I found these reviews as I was getting ready to recommend this restaurant to a colleague. In 2007 I had one of the best meals and service in my long life that includes visits to many famous restaurants. Someone's comment about bad vegetables on the order of nursing home pap contrasts strikenly to my memorably good ones that were crisp,... more

We went to Cafe Sole on the reccommendation of a local to try the hog snapper. It was the best fish I've ever eaten, and one of the best meals I've ever had. I loved the way the fish was cooked, lightly breaded with the creamy red pepper sauce, and the side dishes went with it perfectly. It was the... more

I have to say my choice to eat dinner at Cafe Sole this night was a bad decision. I read so many great reviews and was in between Cafe Sole and Louies Backyard. I choose Cafe Sole and knew the minute I walked in I would not like it. I should have turned around then but did not want to... more

We went to Cafe Sole on the recommendation of a local during our visit to Key West in May 2009. I highly recommend the dishes that we had during our visit. I had the hog snapper dish. It was fantastic. It is a lightly, white fish with a surprising sweetness that comes from the fact that the fish eats Key... more

My family had Easter dinner here. We ordered the prime rib, lamb and grouper dishes. The winner was the prime rib with a very close second for the grouper. Ambiance was like a garden cafe. Very attentive wait staff, wine was lovely and the owner was warm and inviting. more

I agree with other reviews, Cafe Sole used to be good. The atmosphere is still lovely but the food was minimal lacking any creativity and way overpriced for the quality. Cross this one off the list, there are so many great choices in Key West. more
