My husband and I ventured as much as Massive Pine Key the opposite evening to satisfy some pals for dinner on the newish Forks and Stix restaurant. It’s a few thirty to forty-five minute drive from Key West. This household run institution has an eclectic menu of meals from burgers to sushi. Paired with a hodgepodge of decor, the place is actually attention-grabbing.
Our pals have been already seated once we arrived. A lot of the tables are tiny two seaters; this appeared to be the one bigger desk within the restaurant. There may be additionally a big bar, however they don’t serve any alcohol, not less than not but. They’re nonetheless engaged on getting their liquor license. So, for now you possibly can BYOB. Or, simply get pleasure from waters, sodas or home made lemonade that they serve.
The Meals
To begin, we ordered a few appetizers; smoked fish dip and deep fried pierogis. Each have been scrumptious. The fish dip was served with the standard crackers and it was actually tasty; one of many higher ones I’ve had out to eat in latest days. And, what’s to not like about pillows of potatoes brushed with garlic butter?
As for dinner, I went with the spicy tuna roll. I preferred that they requested me what stage of hotness I would really like the roll. I went for a 3 out of 5 on hotness and it was prefect. The extra I ate the warmer it bought, however by no means so scorching as to not be capable to style the meals. The tuna was contemporary and the roll was superbly offered. I beloved the pickled ginger that got here with it as properly. Sadly, they didn’t have a ginger salad which I might have beloved to go along with my roll.
Subsequent, my husband bought a tuna roll with no spice and it too was offered properly and scrumptious. Nonetheless, the seaweed salad was marinated in one thing that tasted like a mixture of citrus and cleaning soap which we weren’t a fan of. He additionally ordered a BBQ bacon burger which was served with a pasta salad which he mentioned was an excellent burger.
And, our pals ordered the Poke bowl which seemed contemporary and superb and a pair Piner sushi rolls that are at all times totally different and at all times a shock to whomever is ordering them. I don’t prefer to be stunned as a result of I’m very choosy in relation to sushi, however I do know this appeals to lots of people. John beloved his creation and cleaned his plate.
For dessert we bought a bit of lemon blueberry cake and a slice of peanut butter pie. I completely love lemon cake, however this didn’t even remotely style lemony, so I wasn’t actually pleased with my choice. The peanut butter pie was like consuming an enormous Reeces peanut butter cup and I assumed that was scrumptious.
Extra In regards to the Expertise
Surprisingly, that we have been the one desk taken for more often than not we have been there on a Friday night. However, since there was just one particular person serving, I used to be joyful for that. Nonetheless, I’m not certain what which means for his or her future. The 4 of us break up the invoice two methods, and it got here out to about $100 per couple. I assumed it was fairly costly, particularly for no alcohol and being in Massive Pine, however these days every little thing in every single place is priced out of sight, so I wasn’t actually shocked. I might undoubtedly come again right here for the spicy tuna roll.
