    Really good specialty cocktails. The conch fritters were incredible. It was busy, and the service suffered a bit, but understandable. Real good for being an on- property hotel restaurant.

    Our meals were the best we had in all of Key West. Service was slow and our server was magnificent but highly overwhelmed with the number of tables she had in addition to the bar service.

    They delivered our salad to another table and didn’t notice until 20 min later. Free salad for the other table but no compensation for us…

    Dorada was a wonderful experience. We had a lovely table overlooking the beach and the beautiful shrimp boats I the distance.I had the Ahi tuna which was perfect. My husband had the catch of the day which was grouper and it too was delicious. We started off the meal with the conch and crab. That was fabulous and served with plantain chips. And to end the night as well as our vacation in the Keys we had the key lime pie, a must. Vanessa and Kessani were fantastic servers, friendly and professional. We would definitely venture back here for another meal and I highly recommend Dorada’s.
