Red Shoe Island Bistro - Key West (FL)

5 /5 Elżbieta Pisarzowska: A wonderful atmosphere and very helpful, warm, and welcoming service. The ambiance turned out to be perfect for a Christmas Eve dinner—very romantic. The dishes were exquisite; for seafood lovers, this is a perfect place. I especially recommend the shrimp and mango toast and the Caprese salad. It’s definitely worth coming back to try the rest of the menu. The flavors of the dishes truly delighted me!!!

5 /5 Anthony: I was skeptical of the rave reviews prior to eating here, but I was wrong. It is just as good/better than the reviews. Probably some of the best pasta/American/italian food I’ve had in the US, and I’ve tried a lot of the “best” places in NYC. I don’t like lime, but I devoured the key lime pie. It definitely is pricey, but the food is amazing. Our server, John, was also fantastic, and definitely persuaded us to eat more than we were planning to when entering the restaurant. The interior ambiance is also very romantic and intimate. Fantastic service, fantastic food, 10/10

5 /5 David Jernigan: Wow, this place is amazing! Everyone was lined up on the sidewalk waiting for the restaurant to open. The owner came out and recognized anniversaries, birthdays and those folks were seated first, which was very cool! The baked Key west shrimp stuffed with lobster appetizer was delicious, the Caesar salad was good with an original plating. The beef stroganoff was great, we were told it is an old polish recipe from the original owner. The catch of the day was wahoo, it was blackened and came with blackened shrimp, the sauce and salsa were full of flavor. We finished our meal with their homemade key lime pie, it was the best I’ve ever had. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. This was our best meal on the island. Make reservations, they fill up fast.

5 /5 Kelly Callahan: Susie and Sebastian made our night here at the Red Shoe. Such amazing and attentive service. We ordered their signature dishes, Beef Stroganoff and the Yellowtail Snapper along with the shrimp toast. All were absolutely amazing. I have learned a new love for dill at this restaurant. We also for desert got the Key Lime pie. When in Rome. The pie was also to die for. Not too tart or sweet and the crust was so yummy. So with that said, we are returning before we leave Key West. No pictures this time because we couldnt wait to taste everything. However, we will take pictures on our next visit. Thanking everyone at the Red Shoe for an amazing night.

5 /5 Matthew Brenner: Get a reservation here in advance. We got the beef stroganoff (which was sherry forward in flavor) and the deviled eggs scallops and the Caesar (pro tip: it comes grilled), and the stuffed poblano pepper. It was just 2 of us but this was more than enough food. The poblano pepper had delicious grits and the pepper wasn’t overcooked which I liked. The beef strog was flavorful and the pasta tasted homemade. The deviled eggs scallop tastes exactly how it sounds, if you like deviled eggs a lot than you’ll probably love this. I forget the server’s name but he was spectacular
