If you want a rehearsal dinner that is fun for all ages then Turtle Kraals is the place to go. My husband and I are from sarasota and had planned a destination wedding in June. We had originally planned on having our rehearsal dinner at Rum Barrel solely on the fact it was across the street from our hotel. About 2 months before our wedding I found out that Rum barrel was closing down and was unable to host. The event coordinator at Rum Barrel gave me contact information to Turtle Kraals as well as some of their other sister restaurant. I immediately fell in love with Turtle Kraals, the view and space were perfect for our crowd of 34 people including 8 children. Mike Hay, the event coordinator, not only help coordinate our rehearsal dinner but he was also our bartender throughout the night. He made our night perfect. I couldn't thank him enough for all his help and preparation. My family raved about the food. We loved the beef empanadas, bruschetta and flank steak.
If you are looking for a rehearsal dinner in Key West this is the place!!!

Mike Hess with Turtle Kraals was great. We rented out the tower bar and had a great time. They were very accommodating and all of our guests absolutely loved the food.

I had my reception at Turtle Kraals and everything was so nice. It's a restaurant overlooking the bay with a beautiful view. The food was great and everyone was so helpful.
