Point 5

A key west local recommended this to us and it was perfect. So cozy and a cool vibe… must mention that the bathrooms are decorated beautifully (I know, but it’s true). Craft cocktails were delicious and served by a very friendly bartender Heather. Romantic and moody but light and fun. Loved the touch of the live dj playing records — but is not loud or overpowering. Perfect setting for a conversation.

The upstairs bartender was so incredibly rude that we canceled our orders and went next door to the Argentinian steakhouse, Viva, instead. Along the way, the downstairs bartender tried to fool us into thinking she was the manager, then she admitted that the manager wouldn't be back until Monday (It was a Saturday night). Not only was the staff at Viva more friendly, but the food was out of this world delicious! I would highly recommend Viva Argentinian Steakhouse next door to Nine One Five due to better pricing, professional staff, and much more creative and varied menu selections (better pricing as well). Nine One Five seems to have gone downhill, and to be honest, I don't know that they were ever anything more than an overpriced, flavorless kitchen in the back and an incompetent and rude staff up front.

The server was great, she greeted us well and gave few local recommendations, etc., good restaurant ambiance and environment but food was super underwhelming and we did not have fulfilling experience. The food was tangy, soury, oily and burnt. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Very disappointed.

Great upscale food and drink in Key West. Nice casual house inside and good small patio or deck outside. Casual and not too big. We came here every day on a recent trip to grab a drink and appetizer at the bar. We cannot speak for the whole restaurant experience, but we had superb service from the various bartenders and enjoyed great appetizers and well-prepared drinks. Great selection. It's an old house, so a bit small. My only complaint is that parts of the restaurant have poor A/C. Restrooms were like 100 degrees. Fix that and you've got it all covered. V

Balcony cocktails and exceptional food on Duval. Andy and Agnus are friendly and enthusiastic about there bar and restaurant atop 915. Romantic tables and nooks inside and out, and a great balcony for people watching a light dinners and drinks with friends. The food is gourmet. Thoughtfully designed menu and very consistent— walnut pistachio tacos are a vegan’s dream. And the Burger is so fresh, perfectly lean, and cooked it doesn’t need an oz of sauce on it, though you can add it if you must. I also love the gnocchi—sauce is stellar. Eggplant dish is also great

Great place to listen to music. Paino bar and live band's.

Hubby and I absolutely loved this place. We had the littleneck clams and the lobster ravioli...so delicious! Our hostess/server, Natalie, was awesome. They were also very friendly to our little furbaby.

we arrived first for a party of 6. It is first come first serve here up stairs above 915 restaurant. The first server we had was great and friendy, the second who took over once the rest of our party arrived was not the best. They have a wrap around porch for seating and a small bar inside. we sat outside in a corner and could overlook duval street people. we had a couple fancy cocktails that tasted like key lime pie and I had a twist on the manhattan, pretty much a old fashioned and manhattan mixed, not bad but so so . they had a few others we tried that were very good also. we got small plates to share, like cheese and meat spread, fish tacos, truffle fries, all very good. everyone stuffed their faces. all in all the second server was not the best and kinda short tempered with everyone but the ambiance and the drinks/food were very good. we'd go back.

As always, this hidden gem, delivered. Best way to end an evening. Heather is spectacular. This place oozes sexiness & happiness.

Really good food. A hidden gem. Cool speak easy decorations. But what makes the place special are the extraordinary bartenders. Mixologists that are extremely friendly and professional. This is our locals hangout.

This place is amazing! Not sure why it's not 4-5 stars. The ambiance is awesome, the servers are amazing specifically Jovan. The Whole Yellowtail Snapper is freaking...OMG! Wow!!! Came last night and again tonight. Definitely recommend this place.

I'm claiming Point 5 Lounge as a crucial business along Duval Street. In the midst of bars that tend to blend together along the chaotic crescent, here you'll discover a quaint atmosphere, a gorgeous bar, and a wrap-around-porch perfect for people watching. We came here strictly for after dinner drinks and they certainly delivered on that front. Prices are a tad high for my everyday budget, but c'mon it's vacation! Of course, I stuck with a few IPA's (served in a tall glass), the girlfriend had her usual Whiskey Ginger, and the girlfriend's mom ordered her "custom" Margarita on the rocks. The bartender and (assumed) owner were an absolute delight to chat with. I wish we had the chance to indulge their food menu, but even I had to wave the white flag. Will return next time I'm in the area!

This is truly a hidden gem amid tacky and cheesy Duval Street bistros. It's upstairs and way more fun and relaxed than the restaurant below, kinda a local bar that offers really high end tapas that include hand made pasta and amazing other small plates that are varied and delicious. There are eight tables on the balcony looking down on Duval Street, you feel like you are in New Orleans, only the food was way better! My wife swears the Key Lime Martini was like eating a slice of key lime pie, only better.

Stopped in for apps and cocktails around 8:30 pm. The bar area had patrons, as we scanned for a table the bartender quickly greeted us and told us there were porch tables available to feel free to sit anywhere we pleased & handed us menus. We sat at a table directly in the front, adjacent to the bar. We sat for 20 mins, watched a server pass us by six times, look at us and say nothing. There were only 4 occupied tables. We left, no service at all, no acknowledgment by wait staff therefore no need to stay. 1 star for ambience and the friendly bartender.

