Louie's Backyard

Scallops were the best we have ever had! Everything was sooo amazing and the view can't be beat! Try and sit outside and catch a sunset , magical.

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. However, it isn't the best spot to view the vibrant Key West sunset because it faces the Atlantic. Still a beautiful view , just not directly the sunset

If you have an extra $100 to spend on dinner for two, you must reserve a night during your visit to have dinner and watch the sunset ! The chef is awesome and the view is unparalleled! Reservations !

Excellent views and small plates . Try the grilled octopus or Indian spiced fried chicken . Awesome bar as well !

Amazing sunset at the bar , incredible service and food. Mussels , conch , tuna and catch of the day - can’t go wrong. Also very reasonably priced good wines .

wonderful location to sit and relax. good drinks too!

The Chef , Mr. Shook, is an ARTIST . Pure and simple. Have been there many times and have had nothing but bliss; the food is superb, the staff is second to none and the setting is beautiful. Go & enjoy

Srsly, make a reserv or be relegated to the "small plate " menu. Nothing is what u expect here. Food is gr8, but comes to table prepared differently than you think. Try fries w/fontina dip as an app.

Sunsets are amazing! Scallops were stunning. :) can't wait to go back! Try to sit on the back patio the view is incredible. ❤️

My most favorite place for a wonderful dinner - scallops are to die for as is the grilled tuna . Sunsets are free and amazing - must make reservations but do it - you won't be sorry!

OMG the foie gras and to start and the lamb as the main was my decision and was a marvelous one. Picture of the foie gras .

Dear sweet Jesus, this place is phenomenal. Thought the food couldn't be better than the view , until it was. Try the popcorn , octopus , and we also indulged in some incredible specials.

One of the best wine lists on the Island . Great atmosphere, tiered outside patio affords great views and shade (or no shade of you prefer) for all.

Well cooked chicken and beautifully cook risotto at a great price...Ch èvre Stuffed Chicken BreastWith Wild Mushroom Risotto and Smoked Paprika Butter

Mallory Square is great, but you have to get to Louie's for a sunset ! The upstairs part of the restaurant has a great sharing menu for larger groups! Love Louie's!

charred octopus is so deliciously paired with chorizo and potatoes , it is the perfect snack after a long plane ride

A great spot for cocktails by the beach . You can literally hear the ocean's waves as you're sipping on cocktails and eating a fancy dinner . Definitely go here.

Great food both downstairs and up on the After Deck. Try the small plates upstairs - they are more than generous. Very romantic .

Great place for having a drink at sunset . Dinner after was delicious. Try the lobster (appertizer). Felt like heaven!

The bar on the water is the best afternoon stop for a drink. We strongly recommend the hangover burger . Served on weekends only.

Superb dinners . The upstairs has great small plates and drinks. The casual patio is on the ocean. First class food.

I like a little pretension, but Louie's has gone a bit far. While excellent fair , a thirty minute wait for an empty restaurant seems to simply be to usher you to the bar for exorbitant cocktails .

....Key West best kept secret!!! Good food and sea view from the terrace .

The dog beach is next door so if you like dogs you can watch them play from the deck.

Jimmy Buffett lived next door once upon a time. He mentions Louie's in the liner notes for A1A and in the live version of "Trying to Reason With Hurricane Season" from Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays.

Island Cosmopolitan is legit. Plus the view is amazing. #relaxingAF

Views , anything and everything on the menu! Did not have a reservation for lunch but the accommodated us quickly.

Perfect spot - quiet & relaxing with a beautiful view . Tomato & Watermelon salad followed by burger for lunch was delicious!

Everything on the menu is top notch. Great sunset views on the back porch in the evening

Lovely place !!!! The menu perfect!!!!

Poached Eggs on Ciabatta with Arugula , Hollandaise , Bacon and Tomato !!!

Best view of the Atlantic Ocean (Louie's Backyard.) In a Victorian home with seats tiered so everyone has a view.The deck bar doesn't stink.

Order the lobster with truffle butter for an appetizer and the shrimp and grits for your entree. Then thank me :-)

Lobster Benedict , blueberry pancakes , Bloody Mary , key lime pie !!

My fav bar in all of Key West! Beautiful views and yummy cocktails ! Thank you Jimmy B! ;)

They make great Bloody Marys

Very tough reservation to get but the bar area in the back is special

Fish tacos and crab cake Caesar salad are incredible. Don't forget the brownie creme brûlée !

Couldn't be accommodated and am in a wheelchair. A little disappointed not to be able to try the fare, not to mention the way we were treated when asking about accommodations. We left.

Fried truffles , octopus , maine lobster pie and fish du jour (daily special ).

Amazing view . Friendly staff . Excellent drinks. This is Key West at its finest.

One of the most beautiful restaurants I've been to and the food is amazing too.

Head around the back to the bar by the water for an afternoon cocktail and the hangover burger . Yum!!

Yellowtail Snapper entree was amazing. Must try restaurant in Key West.

Everything, meal, service, atmosfhere. You need to have a reservation and your loved one with you.

The Gruyere , Caramelized onion and roasted tomato flatbread was magical

The tuna tartare was one of the best tartare 's I've ever had!

The most beautiful setting I've seen in Key West. Highly recommend.

Try the Rock Shrimp Croquettes , delicious! Just the right amount of spice and sweet. Worth it!

Grab a drink on the deck and watch the sun set! Beautiful spot.
