OnlyWood

David Dlugitch — Fri, 20 Oct 2017 16:19:57 +0000

For a taste of outstanding Key West pizza and casual Italian cuisine, you’ll first have to find the little alley off Duval Street

Alley off Duval Street where OnlyWood is located

Believe it or not, there was a time, albeit long ago, when it was nearly impossible to find a great Key West version of three of life’s most important things: pizza, bagels, and live music. Fortunately, great pizza and great music are abundant on the island (alas, you can still only get a “good” bagel). In the top tier of Key West pizza would have to be OnlyWood.

Tucked away on a hidden lane off Duval Street, this quaint and casual indoor/outdoor restaurant serves authentic Neapolitan pizza, cooked in an immense wood-fired brick oven imported from Italy, along with the highest quality Italian ingredients. House-made mozzarella cheese, a 1000-degree oven, and imported ingredients combine to make a thin-crusted, crunchy, delicious pie.

The high quality continues throughout the menu, with pasta, appetizers, and main courses that will have you convinced you are in Italy. As a result, OnlyWood is on the “Our Favorites” list of Key West Travel Guide.

Thirsty Mermaid

David Dlugitch — Thu, 19 Oct 2017 14:32:15 +0000

Boutique restaurant off Duval Street serving fresh Key West seafood with inventive recipes appealing to the modern “foodie” palate

Thirsty Mermaid is a relatively new addition to Key West’s food scene, and it is a welcomed addition. One could argue that there is a new wave of Key West chefs and restaurateurs in the island re-inventing and expanding Key West cuisine. Thirsty Mermaid is definitely a member of the new renaissance.

Located one block off Duval Street, the small restaurant will make you feel like you’ve discovered a hidden gem.

The decor is modern, graphic, and inviting, and the menu is a nicely curated selection of fresh seafood, local flavor, and a “foodie” sensibility.

Both times we visited we were more than impressed at the quality of the dishes and ingredients. Bountiful salads, a near-perfect snapper fish sandwich, and mouth-watering appetizers had the table nodding in agreement that Thirsty Mermaid deserves a place in the “Our Favorites” section of Key West Travel Guide.

The Salty Angler

David Dlugitch — Wed, 18 Oct 2017 14:32:20 +0000

Casual restaurant & bar serving outstanding bbq, fresh fish, tasty sandwiches and burgers. Live music & friendly bar – popular with locals in Key West.

Located on the upper end of Duval Street, the Salty Angler has recently celebrated its two-year anniversary. Congratulations!

The kind and friendly chef/owners make an extra-effort so that delicious, satisfying dishes come out of the kitchen.

This newer restaurant and bar has quickly found a very dedicated local following thanks to a flavorful menu of smoked bar-b-que, fresh fish sandwiches, entrees, and a creative menu of burgers and sandwiches. Popular items include their original “Thunder Thighs”, a hickory-smoked preparation of chicken thighs, the sliced brisket – particularly good as a sandwich or taco, and their pulled pork. Fish items on the menu are the freshest available and all come from locally caught fish.

And if you have been out fishing in Key West, the kitchen offers to “cook your catch.” Bring the cleaned fish you caught and The Salty Angler will cook it for you, grilled or blackened, for $11 per pound.

The bar itself is a friendly, laid-back atmosphere, with live music often performed, including regular shows by Key West’s most talented Grateful Dead jam band, The Happy Dog (usually Thursday nights and not to be missed).

If you are looking to have an authentic Key West experience, pop in here and see what the locals are loving.

Free delivery is available.
