections, we enjoyed : Hamachi Crudo with fried shallots, Wontons with duck bacon, corn in a plum sauce, yum! Steamed mussels with ginger in a coconut green curry sauce so good you could drink it & topped unfortunately with some rather overpowering / overcooked fried udon noodles. The Finned Fare of the night, which was a beautiful piece of fresh grouper served in a sea of the best polenta I think I've ever tasted. The New Zealand venison strip loin served with a potato pancake in a black garlic sauce. Perfectly prepared For dessert, we chose the cheese plate and the brownie served with a salted caramel gelato. Perfection! The service was incredible and I only wish that they had had more patrons at 5 PM when we dined. This is truly a little neighborhood gem in Key West and I would highly recommend it if you want a intimate romantic and fabulous dinner out. The chef here is so very talented and he deserves all the love.

    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.

Highly recommend their Diablo Burger, croquettes, tempura green beans and of course their creme brûlée is the best on the island as well as their carrot cake.
