   What a great dining experience for my Birthday! Our sever John was the best explaining everything in great detail. We started out with the fantastic deviled eggs topped with scallops which were over the top terrific . Next 2 of us had the grilled Caesar and 2 had the pear goat cheese salad, all were scrumptious. For Dinner I had the Seafood medley which was done to perfection, 2 had the Fish of the day Black grouper and 1 had their signature dish yellow tail, they all said they were delicious. Dessert we had the signature lavender cheesecake which is a must try, along with the Key Lime pie which we were told has won number one at the Key Lime Festival many times over. Don’t forget to make a reservation as this small hidden gem fills up fast!

   This was our best dinner out while on a short and fun anniversary vacation. The pork belly appetizer was amazingly good. The yellow tail dish was fantastic and the key lime pie was the best that we had in Key West. Service was also outstanding and made us feel special as we celebrated our anniversary. This is an outstanding place to go as a couple looking for more of a fine dining experience in Key West. Red Shoe Island Bistro is our “must go” list for our next trip to Key West.

   Red Shoe Island Bistro is the best ever! The food is phenomenal! Everyone should go and enjoy the food and the warmth and welcoming of the staff! It’s like you are welcome in their own home for dinner! We are from Tennessee and have been to Key West 5 times in a year and one of our first to do’s is to dine at Red Shoe! They go above and beyond!

   This is a must if you’re visiting key west. Every dish from the appetizer to dessert was amazing. The wine our server suggested was also soooo so good. This place came highly recommended by two friends before we made our reservations and now we understand why they were pushing it so hard. Absolutely delicious—if you haven’t eaten here, you haven’t done key west.

   Excellent dining experience. Would like to see more options for non-fish eaters.

   This restaurant is a real gem!! Limited seating (6pm or 8pm) and a limited menu is pure genius and allows this restaurant to shine!! Book ahead so you're sure to get a table. You won't want to miss the experience! I have a seafood and shellfish allergy, John the restaurant owner reached out directly to assure me they could accomodate me. They went above and beyond making sure I was safe eating at RSIB. Onto the food... I had the pork belly app, pear and blueberry goat cheese salad and the stroganoff. My husband had the stuffed shrimp, caesar and yellow tail (their specialty). The portions, taste, seasoning, IMHO, we're perfect!! We enjoyed our entire meal and can't wait to return!! On a side note, walk-ins are accomodated at the bar or at the few outside tables, but seating is limited. If you want to try RSIB you should make a reservation, you won't be disappointed!

    Our waiter was very attentive and our food was delightful. We had the lobster stuffed shrimp, split a caesar salad, and shared a bottle of Chardonnay the waiter recommended. For an entree I had the yellowtail snapper while my partner had shrimp prepared in a pepper sauce.
