we watched another lunch couple get up and leave after 15 minutes of waiting for initial greeting. My wife's drink had to be returned and waitress seemed insulted. waited forever for water, check, etc. more

My family and I had Thanksgiving dinner at Louie's in 2009 and were very pleased with the whole experience. We liked the polished, modern appearance of the interior and appreciated the style and warmth of the staff. The wine list was large and interesting. Beer selections, however, were limited -- a peculiarity we also found in many other restaurants in... more

My husband and I were in Key West recently. I had seen great reviews on Tripadvisor for Louie's Backyard and was very interested. We were really wanting a restaurant on the water and this place was perfect. We made reservations 45 minutes befor sundown and had drinks on the deck overlooking the ocean.

Food here was great but a bit over priced. The view is breathtaking. You're basically paying for the view. The truffle butter lobster was out of this world. more

The food is HIGHLY overated. I have paid a lot of money for a great meal, and who minds when the food is... more

If you're looking for a great place to have a wonderful meal, this is it. Located right on the beach, we spent our 30th wedding anniversary enjoying the ocean breeze and a perfectly prepared meal of fresh fish and magnificent dessert. Great service at a great price. The next time we visit the Keys Louie's will definitely be on our... more
