Fine dining in Key West at it’s best! We chose it to celebrate a special birthday and it did not disappoint. The entire meal was exquisite leaving nothing to be desired from the ceviche starter and perfect drinks to the coffee and desserts! Pricy but you definitely get what you pay for!

I love they have tasting menu. I love the artistic presentation of food. I enjoy the hot foie gras, crab cake with mango purée, the salad and the sword fish. I would prefer my foie gras to be warmer. I like Chef’s visit to the table making it personal

This is a fantastic restaurant in a small town of many great restaurants! The service was on the spot. The bartender Wiatt was informed, engaging and creative. How about a twist on a whisky sour but with egg white? Yum! Also, tiny bar had some of the best top shelf spirits. We had the tasting menu so I can not explain what I ate, only that it was all perfectly prepared and displayed. Ok, maybe the Foie Gras was still to rich for me.

We ate dinner at the hotel’s restaurant. We did not stay at the hotel.

Had dinner here on a random Tuesday night during our honeymoon, and wow. I have eaten a lot of fantastic and expensive meals in my life- several at Michelin Star restaurants in places like Paris and Napa costing as much as $900 for two people- and this just might have been better than all of them. Food here is truly incredible. I’d be stunned if it’s not a Michelin restaurant soon. I can’t imagine there being something better in Key West. Magnificent.

Can’t say enough about this gem of a restaurant! Every bite of our dinners was exquisite! Creative, thoughtful, well composed dishes. The chef came out to each table to check in with the guests. Service is impeccable with well-trained, personable staff who can lead you through a perfect dining experience. A MUST place to enjoy in Key West!

Cafe Marquesa is one of the most elegant, yet friendly restaurants in all of Key West. It just might be the very best, in fact. We arrived without reservations but were encouraged to stay and eat at the bar where we were treated with the utmost kindness and professionalism. The wine list was fantastic. The food was absolutely delicious. The staff was extremely friendly and competent. The cocktails were amazing (must try the “la passione” cocktail. The atmosphere was perfect for an upscale yet casual restaurant perfectly situated off Duval Street in a quiet and fashionable neighborhood. The smiling owner was at the front door helping create this fantastic experience for all who entered. Smiling owner = smiling staff = smiling customers. Thank you for making the first night of our anniversary trip perfect!

There are only 2 outdoor dining tables overlooking to beautiful palms and greens next to it. You can expect an elegant fine dining experience at Cafe Marquesa from the moment you see the host until you leave the restaurant. The table was served an amuse bouche that was watermelon juice with cucumber and some herbs. We then tried Seared and Chilled Yellow Fin Tuna that comes with avocado puree, fresh tomatos and olives which was certainly delicious. For main, I had grouper that was served with vegetables and beans. I must say it was a satisfactory portion and and the fish was tender and soft. Grouper is very common in Key West and it’s the fish to eat really since it comes fresh. Swordfish was nice but its mustard was on the heavy side. Service was great, staff was attentive and kind. Prices are a bit high ($45-$65 for mains) but I think it’s worth if you are a foodie and want to dine with style one evening.

My wife and I along with our three young children had dinner at Café Marquesa on back to back nights in late September. It’s a small intimate setting and both nights we were the only people with children but based on what we had read we had to attend. The woman who set up the reservation was pleasant and accommodating. We had a large stroller that contains two infants and they made sure we had room. The cuisine was impeccable. As good as any restaurant I’ve ever been. We tried nearly every entrée off of the menu over two nights and every dish was executed to perfection. It Exceeded my expectations which were extremely high. They even allowed us bring our own bottle of wine and simply charge a corkage fee, (which too many restaurants have gotten away from as of late). Both nights we had a different member of the waitstaff and I could tell both of them were a bit green. However the dining room manager is very quick to step in and make sure guest questions are answered. Unfortunately I can’t remember his name but he is a kind professional team member as was the host who made are reservation and welcomed us. Second night there they even treated us to a dessert upgrade which was fantastic. I will definitely repeat.

Incredible Michelin worth experience. My girlfriend and I spent two nights at Key West, we came for dinner on the first night and did the tasting menu. We were so blown away we came back the next night to try a few items we didn’t have the previous night but wanted to order before deciding to go with the prefix. We definitely wanted to repeat the foie gras, they had run out of it by the time we got there. We considered staying an extra night in our trip just to come back and have it. Both our servers gave us top notch treatment. The exclusive wine list was impressive too. Congratulations!
