There are very few restaurants here that conjure up the image of fine dining, professional service and great food all at once. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of good places here – those with great food, wonderful atmosphere and more, but the Marquesa is special. We went to […]

OK, as promised, I have the remainder of the Top 10 Must-Dos while in Key West for only a day. By now you should be full of pie, hot sauce, and beer, you’re feet are resting happily in your Kinos and you are wondering what’s next on the agenda? Glad […]
People in Key West have a love-hate relationship with cruise ships. Those that love the mega-liners coming in for the day generally own a shop on Duval Street or a restaurant close by. Those that hate it are the people that like to walk down the street without encountering an […]
Last month, I wrote about Key Lime Pie from both Blond Giraffe and Kermit‘s. As you may recall, I am in the Kermit’s-is-clearly-better camp. Read the original post, and what others had to say about it here. I did leave off one very popular place in that review, the Key […]

Key West has just about every type of food you could want, except Indian. Although I would love for someone to open an Indian restaurant, I’m not quite sure how grouper vindaloo would go over here. But, I digress. This weekend, I went to Goldman’s Deli in the Winn Dixie […]
Key West is a funny place. If you’ve been here once you know that. We have an extremely liberal population, a huge gay population and a “come as you are” attitude. Then there is “Sign Guy” who holds up a sign with his opinion about what his god thinks of […]
The food is much better than it looks in these less than stellar cell phone photos. La Trattoria, at 524 Duval, is a delightful oasis in the middle of the action. However, in my opinion, they have committed a truly heinous sin: no vintages on the wine list. When you […]
