My first time having beef Wellington and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff also surprised me with a surprise birthday dessert. The waiter was very kind, attentive and made suggestions that were helpful.

Absolutely our favorite happy hour (4-5pm) on our visit to Key West. With reasonably priced drinks and half price generous appetizers, impeccable service it is a place I can recommend with confidence. We ordered a chocolatini for me and my hubby had a beer. We shared the schnitzel strips,sea scallops florentine, grilled vegetable sampler, and tropical Waldorf salad. All were delicious! Total bill before tip was in low 60 range. In my opinion, a very good value. Tip: Get there early as people line up to get in.

Wow, everything was spectacular and for me to give five stars means a lot. This was the best meal we’ve had since moving to Florida a little over a year ago. The service was great, the drinks were tasty, and the food was phenomenal. Whoever the chef was on December 21st 2024 should have a Michelin Star, everything was cooked perfectly.

My husband and I absolutely loved our experience at Martins. We had passed by everyday on our vacation in key west and on the final day decided to give it a try. We were beyond impressed with the price point and quality of the food- especially because we’ve found most restaurants in key west to be underwhelming. Prior to visiting Martins our top restaurant in key west was a&b lobster house - however our server at Martin’s was so extremely kind to us, gave recommendations and truly enjoyed chatting with us - as we did him! And that right there is why Martins is better than a&b lobster house. It’s not just about the food it’s about the experience as well and Martin’s did not disappoint.

Martin's is a must-attend happy hour!!! Excellent tapas menu. We had the German potato soup and Tropical Waldorf Salad - both were very good. Had a few very good drinks, too, including a Lemon Drop martini, Key West Sunset martini and Key Lime martini. Excellent food/service at excellent prices during happy hour!

This place is a must do for me anytime I’m in Key West for the beef Wellington alone! The scallops are also above and beyond. The servers are very knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. To me this is the best fine dining in Key West.

Food here is amazing ! Blake was our server and he did a phenomenal job! He was very attentive and made sure our table was squeaky clean! He also made me drink that was very delicious ! The lamb and the shrimp Alfredo was mouth watering and the apple strudels dessert was delicious! My only complaint was a they had an issue with the outside power and so the fan and the lights on one side were out however we did move seats to be closer to a fan and that definitely changed the experience. They accommodated us in every way. 10/10
