Ate here for breakfast on our last day in the keys. The hotel recommended this after I couldn’t find my usually place )

Def a divey little breakfast place which I love. The regular menu was very basic, but then the super duper waiter recommended the special……crab, Swiss, and veggie omelet with a side of almond bread. Was superb!!

Service & atmosphere were also great. The only downside is that they wouldn’t make the omelet with egg whites…there goes my cholesterol.

With the special in mind I give this breakfast place 3 cookies.

We stopped here for lunch after a good morning of Snorkeling. A local recommended it. Good pricing for good local seafood. Food was great. We shared some apps. Oysters cooked a few different ways…tomato/mozzarella salad with sun dried tomato vinaigrette. We sat outside and watched the fishing boats feed all the tarpon with their scraps. Alonzo’s also happens to bet he same owners as A&B Lobster house.

I give it 2.5 cookies.

A&B Lobster House

I started off with a salt & pepper martini (Absolute Peppar with a S&P rimmed glass). I think a nice upgrade would have been Kosher Salt and fresh ground pepper instead of the cheapo S&P shaker stuff. Would have made it more flavorfull.

Was a good thing we are trying to stay away from carbs, cause the bread sucked!

I started off with an oyster soup. Was pretty flavorful excpet the oysters were like fancy chewing gum.

The main course was awesome! Grouper crusted with a crab cake. Quality of fish was great!! Wish I could have finished it. Didn’t even have room for desert(soup was very filling)

2.75 cookies for me
