We got engaged just before going out to dinner to Cafe Marquesa so it was a special dinner. Our waitress was phenomenal, she made recommendations and was very knowledgable...big pluses for us as most waitresses we find are pretty disinterested in what they do. It's a pretty intimate setting and good choices on the menu with resepct to local fare... more

This is our favorite restaurant in Key West. We have stopped there every trip we have made to Key West, and this time actually dined there twice so that we could take advantage of their always tempting tasting menu, where you get a two-course dinner for $28, the greatest value on the island a fine-dining experience; and a second trip... more

This is where you want to go for an elegant dining experience in Key West. The food is very good and we found the service to be excellent. Most of the diners were attired in "dressy casual" style in keeping with the decor and overall ambiance. more

It was simply wonderful. My partner informed the person who took his reservation... more

May just be a block but it's worlds away in class and style, but it maintains the friendliness of the island and... more

Food was to die for, wine was excellent, and this tiny boutique restaurant is perfect for conversation and relaxation. The staff makes it easy to relax and enjoy your evening. Good for couples looking for a pricy but romantic dining experience. more

I had the yellowtail snapper which was very good. My wife had the grapefruit sorbet for desert. fabulous. I had the key lime napolean. outstanding. Very good service.... more

After trying to go to two other restaurants that ended being closed, we stumbled across Cafe Marquesa. They say the third time is a charm and it certainly was. Beautiful interior, perfectly lit, romantic. Our waiter was great and informative. Our meal was equally as great with the exception of the dumpling appetizer which would have been wonderful if the... more
