Seaside Cafe at the Mansion

I came here for the lobster pizza, and it did not disappoint! We tried that one and another pizza, I forget the name, but it is pictured below. Both are easily in the top three best pizzas I’ve ever had in my life. The view was also great, right on the water. Service was good too.

Wow!!! This was a great find. It was our first trip the Key West and were fortunate to find the Seaside Cafe. We enjoyed a cocktail by the water to start. They claim their margaritas are the best so I tried one. It wasn't as sweet as most margaritas I've had. It was good, but I wouldn't call it the best - perhaps that's just my personal preference. The conch fritters were great but the entrees were the show stopper. My wife had their signature lobster bianca pizza. I tried it and didn't care for it (I don't really like cheese), but my wife loved it! She would definitely order it again. I had the honey-butter lobster biscuits with the hot honey and jalapenos. I'd make a return trip to have them again. It's a creative combination that just works. Great food in a great setting.

Atmosphere is awesome, right next to the most southern point of the USA. Plenty of options for sun and shady. Conch fritters were very delicious and crunchy, I've never had snails before and they were good. The lobster pizza was also good but I warn, you must like both pizza and lobster. It does have that fishy taste to it. So that was my only slight complaint.

Showed up early at 6pm and easily got a spot right by the water! We thought this might be a tourist spot more about the location than the food, but the coconut shrimp and corn pizza were stellar! We also had great, attentive service. An amazing spot. Also the restrooms were down a fun narrow alley, if you come from the back of the house.

Where do I begin?

The food is incredible, the drinks amazing, and the staff is both efficient and friendly. The kind owner, after dinner, offered our group of 5 a tour of the historic mansion-turned-B&B attached to the cafe and a history lesson. Gorgeous property! Lots of American presidential history in this place. Would recommend a stop for anyone in Key West!
