The food is excellent, the service always impeccable and there's just a great vibe here. We try to go often but it's tough so make a reservation early!

Outstanding in every way. Love the Star Wars motif and awesome, consistent food & service. We go every year.

We didn't have a reservation (definitely needed). There were bar seats open and so glad we stayed. Food was awesome and the bartender was great.

A nice quiet little place off Duval Delicious food and great service. You will not be disappointed

Amazing food and service!!!!!!!!! We love coming here when we are in key west! The Szechuan green beans and noodles are our favorite!

If I could give this place 11 stars, I would. My husband and I shared 3 of the Happy Hour plates; each dish was better than the last. There's not a single negative in our experience, short of not being able to eat MORE!!!! The sci-fi-nerdy-retro decor brings many childhood memories rushing back, while enjoying an elevated dining experience. Our host, Brian, was amazing and added to an already stellar experience.

Excellent, they embrace happy hour, which is a good one! Service was really good, until the place got busy. Tried several dishes, lobster Mac n cheese is a must. Overall I recommend, give it a try!

Best meal we had in 4 days in Key West! Appetizers, snapper and avocado cheesecake were all phenomenal. Don't miss this funky place off the beaten path.

Must do in Key West! The styling of the restaurant is super unique and the food is amazing!

After reading reviews, I made reservations for dinner during our visit to Key West. It was conveniently located just across the street from our hotel, The Saint. They have a great wine list and we enjoyed a glass while deciding on dinner. We shared the wedge salad with a delicious dressing and tons of blue cheese. Since we agreed to share, it was served separately so we each had our own plate. For dinner, we decided on the special which was a bacon wrapped filet, stuffed lobster and the most delicious mashed potatoes. Pure gluttony! The service was fantastic - always making sure we had all we needed (and indeed we did!). Completely full and satisfied, we stumbled across the street to our hotel. We will definitely enjoy dinner there again when we return!
