Seaside Cafe at the Mansion in Key West - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food is not up to par with the service and ambiance. But it's worth the visit.

The best mojitos and lobster pizza in town. My husband and I went multiple times while we were on vacation and it was excellent each time. 100/10

Do not leave Key West without eating the lobster pizza here. Definitely the absolute best in the keys. Lobstah scampi pizza.... Whaaat?! Lay down and enjoy the beach at the southernmost point, order a pizza from the mansion, go back in 15 minutes and get a slice of heaven. Pro tip: grab PLENTY of napkins and some plasticware. This pizza is loaded with butter and you're going to need it. You can thank me later. Enjoy!

Duffy is the best bartender! He creates the best cocktails on the island! Also amazing with food recommendations!

the fun guy truffle pizza was to die for! also tried this locally brewed beer that was very good. my boyfriend and i shared a pizza for lunch and we were both full after. i would maybe order something more if you’re going out to eat dinner. it was incredibly hot the day we went but the parasols were up and there was a cool breeze coming from the ocean which was perfect. my only complaint is that we felt a little rushed to leave, we were still eating and we hadn’t been sitting there for long and they came and asked if we needed a box to-go, but other than that the service was good. and we also had some friends walking around the table which i liked a lot🐓

That lobster pizza is heaven !! It’s an outdoor restaurant but has great views of the water. Lots of chickens/roosters walking around Pretty pricey but hey it’s Key West

Jr didn't expect to eat pizza of this level in Florida but the lobster bianca pizza was delicious. I'm really not a fan of white pizza though.

Loved it! Awesome food, awesome service. Beautiful place to hangout

Most awesome little restaurant and bar! The patrons sit a few meters from the ocean to enjoy their cocktails and delicious menu. The Mojito and Lobster pizza are their flagship drink and entree. Don’t leave Key west without visiting this little gastronomical jewel.

Little corner of paradise just a stone's throw from Southernmost Point, the lobster pizza is to die for, facing the sea. A suspended moment. Impeccable and very friendly service. Excellent memory ☺️

Street corn pizza, a first, but absolute fire. Pour the green salsa verde on it! So good. The coconut shrimp, mid. The sauce with that is good but was better on the pizza. Don’t feed the chickens!

Best pizza I've ever had, beautiful scenery, adorable chickens, everything about this place is great

As they say their lobster pizza is the best ive ever eat.

Enrique, John and Michael could not have been more warm and accommodating even though we arrived at almost closing time. This is in a beautiful oceanfront location that they are building out to be even more amazing soon. The pizza and wine were delicious and probably some of the most reasonable prices on the island. Love this new find and we will always make a point to return. Thanks so much!

Great food and quick service. Beautiful view of the ocean. The pizza with lobster was delicious

Never thought I would love lobster pizza so much. Easily a top 10 dish there and must try!

No coffee but it’s called a café No mezcal but they said they have a full bar I was kinda thrown off by that I don’t really think I’ll go back The staff was nice though?

Wow! Could not ask for a better experience!! We ate here for lunch with our 2 daughters. Beautiful view of the ocean, it’s all covered so it’s not too hot. Coconut Shrimp and pizza were both amazing. Our waiter Jagger was extremely friendly! To top it all off , Michael, gave us a tour of the 1st floor of the mansion. Would 100% recommend this cafe to everyone! Today we are celebrating 19 years of marriage!

Beautiful place by the sea. Affordable prices. Excellent coconut breaded shrimp. As an added bonus, the Key West chickens come to say hello.

Absolutely amazing. Best food and service in Key West.

Lobster stuffed biscuits will change your life.

Pretty solid view from the patio. Definitely worth having some pizza at the southern most point in the US

Delicious lobster pizza as well as peperoni pizza. I had some poke appetizers, Delicious as well. I was not a fan of their mojitos. But the service the views and the ambience was great. There's also chikens and iguanas running around, it's funny. I do have to say, though, their bathrooms were spotless! Even smelled great! That's important.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Seaside Café in Key West with my fiancée and mother, and it was an unforgettable experience. If I could give this place 10 stars, I absolutely would! The margarita was perfectly crafted, a refreshing blend that set the tone for the meal. But the true highlight was their famous lobster pizza, which was nothing short of spectacular. The succulent, tender lobster atop the pizza was cooked to perfection and left us all wanting more. Without a doubt, it's the best pizza I’ve ever had. Someone needs to get Dave Portnoy down to Key West to try this masterpiece! The food was undeniably amazing, but what truly sets Seaside Café apart is the exceptional hospitality. The servers were attentive and friendly, ensuring that every aspect of our meal was enjoyable. The owner, Michael, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and valued. His passion for great food and excellent service is evident in every detail. Seaside Café is a gem in Key West, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the incredible food to the outstanding service, it’s a dining experience that shouldn’t be missed.

