Amazing dining experience. The slightly breaded yellow tail with mashed potatoes, arepa with chorizo/ cheese, and the tequenos were extremely tasteful. Very chill atmosphere. Definitely will come back when we are back in key west.

Definitely 3 $$$, not just 2. For the prices, I expected a side dish fancier than white rice. To their credit, they did accommodate my request and provides a vegetable. The ambience and service was excellent and attentive. The yellow tail snapper was cooked perfectly and the sangria is worth it.

It seems like this place has amazing food and the menu looks amazing so this review is based solely on our experience. We had a party of 6 on a Sunday and showed up around 6pm. Restaurant was 85% empty but we were told they had no room for us for over 2 hours!! I understand we did not have a reservation, but I figured they could have worked something out to accommodate our party of six. Hopefully we will get to eat here in the future and change our rating since it does seem like a very good place to eat!!

New location for some old memories. The former Columbian grace was a great find many years ago and returning to find a new name and location didn't disappoint either. Closer to Duvall st and a wonderful new space with the same outstanding food make this a Must stop on any visit to key west! The empanadas alone are worth the trip and the sangria really is the best ever!

Delicious Colombian style breakfast! Very nice presentation and friendly, fast service. Nice atmosphere, upbeat music and free glass of sangria with an entree. Def worth checking out

Food is amazing! A few steps off the beaten path of Duval Street, this place has the best red sangria you'll ever have! The homemade guacamole and homemade chips are a great appetizer. Also the fresh beef empanadas were delicious! My husband and I shared the steak quesadilla which is served open faced, comes with a side of spicy green salsa! For our main course we shared a white fish dish that I can't remember the name of but it was served with a light cream sauce and white rice! So so good! This was out first choice of where to eat while in Key West and we may go back again! The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

The red sangria here is THE best. The fresh yellowtail snapper special was also delicious, as was the guacamole and chorizo appetizers. The service here was personal and pleasant, and it is a really cute place. We will definitely be back and recommend anyone go there for a wonderful meal while in Key West.

We'd previously dined at Colombian Grace, chef-owner Zulma's former restaurant -- and gave it 5 stars. Bliss is as good, if not better, with the standouts of the menu intact (red and white sangria, guacamole, Mom's grouper casserole) but in a intimate space in a more convenient location on Petronia, closer to Duval. Must gets: the homemade guacamole and fresh chips, served with a side of cilantro jalapeño sauce to add some heat; the yellowtail snapper in a caper beurre blanc, which is both light and decadent; and Mom's black grouper casserole, which is just cheesy bechamel deliciousness studded with huge chunks of perfectly cooked black grouper. The white sangria was spot on: fresh, with lots of fresh apple and pear, and boozy but not overpoweringly so. Despite our best intentions for a drink-free dinner, we ended up drinking two pitchers with zero regret. Cafe con leche and roasted coconut ice cream rounded out our lovely meal. Zulma herself waited on us, along with some previous staff from Colombian Grace. She's a kind, approachable chef and proprietor, who will happily answer any question you have about the menu, the food, her experiences. She's thrilled to be back in business in Key West -- and the island is better for her re-opening. Bliss, which is aptly named, is a must-visit during your Key West stay. And don't even pretend like you're not having sangria. You will -- and you will be happier for it. :)

Such an amazing find in a tourist town! This restaurant has really good food at decent prices. Started off the guacamole and chips, which were both great. Make sure you get the green Verde sauce as well. For the main course I got their star item, the yellow tail snapper. An amazing dish! Beautiful presentation, generous portions, and most of all great taste. The fish was incredible, the white wine bur blanc was awesome sauce, and even the rice great. Paired it with a some of their sangria... Uh I was in paradise. And out of their homemade dessert I got the key lime tart and it was really good. The restaurant is off Deval street, so you don't have the huge crowds over running the place. The business is still fairly new and it shows, but not in the bad way. The owner is really nice and makes sure your experience is a pleasurable as possible. Only downside is that the restaurant's atmosphere. Not quite romantic or intimate, but a step up from casual. So do yourself a favor, stop in and treat yourself to a great meal.

