Diners can watch the sun set over the harbor at this local fixture for surf 'n' turf.
"So many of the nicer sit-down dinner spots in Key West have menus that feel just a tad outdated, with resort food we don’t necessarily find exciting. But at A&B Lobster House, the history is kind of the point. This waterfront spot has been around for over 70 years, and is still one of the best upscale dinner options, with one caveat: You’ve got to sit outside. The waterfront view from the patio seating really makes the experience of sipping $17 martinis and cracking $50-plus lobster worth it. So make a reservation, and make it early. You might have a tough time getting a table during busy season, although their bar is walk-in friendly and has a lounge area with a nice waterfront view." - ryan pfeffer

"Key West certainly isn’t lacking in seafood restaurants, but the A&B Lobster House is much more than that—it’s a fine dining institution that’s been serving up some of the area’s most decadent dishes since 1947. While the dining room is charming and has an upscale steakhouse feel, the wraparound balcony with perfect marina views is where you want to be. Watch the sun set and embrace the slower-paced life as you dine on customer favorites like Caribbean lobster thermidor with cremini mushrooms, grouper Oscar with crabmeat and leek mashed potatoes, or the strip steak au poivre with a gorgonzola potato gratin. In addition to an impressive wine menu, the restaurant—keeping with its timeless style—offers a full menu of classic cocktails like the Hemingway daiquiri (which seems appropriate, given where you are)." - Jennifer M.
