Key West restaurants
 

Here I am again! If you had to choose between Bagatelle, Nine One Five, A&B Lobster House, and Louie's Backyard Upper Deck (liked the idea of tapas type offerings - not as taken with the non-Upper Deck menu) - what would you choose?

Though the Bagatelle is great for people-watching, it's food isn't always reliable, so I'd scratch that one off the list. We love Louie's for lunch and haven't been upstairs but I know lots of people - especially locals - who rave about it. Haven't been to Nine One Five as they don't have my husband's favorite evening beverage - scotch. Our experiences with A&B haven't always been great, but I think we're in the minority on that. Still think I'd opt for the upstairs at Louie's.

Thanks so much!

You're very welcome. And while I'm at it, since you're a fan of tapas, have you tried Santiago's Bodega? It's really wonderful! If you want to try it on a weekend, make reservations.

Yes - we went there on our first trip to Key West last February. It was wonderful and I was VERY tempted to go again, but DH and I both felt we ought to try a new place.

In fact, I think you were the one who suggested Santiago's for our first trip!

Just curious if anyone has been to Key West during Poker Run - is it loud and crazy then and hard to get into restaurants?

I haven't been there during Poker Run, but if you don't get a response here, try tripadvisor. Some of their DEs are Key West locals.

Have you ever been to the Square Grouper in Cudjoe Key? It is an awesome restaurant!

Thanks, Susan!

We're flying down and not renting a car, so we can only consider restaurants within walking or cab distance. Walking is preferable if we don't melt!