Food was good. But they allow smoking on the balcony table. It was hard to enjoy the food while breathing in all the smoke of the table next to us. It was like eating ashes. When I asked the server if smoking is slower, they shrugged and said "yeah". Hard pass.

I had a great experience here. Nine One Five didn't have a table available for an hour, although some were empty, so we happily ate upstairs here at Point 5 Lounge. They use the same kitchen and have mostly the same menu. A friend had recommended the pork tacos, and they did not disappoint. My mojito was also excellent. My husband had the gnocchi and loved it. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony with the breeze blowing through the palm trees. It was nice and cool up there. When we mentioned to the waitress that we had to run to catch the sunset, she brought us our bill right away. I look forward to returning.

So friendly, charming, quaint and comfortable. They always make my Margarita exactly as I ask. I have a strict instruction because of allergies, so I really appreciate that they indulge my specific requests.

Great place to eat Devils (you need to be here) and after some lamb lollipops as you watch all of God's children walk down Duval street. The staff is very attentive and hustles to take care of you. If your in the area climb the one flight of stairs and enjoy your evening. Cheers

Small place. Good tapas. Good drinks and service. Great location to people watch if u sit on balcony.

We love this place. Every trip to Key West we eat here 2 or 3 times. My husband loves their beef ribs. I like the small plates. We order a few items and can share. The drink menu is great. It a great spot for people watching. We're never disappointed and the staff are great.

This was our view. The view was way better than the service. Food and drinks just okay

Excellent service, a cozy bar atmosphere and delicious food makes Point 5 a perfect Saturday night in Key West. Andrew and Heather made it a 5 star experience from start to finish.

This place is fantastic. Food is amazing. The bar tenders and engaging and make you feel at home. Must stop and have at least a cocktail and one of the great apps on the menu. We went twice we loved it so much.

I do love the location on the top floor of the restaurant. It is cozy and beautifully appointed. The service was great. My gripes are about the food. The items we ordered were just not very good and crazily overpriced for what you get. Go for a drink but avoid the food.

Stopped here on our walk over to Better than Sex for a quick drink before our late night dessert. The place was packed and we only had a drink but it took a long time to be served. Only after asking if we could order at the bar with a 20 minute delay did we get our beverages. After we were done it took just as long to find someone to pay the bill. Not sure what the food is like but the drinks are decent.

Chef loves sour taste. Artisan cheese's honey tastes funky. Shrimp is cooked to well done and pasta is too little for a entree, about the same to an appetizer. Mongolian rib's sauce is terrible and ruins both rib and vege. Waiter went to bar, got a drink for himself, and talk to other guests. We have to ask another waiter to bring the check over. After we paid he came back and asked us whether we want dessert. Gratitude is automatically included at 20%. Oh man this place is terrible.

We arrived and tried getting a table at 915. After waiting for more than 20 minutes we decided to check the upstairs (point one five) and found a table. The food was subpar. They brought us the wrong ravioli and to top it off it was cold. The "truffle" fries had absolutely no sign of truffle. We also had the Tuna fettuccini but they had no tuna so we had shrimp which again was lacking flavor. The best part was the cold glasses of water and the fish tacos....save you're money and time and go elsewhere

Please know that this is a review of Point5. Seems that another reviewer here wrote about 915. Completely different menus. I have to give Agnes, (our bartender and server), a big shout out for her attentive, friendly service. Sometimes we get the feeling that a server has a little script that is endlessly repeated, but not Agnes! Just a very good, authentic people person. Food- full 5 stars. I don't eat animal products, so it is difficult to find much of a choice on most menus. Now I don't need too much choice here because I will probably order the walnut and pistachio tacos and the black pepper tofu every time!! The menu descriptions understate the massive flavor and delicious textures of these dishes. The presentation was perfect as well. I gave a tiny bite to the carnivores in the group; they swooned. I have to say they loved their choices too. But big THANK YOU to this restaurant for the large number of plant based items. I am taking off one star because they allow smoking! I was shocked to see ashtrays on each table. I'm afraid if we were confronted by a neighboring smoker up there on that small balcony, all the above wonderfulness would have been ruined. Luckily, that didn't happen. And yes, the prices are high but not as bad as a lot of other Key West places.

Phenomenal experience tonight! We arrived amid a crazy downpour, so most of the patio seating was unavailable unless you wanted to be soaked. The bartender was extremely nice and pulled up some dry barstools for us in the corner so we could sit and wait. She catered to us by coming over for our drink orders and delivered 2 rounds of drinks after not forgetting about us when our drinks were low. When 2 seats finally appeared to be opening up inside at the bar, she came over to let us know she was saving them for us. Once seated at the bar, we ordered cheese stuffed dates wrapped in bacon with an AMAZING blue cheese sauce, empanadas, carne asada tacos, and Mongolian ribs. Everything was absolutely amazing. Remember, it is Tapas style, so the portions are smaller. We also ordered the creme brulee key lime pie and mixed berry bread pudding. Wow, just wow. Everything was exceptional. The vibe was very laid back. cool, and local-esque. Highly recommend!

