We have been to Banana Cafe exactly once before. We’ve ordered lunch delivery a few times, but have never been there for dinner. Everything that we have had, with the exception of the cheese crepe on our first visit, has been very good, so we decided to give it a […]

I’d been to Tavern N’ Town exactly once, for Mother’s Day brunch over five years ago. It was good then, but we had never made it back, largely because we have to drive to get there. On the other hand, I am always delighted when we make plans with friends […]
Two days before our arrival in St. Pete, I contacted some friends that live in the Tampa Bay area (not actually close to where we were, but whatever…) Imagine my delight when I found out they were free for dinner our first night in town. They drove in to meet us […]
A couple of weeks ago, we stopped at Burdines Waterfront ChikiTiki Bar for lunch, en route to Key West. It is a little challenging to find, and you need to really pay attention to where you are turning, or you will miss it. Once you’ve made it off the Overseas […]
Once again I found myself in San Juan, with no plan except to indulge in a giant plate of mofongo. The quintessential Puerto Rican dish is made from frying green plantains, then mashing them and frying them again. It is all topped with either chicken, steak, fish or, in the case […]

Last week, I told you about many of the Key West summer specials going on around town. I can now report on several. It started Labor Day weekend, we had friends in town and planned on dinner at Azur (even before I knew it was 50% off). Though they had […]
I love a bargain. Who doesn’t? Key West is home to many fantastic happy hour deals, and Martin’s is a standout. The thing about happy hour is that it is often hard to get to. Between working, dog walking, and other commitments, late afternoon is not usually when we are […]
It is no secret that I absolutely love Azur. The food is spectacular, the service is always spot on and the ambiance is inviting. From the brunch mimosas and Benedicts, to the gnocchi at dinner, there is not a bad choice on the menu. Summer specials make it all that much […]
When I learned The Strip House, in The Reach Resort, was closing, I was disappointed, but not surprised. On each visit, the expansive dining room was mostly empty, except for the nude women decorating the walls. Even they looked bored.
