Ocean Grill & Bar is in many ways a testimony to the bounty of the sea, the adaptability of creating wonderous dishes from the vast variety of life beneath the waves and the endless multitude of flavors created by cultures all across the world using all manner of natures riches to bring out the natural beauty of seafood. Chef Lea has lived and breathed Key West's very own bounty of delicious seafood for over 20 years. Winning many awards along the way for items like 'Butter Poached Florida lobster' and our signature dish 'Shrimp & Grits', he decided to give back much of what he has learned and create a largely seafood menu with flavors ranging from Cajun/Creole to the far East of Asia. An eclectic gathering of the finest ways to enjoy what we are blessed to have on our very own doorstep. You can find on our menu or Special's board local items like Florida Lobster, many varieties of local Seafood. Join us for a feast of seafood paired with a wonderful and relaxed atmosphere.

We’re in Key West at least one week almost every year, but for a number of reasons, this was our first visit to Ocean Grill. The menu has great choices and specials, and they are prepared well. Service was fantastic. Their key lime pie is as good as anyone’s. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful restaurant in a quiet courtyard shared with other restaurants. Parking is in a mall just off Simonton & Virginia Streets. We ate inside, but the outside tables were also being enjoyed by many customers. We ordered the lobster bisque as the appetizer, and while it could have been a little warmer, it was delicious. For dinner we had the fettucine Alfredo and the Sticky Sesame Shrimp. Both delicious and greatly enjoyed. Our water glasses were constantly filled. I asked for hot tea to finish our meal and it wasn't made through the coffee maker - wonderful. Service was attentive and not rushed. Would absolutely eat here again!
