Located in the heart of Key West in a renovated historic building. Maine lobster, fresh shrimp, and waterfront views. There are two dining rooms – the more expensive one is upstairs.

You’ll never forget the charm and delicious food at this wonderful place (see Key West).

A meal here is not to be missed, not only for the exciting food – such as their signature wild mushroom and truffle “martini” – but also because the place is so central to Key West life.

Haute cuisine in a breezy, easy setting right on the Atlantic. Enticing menu items include arugula and spinach with sweethot mustard vinaigrette and crispy duck wontons, and knockout desserts.

The chef utilizes the abundance of ingredients indigenous to the Caribbean and the Florida peninsula, but prepares them with a flourish that redefines regional cuisine. The lobster with marinated plantain is a tour de force.

Great Cuban food in abundance in a friendly, no-nonsense setting. Lots of diversity, such as roast pork with casava and tamale , breaded palomilla steak, or stuffed crab.

Owned by actress Kelly McGillis, this restaurant-snack bar is easy-going and pleasant, serving mostly sandwiches, salads, and great breakfasts.

Great oysters, crab legs, spicy steamed peel-and-eat shrimp, clams, mussels, crawfish, conch fritters, and Island rum drinks to wash it all down.

Homemade buckwheat pancakes or fresh snapper with a nut crust help make this a favorite for Sunday brunch among the Conch cognoscenti.

Open for lunch and dinner, this centrally located Italian eatery has superb fresh pasta. As a result, it’s always busy and a firm local favorite. Tasty sauces, and great lasagne.
