We recently had a very nice dinner at Louie's Backyard. The food was excellent. Service was good. The view of the ocean very nice. I ordered a Cosmopolitan but the waitress suggested their house "martini" made with vodka soaked with pineapples. It was truly awesome! I would go back just for that. more

I have eaten here every time I've been to Key West and have never had a less-than-stellar experience. The service is wonderful, food is amazing, wine list for every taste and the location is lovely. NOT a place for a cheap or rushed meal. more

The best restaurant in Key West. This was our second visit and it was even better this time. I had the scallops with pesto and my husband raved and raved about the Grouper special he had. And, the atmosphere can't be beat. more

Louie's backyard is definitely one of the classier spots in Key West but it still has that laid back keys feel despite the white linens. The staff, the sunset and the food were outstanding...I cannot wait to go back! Great spot, definitely worth going to if you are willing to spend a little more on a nice dinner more

We happend to walk by on a Sunday around lunch time and without any prior knowledge about the restaurant or checking it here on tripadvisor.

I was incredibly disappointed with our experience at Louie's Backyard. From the first moment we walked in we felt anything but welcome at this restaurant. Granted we had originally made a reservation for six people and at the last moment another couple decided to join us. We all showed up exactly on time. Instead of the host staff recognizing that... more