Start with the good. The servers are great and personable. Unfortunately, that's the only good point about this place. The food and the music are just horrible. Such a mistake ro choose this place for dinner.. AVOID!!!

Literally walked in 10 minutes after they opened and the bartender was cleaning up cigarette butts from ashtrays. She asked if we wanted drinks, I replied yes please, and food. She handed us menus, I told my partner "I know what I want". She said " I hope it has cucumber honey because I havent cut anything up yet. We walked out and my partner called her out on being rude Nd she replied " It's not my problem, I dont care if you're mad at me".

Yesterday I did a search for the best burger places in Key West. This place did not show up. But I love the location and the porch atmosphere so I had to give it a try. I I had the blue cheese burger and truffle fries and my goodness both were fantastic. Yesterday I ate across the street at a place that was highly rated for burgers and this location absolutely crushed their burger. The Truffle fries are amazing. Great staff. Great service and great food!

Food was good but service was not. CHECK YOUR BILL. I left a $50 tip on a $250 bill (an acceptable 20%) but when my credit card statement arrived it showed a total of $320 - a $70 tip (28%). I did not authorize this! There were only 4 people so they can't use the excuse that it was a large party. They see tourists and rip them off.

The food here was amazing! It was so good we came for dinner one night and then we had lunch here the next day. As so many others have said the portions are on the smaller size, and it is one of the pricier place in Key West. But it's only a few dollars more than most places but it is so worth ...

Review of tonight's dinner. Cute place but it ended there. It took over 15 min to get a glass of lemonade and my glass of water stayed empty as our server walked passed our table over and over again for another 15 min. She finally came to take our order. But when the food came out my wife's point 5 burger was raw in the middle. We asked the table busser to have our server come back which took 30 min. I will not recommend this place and will inform the bed and breakfast where we are staying not to recommend them in the future.

Excellent customer service. Attention to every detail. Balcony over Duval made people watching nonstop.

Andrew great bartender and wait staff also great. Has the grouper tacos and added sea salt and truffle fries....outstanding !!!!!!!fish fresh and fries perfect balance of truffle and sea salt

Fun atmosphere on the top balcony overlooking Duval St! Great spot for an after dinner dessert. Key lime bar was super tasty and service fun and friendly.

Great food and service. We had the pork tacos and the pistachio walnut tacos. They were excellent. They have tables on a porch overlooking the street. Interesting place to watch all of the people.

Place was cute, great location. Not many options though. The menu was very small and did not contain many popular foods. However, the food was good. Although, the pasta portions were wayy too smalll!!! The pasta dish was served in a soup sized bowl. My mom and I had pasta and we had to order a burger after to split. Lol

Highlight of my vacation by far. Service and food were knockout. Best drinks on the island and will definitely go back..

This place was recommended by 2 tourist guide books and was said to be in $$ price range. It was actually in $$$ price range but considering super small portion sizes and that you will order more to feel less hungry it will come to $$$$ range. The portion size is more appropriate for the fancy French place, but you would expect an extraordinary gastronomic experience from the French place, which compensates for the amount of food they give you. Well since this place is not French you should expect to overpay for "nothing special". Point 5 lounge was called before "nine one five", and when it was called so the place was $$$ and 4 star rated on yelp. Maybe with change of the name the owners, staff and quality also have changed. I just wonder how point 5 lounge got recommendations from the guidebooks?! Maybe "nine one five" place use to be good - I've never been there. But the books mentioned the new "point 5 lounge" name! To be more detailed - our disappointment started at the entrance. We had a bulky stroller for my infant son, which would barely fit through the narrow side door (the only way to get inside if you take stroller/ wheelchair ramp). Entire time when I and my husband were struggling to put the stroller with our baby inside a staff member was looking at us. My husband asked for his help, but he was hesitant and eventually I was the one who helped my husband put the stroller in. Then he said: "I saw that you will be able to make it through yourself". At this point we should have left. But no, we decided to stay - it was late, quite hot outside and we were too tired to look for another place, especially having a baby with us. We ordered chicken liver pate as an appetizer, wild mushroom risotto and seafood paella. I have to be fair and say that pate tasted good and we thought it was not a bad decision to stay here. But then we were surprised by the size of the main course portions. We got probably one serving spoon of risotto for $26! It tasted well if I am not wrong, because we got barely enough to feel the taste. Paella was also less and taste was so-so. The only thing we got plenty at point 5 lounge was bread. So if you want to stuff yourself with bread for $90 for 2 (without drinks) this "lounge" is your place!

Unpretentious, delicious and friendly. Key West could use a few more spots like this. Stumbled onto this place and still thrilled since last night.

Love the new menu. We had the Wild Salmon Carpaccio, Scallops, and squash ravioli. All were off the charts delicious! Always loved drinking martinis or wine there and food was good but now they upped the food to fantastic and drinks are as always fantastic.

The food and atmosphere at this place is amazing. Best beef carpaccio I think I've ever had, awesome service and a great drink selection. I highly recommend this place :)
