We are at the wonderful Pilot House again, but not since leaving the Keys in early 2000. The Keys is always making history, recently the Net Flix people have continued to shoot “Bloodlines” with a show that depicted scenes at the Pilot House. Everyday you can find fresh seafood on a beautiful day with fish swimming under feet, the actual deck is designed with glass inserts so that you can actually watch Snapper and other fish Barracuda swim Beneath Your Feet through the glass floor boats all manner of boats are everywhere somewhere running propellers air air propellers were those things called in we’re out on the veranda and the pilot house is that just a marina in a restaurant but it has just about everything you could want if you were fishing if you are driving if you are looking for seafood in the finest kind. Lobster mac and cheese tender chunks of Maine Lobster in three cheese lobster cream sauce tossed with penne pasta and topped with truffles bread crumbs also Pilot House also Pilot House style Paella bake with baby clams, mussels, shrimp, Lobster Charizo sausage, roasted red peppers, peas and rice.Also decorating our waterfront table was Macadamia crusted Hogfish as seen on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network. This delicate white fleshed fish with Crisp, Citrus Macadamia Panko crust, nested in mango pineapple salsa was extra special even for those that don’t normally order fish. For table drinks we had a Pina Colada, and a Corona inserted bottle into a Margarita. Never had this before, but will have it again. You can eat inside under AC, but many visitors and diners love the glass floor where you can watch wild tropical fish swim beneath your feet while you can even feed them off the table. They have 18-large TV’s, and this place really rocks if you like, with live entertainment most nights. A Tiki Bar here is like no other place on earth, Located at MM 99.5 Oceanside, at 13 Seagate Blvd, Key largo 305-451-3142 www.pilothousemarina.com

The Juice House-Cuban All the Way in Key Largo

AmericanPressTravelNews-December 8th,-Key Largo, FL Keys–When Barb and I want to chow exotic, we reach for menus of the best dishes in the Caribbean Islands. As we wrote the book on the very best recipes from the chefs of all major islands in the Caribbean, we know great Cuban dishes-period! So when we went into the Juice House in Key Largo to try their foods, we immediately knew we were in a great spot-Spanish everywhere, the coffee aromas, media noche sandwiches in the hot press, long dishes of rice and beans, pulled beef, ox feet, maduro’s; that sweet banana that if done right, is moist, flavorful but not too soft-that was

the way it was here at the Juice House! Oh, and by the way, they make their own Flan and Rice pudding as well as other great Cuban style desserts! They have a walk-up for that strong, sweet or no sugar at all Cuban Coffee, a great draw for everyone who likes a shot of “the real thing, baby.”The Juice House is located at 103200 Overseas, Hwy. under the Yellow Awning in Key largo, FL. 33037–Phone them at: 305-451-4270 We really enjoyed our lunch here!
