The staff was extremely friendly, we were seated outside promptly, and there was some nice, gentle live music. There were a few drink options (no liquor) and we enjoyed. The food came out at a good time and it was the best food we've had so far. I got a cheese arepa with black beans. The arepa itself was unlike any I've had before and its texture was soft and had a gummier cornbread feel. The taste was incredible and the beans were cooked perfectly. I also got the Cuban pork tacos on corn tortillas - the pork was perfectly tender with a delicious glaze. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a casual bite in key west!

Can't come to Key West without stopping in to get some of the best tacos on the island at Garbo's…read more It's always just been a food truck but they now have a small patio seating area next to Hanks Hair of the Dog bar. We got one order of the Cayo fish tacos to share. Each order comes with two tacos. We chose a bench in the shade on the patio where some chickens were wandering around picking up bits of food dropped by the patrons. It was fun to watch them run in a group when one spotted something had fallen. Our tacos were ready quickly and after the first bite we immediately regretted not getting a table because they are a bit messy with all the delicious toppings. Oh well! I persevered and used a napkin to soak up the juice and the chickens took care of of the rest. I will never miss an opportunity to visit Garbo's when in Key West.

It wasn't busy when I went (at 4 PM on a Tuesday in early August). The cashier was friendly, and the food came out in 5-10 minutes. I liked the outdoor, casual vibe of the place. I'll definitely be back for the tacos again! Small tortilla but totally stuffed, and so worth $4 each for Taco Tuesday or happy hour trio.

But, for my wife who is Gluten Free, they scored big points by going above and beyond. She ordered a dish that had plantains, and was disappointed to hear the plantains weren't gluten free. She has been GF for years, and has become accustomed to being disappointed with what she can't have. Imagine her delight (joy!) when they brought over plantains prepared GF - just for her!!! That made her so happy - service like that isn't common these days. VERY well done, Caroline's !!!! And thank you!!!

Right after I sat down a waiter came around the corner, almost tripped over my chair, which startled me. Not to mention there was a huge tray of food in his hand that almost fell on me, so again I was startled! It was totally fine though, accidents happen!!! Instead of acting professional and apologizing/laughing it off, the waiter throws our utensils on the table and runs away. Then 5 min later we get a new waiter who seemed annoyed with us because his coworker accidentally tripped on my chair???? What bothered us was how short our waiter was with us, yet so kind to all the other tables around us. We ate quickly and left but our original plan was to stay a bit longer and order drinks with dinner... Weird and unprofessional!

The desserts looked absolutely amazing, but Hemingway's ghost and I decided to save room for some stronger spirits instead. The prices were very fair, and I would happily return to try the desserts, preferably when the ghost of Hemingway is somewhere else.

Started with the deviled egg sampler - absolutely delicious - three kinds: regular, topped with crispy chorizo and topped with a fried jalapeño. Hubs had the yellowfin tuna sandwich (no bun) and I had the grilled grouper sandwich. Froth fish were perfectly cooked! The side salads had a delicious vinaigrette dressing. French fries were good. I also had a glass of Hess Allomi Cabernet Sauvignon which was a bit pricy but wonderful. Look forward to returning here again sometime for dinner.

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.