We were in Key West this past week and decided to give this place a try based on the Yelp reviews. I agree with everything written on this review board! Red Sangria- delightful, not too sweet. Guacamole- AMAZING. We are from California so we thought how could this possibly be better than CA avocados- but they did it! The avocados were so ripe and you could tell the guac was made fresh to order. DO IT! Arepa Paisa Con Queso with Chorizo- could have definitely done WITHOUT. The chorizo was a over the top (too much in quantity)- and the corn cake was a bit bland. Red bean soup- Just what you would expect. Shrimp Dinner- delicious! Creamy, flavorful, and fresh. The food was over the top awesome. The service was amazing as well. I'm so glad we tried this place and we will definitely be back!

Gina C.
This place is absolutely wonderful!!!! The food is so fresh and delicious! I ordered the Snapper and my friend got the Grouper Casserole. We shared and both of them were absolutely heavenly!!! We also got the fried cheese bread which was so different and tasty! It is definitely on my top five best restaurant experiences ever!!!!

Thanks Yelp for helping me pick this place after a disappointing dinner last night Bliss more that made up for it. It's a little expensive but we'll worth it. My only gripe is that the sangria was a little bland. Other than that dinner was delicious. I recommend Bliss a a go to place when ever you are in key west just make sure that you make reservations in advance because their wasn't one empty table in the restaurant.

This was by far the best restaurant in Key West. We were there in March and decided to give it a try...months later and I'm still talking about it. My picky daughter loved everything she had. White or red sangria doesn't matter...they were excellent. Service was fantastic, like I was at home. The guacamole...to die for. I hope to visit again soon.

My wife and I read the reviews and decided to give Bliss a try. The place is a block off of Duval in the Bahamian district. Small restaurant with simple furnishings. Our waiter was very informative and attentive. My wife had a shrimp dish and I had Mom's Casserol. Both dishes were fantastic. Toward's the end of our meal, the chef/owner came out to check on us which I thought was very cool. She was truly interested in our opinion. This lady cares and it shows in her cooking. We love this place and look forward to our next visit to Key West so we can eat at Bliss again.

Kevin S.
Not only was this the best meal we had while in Key West, this was the best meal we had in months (and we live in the NYC area so that's saying something). We enjoyed a very unique guacamole as an appetizer and incredible sangrias. For my entree, I had the best shrimp dish I have ever had and my girlfriend had an exquisitely prepared yellowtail filet. Cannot recommend this place enough.

The food melted in my mouth, the guacamole and chips as a starter was the best guacamole I have ever eaten. Me and my friend had different dishes and we were more than happy with our food and service. The wait staff very friendly and professional.

This was the best restaurant I have gone to in a long time. The fresh food, the atmosphere, and the great location off of Duval has made this place a hit. I would strongly advise everyone who visits Key West to go here for dinner. The guacamole was incredible! I had the La Calera chicken and was so delighted with the white wine garlic sauce. I did not have dessert, but everyone else in our party raved about the Caramel Brownie and the Roasted Coconut Ice Cream. I wish I could eat there everyday!

Read the reviews and decided to give Bliss a try. We are so glad we did. Great place off Duval street. Staff was friendly and efficient. Damien was charming. Table of 4...3 of us tried yellow tail snapper and it was delicious. My husband had the grouper casserole and loved it. Everything was fresh and made to order. Owner came over to greet us. All in all a great dining experience. We will definitely go back when we are in Key West

Amazing! all of our dishes were outstanding. You must make Bliss apart of your stay. Andrew was great. Zulma is a great chef. You won't be disappointed.

Buddy S.
Great place! The snapper on the special menu was outstanding. Wife and I shared a bowl of guacamole and chips for an appetizer and have to say it was the tastiest guacamole I've ever eaten. Red sangria was fresh and YUMMY! No way you can have only one glass. Owner is Columbian and used to own a restaurant here in town called Columbian Grace. Super nice and honors local discounts...just ask. One word...WOW!

