Having seen some wonderful reviews of this restaurant on TripAdvisor we decided to try it for ourselves -- and we were NOT disappointed. The waiter suggested that we skip the empanadas and try the gnochi with lobster along with their signature crab cake. Two of the best appetizers we have ever had -- anywhere! Everything was fresh and the evening... more

We went here for lunch one day and sat in a cozy corner outside on the rooftop. The view was pleasant and the service decent. The food was very fresh and tasty. My husband had the Mediterranean Salad and I had the Turkey pita. They were simple dishes, but very, very good! Our food looked pretty and when I walked... more

The food and atmosphere is excellent. Love the location just off Duval Street. The manager had her eye on me the whole time though. She either thought I was going to dine and dash or she thought I looked like Gregory Peck. Anyway, I would go back again. Great place. more

I'd first like to say that our dining experience was made exceptionally outstanding by our waiter Anthony. He was everything you hope for in friendliness and attentiveness whenever eating out, but especially when celebrating a special occasion. Our food was superb, my husband and I split a very generously-sized Cesar salad and our appetizer, the crab cakes done to perfection,... more

We are two zealous foodies and we take dining out seriously. This restaurant has received good reviews from many sources and we decided to give it a try--and what a pleasant evening! We were greeted by a friendly host who seated us outside on the balcony overlooking Front Street. We started our meal with pork empanadas which were delicious. I... more

We dropped in one night after eating elsewhere and happened to catch Chef Brendan Orr relaxing after service, great guy. So we came back a couple nights later for dinner, absolutely fantastic and the upstairs outside dining is perfect. The classiest place in Key West. Here's the letter we sent... Hi Chef Brendan, Brian, and Norman and Wednesday, Thank you... more

Great food. Mahi-mahi was excellent as was the scallops. We got here early so the Mahi-Mahi special included appetizer and dessert, which we shared ($32). The fish was fresh and was delicious. We sat overlooking the street which was nice to watch the passersby. Service was good. Would definitely dine here again. more

We went here during our trip to Key West based on the reviews on tripadvisor. The food was delicious and the service was great. We ordered the empanada and the crab cake as appetizers. The crab cake was the best I've ever had. My fiance doesn't even like the taste of seafood but he actually liked the crab cake! Our... more

The Roof Top Cafe is located on Front street which is just off Duval near the pier. According to the hotel staff, they had a small fire there and reopened under new ownership but they had no idea it was even doing business. We told them to recommend it to everyone - it was so good. We went to dinner... more
