Reviews
"Amazing dining experience at Hot Tin Roof. We were in town for my fiancés birthday and decided to come here for dinner after reading the reviews and seeing the photos. As soon as we walked in we knew we chose the right spot. We sat inside by the glass doors which was definitely the move considering the heat. Our server, Andrei, was incredibly kind and pleasant. His service was fantastic- he gave us time when we needed it, coursed our meal out appropriately and checked in at the right times. He definitely knows how to read a table. The food was AMAZING. We got the tomato and burrata salad, lobster bisque, crabcake and the grouper. We ended with the key lime pie and the creme brûlée. We will definitely be back the next time we visit Key West and hopefully sit with Andrei again!"
"Was in town for a few days, and a friend recommended it. I had the fried whole fish snapper. With Brussel sprouts and iceberg salad. Friends had small plate grouper and sword fish. Everything was very good. The view made the night watching the sunset from our very nicely positioned table. What a view of the marina. Make reservations it's worth it. Desert. We tried 4, and the bread pudding won the night. Everything was very good, but it stood out. Wine, Moscato, was excellent but a little pricy. We still grabbed 2 bottles. I will go back here every time I visit"
"We enjoyed the outdoor seating with a stunning view of the sunset. As food we ate the small dishes ciabatta bread, lobster bisque, tuna taco, and tomato/burrata and mac/cheese. Great taste and detail. More than enough for 2 people even only smaller portions. Also great service, very recommendable for a romantic dinner... just enjoy!"
"We visited Hot Tin Roof while on vacation in Key West. It was so good we had dinner there twice. Wow!!! I honestly never expected to have such good food in a tourist area. The food was creative and full of flavor. It is the perfect place to view the amazing sunset. Joanne was our server, she was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She explained how to eat a whole fish which we had never done before but wanted to be adventurous. We had the Scottish salmon, the plantain crusted swordfish, tuna tacos, the whole snapper fish. And the dessert. We had the Cuban bread pudding and it was so delicious that my husband embarrassingly ordered a second dessert. He said if he left Key West and didn’t have more of that dessert he would regret it."
"The food here is great. The hostess was a bit weird lol. We made a reservation at 8pm and were sat at that time. The service was good. We went there for my boyfriend's bday dinner. He said his meal was a bit on the cooler side temperature wise. However, my salmon was perfect. They placed a small happy birthday sign at the table after we had sat. The view from outside is nice. Overall good experience."
