We went prior to a ticketed event so our time frame for dinner was limited; we were fortunate to get in without a reservation - would have preferred eating outside but we had a nice view from our inside table. I agree with the other comments - allow time for the experience and be sure to have reservations and state... More

Mallory square restaurant with great outside searing to listen to the band outside. Food and service was great 5 The menus were novel with the back light so you can read the pages well. Watch the sunset, eat here, hit the lively bar just outside or the bar in the restaurant, lovely evening spent here.

Outstanding food, outstanding service and breathtaking view. Do not miss this hard to find place (next to the glass bottom boats), which is one of the best places in Key west. The food is excellent, the Key Lime Pie is the best I've tried in Key West, the service is excellent, friendly but not too familiar. Try to get there... More

We had made last minute reservations and were hoping to have an unobstructed view of the sunset only to be set outside without a straight shot of the sunset. Unfortunately, there were NO other seats available. We decided to stay and wait it out and we are very GLAD we did. My first recommendation is to book ahead if you'd... More

The food is of the highest quality and is matched by the professional staff that enhances your dining experience. Would ove to recommend one item but everything on the menu... More

We were late and missed the sunset - but dinner and location was good! The table outside on the terrace was on our request and by reservation, so we where happy to get what we got!

My party of 4 had a magnificent Mothers Day Brunch last Sunday at Hot Tin Roof. Nice views, good waiter, and great food are hard to beat. I had an unusual Bloody Mary to start, along with broiled oysters and shrimp grits. Delicious, and everyone in my party agreed. I can't wait to return some day for dinner.

IF you want a great place to eat, see the sunset, and be treated like your business is appreciated don't come to Key West without dining here. The decor is rich but relaxed. The wait staff is excellent as in the managment. Food is excellent with a broad menu.

This was a spot recommended by the concierge at Parrott Keys Resort. We were greeted by Joseph, the maitre d’, who may very well be the most gracious host in the business. He quickly resolved some confusion with our reservations and seated us at a sunset view table. The food was outstanding. The Scallop Picata, with parpadelle pasta and tomatoes,... More

We made an online reservation for dinner (to coincide with the sunset) asking to be seated on the deck. On arrival, no tables were available outside, We were dismayed with this news and were offered alternative seating that wasn't what we wanted. The hostess consulted with Joseph (who seemed to be in charge), He was wonderfully gracious, sent us to... More
