We chose to sit at the bar and appreciated Nicole's personal suggestions and service. We both were privileged to enjoy the wonderful presentation and marvelous flavor of the " Island Shrimp and Crab Cake " appetizer.
This was an excellent choice for our last evening in Key West. We went to see the sunset from Mallory Square and then we wanted to find a place that was within walking distance, pet friendly & romantic. No pressure there! Well, it turned out that the Rooftop Cafe was the perfect solution. They were very kind about our small dog joining us. We had a very lovely table up on the deck. Our waitress, Nicole, was extremely pleasant and very knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. Our meals were definitely the highlight, though. Both our choices were amazing, so well put together. We also enjoyed sharing a delicious dessert. All in all, it was the perfect place to dine on our last night in Key West!
Chef Brendan Orr personally visited to ensure our satisfaction which added to the very special feeling we will always have for the Roof Top Cafe.
My wife followed with the incredible " Tuna Tartare". I chose the evening special of " Red Snapper " which proved truly to be the best I have ever enjoyed.
Very nice atmosphere. Our waitress, Amy, was very helpful and pleasant. If I ever come back to Key West I will surely stop by and have another tasty meal at this place!
I've seen reviews of this place saying that it's better at lunch, and maybe it is so I'm giving it a 3 star but I think based off the dinner I had, it's a 2 star. The GOOD: decent views, decent staff (but they should be educated better on their specials if they're going to have any) and that's about it for the good. The BAD: the food was very sub par even though their menus/photos online show these 5 star looking meals. The flavor isn't really there and I do think the chef(s) could use additional education on cooking seafood. The mussels, shrimp and calamari were fairly chewy and one mussel I could not chew at all. My partner ordered a pasta with chicken, tasted like pasta water with tomato chunks. The waitress noted that this dish was olive oil, basil and tomatoes and "not sure what we expected" but we've had meals like this before at other places with the same exact description and it actually had flavor. We returned this meal and had a mushroom pasta that can be compared to a "mushroom hamburger helper". The decor of the place must look better in the late evening or night because I wasn't a fan of their decor choices or the dusty fake plants hanging down above the tables especially if you're going to charge $28 or $24 for a pasta dish. I personally won't be going back here but if you don't mind the things I've mentioned above, give it a shot.
Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere. Excellent scallops and gnocchi. Excellent service as well.
*DINNER IS EXPENSIVE*
By far the most outstanding food we found on Key West. Lovely open interior.
