As the summer comes to an end, Floridians are hoping for a breath of cooler winter air. I assume we will be waiting another three months for that. Meanwhile, enjoy the bar-b-ques, get togethers and long weekend. This weekend in Key West is Brewfest, a beer-filled festival. I know what you’re thinking: Key West is always a . . . → Read More: Labor Day Weekend  Image via Wikipedia My sister-in-law is coming to visit this weekend and it will be her first trip to Key West. Naturally, I’ve been trying to plan some fun activities for the weekend. She is coming with my mother-in-law, who has been here before, so I am coming up with things we can do that both will enjoy. Continue reading The First Time  Image via Wikipedia It is that time of year again… Divers dust off the old gear (which they have hopefully tested) and race out to the waters surrounding the Florida Keys (and into the mainland) to catch Florida spiny lobsters. Why is it a mini season? Well, these two days are for recreational divers to grab some crustaceans before the commercial lobster season begins on August 6. Continue reading Lobster Mini Season Image via Wikipedia After almost two years of writing this blog I have reviewed 57 restaurants in the Florida Keys, 44 of which are (or, in some cases, were) in Key West. During this time, I have revisited many of the places already reviewed. In most instances, the food and service have been consistent each time. In other cases, not so much. In a couple of rare cases, my opinion has completely changed. So, first the good news.

Boondocks is one of those places I always drive by, but don’t stop at because it is generally inconvenient to where I am going: Key West. Located at Mile Marker 27.5, it is generally further than I am willing to go when there is an event there, or I am in the neighborhood at the wrong times. Last week, a friend and I were driving by at lunchtime and decided to stop in.
Fin is the second restaurant opened in Key West by the team behind Blackfin Bistro on Duval Street. Fin’s menu is made up entirely of small “tasting” plates, yet the menu is broken up into Beginning, Middle an Fin, as if there were appetizers and entrees. Every morsel of food we had was spectacularly good. Sadly, there was a mere morsel on each plate.
