This is a great place. My wife and I went here for our first dinner on our anniversary holiday in Key West. Gorgeous setting and facility. Lit trees protruding through a three tiered deck provided the platform for this special setting. Overlooking the Atlantic, Louie's got it covered. From the exceptional food, wine list, ambiance, the views and the service,... more

I had another great Sunday brunch at Louie's Backyard last weekend. I suggest sitting outside on the back deck and enjoying the views of the water. The food is always very good (some of the best in Key West) and the views and atmosphere are truly wonderful. The back deck is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon with... more

I read the reviews, but sadly, my friends not only did not, but wouldn't have believed them if they had! They were determined to go to Louie's, so go we did...and had a miserable time. Not that the food wasn't good, because the problems are not in the kitchen. The wait-staff has a LOT to learn about how to treat... more

We had a great lunch there and drinks on the AfterDeck in the evening last week (06/27/08). Everything was so great! I am so happy that I searched the net and found this gem! The food was delicious. We had Conch fritters, fish and seashell pasta in a creamy sauce and their unique fish sandwich. It has a wonderful scene... more

Great place for lunch. Similar menu as the dinner menu with out the high prices. Plus the view is great for the day. Skip dinner and opt for drinks on the Afterdeck at sunset. more

We had our rehearsal dinner in the private party room of Louie's Backyard and everything was excellent. Not to mention the incredible view of the Ocean, the food was delicious and Eve and the waitstaff did a wonderful job keeping things running smoothly and accomodating all of our needs. All of our guests raved about their meals and fell in... more

The matre'd has no - NONE - concern for or understanding of seating. Are you there for a romantic evening? Great, except you will likely find yourself next to a table full of unruly kids. Ready for an evening out with the kids? Great, except you will probably find yourself in a romantic corner with no-one who wants you there.... more

I went to Louie's on Saturday May 17th, 2008 with three girlfriends for lunch before leaving Key West. The waiter was fantastic; he was charming, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He kept our drinks replenished and checked our table frequently for any service needed. The view was great; we were seated on the deck in the shade overlooking the... more
