Sq. Grouper Key West – The Key Wester

-


Sq. Grouper Key West is lastly open, so my husband and I needed to strive it out for lunch the opposite day whereas we had been operating errands on the town. Situated on Caroline Road within the constructing that was previously residence to PT’s Late Night time and extra lately, Off the Hook, proprietor Lynn Bell has fully reworked the house. The inside is now mild and vivid and trendy and clear.

The Expertise

We didn’t order any appetizers, however we determined to order considered one of their specialty cocktails. We went with the El Papa which was Papa’s Pilar rum with banana liquor over ice and garnished with banana chips. Whereas neither considered one of us are huge drinkers, we each actually loved this drink. First, we love Papa’s Pilar! However the slight sweetness introduced in my the banana liquor made the cocktail refreshing with out being cloying. Defiantly shall be wording that once more!

For my entree, I went with the cashew salad with blackened shrimp. The salad was priced at $13 and shrimp had been an additional $8. This can be a salad that I’ve had many occasions on the Cudjoe location, and it was simply pretty much as good right here. The sunshine dressing melds completely with the contemporary greens, the sharp gorgonzola, and the crunchy cashews. And the shrimp had been ready completely with simply sufficient seasoning on them to boost the shrimp and never overpower them.

Steven went with the Sq. Grouper sandwich, which is a grouper fillet topped home made fried shoestring onions and served on a bun. Whereas the flavour was actually scrumptious, the grouper filet was tiny and the hubby was left nonetheless hungry on the finish of the meal. The sandwich is market value, and immediately that was $22. Whereas Steven actually loved his sandwich, I don’t assume he would get it once more as a result of for the fee versus his starvation afterwards, it was not price it.

I needed to strive dessert after I heard that the bread pudding of the day with banana bread chocolate chip. See a band theme occurring right here, haha! I’m glad that we went with that as a result of it was wonderful. Topped with a small scoop of ice cream and whipped cream, all this melded along with a buttery creaminess. So scrumptious!

When to Go

Wish to know when to go to the Sq. Grouper Key West? Properly, they’re open Thursday by Monday from 11am till 2:30pm for lunch and from 5pm till 10pm for dinner. That closure between meals permits for the workers to verify the restaurant is clear and maintain any vital worker conferences. I really like that they’re open on Mondays as that’s the standard closure day for a number of eating places. So, having this as an choice is nice!

Sq. Grouper doesn’t take reservations, and with the recognition of the opposite areas, it will get busy right here too. Fortunately, we solely needed to wait a minute or two for a desk. However getting right here early is at all times a good suggestion!

On a service observe. From our waitress to the bartenders to the bussing workers to the meals runners, everybody was targeted and pleasant and informative. Not many Keys eating places have such skilled employees. And it was very nice to see and expertise right here. And this was all executed with out giving off a stuffy feeling like some institutions can.
