Hot Tin Roof Restaurant

Named for Tennessee Williams’ favorite play, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, our signature restaurant defines the intangible “Key West Cuisine.” To taste it is to know it—and it’s best savored on our verandah overlooking the harbor and the world-famous sunset.

Anchored by ocean views and salt-kissed breezes, our menu blends Cuban and Caribbean influences with fresh local seafood and seasonal produce. From mangos to tomatoes, we layer fruity, chargrilled and oceanic flavors into something truly original.

Guided by our expert chefs, our rooftop bar in Key West embraces the spirit of “anything goes,” keeping only what honors the ingredients. The result is as simple and striking as Key West itself.

Hot Tin Roof Lounge

The Hot Tin Roof Lounge, tucked within our main restaurant, features an innovative cocktail menu steeped in Tennessee Williams and local lore. You’ll want to try our signature Hot Tin Tini—vodka-infused with fresh pineapple—or a proper Hemingway Daiquiri featuring the finest local rum.
Enjoy chef-designed small plates before dinner, or stay in the lounge for the full dining experience. With panoramic harbor views just one tier above the energy of Sunset Pier, we offer the best of both worlds.

Executive Chef Scott Maurer

Our Executive Chef, Scott Maurer, is forever balancing the creativity and possibility of Key West cuisine. Since 1993, he has devoted himself to resort dining, working in top destinations to give his guests iconic, unforgettable experiences. His life’s work is to represent unique places on unique plates and menus.

Experience also builds wisdom and restraint, and Chef Maurer’s dishes are as much about what’s present as what’s not. Every ingredient is added with intention, which is why you remember it. There’s travel in each bite and elements that are distinctly Key West. Like a sunset that’s fleeting but dramatic, a meal by Chef Maurer will linger in your memory.