Stopped in for an early dinner - great service and food. We had Conch Fritters, the Prosciutto Caprese sandwich, and the Hot Honey pizza. All were really good, including my mojoto...will definitely be back

Do yourself a favor and order the lobster pizza. The best thing we ate on the island!! We ate it so fast I didn’t get a picture. Great beach view and great service. Key lime pie was ok.

The owner came over and spoke with us twice which was a nice personal touch. Our waitress was wonderful - worked so hard in the crazy heat and still took time to talk with us and make recommendations. The lobster pizza is a must! Fantastic! It was so hot that day but sitting under the umbrellas with the breeze off the ocean made it pleasant.

Very delicious and fresh. Great staff. Got to try their lobster pizza. Also amazing views.

Amazing view, great service & really good food. There is better conch fritters in Key West but they were very good & dipping sauce was A+. Prosciutto & arugula pizza was excellent. A lot of birds hanging around hoping to steal a bite of your food but that's just part of the outdoor dining experience.

They have the best French fries ever!!! You must try it.

The lobster pizza was the best pizza I’ve ever had! Pina colada and hurricane were great too. The view right next to the ocean is unbeatable, and the mansion is gorgeous as well. There’s lots of shade and fans to beat the heat! Service was fast and friendly, and my kids loved watching the roosters walk around.

Really cool cafe right near the Southernmost Point of Key West. Great service and the conch fritters are legit.

We wanted to rest a bit here, have a drink and have a small snack. Right by the sea, free water, delicious IPAs, the three of us shared a pizza because we wanted to go out for dinner later anyway, the pizza was tasty, the price was OK for the location. Can be recommended. We would come here again! The service was very accommodating! Thanks.

Really good but a little on the expensive side if your drinking alcohol. Can’t get a better view.

This little place is the perfect relaxed dining experience in Key West. Right on the ocean, the food is simple and great. The drinks are also very good and service is excellent. We came back a second time for the coconut shrimp but all their food was very good.

The food was awesome. We tried classic and fun guy pizza. The fun guy pizza with caramelized onions and mushrooms was really awesome. The atmosphere was great, the service was fun.

While we did love the place and food…Augustina the server was very unapproachable and highly ill-mannered.

There's amazing food all over Key West and this gem rules over them all. Must gets - Lobster pizza of course but the best bite of our entire vacation was the Honey butter lobster biscuit with hot honey and jalapeño. It sparked a debate about what you'd order for your last meal if you were on death row. Which then sparked a debate if the Warden would fly to Key West. The owner Mike stopped by our table, heard it was my birthday and said to Molly "Bring this man a piece of pie." Best key lime pie I've ever had. Thank you Mike for the incredible hospitality! Molly then took us over to retail and helped us find some shirts, told us all about the Mansion and the Cafe. Our favorite restaurant in all of Key West!

This place has a million dollar view for $50. The Lobstah Pizza and Spring mix Salad were excellent. The birds and chickens got a little crazy after the wife broke the rules and started feeding them! Even an Iguana made showing for us!

Pizza, awesome. Drinks, awesome. Key lime pie, awesome.

Amazing food, great place/view, and very polite staff. We loved the lobster pizza and the procciuto ciabatta with truffle fries!!!

Bartender was awesome. He recommended food and drinks to us and made small talk. We are right by the water and it was a perfect meal. The lobster pizza was delicious and filling. The margaritas really were the best I’ve had in Key West

Scrumptious food amazing best Lobster pizza we ever had, excellent service and great atmosphere.

Came here with my daughter and girlfriend. Great atmosphere, right in the water! Friendly service and excellent pizza!

