Four Marlins Oceanfront Dining

Three of us ate dinner here on a weekday in early November. The restaurant was almost empty so we had our choice of tables and sat outside. This was one of our best dining experiences in Key West. This is elegant oceanfront fine dining. Yes it’s expensive, but for us well worth the ambiance and terrific food and attentive service. For appetizers we had shrimp cocktail (one of the best), grilled focaccia bread (very delicious), and lobster tostadas (yummy). The Four Marlins house salad was fresh and very tasty. The Jumbo Prawns and Grilled Swordfish dinners were incredible. For dessert the Key Lime pie and berry cake hit the spot, as did the espressos and butterscotch martini. Our server Ashley was very accommodating and at no extra cost gave us a couple of extra pieces of the focaccia br

Our first time to Four Marlin’s, aswell as our first time in Key West. We spent the past few days exploring the food scene out here, doing research from Google and ChatGPT on the best places to go. But ironically, the suggestion to dine at Four Marlin’s actually came from a nice man “Ricky” in Concierge rather than any of that. Ricky told us to try the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, which he claimed to be the best on the island. My fiancée and I were a bit skeptical — not gonna lie, but his passion in speaking about the sandwich inspired us to try it. We went to the restaurant at around 8:30pm and noticed it was not on the menu, we kindly asked our server if we could order it and after speaking with the Chef she said it was ok. Well, this thing is BIG! It’s stacked and it’s beautiful. T

We came to Four Marlins Oceanfront Dining on 03.04.2026 to celebrate our friend’s birthday. The location and atmosphere are beautiful, but unfortunately the service really took away from the experience. When we first sat down, I politely asked our server if my partner and I could have a separate check. I even clarified that it could simply be one check for the two of us. She responded that she could only split the table into four checks, which felt confusing since we were just asking for one check for two people. When ordering the tuna tartare, I asked if it could be served with crackers instead of the fried rice it normally comes with. I didn’t expect a guarantee, but there was no response or suggestion - just silence - which felt dismissive. The lobster mac and cheese ($36) was also unde

The reviews were mixed, the prices are about 10% higher than going elsewhere near by. The service was excellent, Kay sat us on the outside patio and Jose was our waiter. Both were friendly and attentive. Jose introduced himself, took our order, checked in with us often and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our dining experience. The fresh juices and coffee were flavorful, the breakfast plates were well prepared and you could taste the good quality ingredients as well as the care taken in preparation. When considering being able to walk from the room straight down to brunch and not have a wait or a walk to an eatery, the slightly higher cost is more than worth the value of eating here as a guest of the hotel. Huge thanks to Jose, it was great chatting with you and we wish you a

What a catch! My party of four had a delicious lunch of fish tacos and fish sandwiches. Flavors were spot on. The pineapple jalapeño margarita was exceptionally well mixed, and had the perfect spicy kick. We had an incredible view of the beach and ocean. The traffic was steady, but relaxed.
