Yes, Latitudes is great! Half the fun is taking the boat ride over. We went for lunch, rather than dinner, to keep it a little more affordable. Also allowed us some time to enjoy the grounds there a bit. Have fun!

Thanks for all the great recommendations. We're back and got to eat at Sunset Pier, Hot Tin Roof, Latitudes, and Louie's (for lunch). We really enjoyed all of them. We had a $100 per day resort credit, so we ate at Sunset Pier for most of our casual meals. The views from Latitudes and Louie's were spectacular! We had a great trip!

Glad you had a great trip! Thanks for checking back in to let us know how it went. Now I want to go back to Key West!

Me too!

http://www.keywestirish.com/menu.htm half price vegetarian on Wed.
This is my local place to hang out and eat.
The Boat house and Alonzos are our happy hour place to go. Half price drinks and half price apps are the best.

Check out Faustos grocery for take out. Pat Croce has bought so many places in town and now they all taste the same.

I've read about Faustos and would like to try it next time. Also keep hearing good things about Azur and Flaming Buoy - will have to try those next trip too.

Feel free to keep adding your suggestions here. I know we'll be back!

Hey volcanogirl, take a look at your other hotel thread... I asked a question there. Thanks.

i know i'm a bit late to this topic but here we go anyway..

BEST RESTAURANT IN KEY WEST: Michaels. It's off the main tourist trail but this is the best. Absolutely fantastic food. Go for the seafood crepe, steak and the chocolate volcano desert.

2nd best restaurant in Key West: BLUE HEAVEN. The dinner menu might not be the best, and the menu might not have changed for years but this place is so different, so atmospheric, so unique you have to go. Breakfast is excellent time to go.

3rd: A & B Lobster House. The views from the outdoor terrace are amazing. And the food excellent as is the service. Not cheap.

4th: The Cafe, A Mostly Vegetarian Place. Certainly not just for veggies. Very cool place. Sit at the bar.

5th: La Trattoria. Best Italian on the island. Excellent wide choice including steaks. Go to Virgilios the in house martini bar before. These are the strongest martins in Florida!

6th: Sarabeth's. Sit outside under the stars. Varied menu and best service on the island from David Guest and his we'll run team.

I appreciate the new additions - better late than never, and I'm sure we can use some of them for our next trip, and hopefully they can help someone else too.

volcanogirl-I'm going to KW at the end of December and was so excited to have found your posts!

I'm so glad, Jul - hope you have a great time!