Definitely worth the stop in!! Lobster pizza was unbelievable!! Sooo good! I had the marinated tuna and Mando salad and it was extremely good. I even liked the side of seaweed!! Highly recomnend for a beautiful Oceanview lunch!!

The host, Cody and the entire team were so welcoming! They recommended the lobster pizza which was potentially one of the best pizzas I had in my life. Service was perfect! Thank you so much for such a lovely snack!

This place was more our vibe! The owner walked around, greeted us, and chatted with us for a few. The lobster pizza was so good!!!

Great location. Lobster pizza was very greasy, lobster was rubbery and it cost $32 for medium pizza. Food came out fast but waitress had a bit of attitude because we did not order fast enough.

Great view, average food, and one of the waiter is trying to push you to order more with disappointing attitude.

Short wait on a Sunday midday. Food and service were amazing! Aubrey and Michael made it a special experience! Group of 6 and some of the best service we had in KW.

Amazing customer service and the view is amazing

This is a fabulous lobster pizza, and spectacular tuna salad! Awesome service!!

Service was outstanding. All staff was friendly and made sure we were helped in a timely manner. Had tuna appetizer and lobster pizza. Excellent! Must visit for anyone in Key west!

The Police had to drag me out of here!!! It was such an experience that I did not want to leave!!! The food, service and experience was incredible and will definitely RETURN!!!!

Don’t miss this hidden gem in Key West! A paradise.

We ordered take out for a large group and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was AMAZING, especially the Ahi Tuna Salad. I'm still thinking about it. Their key lime pie was also our favorite of all the ones we tried during our time in Key West. I highly recommend this restaurant and I will visit them again next time I'm in the area. Thank you!

Got the street corn pizza - absolutely amazing. Wasn’t all that hungry when we arrived but it was so good I devoured the whole thing. A bit on the pricey side, and the Lobster rolls aren’t exactly worth the price, but the rest of it was pretty great.

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.

Incredible service, place, and staff. Can’t wait to be back!

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.

The food always delicious, the staff is always kind. Whenever someone visits down here, we always take them here for pizza.

Food is not worth the money. Drinks also typically watered down for the tourists. Typical tourist rip off. 2 people >70$

strong drinks. amazing pizza. ocean mist. love, love, love

This is a casual gem. The food we had was amazing, and we ate at a couple of highly rated spots, so good.

pizza average, caprese sandwich excellent and good service and fantastic views.

Absolutely incredible!!! I am severely celiac and the waiter was so accommodating and knowledgeable! They let me know ahead of time that there is a chance for cross contamination but they take precautions. I have ate the lobster pizza twice since being in the keys!! Never had a reaction, the best pizza ever!!!!

So you have to park in a nearby car park to be able to enjoy this great little corner. The welcome is top notch, pleasant, smiling and frankly nothing to say from start to finish. Chickens, roosters, pigeons, seagulls, in short, nature, the sea and the food!! Special mention for the strawberry lemongrass mojitos! Best Mojito ever!!! We preferred the conch fritter and the capresse sandwich; the lobster pizza is good although a little greasy.

The salad with tuna was so tasted and food in general. The service was very helpful.

This place is fantastic, the Lobster Pizza was very good and the cocktails were great too,so glad we had the chance to dine there.

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.

Great little local spot. It’s a full service restaurant so you have to wait to be seated. No wait at all though and the from the time I ordered til I got my food was about 8-10 min and it was amazing! The coconut shrimp with the pina colada dip was the best on the island that I have had.

Great island vibe. Beautiful photo ops everywhere. Influencers must go! Great greasy spoon breakfast and the best orange juice on the island!

I can't wait to return to Key West just to eat here. I'm missing the crab cakes with truffle fries and the lobster pizza!

I went twice just for the margaritas!

Perfect spot for a casual lunch. You absolutely cannot beat the view. Highly recommend the lobster Bianca pizza.

Rude waitress. They are complaining about 20$ tips while I have to drink out of a cheap plastic cup.

Pizza was just ok. Service was impressive! Hostess seated us and welcomed us to Key West. Asked us how our day was going and wanted to make sure we were happy here. We got our pizzas. A bit over priced for sure, but hey, can't beat the scenery!! Our waitress came over with 2 free margaritas!! What!? Who does that!?!? Thank you!!! Now that made the meal worth it.

