Had a great experience at The Flaming Buoy in Key West! We were seated in the bar area, which had a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Brian was our waiter and couldn’t have been nicer — the service was attentive, friendly, and really added to the overall experience.
The food was delicious, the vibe was fun with the subtle Star Wars theme, and the artwork around the space was really interesting and added a lot of character. Overall, a memorable meal and a place we’d definitely recommend when visiting Key West.

The szechuan noodles are a 8 on the spice the flavor is amazing. I was sweating however it was the perfect balance of flavor and heat.
My wife had the yellow tail snapper with banana salsa, It was very fresh and balanced. The muffin was cooked to dust. Someone missed pulling them out. Cant give the meal less than 5 stars because of this that would be a 2 out of 5. Sure if it wasn’t overdone it would be amazing.
I would come back, this is a small business the owner sat us. The service was great. Next time I am in the keys I definitely will be back.

Spent some time in Key West over the weekend and stopped in for dinner. Ambience was unique and the food was incredible. Between my wife, my daughter and I, we ordered the chili, bacon wrapped scallops, grouper, Szechuan beef noodles, and fried bananas with ice cream. Every dish was outstanding but what stood out was the managements accommodations. When we arrive we were seated inside with a few other customers enjoying their meals. Unfortunately our 3yr old daughter was being a bit loud/rambunctious leaving me to take her outside a few times to avoid ruining the other patrons meals. While outside, a gentleman who I believe was the owner, asked if an outside table would help us. We agreed it would and he immediately sprung into action rearranging the outdoor furniture for us. He also brought out a few of his “action figure” rubber duckies for my daughter to play with. Above and beyond!! Highly recommend not only for the extraordinarily good food, but the top notch service.

We had dinner here on a weekday night in November. Our server Ryan immediately made us feel right at home. Super friendly and very accommodating. My wife had the spinach salad custom made to her preference, and without our even having to ask, he had the kitchen split the salad that I shared with her brother.
The menu is very creative with lots of choices. The grilled shrimp starter came with six grilled shrimp and was enough for a dinner portion. The entree trio was amazing–filet mignon with blue cheese butter, three grilled shrimp, and lobster Mac and cheese, with a heaping portion of mashed potatoes. An absolutely amazing dish. The filet mignon was so tender and tasty. One of the best I’ve had.
While there are no cocktails, the beer and wine selection is extensive.
Lots of interesting desserts. We chose spicy quesadillas with chocolate sauce and a dish of vanilla ice cream on the side. Very tasty.
All our food was expertly prepared, fresh and delicious. Service was superb, and the ambiance was very nice. The restaurant is relatively small inside. Perfect for a romantic dinner, special occasion or just a relaxing evening.
We will definitely return the next time we vacation in the area. If you want a terrific dining experience, this restaurant is the place to go.

Small, quaint, quiet restaurant off Duval Street. Good service and nice wine selection. The food was amazing! We had spinach salad, bacon-wrapped scallops over mashed sweet potatoes and lobster mac and cheese. Décor is a bit eclectic. Wish we lived in Key West, we would go back more than once!

There are not enough stars in the sky (or on the internet) to give to this restaurant so, sadly, I must award them only five stars.
My spouse and I ate at this restaurant 2 years ago on our last trip to KW so when we came back and experienced the same level of hospitality and delicious food to say I was delighted was an understatement.
Brian and the rest of the staff are the real gems here. If you want a mix of genuine humanity and humor then please make a reservation for this KW original. The ambiance, decor, and cuisine are not to be missed either. (I strongly recommend the bacon wrapped scallops.)
With so many restaurants to choose from on the island I hope you will stop by and experience what the staff works so hard to offer; good food and great atmosphere. Thanks again for another great night and making our anniversary dinner one to remember!

We went for happy hour, which was fantastic! Had the trio appetizer which was delicious. Great wine selection, but the service was top tier! We’ll be going back again before the end of our trip. Close to the theater so it’s perfect before or after a show.

Juan was THE BEST server! The best vibes. The best food. The best service here in Key West. A truly hidden gem in the Keys and will be coming back. The owners and the energy were superior. The wine selection is extremely vast and many choices to pair perfectly with your food.