Bliss is the hidden gem off of Duvall street. We have been back three times because we can't get enough of Zulma Segura's South American flair for mixing fresh ingredients. The seafood is always fresh and the pasta dishes are delicious. My friends and family were impressed with the level of food quality and the excellent service. You can't pass this up if you happen to like original dishes at a good value.

suzanne s.
If you are in Key West and want to get away from Duval and Drag Queens, come here. Even so, schedule your Duval foray for later and gather your Bliss and nourishment here first. Homemade guacamole is some of the best I have ever had; chunky and full of flavor! The dishes are fresh and amazing...the shrimp did come with white rice, but it was so good! I asked for a side of spinach and was happily accommodated! Husband loved his Yellow Tail Snapper! But the must have here is the Sangria and dessert. The Key lime tart is frozen and sliced with a sauce that sends it out of this atmosphere and straight to Bliss! The chocolate brownie with caramel is amazing too! Eat here, find some Bliss, and then head into the chaos of Key West, if you must...

I know there are a million places to eat in Key West, but you better get your butt over to Bliss for dinner and desert. I never write reviews on yelp, but I had to pick up the phone and write a review for this delicious place. No joke, it's awesome. The yellowtail snapper house specialty was out of this world. Be warned, it will ruin your favorite resturant for you.

Thank goodness we chose Bliss after reading reviews on here. It was the best meal we had during our stay. I LOVED the guacamole made to order.it was the best I ever had , as was the calamari and shrimp in tomato broth. So tender and broth was light. Wish I was there to order right now! My husband loved the Snapper! The service was excellent and they could not have been friendlier . We will be back there next year. On the top of our list .

I seriously cannot sing enough praises for Bliss. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon it using open table on our first night in KW and were so blown away with our dinner we plan on going again before we leave. It's a cute, small, no frills building with a super attentive staff. All their signs claim "best sangria ever", they are not lying. Their white sangria is probably the most delicious refreshing beverage I have ever had. Bf and I do not like super sweet drinks and you could tell this flavor was fresh. Get the guac, oh my god. It's so fresh and amazing. I had the grouper casserole. It was perfect cheesey goodness. Boyfriend had the fresh fish, and he loved it as well. We can't wait to go back.

Lovely little family owned place. The staff was extremely attentive and the food was world class. They boast the best sangria and I think they live up to it :)....get off Duval Street and give them a try .

Gregory O.
We stopped in on a whim and we're thrilled with our luck. First off the sangria may, in fact, be "The Best Sangria Ever" just like they advertise. They are full of flavor but not overly sweet and are perfectly refreshing for the climate in Key West. We both had the Columbian eggs, the ones with the red beans on top, and they were delicious. The eggs were light and fluffy and the beans were ideally seasoned, and are perfectly complimented by the special Columbian salsa that comes on the side. The white corn cakes are absolutely delicious but I suggest you eat them while they are piping hot, they are still delicious when they cool down but the cheese, when cooled, makes the texture a little chewy. The only flaw, and it is a minor one, was the chorizo sausage link was a little overlooked. The flavor was excellent but still it was a little tough. The staff was friendly, if a little laid back, and the super friendly owner who is also the chef takes the time to stop all the tables to see if you are enjoying your meal. We will be happy to come back and explore their menu further.

Pretty amazing. Drove passed it off Duval and gave it a shot. The owner Zulma was took care of us and was really great. The food was honestly the best I had in Key West. It's was a small menu, which I like. The fish was so fresh and every sauce was perfected. It's a must try

Lori C.
A terrific new restaurant featuring Latin food with a Columbian influence. The ambiance is casual/elegant, and the staff is wonderfully attentive and friendly. Dishes were very fresh and well prepared and the menu featured unique dishes we had not seen elsewhere. We ordered the arripas with chorizo which was delicious, and the chorizo was the best we had ever tasted. Our salad, the mamas salad, was very fresh and delicious. My husband ordered the the Petronia chicken which the really enjoyed; I loved the grouper dish. We were unfortunately just too full for desert, but the cafe con leche was outstanding and satisfying.

