Somehow, we had never made it to Sunday Brunch at The Westin before this past weekend. How is that possible? I have no idea. I am, generally, a creature of habit and have had many brunches of late at Hot Tin Roof, 2 Cents, Azur and Blackfin. But we needed […]

For several years people have been telling me how good The Square Grouper is, but I have yet to make it there. Why? Well, generally speaking, once I am in Key West I see no good reason to drive another 22 miles north for a meal. I would stop on […]
Island Dogs is one of the five Pat Croce-owned Key West restaurants, offering simple food and live music. The music is generally in the evenings, so when I was there recently for lunch with a friend, it was pretty quiet. It is a bar atmosphere, as the center bar […]
In a shack greatly resembling a camp bunk (note: the camp bunks of my youth, not the fancy ones of today with air conditioners and clothes dryers…) , complete with fold down windows, in the midst of Key Lime Square, stands Lobo’s Mixed Grill. It has been taken over by […]
Several months ago, Firefly opened in the Bahama Village area of Key West, in a space formerly owned by Colombian Grace. The space is huge, with a second floor balcony overlooking Petronia Street, and is minimalist and lovely. It has taken me a while to get there because, frankly, the […]

Over the weekend we had lunch plans with some friends. After the inevitable back and forth discussing where we should go, we settled on Santiago’s Bodega. It had never occurred to me to go there for lunch, as we usually find ourselves there for dinner. The menu is the same, […]
Everyone I know goes on and on and on about the great Shake Shack. In fact, Shake Shack (the original one) is where my cousin ended her thirteen years of vegetarianism. So last week, after furniture moving and medical supply stores galore, my friend and I ventured over to the […]
Hot Tin Roof, the restaurant in the Ocean Key Resort, started serving Sunday Brunch a couple months ago. We were early adapters and wanted to try it out. After all, a Bloody Mary Bar, unlimited mimosas and food for $39/person – what’s not to like? They were slammed instantly and […]
It seems like it is all about wine these days on the blog, and that is a good thing. I received an email a couple of weeks ago, and after a quick scan (and seeing the words “Chiarlo“, “Barolo” and “Lunch” all in the same paragraph), I decided to read […]
