    Old school seafood spot reminiscent of times gone by, in a good way. Straight forward fresh fish and lobster. Our waiter has been there for 26 years; he was fab. Great wine list. A keeper.

    Stephen gave us great service. The Key Lime Pie here is truly the best I have had on the island and I've tried many 🤣. The steak and lobster are worth every penny. I also highly recommend the tuna tataki. Highly recommend A&B. We come every time we are in Key West.

    The Tuna was excellent and cooked perfectly. The lobster was a little tough but good. Nice atmosphere with a nice view when weather is good. The only issues would be cigarette type smoke that comes up from the street. I would recommend going at 5:3opm when they open if you want a nice out side seat with a view.

    È oramai la ventesima volta che mangiamo da A&B. Atmosfera e servizio eccellente, ma purtroppo il cibo non è stato all’altezza di tutte le altre volte. Mancava il sale su quasi tutte le pietanze, le ostriche Rockefeller (4 porzioni) poco gratinate ed il tonno quasi immangiabile (gusto di potpourri). Buono il dolce.

    Our waiter, Michol, was so helpful in making recommendations, helping with wine selection, and staying attentive despite an adjacent table being overly demanding and intrusive. Our food was well prepared, and portions were large. The tuna appetizer was beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. Fresh fish was so enjoyable. BTW, the bar is a great place to wait for a table...and if possible, sit outside and marvel at the yachts.
