The Conch Republic Seafood Company Reviews

We had a destination wedding in Key West on 11/02/2019. We had our rehearsal dinner for the wedding party and families, followed by a welcome cocktail hour for all guests on 11/01/2019. I can't say enough good things about this place! Planning the menu and the cocktail hour with Casey was so effortless. He was very responsive (even when we kept changing things) and extremely flexible. I loved the patio area on the water where we had our own bar . It was the perfect place for a casual welcome party and I would definitely recommend it for rehearsal dinner too. The pricing was reasonable and the food was delicious!

Service was excellent! Casey was super easy to deal with setting everything up. Exactly what I wanted when the day actually came! Food was fantastic. Key lime pie was excellent!

Conch Republic was amazing!!! We had our ceremony there as well as our reception and I had so many compliments that it was the best wedding food ever! The staff was amazing and so nice. It's right on the water so the view was spectacular. Fury sports cattamarans dock there and the manager had the captain of one of the big boats congratulate us as they were docking. They were so easy to work with and really work with you on what you want and your budget. They provide all the tables, chairs, and linens so that might save you some money as well. You get your choice of whether you want your event to be inside or outside and they do a great job keeping it as private for you as they can. I would reccommend them to anyone looking for a Key West reception or rehearsal dinner.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Conch Republic on 01/06/18. We opted for an outdoors reception on the brick patio, a buffet style dinner, and an open bar package. Casey was super responsive and helpful during the planning process, which was especially important to us since it was a destination wedding. He even helped us add a tent and some heaters the day before the wedding when it looked like the weather might be a bit chilly. The staff were absolutely amazing, the food was great, and our guests had an awesome time. I would definitely recommend Conch Republic if you’re looking for somewhere to host a fun, laid-back reception!

Absolutely Amazing Venue!!! Casey was amazing to work with. He was very detail oriented & giving ideas when we weren't sure what options to make. Our wedding cocktail hour went off without any issues and the bar tender was on point. They made every effort to make this a memorable occasion of all of us.

Conch Republic would get 10+ stars if that was possible. From the amazing service prior to the event to the terrific execution the day of. Casey met with the Groom and I back in May to discuss our rehearsal dinner needs. We had 35 people and each one of them raved about the food. We opted for buffet option #1 – The Cuban Twist! I can tell you there was more than enough food for everyone to eat 3x if they wanted to. They even provided to go boxes for our guest to take some back to their hotels for a late night snack! The open bar was a hit – although I thought our crew would drink a lot more than it did! Casey and his team did not disappoint. They went above and beyond when the live music canceled – we still had music and a great time. If you are looking to host any size event, I would highly recommend speaking with Casey and he can work out the perfect plan that fits what you need perfectly. Lastly, I cannot forget to mention the award winning Key Lime Pie! It was a hit and all of the left over pieces were packed up and given to our guests to indulge in back at the hotel. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! We will continue to come by for dinner each time we are in town!

We had our wedding reception here on February 25th for 33 guests and LOVED the location and the food was amazing. We did a buffet out on the deck area which was roped off specifically for our group. We had 2 hours of cocktail hour for our guests which everyone loved. I would recommend hiring these guys for your wedding reception, as you won't be disappointed. Thanks for making our wedding day extra special and to your fabulous employee Casey and his staff. Keep up the great work!

I can't begin to explain how amazing this restaurant was for our wedding reception last Saturday, 8/8. For the past year, I had been planning a Key West wedding from Texas. Graff was positive and helpful the entire time (even though I constantly changed guest numbers, food choices, etc)! He was incredibly flexible and hospitable from the day we began emailing to the night of the reception. He worked with our wedding planner to iron out logistical details and, as a result, the night went on without a hitch! The staff was very involved. For me, they made sure I had a plate to myself (we all know how brides rarely make time to eat) and a drink in my hand at all times. It was an absolute magical night and I couldn't imagine having our reception at a better place. Not to mention, the food is to die for (Make sure you try the Snapper Wellington!). Can't wait to come back for our one year anniversary!

I had my reception on the brick patio. It was right on the marina. Beautiful views. Food was great, and so was the desert. The bartender was very nice. Can't wait to go back to Key West next year for our one year anniversary.

People are still talking about how great our wedding food was and it's been 3 months! They made everything super easy and even followed up with me when I slacked on getting back to them. Casey was great to work with. We only had 20 people and had a nice table in the dining room. They even set up our cake and brought out gloves :). The food was 5 star and our server was amazing (sorry I don't know her name). No one had to wait at all. I loved having the open bar include frozen drinks. We wanted to be on the water too and this was perfect.

We held our welcome party at Conch Republic, and it was a terrific start to our wedding weekend. Graff was so easy to work with as we planned the menu and event. The staff who worked the event went above and beyond to make it go off without a hitch. Everyone who attended loved the food, especially the Key Lime Pie! We could not have been happier with the whole experience and would recommend the Conch Republic without reservation!

My daughter was recently married at The Reach Resort in Key West. A beautiful cocktail hour was held there after the ceremony.
A reception followed at The Conch Republic Seafood Company. If it wasn't for the fact that my daughter really wanted to have her reception there, I would have chosen another venue after the initial meeting with their most arrogant wedding consultant. He was not only rude, but acted as if was doing us a favor by letting us hold the reception there instead of being appreciative of our selecting this restaurant for the the event. When I asked him about special pricing , he commented, "This place is not Wal-Mart."
When I went to pay the bill after the reception, there was a mix-up made by the Conch Republic Seafood Company concerning the amount I had prepaid. Even though the error was made on their end, it was insinuated that I was a liar and a cheater and treated so rudely that I will never go back there. This was a most unfortunate experience on my daughter's special day.

The CRSC had the best looking menu(I booked everything on line as we live in NY) The food was delicsious and the portion were large. However the resturant is very very large and very very noisy. We had a party of 11 and could hardly hear each other. The cake was suppossed to be on view during dinner. We didnt see it til we had to leave (Which we decided to cut the cake back at our vacation home) However I think we were charged for the cutting of the cake (2.50pp if it wasnt thier cake) We were offerd a child's menu for our 2 yr old yet she was given and we were charged for surf and turf dinner for her. Then came the bill. There was some trouble w/our credit card. Graf the manager didnt have the proffessionalism to pull us aside and discuss the matter this was done at the table in front of our guests!!! Not cool!! I would reccommend the CRSCfor happy hour after a day at the beach not for a formal or semi formal event. And especially if you are booking thru the internet and over the phone. Graf the manager is harder to get in touch with than the president. If you like phone tag have fun. PS dont tip youer waiter seperate it's already decided for you how much you will tip and its added to the bill. No one mentioned this and we almost tipped 2x's for soso service. The waiter probably couldnt hear a word we saying.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Conch Republic and Seafood Company. At first they seemed flexible and accommodating so we booked it a year in advance to have it as our venue. Throughout the year they were good at communicating to us and keeping us up to date on things. When it came wedding week we tried to contact them to make our final payment and to make sure all the food we ordered was correct etc. nobody called us back. Three days before the wedding we finally got to their facility and the manger handling our wedding reservation (Mr. Graf) was out of the country on vacation and never told us. The employees seemed to not even know our wedding was booked there. At our reception are names were wrong, the food order was wrong, and they ran out of beer for our guests. It was horrible. I highly recommend nobody have their wedding or any kind of party there.
