Azur Restaurant: Creative Mediterranean Food
May 17, 2012 By
Impeccable service, a sublime menu and an elegant, modern ambiance place Azur Restaurant high on the list of favorite dining spots in Key West. The focus is creative Mediterranean, with new twists on old favorites inspired by the chef's wide culinary expertise. Start off with the artichoke, roasted pepper and manchego appetizer, or the charred octopus marinated in garlic and lemon zest. Entrees include homemade gnocchi stuffed with a variety of tantalizing goodies, including wild mushrooms, asparagus, and parmesan. Maybe you'd prefer grilled whole sea bass, New York Strip, or Moroccan braised lamb? Chances are you'll enjoy whatever you order.

Seven Fish: Seafood Galore
April 19, 2012 By
If freshly grilled yellowtail snapper with coconut curry, crab cakes, shrimp scampi, and seafood gnocchi set your taste buds tingling with anticipation, head directly to Seven Fish. Those are just some of the offerings at this sweet, intimate little bistro located off the beaten tourist path in a residential neighborhood in Key West. While the focus is uber-fresh yellowtail snapper, grouper, and mahi-mahi — the menu features three fresh fish specials daily — Seven Fish also has steak, meatloaf, and chicken for those who prefer their food without fins. Whatever entree you pick, make sure you save room for the to-die-for strawberry whipped cream pie.
