One of the most frequent questions that I get from people visiting Key West is about where to eat. And many times they want to eat out at least one night while taking in the gorgeous water views we have here in Key West. Being an island, there are numerous waterfront restaurants to choose from here.
Below is a list of waterfront restaurants to start your planning from! Some have full on views of the Atlantic Ocean, while others are located at marinas and give you a real island life feel. Enjoy an elegant evening out at some of the island’s fine dining options or there are plenty of casual places to eat on the water too!
