A visit to our house is a unique way to relax and enjoy life's simple pleasures as well as our treasures from the sea. The word Bagatelle comes from the French and means "a trifle or a little nothing", often referring to a light, fun, yet not too serious spring time romance. The French brought their history of fine cuisine and their love of wine to the Caribbean Islands. It is in this tradition that we have combined our French heritage, southern hospitality and the indigenous tastes of the Florida Keys into the meals we prepare today. Our chefs blend the best of our locally caught fresh seafood, fresh produce and delicious tropical fruits for our tropical seafood dishes.

    Five starts for this outstanding dining experience from start to finish! The building is charming and full of Southern character, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was attentive, and the food was truly a culinary delight. Every dish was beautifully prepared, however the swordfish was exceptional and an absolute must-try! Highly recommend Bagatelle for a memorable dining experience. Outstanding experience overall !!

    We had a great evening at FL Lobster & Steak House. Our reservation requested a table we enjoy and a waiter, Billy we always ask for, both requests were the start of a great dinner. There were 5 of us, and we all enjoyed meals our different meals of shrimp fra diablo, grilled shrimp, steak & potatoes, sushi rolls and a tuna poke bowl, along with fresh crisp salads. The menu has something for everyone and no one was disappointed, great food all around. Billy is an outstanding waiter and keep us all happy throughout the meal too. No complaints just compliments.
