    I could write so many good and excellent things about this restaurant and especially about its staff, thank you, they are excellent. We arrived without a reservation but the waiter was very kind, he placed us at a table. The attention of the staff is so warm, friendly, respectful and with excellent recommendations. The atmosphere of the site is very charming. The food is a poem to the palate. Do not forget to eat the Limonpie that has been the best in key west for 2 consecutive years. The restaurant does not have parking but very close you have many parking options. In short, you have to go to this restaurant and live the experience. Absolutely recommended.

    Don’t miss this perfect little spot while traveling to Key West! The crispy corn flake battered French toast with blueberry jam is THE brunch item to order & the lobster Mac & cheese is some of the best I’ve tasted! Pro Tip: Go for the hangover happy hour (from 9-11:30am) or the afternoon happy hour (from 4-6pm) and ask to sit at the upstairs bar. You won’t be disappointed!

    We had a reservation for a party of 9. We were supposed to have it in the upstairs space but when we got there, they told us our table was given to another group because they arrived before us. We ordered the warmed Brie and cinnamon rolls, but both were brought out cold. They did end up bringing out an actually warmed Brie and warm cinnamon rolls. One person in our group ordered the fried chicken sandwich. It was well undercooked. They ended up remaking her food but she didn’t get it until everyone was done eating. We were also supposed to have champagne but did not get it. Our server then brought out a pie for the mistakes. However when we received our bill, it was on there. She offered to give us the pie free or a 10% discount on our bill. We ended up speaking with a manager later in the day (who was not working at the time of our brunch) and he comped our whole meal, which was the best customer service we received the whole time. The food itself was good. We did enjoy the entrees once they were corrected. Due to the service, we would not return, at least in a large group. However, the food was tasty and worth trying.

    Great location in an old two story house on the south end of Duval St. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the grouper, my son had the swordfish, my wife had the shrimp fettuccine alfredo, and our uncle had the ahi tuna. We shared the lobster mac and cheese appetizer, as well as the barbecued bacon wrapped shrimp and warm brie. They have a great wine list, and their house well drinks are top shelf good! The Key Lime Pie was amazing!! It's worth the money and the wait. I recommend getting a reservation though.

    Love the atmosphere and food!. Excellent biscuits and gravy and mimosas. Loved them so much, I went back twice! We also had a fabulous dinner there! Whether you want brunch or fine dining for dinner, this is your place.

    I can say this meal was perfect. I went to key west for a weekend getaway and happened to stop here for brunch. Lovely restaurant in a key west style home. Drinks were great. Got the French toast and lobster omelette, both were superb. 💗 def will be a staple if I ever come back to the keys.

    Maybe an off day, but I tried the lobster eggs Benedict, beautifully plated, but over cooked. Hubs had lobster Mac and it was very good. I’m not a mussels fan, but are told they are great- take advantage of happy hour if you can! Beautiful place!

    🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Review: Bagatelle Restaurant in Key West! 🦞🍽️🏠 I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bagatelle Restaurant in Key West, and I must say it was an absolutely delightful experience! This hidden gem combines a seafood-focused American eatery with the charm of a historic 1884 house, complete with wraparound balconies for prime people-watching. Let's start with the star of the show: the food. Bagatelle's brunch offerings are simply outstanding. The seafood dishes were incredibly fresh and flavorful, showcasing the best of what Key West has to offer. From succulent lobster tails to mouthwatering shrimp, every bite was a true seafood lover's dream come true. And let's not forget the classic American brunch staples like eggs benedict and fluffy pancakes, which were executed to perfection. But it wasn't just the food that impressed me. The ambiance of Bagatelle is something truly special. The historic house setting adds a unique touch of character, and the wraparound balconies offer a wonderful spot to enjoy your meal while taking in the vibrant atmosphere of Key West. It's a perfect blend of cozy and lively, making it an ideal spot for any occasion. The service at Bagatelle deserves a special mention as well. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was top-notch. Their attention to detail and genuine passion for their craft truly made a difference and added to the overall enjoyment of our brunch. I highly recommend Bagatelle Restaurant to anyone visiting Key West or even the locals looking for a new brunch spot. The combination of fresh seafood, historic charm, and impeccable service creates an unforgettable dining experience. Make sure to bring your appetite and prepare to be amazed! #BagatelleKeyWest #HiddenGem #SeafoodBrunchDelight #HistoricCharm #KeyWestEats #FoodieFinds Happy posting and bon appétit! 📸🍽️😊

    Lovely lunch upstairs at Bagatelle today! A cruise 🚢 ship had just docked. We were lucky to be seated. Warm and cordial service! Started off with two spritzer mock tails! Enjoyed our Eggs Benedict and burrata salad! A delightful oasis in the hubbub of Key West in peak season. See if you can spot the giant iguana who watched us eating!

