We were seated right away and received ice water which we were grateful for since it was so warm out. Good size bar and lots of drink specials posted outside. The host seemed absent minded or intoxicated because we had to ask for menus then he forgot to bring them over. Our waiter was also the bartender and gave good recommendations for small plates, breakfast and lunch. One in my party got eggs Benedict, another got a burger and fries and I got a small plate of tuna and avocado. Mine came with mixed green and I asked for arugula to along with that which the kitchen easily accommodated. The tuna was really fresh, with half of an avocado and miso dressing. It was delicious. Everyone at the table enjoyed the meal. The absentminded host got his act together and was great about refills. Our waiter split our checks as requested. If you pay cash you save 3% on your bill which he pointed out to us. Nice little random find in Key West.

Came over to Caroline's because it was one of the less crowded spots but still located right there amidst the action. It's all outdoors and wooden boardwalk type tables, although the fans helped keep it somewhat cooler and less humid. A natural vibe for the geographical region though. We were able to get seated right away, however the service was a bit slow and we noticed people around us who were seated after us getting their food well before us. It finally did come and it was solid. Nothing to write home about but a solid option on the strip for some food and drinks. Wouldn't say I'd go seek it out, but if you're looking around and need decent prices and food and can't decide or everywhere is packed, you'll be safe with it.

(Note: review based solely on our take out dessert the men of our group brought back for us to…read moresample for critique) Back story. The quest for the best key lime pie in Key West began over dinner on Monday night, when I mentioned wanting to check out Kermit's on my friend Jen's recommendation, lamenting that I never got to enjoy a truly good key lime pie during my first and last visit in 2020. The one I had then was... not good. (I now know the dead giveaway is that it was green). What followed has become a pursuit of principle: truly a noble quest I can get behind. Fast-forward 3 days, and here's our verdict so far, with one contender still to come. Tomorrow night we're headed to Red Shoe Island Bistro for dinner at the insistence of a local who claims it blows Kermit's cheesecake out of the water: 1. Kermit's - The benchmark. Bright, tart, light, and perfectly balanced. 2. Hurricane Hole - Good, but missing the extra punch of tartness that puts Kermit's over the top. 3. El Siboney - Solid, but denser and more cheesecake-like, but also lacking the light, airy tartness of Kermit's. 4. Key Lime Pie Bakery - Forgettable in a town where memorable matters. 5. Matt's Stock Island Kitchen - Overly sweet with virtually no lime (or even lemon) presence. Our slice came boxed with whipped cream and... cherry sauce?! If you'd called it birthday cake, I'd have found that a more accurate description. Might as well call it Diabetes On a Plate. The boys did say this place is located in a beautiful hotel with great view. So there's that. Tomorrow morning, a plan was proposed (that I seconded): we'll stop by Kermit's to grab two slices to go and stash them in the fridge, specifically to revisit after dinner at Red Shoe Bistro as a point of reference. If Red Shoe's pie ends up being too close to call, we'll have no choice but to bring a slice home and do a true, side-by-side comparison in real time. And in the interest of not ending the trip on a sour note if tomorrow night disappoints, at least we'll be leaving Key West on Friday morning with Kermit's key lime pie as our final bite.

So i definitely recommend the breakfast with unbeatable views. As for dinner, I'd say try a different place. Service was always professional and friendly and also quite prompt but not rushed.

While waiting to order, I was able to browse the menu and decided on the shrimp and crab wrap with fries. The cashier answered all of my questions about the wrap, which made me feel confident in my choice. The wait wasn't long, especially since everything is made fresh. The fries came out hot and definitely needed a minute to cool down, and the wrap was warm on the outside while the inside stayed cool and fresh. Everything was tasty, and the pickle was a nice touch to round out the meal. Fisherman's is a small restaurant with limited seating, but there are several benches across the walkway where you can sit and enjoy your food while watching the boats and people nearby. A great, laid-back spot with a nice view.

Not the best fritters I've tried in the Keys, but I'm giving this place 4 out of 5 Stars simply because it was packed and I guess it wouldn't be so good if it wasn't packed.
