I'm up earlier than usual this morning...9:00AM. We're just having coffee and a light lunch today because, tonight, we're heading down to Key West for a great dinner at a place called 915 (because it's located at 915 Duval Street).
In the afternoon, Faith puts together a nice little "snack plate" of radishes with butter, fruit and some really good pumpkin bread.
Around 5:00PM, we drive the fifty or so miles down to Key West. Our first stop is another restaurant, Square One, for cocktails...they've got some nice little wines by the glass.
Then, it's on to 915...specializing in "small plates". We load up with fried calamari (light and crisp), beef carpaccio (perfectly sliced with truffle oil and parmesan)...and...915's "signature dish", the Tuna Dome (a mound of lump crab meat covered with thinly-sliced tuna sashimi...it's an inspired dish. All of these dishes present a challenge when it comes to wine...white?...red?. We opt for sparkling...the Laurent-Perrier Brut...and it's a perfect match.
There are some interesting fellow diners including a couple from New York...we recommend the Tuna Dome. Mark and Faith know our waiter, and we get outstanding service. All in all, a remarkable dining experience.
Then...it's back on the road up to Marathon. It's been a long day (not to mention a huge dinner) so, by the time that we get back, we're all pretty beat...so, it's an early night.
