A fresh and updated take on classic American cooking, this James Beard award winner serves fluffy omelets, pancakes from scratch, salads, sandwiches, meatloaf, and grilled meats and fish. Most of their products are organic, the meat is local, and they don’t use frozen foods. Try the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, or Local Key West shrimp. On Sundays they have old-fashioned fried chicken that is some of the most delicious chicken you’ll ever have.
With 2 James Beard Foundation invitations, the food is simple fare prepared properly. No fuss just great food with an international wine list to back it up. Guests rave about their watermelon salad, roasted chicken, lobster ravioli and be sure to top it off with their version of key lime pie (more like a tart). They're open 7 days a week 5pm-11pm.
Blue Heaven is al fresco dining, Key West style: canopies of tropical foliage, improvised art and a sail strung between trees providing shade. Favorites include blueberry pancakes, carrot and curry soup, miso-marinated eggplant salad, or scallops provençale. Also, caribbean shrimp deglazed with red stripe, jamaican jerk chicken or pan-sautéed yellowtail with citrus beurre blanc.
A highly original menu of dishes ranging from fresh, locally caught seafood to ribs. Their menu includes vegetarian and vegan options that were praised in The New York Times. It is one part retro supper club, one part sassy corner bistro, and part highly personal whim.
Blackfin Bistro offers a thoughtfully selected range of wines by the glass and bottle, imported and domestic beers, and classic bistro cuisine and local seafood. Ready for a spectacular lunch? Get the mini lobster rolls, beet salad and tuna tartare.
