Nine One Five Duval, Key West, FL

 On our last night in Key West, we had dinner at Nine One Five Duval. When we arrived, we grabbed drinks at Point5, their upstairs bar, and we liked our balcony table so much, we asked if we could just hunker down and have dinner there. They were generous and obliged our request.
We started with a nice appetizer plate of dolmas, yogurt, feta cheese, and pea hummus.

I had a beet salad with herbed goat cheese, mixed greens, and walnuts, and for my entree, I had the Sizzling Thai Whole Fish which consisted of a locally caught yellow tail snapper, deep fried, with a Thai chili ginger garlic sauce and basmati rice. It was really good. Kathy ordered the Veggie thin crust pizza from the lounge menu. It consisted of portabella mushrooms, caramelize onion, roasted red pepper, and thyme.

For dessert, we opted to grab a third slice of Key Lime pie at a location of the Key West Key Lime Pie Company. Their version was a lot creamier in texture than others we had tried during our trip.

Kermit's Key West Lime Shoppe, Key West, FL

My favorite Key Lime pie on the trip to Key West was at Kermit's Key West Lime Shoppe.

When we arrived, Kermit himself was at the door greeting everyone. His version of the pie just had the right texture and flavors of sweet and tart. Also the crust was delicious.

Sloppy Joe's Bar, Key West, FL

Our first dinner in Key West was pretty low key. We went to the famous Sloppy Joe's Bar, known for being frequented by Ernest Hemingway. I had their Sloppy Joe. While I don't think it was invented there, their iteration of this school cafeteria classic was mighty delicious. The sauce was tangy and spiced very well.
