Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

Key West seafood restaurant in the heart of old town on Petronia. The menu is kept small so that everything is nice and fresh for you. Yellowtail snapper, fish of the day, Key West pink shrimp, and seafood medley highlight the menu.
Deviled Eggs topped with Scallops, Shrimp Mango Toast and Crispy Pork Belly Croustinis tantalize the pallet. Beef stroganoff made with certified black angus beef is a favorite.

Relaxing, unpretentious, and romantic.
Seating is very limited.
24 Hour Cancellation window.
For the consideration of our guests, we do not accept parties over the size of six (6).
We offer a 6 pm and an 8 pm seating.
BEER AND WINE AVAILABLE.
No Children's menu available.

The food was beautifully plated and it was good. We had the lobster rolls that were very good and the beef stroganoff that was good. The wines by the glass were limited. The best of all was the lavender cheesecake. It was delicious! With all of the other reviews, we were anticipating more. Not completely disappointed, just not wowed.
Red Shoe Island BistroResponded 7 days ago
My apologies for not "wowing you", Mary. I'm a bit disappointed that you liked the food, yet you gave us a 3-star rating. Anyway, I wish you Happy Holidays and have a wonderful day! Cheers to 2025!
