    Pedimos limonada, y nos dijeron que no tenían y solo nos ofrecieron agua sin preguntarnos si queríamos otra bebida. El key lime pie, estaba súper ácido, con nada de crema o merengue. La comida tardó en llegar. El ambiente es chill… pero no recomendamos ir

    While in Key West, you've got to go to the original Margaritaville. The experience was good, the service was good, and the food was good. My wife said the margarita was very good, and she can be pretty picky about margaritas. It pretty much lived up to expectations. Would have liked to have seen some more vegetarian options on the menu.

    For a starter try the Cajun Shrimp Dip. It is awesome. The Cheeseburger in Paradise was very good. Went back a couple days later just for the Cajun Shrimp Dip.

    Haven't been there since the last time we stopped in on a cruise. Bar staff is super nice and very efficient. Enjoyed my visit wasting away this time as well.

    Good service... the second night. We were turned away for a last minute staff Christmas party and offered a free drink when we returned the following night. A good dining experience. Fast service. Friendly staff. Good live music.
