The Utah wine crowd is a fun one. I know, you wouldn’t think it, but it is true. We get together for some sort of wine dinner every time we are in town, which is sadly limited to once a year. This year’s festivities took place upstairs in a private […]

People in other climates dream of sitting in a waterside restaurant, pulling up on their boat and enjoying a simple meal. In the Florida Keys, this is part of life. Open air restaurants, with water views and friendly service are virtually everywhere here – that is how it goes when […]
I had never been to Bagatelle restaurant in all of the time I have spent in Key West. As I recently got the Restaurant Card, with a two-for-one entree I decided to give it a shot. Overall, there were many positives and a few negatives to the dining experience.
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 […]

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 […]