    Came here when my husband and I went to Key West for our Baby Moon and oh my god this food!!! Not one complaint… everything was amazing. Our server was great, food was spectacular, absolutely adorable location and ambiance. Will absolutely be back next time we go to Key West

    This place had some great food and they make a good old fashioned too. The brief and the carpaccio were delicious, the shrimp fettuccine was bomb with the pasta tasting homemade and the desserts put me in a pleasant food coma.

    We had good staff interactions and everyone was friendly. The food was what you would expect and the swordfish was an awesome recommendation from the staff. We also had a tuna poke appetizer

    We added this reservation last minute to our KW trip and it ended up being a highlight! It is very conveniently located and we said that we are definitely coming back here next time we are in KW! The Lobster and Mac and cheese is as good as everyone says! It is not just hype!

  • 5/5 Neal E. 1 year ago on Google
    After many years decided to try. We were not disappointed. Excellent and inventive food and cocktails with attentive service. Highly recommend balcony seating with good views of old town. You can also heat the music from Hogs Breath better than in the bar.

  • 4/5 R F. 1 year ago on Google
    We had all the items everyone raves about (swordfish, lobster Mac, brussel sprouts)… even the Caesar salad and margarita were all great! I would say spend your time on the main course and skip the dessert! We had the bananas fosters brownie (recommended by our server). It wasn’t very good! Overpowering & extremely sweet! Bananas came in the form of a frozen ice cream topper (not warm and heated as one would expect). Desert was not worth raving about but definitely going back again!

    The excellent service was very promt & friendly. The lobster omellette with key lime Hollandaise was absolutely delicious and had plenty of lobster. The price was very reasonable for such a great dish in such a great location. The historic home gives the restaurante a very nice ambiance. My table on the front porch was a perfect perch to enjoy a meal while watching the people stroll along Duval Street and listen to the live folk music from across the street.

    AMAZZZZZZZZZING!!!!!! The best food on in the keys since we've been here! Wait staff was super friendly and helpful. It was a pleasant atmosphere,but the food was 10/10 amazing. Some of the freshest/tastiest food I've had anywhere. Fully recommend to anyone. 👍👍👌👌

    Enjoy a delicious brunch with great front porch seating! Many options to choice from but I love a good classic 2 egg breakfast! Also highly recommend starting with the glazed bacon!

    One of the nicer spots on Duval St in my opinion. We got the BBQ shrimp, lobster Mac, and their award winning swordfish dish. All delicious! It was busy so I would recommend grabbing a reservation

  • 5/5 Angelo R. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants in Key West. I celebrated my birthday here and it was fabulous. From the food and drinks, everything was superb. I had the Lobster Tail Risotto and also shared a Filet Mignon. Presentaton was impressive. Lobster was cooked just right and the risotto was succulent. The steak was cooked to perfection and nice size too. I also loved the Lobster Mac. My gawwd. To die for. So if you're looking for good surf and turf, this place is a must right on Duval Street. Opt to sit outside if you like to people-watch or enjoy a beautiful night with your friends. Can't wait to go back again here. It's not super expensive. For the quality and great service, its very reasonable.

    It was an excellent meal and atmosphere. We had a reservation, and we ended up eating outside on the porch around 8pm. The ceiling fans were nice - just enough to cool, but not enough to blow items on the table. Service was expedient and attentive, and the food was cooked perfectly. Would definitely recommend visiting this restaurant.

    We go to Bagatelle every time we come to Key West . We had reservations at 10 but decided To go to Brunch at 9. We kindly asked the host if we could move to a closer table to the front but she couldn’t . No big deal. We ordered water and unfortunately the glass had old lipstick marks on it. The server quickly got another one and it was fine . I really enjoyed the eggs Benedict. And the breakfast potatoes were great. I did have a shell in my eggs so it made me not want to eat anymore but Hubby had Banana Foster French Toast and it was Amazing !!! I don’t even usually like it and tasted it and the sauce was amazing . Definitely check it out for Brunch if you are in key west

    What an incredible meal !! Delicious and wow. Every dish felt like it was made specifically for our table. Our server was funny and helpful. He guided us well on how to order and pair our wine with it. Muscles and lobster were the best and the flavors were exceptional. Haven’t tasted them before. We also ordered the special for that day and glad we did. Ended our meal with dessert and ordered a key lime pie. This was flavorful and mind blowing. Loved every bit of the pie!!
