We had a lovely anniversary dinner at Key, ordered 2 entrees and 2 mains which were all beautiful and the meats were very tender. The service was very friendly and accommodating. We had mentioned our anniversary at the time of booking and even received a complimentary beautiful dessert to share! I can highly recommend this restaurant, particularly for people who... More

We had lunch and dinner on 2 consecutive days during our weekend stay up in Maleny to celebrate Mother's Day, our birthdays and anniversary. We visited Key Restaurant for lunch on Saturday. Like many others, we picked this restaurant based on the positive reviews on TripAdvisor. Also, the menu looked very unique and reminiscent of our honeymoon a few years... More

We went to Key based on the reviews on Trip Advisor. The food was amazing and full of flavour. What we liked best was the excellent service. Right from the time of booking, every staff member we encountered was helpful and friendly. We were regularly asked if we needed another drink and we did not have to wait long for... More

I can't wait to return. How many restaurants can you say that about? The decor is minimalist - all white warmed by the use of wood and offset by a few carefully selected African artifacts. The location is not ideal, being part of a shopping complex, but the real draw cards are the food and the service. Our waiter was... More

We visited Key for lunch on Easter Saturday, and although the weather was a bit on the average side, the food at Key more than made up for it. We'd never tasted African food, so were very excited to give it a whirl - and I'm happy to say we weren't disappointed. We shared a starter of Kelewele, and it... More
