Small, modern bistro in a new location on Eaton Street

The Flaming Buoy Filet Co. is a welcome addition to the Key West restaurant landscape.

The ambiance is of a modern bistro – a sort of laid back, minimalist decor – while the food attempts to be a bit more inventive and daring, with dishes like Lobster Mac & Cheese (a specialty), tropical curry, and a fresh catch in banana sauce.

Recent mention in the New York Times has kept the place busy.

Indoor and outdoor dining is available.

Location: 424 Eaton Street

Hours: Open every day, 6:00pm – 9:30pm
