    Enjoyed a nice quiet Tuesday evening dinner. We were greeted right away by the friendly staff. Started our meal with the crispy pork belly crostini and a shared Cesar salad. Both were excellent. I had the yellowtail snapper which was nicely prepared and quite tasty! Finished the meal with Key Lime pie. Will definitely visit again the next time I am in Key West.
