Cafe Marquesa is the Marquesa Hotel's 50-seat dining room in Key West, where chef Travis Lee crisps yellowtail snapper and plates oysters nightly.

Latitudes seats you on Sunset Key's beach after a short ferry from Key West, plating snapper and lobster bisque with the Gulf horizon as the back wall.
Tip: The launch leaves from the Opal Key Resort marina at 245 Front Street and your reservation time is the departure time; book the crossing, not just the table.

The Flaming Buoy Filet Co plays retro supper club on Eaton Street in Key West, searing yellowtail snapper with banana salsa under Star Wars memorabilia.

First Flight serves chef-driven plates and house beer in the 1927 building where Pan Am sold its first tickets, under a Key West garden tree canopy.
