Upper Keys
This stylish, modern, but very friendly deli and restaurant is a family-run affair and feels quite a step up from the average Keys seafood shack. The diverse menu serves up something for all palates, from pancakes and breakfast burritos to grouper sandwiches, lasagna and delicious thin-crust pizzas.
Don't neglect the tempting dessert and pastry counter at the entrance. There's outdoor dining at the tables in the back courtyard.
