Keylime Bistro

User Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

This was a marginal at best lunch stop. The "live" music was hokey but I guess gives this that little bit extra. We tried later the next day in the hopes that the food would be better presented, alas on a trip to the restroom I spied the kitchen. Anyone serving food from this place should be embarassed to charge the prices Key Lime did.
On closer inspection one will notice the fresh coat of paint but the wary servers give away the true air of this "bistro". Unfriendly and going through the motions is how I'd grade them.
The Mucky Duck or Bubble Room offer fun and welcoming staff with at least the appearance of cleanliness.

As for the septic truck mentioned below, I was also there that day. Eating across the street at RC Otters. You'd think the proprietors of these eateries would look into scheduling either an early or late servicing. After checking into the situation, the same woman owns Key Lime Bistro, RC Otters and the B & B.

Tween Waters is a nice walk down the beach as well.

This was a nice way to end our evening on 12/30/08 even with a minor issue.
We picked a nice table on the patio to watch the sunset in the Gulf and do some people watching.
We were offered crackers, cheese and grapes before our meal.

A waste removal truck showed up a few minutes into the evening and started a very noisy pump which lasted 1 hour. We were told it would be 10 minutes and thought we suffer through it. It was pumping out the septic tank at the bed and breakfast nextdoor.Finally we asked to be moved inside. In the quiter enviroment we enjoyed crab cakes, Salmon, a salad and margaritas.
The waiter (JT) was great,he said he'd been in the area 5 years. The (enviromental) truck was not under his control so we can't fault him. I'd go back again, just watch out for the pump truck at the B&B next door!
I'd have given a 5 star but thought the manager should have offered a apology or explanation to the patrons for the bad timing.

We have eaten here before. It was always wonderful which is why we drove 70 miles for lunch.
We will not be back. The seating host/our waiter was extremely arrogant. We were shown a tiny table for two. I asked if perhaps we could have a larger table. NO, those are for four people!!!!, he told me in a rather shocked and condescending tone. . Had I asked to sit outside, which was fairly busy, I could understand. We asked to sit inside. Nobody else there. It was also 1;30 pm so the rush was not going to be happening for at least five hours.
The macho nachos were dry and difficult to eat. The hamburger was OK but the fruit accompaniment had seen better days. (Like the week before when they were cut.)
Service had that swaggering arrogance that is difficult to comprehend in this economic climate.
There are too many other options on the island to waste money here.
