A&B Lobster Home (brief for Alonzo and Berlin) has been a effective eating staple in Key West since 1947. This elegant restaurant overlooking the water presents seating each inside and out of doors, so that you could get pleasure from your meal within the cool air conditioned eating room or exterior the place you will have an incredible view of the harbor and the beautiful boats docked there.
My husband and I dined right here this previous weekend. The menu options tempting soups, salads, contemporary native seafood, and steaks. Prior to now I’ve ordered the lobster bisque to start out, and it’s mouthwateringly good with that beautiful trace of cognac. However this time we went with a easy wedge salad and steak; the ribeye for my husband and the filet mignon for myself.
One of many first methods by which I choose a restaurant is by the standard of bread that they serve. I completely love the bread right here. It’s good and crusty on the surface and tender on the within. Yum! So we had been off to a effective begin!
What’s there to say a few wedge salad? It’s a fairly easy idea; iceberg lettuce, bacon, and blue cheese dressing. This one additionally added onions and tomatoes. It was a pleasant mild begin to the meal.
At first look, our plated entrees didn’t look overly spectacular. The kitchen actually skimped on the perimeters. Are you able to even see the mashed potatoes within the image of the ribeye? However, the steaks had been completely superb. After the primary chew my husband and I checked out one another and stated on the identical time, that is one of the best steak we’ve got ever eaten in Key West. The Bernaise sauce served with the filet was scrumptious, however the steak tasted so good with out it that I didn’t find yourself utilizing it. The gorgonzola potatoes had been flavorful with simply the correct amount of sharpness; they had been the proper pairing for the steak.
For dessert we every ordered espresso and we shared a bit of the cheesecake. The espresso was served in small particular person pots; I used to be not anticipating an awesome cup of espresso, however that’s what we received. It was most likely one of the best cup of espresso that I’ve had in a restaurant in fairly awhile. The piece of cheesecake was small, nevertheless it was wealthy and creamy and never overly candy.
The meals is superb as is the service and the ambiance, however the costs are excessive ($30.00 – $70.00 per entree). In order a lot as I’d like to eat right here extra typically, A&B is our big day spot. Nonetheless, the restaurant’s location is great and free parking is out there as nicely which in my view makes up for among the value of dinner. Reservations are urged. Gown is informal.
It’s also possible to get pleasure from a earlier than or after dinner drink at Berlin’s, their cocktail and cigar bar.
