The best dinner we have had so far in Florida. The conch salad was gorgeous. The golden tilefish and the Tuna were perfectly cooked and the sides were excellent. It was so good that we decided to try the Key Lime pie which was the best we got so far. The only (small) downside was that the light was too dim to really appreciate that the dishes were beautiful as well.

This place is amazing!!! Loveeeeeeee their seafood!!! Everything is super fresh and most importantly, nothing is overcooked!!! 10/10 recommend their oysters. Must try their seafood salad! Overall, super impressed.

We came here for lunch on the recommendation of a chef/restaurateur friend and it did not disappoint. It is a small space, but classy. We had the tilefish sandwich special, the grilled cheese, and the steak sandwich. All were delicious. The grilled cheese is very rich, my daughter and I shared that and the fish sandwich, and that turned out to be a good choice. It would be hard to eat a whole grilled cheese despite how good it is. We saw the oysters at a neighboring table and they were nicely presented. Highly recommend the Thirsty Mermaid!

Tried this restaurant slightly off Duval. Very nice experience with good food and service. Wife and I enjoyed our experience.

Small menu, but everything done to perfection! Seafood and pasta are their strengths. Don't take reservations but do their best to seat you with a minimum wait.

Looks unassuming, but the food is fabulous. Loved the oysters, the fish, and even the profiteroles for dessert. The owner is a fisherman, so...

Such a great restaurant with smaller crowds than in the thick of Duval. We went in to buy swag (given the great logo) & stayed for the best meal of our stay in KW. The green gazpacho was a unique change from the standard recipe. The snapper sandwich was incredible and the potato salad is a MUST. We all (4) agreed it was the best we'd ever had! The lobster roll was fresh & delicious. Our hostess Laura was knowledgeable of the area, a wonderful server & delightful human. We will certainly be back on our next trip down. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Just visiting key west for some R&R. This place was fantastic. The food was amazing. Highly recommended!

Excellent spot for lunch. Good wine and beer selection. Raw bar and seafood.

Perfect gem on Fleming Street just off Duval. What first attracted me here were the fresh raw oysters about 7 years ago. Now we just don't missed it, for either lunch or dinner, usually for lunch and a bit lighter fare. Pop in for a glass of wine or a lager with a snack, or have a full out lunch or dinner. I've had practically everything on the menu and it's just consistently excellent with warm and friendly service. They have an excellent happy hour menu as well. Great place to chill.
