Reviews for Louie's Backyard in Key West, FL

Excellent fine dining experience even though people did dress somewhat casual - which is no big deal for Key West. Great food,... great service, great views (sits on the water), and great atmosphere (kind of like old Key West style I think - just guessing).I had the fresh catch of the day which was triple tail and my wife had the tuna. They also have steak options for non-seafoodpeople. Must do if your budget can handle it. Read more

Best view at a restaurant in Key West. The food is just as great as the view. I recommend eating upstairs. Jose is the best. He... took such great care of us. I recommend all the salads, the tuna, and the lobster risotto. Read more

I arrived as a solo diner right at opening, and even though the restaurant was empty - because I didn't have a reservation they... told me to go upstairs to the "cafe" where it was first come first served, but had a different menu. I did, and it worked outwonderfully. I don't remember my waitress' name except that other servers called her Blondie. She was so great and fun and Iended up getting the grouper which was the special and it was OUTSTANDING. The best meal I had in Key West. Everyone was sonice, the food was great, and the key lime martini was a truly marvelous way to end the evening. Read more

My husband and I ate here for lunch and we LOVED it! The food was impeccable and we wish we could have ordered the entire menu.... On top of the food being delicious, the view made the experience even better! We will definitely be returning to Louie?sBackyard on our next trip to Key West! Read more

Beautiful location. My husband and I went for dinner. We made a reservation 3 weeks in advance which wasn?t soon enough if you... want to be there for the sunset. Our reservation was at 7pm and we could see the property for a few minutes before the lastlight was gone. The food was delicious. We had the shrimp and grits and the catch of the day. The flavors in both dishes werephenomenal. Service was great and the cocktails strong. Read more

Perfect restaurant by the water!!! The owner (I think he?s the owner) is an amazing fella! We got there very hungry, we were... seated in the next 10 mins with our dog on the back patio with ocean as our view. What we ordered: 1. Fish tacos for me - theywere cold and not enough chipotle sauce but I was hungry so didn?t bother. 2. Lemon chicken with Thai rice - husband loved it!!Temperature and flavors were all amazing! 3. Lemonade - we both got fresh non-boozy lemonades - so good!!!!! 4. Dessert - limecheesecake with blueberries - husband loved it, me not so much because of the texture of the cheesecake. Would love to visitthe place again if we come back! Read more

OMG what a special dinner. We had the "best seat in the restaurant" based on what we could see with the BEST server. Her help... and attention was integral to the overall success of our experience. Each dish was beautiful. Our meals delicious. How cananyone go to Key West and not eat at Louie's Backyard? I look forward to my next visit. Read more
