As we are back in Key West til the end of the year, one of the many questions we are asked is where do we like to eat? While there are literally hundreds of restaurants here on the island, I will only list the ones we actually have eaten at, and our own rating system. Its in two parts, the first the quality for your dollar ?, and the quality of its happy hour ? if they offer it. This is a work in progress, so keep checking back.
