    If you are in a hurry, this place is not for you. The service was the worst that we experienced in the whole week spent in Key West. They were slow to greet, take order, bring food, check and didn’t apologize for any of it! Don’t plan on a view after 10:00 am as a cruise ship pulls up and blocks the water view! The food was OK! I would not recommend Bistro 245!

    Stephanie, I do apologize you did not have a good experience with us at Bistro 245. We do strive to give great food and service and I am sorry we missed the mark with your visit. I am sorry for the cruise ship, that is something out of our control. They do always leave before sunset so you can view our beautiful Key West sunset every night. Thank you, Katie Boyer Restaurant Manager Bistro 245

    One of our favorite places to dine in Key West. The yellow tail snapper is delicious!! We tend to dine early so ambience is quiet. Service is great also.

    We had to ask for straws. They were given to us without wrappers on and by hand. The shrimp was very overcooked and had to ask for new. We were surprised it was even brought to table by server. We had to ask for rolls which should have been done wout requesting. The food is overpriced. We were really looking forward to eating here with reading the reviews but our experience was terrible and will not be returning.

    We had an early 5 pm meal because we wanted to eat before our 6:30 excursion. The food was fresh and fantastic! We shared the shrimp flatbread appetizer. Our meals were the yellow tail snapper and lemon garlic mahi. Both meals were tasty and delicious! We enjoyed it all!
