    Southern outpost of a Manhattan mainstay. This was a nice upscale location for a quick brunch (no reservations for this meal, only dinner). The steak and lobster eggs benedict was a little bland, but high quality and the table service was nice and professional. (I can't remember the last time I heard a deep wine list discussion before the order of a western omelette). I think this is 5 stars for most; their food runs a little too sweet for me. Coffee was excellent.

    The brunch food was fine but the service and overall experience was really lacking. They didn’t have a menu for brunch drinks, I didn’t know what coffees and juices they had and the server didn’t really list them all. I found that very odd. The hostess told us 20 minutes but the wait was 45. I went inside to the bathroom and they had tons of cleared tables but still weren’t seating anyone. They waited to clear an entire room before seating us. Very strange. Then the server shouted the specials to the entire room so she, in her words, wouldn’t have to repeat herself. Which meant no one could really ask any questions. The server barely came around. The pancakes were just ok. Overall, it just wasn’t really worth it.

    I was craving grits and took a chance that this special would be featured based on reviews. The shrimp and grits should be a menu staple. They were hands down the best cheese grits of my life. Atmosphere and service also phenomenal. Other notable menu items, the bloody Mary, the benedict and the feature margarita special.

    This was such a welcoming and relaxing place! We so enjoyed our time at Sarabeth's! My absolute favorite was the goat cheese appetizer. Let's just say that I cleaned the plate. I followed it with bacon wrapped shrimp with coconut rice. It was good, but the goat cheese was just phenomenal. My sweets had a surf and turf, including both scallops and shrimp, along with the turf part (gosh-- can't remember the cut) and finished with a beautiful apricot bread pudding.

    I don't know. The server was so awesome, I really wish the rest of the restaurant followed suit. I had surf and turf Benedict, and it was just ok. I ordered 2 meals, bc I wasn't sure what I wanted, so the second plate was key lime French toast. It sounded so good from the menu, but really was thin and flat French toast, covered in Key lime sauce that was watery and runny. We took a table outside, and it's a little too dark and overgrown, I think. Ducking the sun in Key West is critical, bc it can get crazy hot, but this seemed dankish. The inside looked way better. They were serving some pretty cool looking drinks, though. The Benedict I ordered was the special, maybe I screwed up by doing so.

    Amazing food and service!! We just had one of the best breakfasts on key west so far! I had the lobster omelet special that was unbelievablely delicious and fairly priced. My girlfriend had the shrimp and grits of the specials menu and said it was the best cheese grits she has ever had. She also had a mango mimosa that really put her morning in the right direction lol,she loved it!! Overall 10/10. Fully recommended for a wonderful breakfast or brunch. It was so wonderful that we are probably going to try dinner this trip while going back for breakfast/brunch also.

    Wow what a delicious experience! Definitely recommend the cheese grits and blueberry muffin. We had the shrimp and bacon omelette, ham and Gruyère omelette, egg sandwich, millionaire bacon, Berry yogurt bowl, cheesy grits, almond Capt crunch banana French toast and mimosas! Did not disappoint!

    Brad is the best server I've had in all my trips to Key West. The key lime French toast was phenomenal and because my birthday was the day before, he brought me out a piece of apricot bread pudding and sang to me. Service was fast and he went above and beyond to make me feel like I matter in this world.

    During our Keys trip for my dad's birthday in May we stopped into Sarabeths thanks to a friend's recommendation. I got the lobster omelet and my dad got the shrimp and bacon omelet, both were delicious! We also got mimosas for the table to celebrate his birthday. PB&J, Elderflower, Key Lime, and Caramel Apple. These concoctions were made and personally served by Brad, my favorite was the PB&J but they were all delicious and creative. Definitely a must stop when in the Keys, I certainly will be back!

    Really welcoming place, not very busy for weekday brunch. The service was fantastic, food was even better. I recommend the French Toast!

    Great fresh food at a reasonable price. The servers are funny and very personable - they always add to the dining experience. The best dish of the night was the tuna entree. It was perfectly seared. A great crispy pickled cucumber salad came on the side with a couple of well salted wontons and ginger. It was well composed and thoughtfully put together. The only nit was that there were a little too many sesame seeds on the crust but mostly just around the parts that are mostly edge. The wasabi grits were creative and delectible. Calamari - I liked the breading but overall overcooked and slightly chewy. The dish was not oily though. The sauce on the side was very flavorful and full bodied. Beef Tips appetizer - pretty good appetizer but didn't realize they were fried - 4 came in a serving. There was a huge salad underneath - might be too big for the appetizer itself but welcome by our table for some extra greens. The dressing on the greens was top notch and had a little kick. Swordfish - nice portion but not as juicy as other swordfish on the island. I liked the greens and asparagus. Felt like a light healthy meal compared to other dinners that I had in KW. Chicken Curry - juicy chicken and very mild curry. It could use a little spice by my standard but my mother in law loved it. It was her 6th day of all seafood so a welcome reprieve to all the fish. Overall we really liked the atmosphere and fresh ingredients. We will be going back during our second week in KW!

    It was a second choice but glad Pepe's (noisy and looks a bit run-down and dingy when we had coffee there) could not accommodate us. Sarabeth's - Super-friendly efficient staff, nice and clean, nicely decorated place. Food was excellent. And the have "reading glasses" :-)

    When my wife and I are on vacation, we almost never visit the same restaurant twice, as there are too many we wish to experience. However, we made an exception on this vacation as Sarabeths was too exceptional to not re-visit. I can honestly say the food alone was reason to go back, however, it was the friendly and noteworthy service of Brad and Aaron that actually brought us back to the door! Great job and this will be a yearly stop for us!

    One word, AMAZING!! Not only is the food amazing but the customer service is out of this world!! My husband and I loved the shrimp and grits which I think was a special. My daughters loved the pancakes and French toast. The mimosas were amazing as well. I would start name dropping but the staff are ALL awesome with energetic positive attitudes. The service was so great we came back a second time and we were yet again met with those energetic positive attitudes. Do yourself a favor and stop by this awesome establishment!

    Staff was friendly and restaurant was clean. I chose this place based on a tok review. My server spoke very very loudly (in a happy tone) but entire restaurant heard all the specials again, very impersonal..( patrons commented) The Mango pineapple mimosa was ok, but warm! My crabcake Benedict was cold and the bacon was undercooked and fatty. Restrooms were very clean! Maybe next time! Will try again!

    Amazing food. Amazing service. You can tell there is a lot of love going in to each dish. This is a great intimate spot for dinner or brunch. Highly recommend!

    My husband and I have gone to Sarabeth's NYC, which is quite amazing with the food, service, and presentation. Their location in key west did not fall short at all. Our brunch was amazing here as well. I've never had any complaints with this restaurant, no matter the location!

    What a wonderful experience. We shared the grilled Octopus app which was tender and delicious. I had the Tuna rare and my wife had the Snapper. Everything looked amazing and tasted better. The fish was very fresh. Service was excellent. Thank you for an amazing meal.

    WOW! What an amazing experience! Our waiter(s) were all so attentive and made our brunch super special. The food was also incredibly good and the mimosas were VERY tasty! I just mentioned it was my daughter’s birthday and they brought out a piece of Key Lime pie with a candle and sang her Happy Birthday! PURR PERFECTION!!!!

    We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast/brunch here! Our server, Brad, made sure we were well taken care of and was overall just an absolute delight to be around. Our party of 5 all enjoyed our meals and we all left in good spirits!
