I saw the menu – “Home of the square taco” – and have to admit I was intrigued. I am in constant need for a good taco joint, preferable one that has amazing food and is cheap. They are hard to come by in Florida. When Amigos opened, I was […]

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 […]
Located across the street from the Hemingway House, where there are actual six-toed cats, is Six Toed Cat, the restaurant. I went there for lunch on a recent Saturday afternoon. The interior is a little sparse, but the tables are shaped like paws – with six toes, naturally. Otherwise there […]
It was a picture perfect day, so I thought taking my parents out to Sunset Key for lunch would be a fabulous idea. I was wrong. It started easily enough: reservation made online at Open Table, boat tickets picked up at the Westin concierge, and a lovely seven minute ride […]
