So we are in the Keys again and I thought it well worth sharing our day of food.  We have our regular go to spots and on occasion we try something new.

Since we last blogged from the Keys, the Big Pine Restaurant has closed down.We have missed their great food and service.  So we had to find another spot to go for breakfast and have found a great one in the Galley Grill on Summerland Key. We have never tried anything other than breakfast but expect that it would be great for lunch as well. Their food is great and their service is excellent.

This morning we went to the Galley Grill with our friend and hairdresser, Becky.  I had an omelet. I did not see what I wanted on the menu so I asked if they would make it and they said of course.  That was a pleasant surprise! It was an omelet with ham, mushrooms, onions, spinach and swiss cheese.  It was very good.  I had toast and grits along with an iced coffee to drink. It was an interesting omelet as the add-in's were not inside but were mixed into the eggs.  There was cheese inside and a bit on top. I really enjoyed it although I could only eat about half of it.  Carol had 2 eggs, home fries and rye toast. She ordered the eggs soft scrambled and they were delivered to satisfaction.  She also had turkey sausage which she enjoyed.  Becky had eggs over medium with home fries, bacon and rye toast.

One of the best things about the Galley Grill is their service.  We usually have the same server, a young lady named Rachel, I think...  Though she has only ever seen us around 5 times total, and that over a number of years, she remembers us and what we usually order.  She always goes over the top in service.

We skipped lunch as our breakfast was late.  We went into Key West to walk around a bit and to visit Kino Sandals shop.  We thought we would go to the beach and find the Shave Ice truck and have shave ice.  The truck wasn't there so we ended up at Baby's Coffee, another of our favorite places to go along the way.  Iced coffee, frozen coffee, smoothies were and always are great.

Then we decided to stay in for dinner.  We got steaks, shrimp, baking potatoes and corn on the cob at Winn Dixie.  Carol grilled the steaks to perfection over a charcoal fire.  She and Becky had T-bones and I had a filet. Becky made amazing coconut shrimp with a sauce to dip that was divine!!!

All in all we had a great day in food.  Tomorrow, perhaps back to Key West for sunset and Pepe's.  Will blog that too.
