Where We Set Up in Key West and the Lower Keys
Old Town Key West is our most popular service area. The historic district's iconic conch houses those pastel-painted Victorian gems with wraparound porches and lush tropical courtyards provide intimate, beautiful settings for private hibachi dinners. Many of these properties feature hidden garden courtyards that are perfectly sized for our teppanyaki setup, creating a secluded paradise feeling even in the heart of the island's bustling tourist district.
New Town's modern residences and condo communities offer more spacious setups for larger events, with pool decks and open backyards ideal for groups of 30 or more. The Duval Street area vacation rentals cater to bachelorette and bachelor groups who want the convenience of walkable nightlife combined with an in-house dining experience. Beyond the main island, we serve Stock Island's waterfront properties, the exclusive Sunset Key (accessible by boat), Key Haven's residential community, and the more remote Geiger Key and Sugarloaf Key retreats for those seeking ultimate privacy.
