First trip? How long will you be there? Any particular types of food or places you are looking for?

Ocean Key is great, was there for the fourth of July. Try Onlywood Trattoria Pizzeria.

Yes first trip. First wedding anniversary and will be there for 3 nights. Was supposed to be going to Malta and Corfu but Covid. We just like fresh seafood, boat tours, cool places for drinks, etc. Have a nighttime kayak tour scheduled so hopefully it’s not a total letdown..

In addition to the responses here, would suggest you search this board, there's a ton of threads with good info.

Check out Danger Charters if you want to do some sort of boat tour, they have some different options and do a great job. Louie’s Backyard is great for lunch or dinner and is right on the water. Lattitude’s on Sunset Key is kind of fun to do once, they ferry you over. The food is solid and you can’t beat the view. We like Half She’ll on the seaport for something more casual. They have a great raw bar. Schooner Wharf is a fun place for drinks, but be warned it is extremely “divey.” We were just the a few weeks back. Restaurants and bars (bars are technically closed but a lot are operating as “restaurants”) have to close at 11, and some spots haven’t reopened but it was still a great time. It’s quieter and less crowded than usual so it was nice.

ETA: Skip Mallory Square’s sunset festival, it’s pretty dead right now anyway. We like having drinks at Sunset Pier to watch the sunset. It’s pretty trusty but the view is phenomenal.

Santiago's Bodega is a tapas place a few blocks off of Duval in Bahama Village. Cool vibe and food is good.

Lattitudes but you may be too late as reservations are usually booked up far in advance.

book a sunset cruise with Sebago on their catamaran....its a cool way to see the sunset if weather is expected to be good. Choose the trip with booze and food.....it's a little more expensive but less crowded than the other options.

Enjoy

ETA....Also make sure to rent a bike. Things can be pretty spread out, but having a bike will definitely allow you to see many other areas of the town. I've been many times and last August the wife (no pics) convinced me to go to the Hemingway House....I was never a fan, but it was a very interesting tour.

That’s true about Latitudes for dinner, but may be able to grab some reservations for lunch one day still.

I HIGHLY recommend you try Lola for dinner one night. Hands down one of the best atmospheres and dining experiences of my life. It's BYOB so make a stop at a liquor store to grab wine before hand, but I promise you will not be disappointed.

Also, call ahead and make a reservation. It's a small romantic restaurant with only 10 or so tables.


I was there a few weeks ago, lots of bars on Duval are still closed but lots of fun still to be had.

Get reservations at Hot Tin Roof just before sundown. The views of the sunset from the outdoor dining area are amazing.