Wonderful intimate restaurant a bit off the beaten path. We loved the food and service was great. However, somewhere on Yelp we saw that they were offering a free glass of sangria (which was wonderful!), with each entree. The server informed us that that promotion had expired, and they had no way to remove it off Yelp. Still worth it!

Scott M.
Recently enjoyed 2 wonderful meals at Bliss on a recent first visit to Key West. The snapper dish was the best seafood I had during my stay. Zulma and her staff there really put heart and soul into all they do there. Many wonderful restaurants in Key West but this was hands down my favorite.

Steve S.
I've been coming to visit Key West for over a decade to tarpon fish. I've had some really great dining experiences during my visit and some pretty marginal ones as well. Based on a recommendation we gave this Columbian Restaurant a try last year. We were the only ones there. Our meal not only had a great presentation, but was excellent to the palate as well. This year upon returning, given the lack of patrons during our first visit, we were all hoping that they would survive so we could again enjoy this wonderful new addition to the Key West eating scene. Again, having recently returned we had a great meal, wonderful service, yet to our dismay given our good our experience was here there were very few in the restaurant. Great place. We can't wait to visit again next year and enjoy this wonderful restaurant. You won't be disappointed.

Had dinner tonight at Bliss--the red snapper (after an arrepa appetizer). It was magnificent. Frankly, it's probably the best food I've had in Key West, or at least among the very top. Having traveled to world and eaten at the best restaurants, I tend to be critical. But Bliss is amazing. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Not impressed. Food was expensive, portions were small, and there was little choice on the menu. Service was good, though, and we enjoyed the free sangria.

Tom M.
The staff greeted us warmly and chatted with us during our visit. We had an empanadas app. We tried one of each variety and they were both great. I had the avocado, corn, bacon and shrimp dish it was delicious. Perhaps the best dish I have had all year. My dining partner had the yellow tail and he was equally happy with his meal. We can't wait to go back.
(5)
Christine M.
This was a meal that is memorable. Everything was fresh and plated beautifully. We shared the avocado, red pepper, bacon and corn appetizer - fantastic. I had the snapper and my husband had the chicken with an orange bourbon sauce - both excellent. We don't usually have dessert but had to see what it was like. Fresh roasted coconut ice cream and frozen key lime pie with mango sauce - the flavors were bursting - so fresh! We were also pleasantly surprised at the bill - very fair and worth it! One of the best meals from beginning to end that we have ever had!

Mashuk B.
I just finished eating breakfast here and it was one of the best meals I've eaten in Key West. I ordered the Columbian, which the waiter recommended as one of his favorites. It was easily one of the best omelets I've ever had. It came with slices of goat cheese on the side which were also quite tasty. I ordered shrimp as an extra and it was good but nothing special. The meal came with some green habanero sauce which was flavorful and added a nice touch. If I ever come back to key west I would definitely dine here again!

We were so lucky to have found this lovely little restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The menu was small, but everything was delicious. I dare you to have just one glass of the sangria. It was amazing. This restaurant is a hidden gem. Go there and avoid the tourist raps around Duvall.

I asked for a side of spinach and was happily accommodated! Husband loved his Yellow Tail Snapper! But the must have here is the Sangria and dessert. The Key lime tart is frozen and sliced with a sauce that sends it out of this atmosphere and straight to Bliss! The chocolate brownie with caramel is amazing too! Eat here, find some Bliss, and then head into the chaos of Key West, if you must...

I know there are a million places to eat in Key West, but you better get your butt over to Bliss for dinner and desert. I never write reviews on yelp, but I had to pick up the phone and write a review for this delicious place. No joke, it's awesome. The yellowtail snapper house specialty was out of this world. Be warned, it will ruin your favorite resturant for you.

