re: Lower Florida Keys Best Restaurants.

I was in Key West this past April. We had a great time and had some very good meals. Latitudes is a nice, upscale restaurant that you get to by boat. Beautiful place with delicious food. Need reservations well in advance. We had our anniversary dinner there at an outdoor table next to the water. Louie's Backyard was Jimmy Buffet's favorite restaurant when he used to live next door on Waddell Avenue. It was our favorite too. Blue Heaven is a fun and lively place. Very popular. Seaside Cafe at the Southernmost Point was good. Santiago's Bodega is a Spanish tapas bar with delicious food. This was the only dinner we ate indoors. For rest of them we sat outside, either on the patio or by the water.

All great recommendations. Lattitudes is definitely a great experience.
915 and Louie’s backyard are great and has better food. Louies is my favorite day drinking spot and cocktails any time of day at the afterdeck bar is a very under the radar treat.
Blue Heaven has a great vibe. Breakfast has a long wait unless you get there early. Chilling at the outside bar is always fun. Lucy and Brittanie have been the two outside bartenders every Sunday morning for the last 3 years. Dinner at Blue Heaven is also very under the radar and while it doesn’t feel upscale it’s as good as any dinner I’ve had in KW. Lot less of a wait as well. They take some reservations for dinner, but they book less than 25% of their space in advance.
I’m not a fan of anything cuban in KW other than a Cuban sandwich from cuban coffee queen.
