Shor is located at the Hyatt Resort at 601 Front Street in Key West. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week. After hearing my friend rave about this place, we decided to try it out for dinner the other night. The nice thing about eating at hotel restaurant is that there is usually parking available and there is typically no wait time when other area restaurants are booked up. But we did make reservations just in case.

We used the valet which was nice. Then we walked through the property grounds to the restaurant. Along the way we met a guy with a marmoset wearing a diaper which was pretty interesting start to our evening I am not sure if he was staying at the hotel or if he was a local.) The grounds were very pretty and they had live turtles everywhere which was very cool. Obviously the property has a turtle motif going on here.

The decor is elegant with huge framed mirrors, large windows, and beautiful molding. This all helps with the illusion that the dining area is larger than it is. The tables are fairly close together. Luckily, we were seated next to a very friendly and interesting German couple and we had a nice conversation throughout dinner. It is slightly noisy in the restaurant, but not obnoxiously so; there is foam glued underneath the tables to help combat the noise level. There were a few older gentlemen sitting at the bar that were quite loud, but it quieted down loads after they left.
