Pirate's Cove Key West — Restaurant in Key West

i wish i could give this place 0 stars. we got our food before half our table got their drinks, manager was very disrespectful & talking bad about the other half of our party that left because they didnt get drinks or their order takin for over 30min. I personally had to refill our own water pitches for our table. our server told one of our party that “she wants to kill herself”. very inappropriate & uncalled for. food was ok but service & the manager was the worst i have ever seen. i will never eat here again.

update from owners reply*: we were the only table there besides some people at the bar so NOT busy & 7 of us got there 30 minutes before our other 11 & we still did not get our drinks or order taken for over 30min. we were her ONLY table in the restaurant. for our waters she stacked cups on the table, brought a cup of ice & a pitcher of water for us to do it ourselves. we personally heard the owner talking bad about our other group that left. also her saying she still wanted to kill herself was not...

This is a review on the evening menu only and drinks. The strangest part about this place is the fact that the breakfast and lunch menus are extensive while the dinner menu has six items. They also have a full page of appetizers. That’s about it for food choices. This isn’t a gourmet place. The drinks we ordered all lacked the flavor of alcohol. The bartender claimed we’d be rolling out of the restaurant by how many shots she put in our drinks but we felt not even a buzz. I’m thinking they gave us all virgin drinks. Food rundown: Greek salad - good.

Conch fritters - good but the waitress had no clue what they even were so that’s suspicious.

Jalapeño poppers - terrible. It was a raw jalapeño stuffed with cream cheese, battered and fried. The jalapeño was essentially rubber.

Creamy corn nuggets - excellent.

Overall I would not recommend this place for dinner. This place has an amazing view of the marina so I would recommend coming here to have a bottled alcohol beverage and a view but I’d skip the...

So.... . Let's start with there are 4 of us.. Two couples at the bar and he tells us he can't do separate checks, it's not even busy! Whatever, I can get past that. We order drinks and and two appetizers. He gets the order wrong, we had ordered calamari and we got conch fritters instead. He asked if we still wanted the calamari. I told him, yes but I am not paying extra, or paying for the conch fritters I didn't ask for. I then ask for plates and silverware, as there are four of us and two appetizers, and he tells me "it's finger food, you don't need it"....really? He eventually bring two sets of silverware between four of us, but no plates that I had asked for. I was done at that point. Calamari eventually came out, tasteless and all rings. If the bar was full, I could give him a pass, but that wasn't the case. And don't tell me I don't need plates when I...
