What an incredible experience! The service was amazing, the food was outstanding, and you couldn’t ask for a better view in Key West. We are locals and we’re here for a special occasion to try out the new restaurant, and could not have been more impressed! I would highly recommend this to anybody looking for a scenic dinner with amazing food, especially for a special occasion or just a nice night out.

Excellent meal. Reading reviews from right after opening I'd say they have gotten past the initial rocky patch a lot of restaurants have upon getting started. Service and food were excellent - view is top tier for KW. Dishes: arugula salad was one of the best salads I've had in KW, on par with the estiva at Onlywood. Ceviche was very good & fresh, could have used a little more seasoning / heat. Lobster ravioli was excellent. Champagne was cold and the pour was large. Flavor combinations were interesting and well thought-out. I expect this place will move into the regular rotation of restaurants for me. On the spendier end of things in KW.

Our food was delicious! I had the fish of the day, Atlantic salmon and my daughter had the pasta del Mar. Our server was as sweet as could be and it was thoroughly enjoyable!

The ambience is lovely and the service friendly, but for the price the food was simply not up to par. The Mahi Mahi was very dry, the Lobster ravioli just ok, both of our meals were at best luke warm. We ordered the coconut soup and asked for warm bread to go with it, not available. We had empty water glasses for the duration of our meal and that's just not acceptable in Key West! The whole experience was just disappointing, given the expectation of fine dining and the $$$$ spent!

Birthday. Zero celebration acknowledgement from wait staff. Ordered two glasses Perrier-Jouet champagne to enjoy with fresh oysters; at $50 a glass, the champagne arrived warm! Oysters were good. The lamb rack was ordered pink/medium rare. It arrived well done and cold. The other entree, fish was good. Afterwards talked to the restaurant manager, who has been there a few months. He told us the restaurant staff/chef all new & working out issues. He removed champagne & lamb entree charges. All in all, a huge disappointment for a birthday dinner at a high caliber property.

We had the Toes in the Sand experience and it was amazing! The location and table setup were beautiful and the service and food were impeccable. I can’t recommend this experience enough for a special occasion or just to treat yourself to a beachfront private dining experience. We booked a time that allowed us to be there for sunset and into the night. We can’t wait to go back!
