Key West Sunset Watching
What are some recommendations for sunset watching in Key West restaurants? I'll be going in October when sunset is around 7:15 pm. So I'd either like to watch sunset in a restaurant with a good view of it, or eat early like 5:30 and then hang out at Mallory Square. Suggestions?

Because the actual sunset takes a while, I'd just check out the scene at Mallory Square and then go eat somewhere.
Keep in mind that a restaurant with good views of the sunset will also be a restaurant where the sun will be in your eyes for a considerable amount of time.

The Westin Hotel (formerly Hilton) and the Ocean Key Resort both flank Mallory Square, the home of the sunset celebration. The Westin has two restaurants: one is downstairs and is the more formal, and the other is upstairs overlooking the Gulf and the swimming pool. For sunset views, the upper restaurant would afford you a better view and a more casual menu.
The Ocean Key Resort has a great long pier (can't remember the name) that has sunset views and serves food and drink. They also have live music. Either of these places would be a fun place to watch the sunset.
I might add that the sunset "celebration" on Mallory Square is full of street entertainers and vendors and is something to do at least once.