Small and quaint. Wonderful food and staff. You can't go wrong stopping by here for dinner. Momma's Casserole with Black Group is the BEST!

Thank goodness we chose Bliss after reading reviews on here. It was the best meal we had during our stay. I LOVED the guacamole made to order.it was the best I ever had , as was the calamari and shrimp in tomato broth. So tender and broth was light. Wish I was there to order right now! My husband loved the Snapper! The service was excellent and they could not have been friendlier . We will be back there next year. On the top of our list .
(5)Alexander N.
Yes the guacamole is just that good. The snapper is excellent. Bliss is one of the top, if not the top restaurant in key west.

Food was great, service was great, prices were lower than expected for such amazing food. Absolutely recommend it for visitors to Key West who want to get away from mobs of crowds. Make a reservation! You won't regret it.

Everything was so fresh and very well prepared. I had the shrimp dinner and it rocked. The guacamole was made to order and really awesome. One of the best meals i had on the island.

Charming venue and delicious meal just steps away from Duval Street. Loved our dinner. Inventive and expansive menu, excellent service! My new favorite bistro in Key West! Try the New York strip, the snapper and the guacamole. You will not be disappointed!

I seriously cannot sing enough praises for Bliss. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon it using open table on our first night in KW and were so blown away with our dinner we plan on going again before we leave. It's a cute, small, no frills building with a super attentive staff. All their signs claim "best sangria ever", they are not lying. Their white sangria is probably the most delicious refreshing beverage I have ever had. Bf and I do not like super sweet drinks and you could tell this flavor was fresh. Get the guac, oh my god. It's so fresh and amazing. I had the grouper casserole. It was perfect cheesey goodness. Boyfriend had the fresh fish, and he loved it as well. We can't wait to go back.

The sangria is great! I loved the actual fruit inside. The entrees were a little disappointing. Very sparse considering the price, but it was ok.

Lovely little family owned place. The staff was extremely attentive and the food was world class. They boast the best sangria and I think they live up to it :)....get off Duval Street and give them a try .

We stopped in on a whim and we're thrilled with our luck. First off the sangria may, in fact, be "The Best Sangria Ever" just like they advertise. They are full of flavor but not overly sweet and are perfectly refreshing for the climate in Key West. We both had the Columbian eggs, the ones with the red beans on top, and they were delicious. The eggs were light and fluffy and the beans were ideally seasoned, and are perfectly complimented by the special Columbian salsa that comes on the side. The white corn cakes are absolutely delicious but I suggest you eat them while they are piping hot, they are still delicious when they cool down but the cheese, when cooled, makes the texture a little chewy. The only flaw, and it is a minor one, was the chorizo sausage link was a little overlooked. The flavor was excellent but still it was a little tough. The staff was friendly, if a little laid back, and the super friendly owner who is also the chef takes the time to stop all the tables to see if you are enjoying your meal. We will be happy to come back and explore their menu further.

Pretty amazing. Drove passed it off Duval and gave it a shot. The owner Zulma was took care of us and was really great. The food was honestly the best I had in Key West. It's was a small menu, which I like. The fish was so fresh and every sauce was perfected. It's a must try

A terrific new restaurant featuring Latin food with a Columbian influence. The ambiance is casual/elegant, and the staff is wonderfully attentive and friendly. Dishes were very fresh and well prepared and the menu featured unique dishes we had not seen elsewhere. We ordered the arripas with chorizo which was delicious, and the chorizo was the best we had ever tasted. Our salad, the mamas salad, was very fresh and delicious. My husband ordered the the Petronia chicken which the really enjoyed; I loved the grouper dish. We were unfortunately just too full for desert, but the cafe con leche was outstanding and satisfying.

