The Florida Keys Steak and Lobster House: Secure Your Table for Elevated Island Dining

When the vibrant Middle Keys dining scene leaves you overwhelmed, trust the locals: The Florida Keys Steak and Lobster House is the unequivocal “must-visit.” The moment you enter, you are instantly engulfed by the rich, unmistakable aroma of premium wet-aged beef and fresh seafood. This is where impeccable service meets unexpected culinary abundance, all overseen by the phenomenal work of owner Maria Arvelo Ely.

The atmosphere is one of vibrant celebration and true elegance. The incredible dining room features fresh décor, high dark wood ceilings, and a stunning huge bubbling water wall right in the middle of the space. Every detail—from the excellent classic cocktails (like the Moscow Mule and Old Fashioned) to the attentive service (thank you, Stephanie)—speaks of sophistication. This spot is clearly a local institution, having recently won awards for Best Place to Take a Date, Best Fine Dining, and Best Bloody Mary.

The flavors are extraordinary. Start your journey with the Frito Misto appetizer, a delight of lightly battered calamari and shrimp with chipotle mayo that is Absolutely DELICIOUS! For main courses, you’ll find extensive options, including sushi, steaks, and chops. The Baked Stuffed Shrimp (jumbo shrimp stuffed with lump crabmeat) and the Shrimp Scampi (with the “perfect wine to butter ratio”) were absolute perfection in preparation, presentation, and taste.

The Florida Keys Steak and Lobster House offers experiences that few other restaurants dare to attempt. On your next visit, you must not miss the Stone Grilled Dining option, where your meal is presented raw on a heated stone for you to cook at your table—”The Hottest Concept in Healthy Dining.” They serve only the finest beef, hand-selected and wet-aged for 21 days.

The ultimate FOMO moment comes with dessert, where you can split a slice of the Salted Caramel Cheesecake that is on another level of deliciousness. This establishment prides itself on good food and service at a fair price, ensuring every product is of the freshest and best quality.

This restaurant’s high local demand, combined with excellent Early Bird Specials and daily Happy Hour, means that tables are quickly consumed. MAKE RESERVATIONS to guarantee your table for this truly special occasion spot, which is conveniently located with plenty of parking.
