We liked Two Friends Restaurant so well that we ate there twice on Sunday!
We first ate breakfast there on Sunday morning. We happened to park the motorcycle right in front of the restaurant and was just getting off the bike and looking around when a gentlemen suggested that we move the bike down just a little since it was technically in a bicycle parking spot. While Chris was moving the bike, the gentlemen handed me a coupon for free coffee, free soda, or free key lime pie with the purchase of an entree. **several of the restaurants have people who stand outside them and hand out coupons in order to get you to come in and eat. Take a few minutes and stand outside and read the menu....often times, somebody will walk up and give you a coupon.
We had been over to the Bistro and knew they were serving brunch. We also knew that it was $35.00 per person and included champagne. Champagne for breakfast???? And, trust me, we don't eat $35.00 worth of bacon and eggs between the two of us, let alone EACH!
So, we went into Two Friends and just really enjoyed breakfast. We ordered french toast (no butter), the fruit medley with yogurt and granola, and a bagel with cream cheese. We shared everything and left full and happy....and not overwhelmed with greasy bacon and heavy foods. The guy outside told us that Two Friends is usually full every week day at breakfast time. I can see why.
We had a great waitress.....friendly and attentive. We got our meal quick and our food was hot and very visually appealing. The atmosphere was open and airy.
After walking all over Duval Street and Key West, by 5:00 pm or so, we started looking for a place to eat lunch/dinner. We read several menus, went down to the historic seaport district and all the way back past Mallory Square......and we ended up back at Two Friends. For one thing, we really liked it; for another, as Key West prices go, it was very reasonable.
We got there around 6:00 pm and they were busy, but not too busy. We got seated right away, with no waiting. We requested a seat where we could see the game, and they gave us a perfect table for seeing the TV. Our waitress came to get our drink order right away and was great about checking to see if we were low on refreshment while we were eating.
Chris ordered the lobster combo and he said it was excellent. It must have been, because he ate it all (and he had shrimp and oysters not too long before we ate supper). I ordered the New York strip steak, which comes with a baked potato (you can also have the option for french fries or rice pilaf). The steak was cooked just right. The food was served quick and was just the right temperature.
We had each been given a coupon by guy outside the door before we went in. We each had a piece of key lime pie (free with the coupon!) and coffee. I have to say that the key lime pie at Two Friends was the best that we ate while in Key West.
Again, our waitress was great. Very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was great. If you want quiet and intimate, there is a dining area for that. If you want to get a little more loud or watch the game, there's the bar area for that.
We didn't karaoke, but they advertise karaoke every night and it can be seen live from their webcam. How fun is that?!
We definitely recommend Two Friends when you visit Key West!
