"Martin's, on the Atlantic side of Duval Street, is a great dining experience. From Tapas to a full menu you can't go wrong at lunch or dinner. The chef brings a German flair to the menu so save room for a unique apple strudel. Service was very attentive. Enjoy!"

"For the past few Sundays, we have had a fantastic brunch at Martin's. Our group sat in the back garden and dined on eggs benedict, crepes, some tapas and mimosas. The WIENERSCHNITZEL Benedict is amazing and will have you coming back for more every Sunday. Other lighter fare is fantastic as well. Favorites include the Tropical Waldorf salad and shrimp/scallop skewers. You can't go wrong with the seafood crepe - simply delicious.
The staff at Martin's is very attentive and gracious. Our server Wayne was awesome. Martin's is a Key West gem!"

"At the last minute we decided to have dinner at Martin's and were happy that we did. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. It was rather cool outside so having the option to eat inside where it was warmer and more comfortable was a plus."

"Though the restaurant emmaculate, the service was wonderful and the ambiance was very nice, the food left a bit to be desired. We ordered from Tapas and dinner menus. We started with the Lobster Bisque and Potato Soup. The Potato Soup was actually quite good. The Lobster Bisque on the other had was atrocious. From the Tapas Menu we had the Grilled Lamb Chops. They were good, not great. For the main course we had the Weiner Schnitzel with Spatzle, the Yellowtail "Florinetine", and the Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo. The Weiner Schnitzel was huge but bland. The Spatzle was room temp, dry and chewy. The Yellowtail was o.k. nothing extraordinary. The Fettuccini was luke warm and the pasta was over-cooked. definitely not worth the money."

"Patronized Martin's on Valentine's Day so had a special dinner menu. Girlfriend had the stone crab claws and the Maine lobster (she loves her protein) and I had the Waldorf salad and filet. Both meals were prepared correctly and tasty. Interior reminded me of a European eatery with small intimate tables lining the walls- close enough to other patrons for interaction, but still not too close that you couldn't hold a private conversation. Upon arrival, it felt as if the wait staff was "encouraging" us to eat outside, but we chose to eat indoors, which was wise as the wind and strong rain came down within 10 minutes of being seated. The waiter was pleasant, but his voice was loud for the ambiance-also was condesending to fellow customer."

"We were not impressed by the food. I had shrimp which were tough and chewy and my friend had rib eye steak which was also chewy and not up to the usual steak standard we have come to expect in USA. Unlike other reviews we found this dining experience to be very ordinary."
