 If you have been reading for a while, you know that one of my absolute favorite restaurants, if not THE favorite, is Azur. Why? The food is great, the service is warm and friendly and the atmosphere is inviting. Everyone we have taken there has loved it. (That is quite a few people considering that we had company for about 95% of the weekends through May).
Michael and Drew, the owners, do a great job with everything, especially the gnocchi. You can get it four different ways in either a half or full portion. Continue reading A Great Bargain: Why I Love the Summer

On Marina Day, before the water sports began, Chef Andre did a cooking demo for a group of 16 people. He made lobster risotto, and I learned a few things about cooking the finicky rice dish, and he made a fois gras creme brulee. Who knew creme brulee could be made as a savory appetizer?

You read about the fishing adventures last week. Well, after catching an abundance of little yellowtail snapper, we had a couple of really good dinners.
Here is a photo of the little guys after they have been stuffed with fresh oregano, thyme, sage, garlic and lemon and roasted at 425° for about 35 minutes. They were tender, . . . → Read More: Aftermath

Wahoo’s at the Whale Harbor in Islamorada was the lunch spot yesterday. After picking friends up at the Fort Lauderdale airport, we headed south for the beautiful drive to Key West. Mrs Mac’s was a little early in the drive and Keys Fisheries a little too late, as we were hungry, so we went to the . . . → Read More: Whale of a Good Time

Driving by the Barracuda Grill, it looks like every other restaurant in the Florida Keys: low key and fairly nondescript. Inside is a whole different ball game. It is charming, adorable and, as an added bonus, has great food.
At first glance, the menu pricing seems a bit odd. Entrees are between $16 for fried shrimp to . . . → Read More: Barracuda

“World Famous Super Fish Sandwich”. Sounds pretty good, no? After continuously driving by a billboard making this claim, and commenting on it several times, I decided to give it a try. If it is world famous, it must be so for a reason. I stopped into Craig’s Restaurant at Mile Marker 90 for lunch, by myself. . . . → Read More: Hyperbole

At the entrance to the seven mile bridge (or exit, depending on which direction you are traveling), in Marathon, is the 7 Mile Grill. This little hole-in-the-wall was recommended to a friend of mine for their conch fritters and beer. I explained to Friend that there is no shortage of beer anywhere in the Keys. . . . → Read More: On The Edge

I will start by saying that I really like this place. The Flaming Buoy Filet Co. is located at 1100 Packer Street, at the corner of Virginia. This is the former digs of Ambrosia, and some other places in between. Although only open since mid-November 2009, The Flaming Buoy (next time I go I will try . . . → Read More: The Flaming Buoy

Comfort food means many things to many people. In the food world most people would think of a big bowl of chicken soup or a plate of macaroni and cheese. Surprisingly, Mexican food is also something I would classify as comfort food. A nice toasty tortilla filled with cheese and some spicy salsa – there . . . → Read More: Ole!

As you know by now, the people of Key West get rather excited about a lot of things. Take, for example, the Christmas parade, just a month after the Fantasy Fest parade. You may recall the Grinch sitting next to me. Maybe he was still hung over from Fantasy Fest. Granted the two parades don’t have . . . → Read More: See Food
