Amigo’s Tortilla Bar | Review

Amigo’s Tortilla Bar is a fairly new restaurant located on Green Street, directly across the street from Captain Tony’s Saloon. I LOVE Mexican food so I was really excited to try this place. Amigo’s has a great location, a nice website, and a neat menu. The place is very small and seating is mostly bar style which is fine. You are not coming here for a fancy meal. We took up a few bar stools looking out at Captain Tony’s so we had a great view. The waitress came over and was friendly enough. She took our drink orders, and since I ordered the sangria she carded me. She then brought out water for us all and Cokes for those who ordered them. I asked her about the sangria then and she said it was coming. I never saw it so I cannot attest to the taste. But the Coke’s were good.

Seafood Wellington | Hideaway Cafe
Seafood Wellington | Hideaway Cafe

The Hideaway Cafe is located at the Rainbow Bend Resort on Grassy Key. It is seriously hidden away. Unless you knew it was there or you were staying at the resort you would never find it. The resort is an older, but it is right on the beach which is nice, and the view from the restaurant is great. We watched a kiteboarder all throughout dinner.

The Hideaway Cafe’s menu is interesting, mainly seafood with a french flare. All entrees come with a caesar salad, garlic bread, potato, and vegetables. Items include escargot, filet mignon, duck, and several other options. They also serve beer and wine, but no hard alcohol.

Michael’s | Review

1/1/20 UPDATE – Michael’s has been permanently closed. 

Michael’s Restaurant is fine dining Key West style, with indoor and outdoor seating available and a romantic atmosphere. I have reviewed Michael’s in the past but it has been quite awhile. And I am happy to report that not much has changed (that is definitely a good thing!). If I was made out of money I would eat here everyday. The food is superb; everything from the appetizers to the desserts were prepared perfectly and presentation was lovely.

Michael’s is best known for its steaks, but they also have a wonderful selection of delicious salads, hors devours, and local seafood. They are also the only place on the island that does fondue (although it is only available at the outdoor bar due to fire precautions).

The Importance of Using Sunscreen in Key West

Key West is a hot and sunny island, most of the time at least. I am usually inside at my computer working, so I don’t spend a lot of time outdoors.

On Memorial Day weekend I finally took a day off and joined my husband and some friends on a boating excursion. We took a few of our company boats offline for the day and headed to Boca Grande. We enjoyed the day by laying on the beach, running around with our dogs playing fetch, and swimming in the beautiful waters. It was a gorgeous day and we were all having a great time.
