Customer Perception
Customers consistently praise Latitudes for its beautiful location, excellent service, and enjoyable dining experience. Many highlight the complimentary ferry ride and the romantic ambiance, especially during sunset.

Additional Details
The restaurant is part of Sunset Key Cottages, an Opal Collection property. The ferry ride to the island is complimentary for guests and those with reservations.
The restaurant is located on Sunset Key, a small island just a 10-minute complimentary ferry ride from the Key West cruise pier. The boat ride itself is a nice touch and makes the experience feel even more special.
The setting is beautiful, with stunning waterfront views and a romantic, exclusive atmosphere. The service was good, but I found the lunch menu to be quite limited, and the food didn’t quite match the upscale feel of the restaurant. The burger was decent but tasted like something you could find almost anywhere. The lobster bisque had good flavor, although it had separated a bit. The desserts were enjoyable.
That said, the location is what truly makes this place special. Next time, I’d make a reservation around sunset. I’m sure the dinner menu offers more variety, and the sunset views and evening lights would make for an even more memorable experience.
Still in awe. We had reservations for our 20th wedding anniversary. 915pm was much later then we a wanted but I procrastinated and didn't make reservations early enough. However, even at 915p it was the most perfect dinner we've ever had. The service was so good, the atmosphere was gorgeous and the food was absolutely amazing. Mouth watering Surf n turf and the Pan roasted Bell & Evans Chicken were both superb. Taking the ferry to the private island of Sunset Key was awesome as well. 10/10

Getting to Latitudes is already part of the experience. The short ferry ride to Sunset Key immediately sets the tone and makes lunch feel like a special occasion rather than just another restaurant visit.
The setting is absolutely beautiful. We were seated outside with stunning views over the water and the surrounding Keys, making it one of the most picturesque lunch spots of our trip. The relaxed island atmosphere and attentive service only add to the experience.
The food was certainly good and well prepared, although I have to admit I expected a little more given the restaurant's reputation and unique location. The overall experience is definitely worth it, but for us the setting and journey to get there were the true highlights.
A memorable lunch destination with spectacular views and a unique location that every Key West visitor should experience at least once.

View of sunset is incredible. Dinner and a sunset. Wow! Not sure what the bad reviews are about, but the food was really good. New York strip and Grouper platter. The yucca fries were excellent. Key lime pie also worth eating. Manager came by to check on us. Very kind staff and servers. Take lots of pictures… especially of the sunset…. We did it all throughout dinner. Amazing photos! Pricey but worth it for a special occasion. The boat bridge to dinner was also very fun. Highly recommend.

This was spectacular! Reservations well in advance are a must!!! This is an experience - a boat taxi ride from Key West takes you to Sunset Key which takes about 10 minutes. Then a short walk from the dock and you are at the restaurant. Our outside reservations were timed perfectly to enjoy our cocktails, apps, dinner & dessert while watching the sun slowly set. We were with a party of 8 and I sampled all the food. Not a bad thing to be had so try it all! Pro tip: don’t forget your sunglasses and a fan
I honestly can’t wait to go back☀️
