Key Colony Inn Restaurant

User Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

Possibly the worst restaurant in Florida!

Just a few points regarding the food:
The onion soup that I ordered was terrible. The only way to describe it was as if someone had put too many beef bouillon cubes in a pot of water and baked it with cheese. There was no onion flavor at all, in spite of the boiled onions in the crock.
Chicken Parmigiana was about five parts breadcrumbs to one part chicken breast. It was actually not possible to tell where the chicken ended and the breading began. The entire piece was fried and then dropped under a salamander to melt the cheese… unfortunately; the bottom of the breading was blackened from sticking to whatever it was placed on under the fire.
One order of veal was so tough, that more than half went uneaten.
The side order of broccoli was so overcooked it could be eaten with a spoon. Broccoli should be bright green when served, not dull brownish green. It was not just my portion that came out like this, but other tables nearby received the same. It was my observation that much of it went uneaten.
Salads were nothing more than a few leaves of lettuce with a bit of tomato. In two cases the wrong dressing was brought.
The rest of the food was of similar quality.
As regards the service:
Two people in the party asked for a side order of pasta. They specified “angel hair”. The waitress brought basic spaghetti. No sauce, just plain spaghetti. My cousin told her that he had asked for “angel hair”, but she didn’t seem to understand the difference. So, both people asked for some “pasta sauce”. They were completely finished their meals before a different server brought the sauce. They gave up on the idea of a sprinkle of Parmesan.
After dropping the food, we couldn’t have gotten the waitress’s attention if we had sent up a flag. There was no offer to refill beverages. There was not an inquiry to see if all was satisfactory. We didn't see the waitress again until after the table was cleared. The busser just picked up plates that were loaded with uneaten food and didn’t even bother to mention it to a manager or the waitress.
Needless to say, we skipped dessert and coffee, and frankly went elsewhere for the end of the meal.
As a party of 4, we were seated next to the kitchen door. Our waitress was a rather tall blonde young lady, whose name I didn’t learn. However, if you had gone through her “MasterCard” slips at the end of the evening, one of hers had “terrible food lousy service” written on the bottom, right under the very small tip.

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised at this find! What a delightful dinner experience! The quality of the food and the price could not be beat. Also the live piano background music just added to the ambience. We would definitely return again and again!!
