Not only great food (translate: you will dream about it), great views, good service and reasonable prices, but the passion and creativity of chef/owner Scott comes through in every bite. Who knew you could infuse Keys Island food with Hawaii! Gotta have the tuna poke. Only restaurant I've been to where you can tailor most of their fish entrées with... More

This place is exceptional! We had the tuna carppacio, conch ceviche, Korean beef tacos and jerk wings. Everything was delicious. It was an explosion of flavor in every bite! We have eaten here three times this week and look forward to coming back next year! From the decor to the staff... This place is definetely worth a try if you... More

We came along Kaya Island Eats while driving into Key West and decided to stop because the restaurant seemed crowded and had plentiful parking (a rarity in the area). The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor and you get great views of the water. The menu has good variety including vegetarian and healthy options. The Jerk Portobellos and all... More

Great food, great service, great views- what more can you ask for. Several creative vegetarian entries. Tried jerk portobello mushrooms- delicious. Cuban pork very tasty. Grilled tuna also excellent. The chocolate cake is to die for. Key lime also very good made with merange topping. Plenty of parking. More than worth the drive up from Key West.

After hearing high recommendations, we made the short drive from our Hotel and we were not disappointed. We found the menu to be reasonably priced compared to most of the restaurants on Duval Street. The drinks and appetizers were incredible especially the Coconut Mojito and the Pacific Rim Poke appetizer, but the highlight was the main course and the chef... More

We used tripadvisor to help with our dining choices . Every place was good until we got here . The staff is very nice. The food had no flair. Nothing was exceptional . Why is this place ranked higher than Grunt's?

This little restaurant has seen a couple owners and been closed for quite a while. Scott, the new owner based his restaurant from his previous home-Hawaii. Food is great with attention to taste and presentation. Service is very attentive. You will usually find Scott there making sure everyone is happy. Great stop just before Key West.

My wife brought here for my Birthday and I must say this restaurant is, if not the best restaurant in the Keys its definitely in the Top 3. For a salad I ordered Scott's Tomato Salad and it was awesome. My wife had the Skirt Steak and I had the Cuban Style Roast Pork. Both were out of this world.... More

Scott's new menu is devine...new fish dishes along with noodle and rice bowls. Staff is extremely friendly and efficient. It is a "not to miss" restaurant.
