Review from Murray R.

Food was very good. Offers a little bit of everything. The chicken balls and fried rice I had were very good and the Pizza my wife had was excellent.
Atmosphere reminds me of Moxies, but nowhere near as snobby.
The only detractor for the evening was the live entertainment, which was truly awful. Thankfully that was the first time I've encountered that in many trips to the restaurant. -

I thought this place was a Moxie's but turns out it's something entirely different.
The menu is massive and there's no real theme to the restaurant. What that leads to is a menu were nothing is particular really good. We split a bunch of apps and 2 people got meals that some of us picked at. It tastes more like a pub trying to make food for a pubs extended menu rather than a restaurant making meals.
We also found service to be slow.
The place looks nice and honestly it might be a great place to grab a drink in the summer. I thought the place was Moxie's from the outside, the inside is very similar to Moxie's.Listed in: 2012: 366 Day Challenge

Patio. Patio. Patio.
That should be the review, but sorry I'm continuing. The patio is great. There is multi-level seating, bright blue umbrellas and at nighttime- just the right breeze.
The nachos had a slightly hot (spicy-wise) bean spread and all the fixings of onions, peppers, cheese and salsa. I prefer the salsa on the side, not baked with the nachos so it's more of a refreshing dip but that's me and other people may like more dry nachos. The cheese was melty- a must.
The salmon was yummy though for a leek sauce, it could have come with a bit less sauce and a bit more leek. Still very creamy and I liked to dip my sweet potato fries up in the there!
-You get two sides with the meal and the fries were so soft inside with crunch on the outside. Fan. KS on the Keys, you've got one.
-The garden salad was a garden salad. Nothing fantastic but I like that it was in a seperate bowl.
Service was great other than a small snag of each person having to individually ask for water. It wasn't just assumed we all wanted some but after 20 minutes of "Oh? Can I have a glass of water too?" everyone was satisfied. Like I said, other than that everything went smoothly. Our waitress filled those drinks back up with perfect timing, did not rush anyone, handled our complicated bill splitting and sent out a free slice of cheesecake for a friend's birthday!
The restaurant is shiny and brand new, and seems to be a goodie for a variety of occasions. Worthwhile if you're in the area! -

this restaurant is way too confident for what it actually is.
I had the sweet and sour stir fry. My boyfriend had the schezwan stir fry. Our meal was prepared in five minutes. This SHOULD be a good thing, but when the restaurant is moderately full, and they have such A HUGE menu, this can mean one of two things: my food was MICROWAVED. or they have ten head chefs in that kitchen. My meal consisted of 80% sauce, 5 percent veggies 5 percent dry deep fried chicken.
The waitress came by twice to check on us. She Didn't check anything, she said "you guys are doing good?" AS SHE WAS STILL WALKING. I had no time to mention my meal.
I sent my food back. I was told I'm wrong by the waitress "this is the best item on the menu" I was not offered anything else to eat, I was not given an apology or any kind of customer service, AND she still charged me full price for a meal I had three bites out of!!! The manager gave me fifty percent off. Wow, I just paid 8 dollars for three bites of dried out, sauce covered chicken, and rice made yesterday.
Beware. When a restaurants menu is 100 items, they can't all be prepared fresh, or the customers would leave from waiting so long. I strongly think my meal was microwaved or made yesterday. The gallon of sauce on my food was an effort to distract me. -

I have been to KS on the keys many times since it has opened. I have had the salmon, steak and stir fry. The food was excellent. Service was pretty good. The atmosphere was welcoming. The decor is modern and the bar upstairs gives a different feel than the dining downstairs. Great experience.

The food was undercooked and tasteless. My friend who had a seafood dish immediately knew it was just thawed. My hamburger plate was tasteless and quite frankly unappealing. We both said we will not be going back. Shame. Staff was nice and the site was appealing though.