Service was excellant, food was outstanding! The coconut ice cream was so refreshing and made for a wonderful ending to our meal.
(5)Jill B.
Wonderful intimate restaurant a bit off the beaten path. We loved the food and service was great. However, somewhere on Yelp we saw that they were offering a free glass of sangria (which was wonderful!), with each entree. The server informed us that that promotion had expired, and they had no way to remove it off Yelp. Still worth it!
(5)Scott M.
Recently enjoyed 2 wonderful meals at Bliss on a recent first visit to Key West. The snapper dish was the best seafood I had during my stay. Zulma and her staff there really put heart and soul into all they do there. Many wonderful restaurants in Key West but this was hands down my favorite.

I've been coming to visit Key West for over a decade to tarpon fish. I've had some really great dining experiences during my visit and some pretty marginal ones as well. Based on a recommendation we gave this Columbian Restaurant a try last year. We were the only ones there. Our meal not only had a great presentation, but was excellent to the palate as well. This year upon returning, given the lack of patrons during our first visit, we were all hoping that they would survive so we could again enjoy this wonderful new addition to the Key West eating scene. Again, having recently returned we had a great meal, wonderful service, yet to our dismay given our good our experience was here there were very few in the restaurant. Great place. We can't wait to visit again next year and enjoy this wonderful restaurant. You won't be disappointed.

EXCELLENT! Simple, quaint, would never know it is a half block off Duval. Good, quality food. Nice staff. Complimentary glass of sangria.
(5)Laura V.
Don't miss the appetizer Cartegena! Every item we had was delicious, but this is a very special seafood dish!
(5)Robyn O.
The best guacamole I've ever had. We went late before closing so we had appetizers and the best homemade sangria I've ever had. Wanted to go back for dinner but ran out of time. I would go back again.
(4)RJ C.
Had dinner tonight at Bliss--the red snapper (after an arrepa appetizer). It was magnificent. Frankly, it's probably the best food I've had in Key West, or at least among the very top. Having traveled to world and eaten at the best restaurants, I tend to be critical. But Bliss is amazing. I'd recommend it to anyone.
(5)Sarah A.
Not impressed. Food was expensive, portions were small, and there was little choice on the menu. Service was good, though, and we enjoyed the free sangria.
(2)Tom M.
The staff greeted us warmly and chatted with us during our visit. We had an empanadas app. We tried one of each variety and they were both great. I had the avocado, corn, bacon and shrimp dish it was delicious. Perhaps the best dish I have had all year. My dining partner had the yellow tail and he was equally happy with his meal. We can't wait to go back.
(5)Christine M.
This was a meal that is memorable. Everything was fresh and plated beautifully. We shared the avocado, red pepper, bacon and corn appetizer - fantastic. I had the snapper and my husband had the chicken with an orange bourbon sauce - both excellent. We don't usually have dessert but had to see what it was like. Fresh roasted coconut ice cream and frozen key lime pie with mango sauce - the flavors were bursting - so fresh! We were also pleasantly surprised at the bill - very fair and worth it! One of the best meals from beginning to end that we have ever had!

I just finished eating breakfast here and it was one of the best meals I've eaten in Key West. I ordered the Columbian, which the waiter recommended as one of his favorites. It was easily one of the best omelets I've ever had. It came with slices of goat cheese on the side which were also quite tasty. I ordered shrimp as an extra and it was good but nothing special. The meal came with some green habanero sauce which was flavorful and added a nice touch. If I ever come back to key west I would definitely dine here again!
(5)Emily T.
Bypass at your own risk. The best seafood I have EVER had!!!! Absolutely incredible! And awesome Sangria to boot. We had the Yellowtail and the Grouper and shared both. Must stop here! Friendly, chill atmosphere :)
(5)Nancy S.
We were so lucky to have found this lovely little restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The menu was small, but everything was delicious. I dare you to have just one glass of the sangria. It was amazing. This restaurant is a hidden gem. Go there and avoid the tourist raps around Duvall.
(5)Carolyn P.
It really is the best sangria ever. We got the delicious and it was indeed so. Even the potatoes were great! Perfect bacon. Great plating.
