"Baeautiful Florida Keys is a place we often visit and enjoy. However, our recent experience left much to be desired at the First Flight restaurant. Despite it being a quiet evening off season, the bartenders seemed more interested in a tennis game on the TV than attending to customers. After waiting patiently for 20 minutes, we were finally able to place our order.Opting for the $30+ roast pork with MOJO, a dish I frequently indulge in as a proud Floridian, I had high expectations. Unfortunately, what arrived at our table could hardly be considered roast pork. Instead, it appeared to be chunks of a pork chop haphazardly sliced and placed on a bed of yellow rice. The meat was dry and tasted reminiscent of freezer burn, far from the succulent and flavorful roast pork I had anticipated.To make matters worse, the black beans served alongside the disappointing pork were nothing more than canned black beans, complete with the unappetizing can juice. The milky substance surrounding the beans was truly off-putting and diminished the overall quality of the dish. (Please refer to the attached photo reference.)In the end, it was a shame that our experience at First Flight fell so short of our expectations. With subpar food and distracted service, we found ourselves yearning for better dining options. Thus, we sadly conclude that it is best to move on and explore other establishments in the area."

Our server was great but all of our dinners came out cold. The appetizers and cocktails were great, and our server made it right by buying a round of drinks for the cold entrees. Cool place to check out for the ambience but disappointing for the food. View menu

As members of the aviation community we always seek out opportunities to experience history and this location does not disappoint! Neat shop with Panam memorabilia and a killer menu to dine on. Reserve a patio table for a lovely dinner and experience fresh local fish cooked to perfection!

Delicious food, great ambience. Server was respectful, yet needed a little skip in her step to be able to have delivered a much better score on this review. The tab was split and even though, I know I put the correct payment methods for each ticket, she was able to not process the payments correctly.

We loved the restaurant and the ambiance inside. The Tuna Poke was really good with the wontons, the sweet chili wings were excellent. We also go the fish tacos they were good. Best part of the meal was the drinks, they were excellent and affordable. The spicy sunset margarita was amazing, there can be a bit of spice from the jalapeños, but they're fresh so is a really good balance and taste. View menu

Fun atmosphere in the historic Pan Am Airways building where Kelly's was for many years. I personally like the beers better at Waterfront Brewery, but they have a solid selection of brews. Great Happy Hour deals, including a few appetizers (love the Old Bay and butter wings) and $4 pints. Definitely worth a stop, especially if you are on Duval (First Flight is just a block W of Duval on Caroline St).

We always make a point of eating here when we visit KW. My grouper was amazing and the flatbread app was delicious as well. Unfortunately the 2 men in our party ordered the seared tuna and it came out almost cooked all the way through which is not how seared tuna should be. They were very disappointed but did not send it back as it was edible just disappointing. Otherwise we live sitting out back and service is always great too.