Do not leave Key West without visiting! We were seated as close as you can get to the water. Such a beautiful place! The famous mojitos are amazing and I typically don’t like the drink. The conch fritters and ahi tuna bites are a must! The owner Mike came to our table to check on us. What a genuine, sweet soul! Only have a few days left here and will be back!

You can sit by the beach while you eat your meal. It’s a must to try their lobster pizza! It was delicious. Service and atmosphere 10/10.

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!

The food was the best I’ve had on my entire trip. We had the pizza, honey butter lobster biscuits, and apps and it was amazing. The property is phenomenal and the owner is a GEM. You MUST come here on your next key west visit.

This place offers great food and drinks with an amazing view. Highly recommend it.

We stayed at the Mansion on the Sea next to the Seaside cafe so we enjoyed grabbing drinks from there and bringing them to the pool next door. The strawberry lemongrass mojito was the highlight! We had dinner there as well, the ahi tuna cups were unique and tasty.

Delicious lobster pizza! Great location, service, and vibe in a beautiful, historic, setting.

Stopped in here as the location is ideal, right in front of the sea, lovely views. The staff are very friendly, polite and attentive. Unfortunately the place was let down by the food. We order the lobster pizza at $32 for a small size good enough for two people. That was the worst pizza we ever had on our lives, soggy, only things you could taste was salt, garlic and oil. We couldn't eat it. Rest of food wasn't as bad but still super salty, not sure what the chef was thinking, had a bad day or was revenge against the restaurant owner, to make owner loose customers. If you're just looking for a place to sit down, relax and have a couple of drinks, this place is perfect but please don't be tempted the food.

It was nice to be right on the water. I also appreciated that they had gluten free pizza and sandwiches.

Craziest Poke Cup EVER! Served in a warm plantain cup that melts in your mouth. Gorgeous ocean view but the smell of bleach is strong.

LOBSTER PIZZA. COCONUT SHRIMP. MOJITOS. BEAUTIFUL VIEW. GOOD SERVICE. They did not miss. 💯

After our long drive to Key West, we wanted something delicious to eat. We had the truffle pizza, cheese pizza, and conch fritters. All were perfectly cooked and delicious! I love the ocean view and the staff were so caring. Perfect lunch spot and it's near the southern most point in the US!

My husband and I had the World Famous Lobster Pizza here last night which was very good. Sat at a table right by the water which was nice. The bad part was that we got a terrible waiter named Octavio S. I actually had to get up from the table and go find him to get another glass of wine. He never once came back and asked how our meal was or anything. The next time I saw him was when he stood there waiting for me to complete the "tipping" process....I didn't want to leave him a dime but my husband insisted on the minimum... :(

GF Lobster pizza was phenomenal! 10/10!!!

We ordered for pick up but had a drink whole we waited. Overall, a really nice vibe and the bartenders were fantastic. The pizza was ordered (salami and hot honey) was amazing. The cook on the pizza and the taste was perfect. Equally good was their strawberry salad. The biscuit served on the side was very unique. It almost tasted like a funnel cake. The key lime pie was better then those shops that advertise key lime on a stick but also not anything special. However, the mains and the atmosphere is worth coming back to!

It was very windy on that evening so we were busy to hold our PLASTIC dinnerware. The tuna meal, chips and lemon pie were delicious!

Beautiful cafe right on the beach. The atmosphere was relaxed and beautiful. The pizza was incredible!

Good food and service. Price quality OK. Yadra was very kind in assisting us.

Never got to taste the food as we got seated and sat 20 minutes while waitresses helped others seated after us. It was not busy. Walked out without any acknowledgment. Cranky older gentleman sat us with an attitude. Will never go back. Worst service in key west.

The location is great however the cost of the food vs. the quality felt a bit unbalanced. Lunch here will run you about $25 a person. Not a bad spot by any means, there just may be better options for the price point.

Just had the best "b l o w j o b s" I've ever had in this lifetime from the owner Michael!! Will be back, treated our Bridal party of 13 like queens - thank you!!!

Best gluten free paninis ever. Wife liked this so much came here twice. Pizza is great. Staff is friendly and attentive. Definitely a must stop in Key West.
