Maten var ok men inte mer än så, Servicen ok men var svårt att få kontakt med servitriserna.
Det som drar ner är att det var svinkallt i lokalen och vi beställde cola att dricka till maten som var helt odrickbar. Den smakade klor mer än cola.

We had an incredible experience at Margaritaville in Key West! From the moment we walked in, the island vibes, upbeat atmosphere, and great music set the perfect tone for a relaxing and fun meal.
Our waitress, Mirena, was nothing short of amazing. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel like we were on vacation from the moment she greeted us. Her recommendations were spot on!
The 5 O'Clock Somewhere cocktail was the perfect tropical escape in a glass, refreshing and perfectly balanced. We started with the shrimp dip, which was absolutely delicious, creamy, flavorful, and served with just the right amount of kick. The club sandwich was also to die for, stacked high, fresh, and full of flavor.
Highly recommend this spot whether you're a Parrothead or just looking for a great time in Key West. We'll definitely be back, and asking for Mirena again!
