Late lunch or Linner yesterday at Blackfin Bistro
Wagyu Burger $34 (port w**e mayonnaise, shallot marmalade, smoked gouda fondue) comes with truffle fries and mixed greens.
Cooked to medium. Perfectly pink and full of flavor. I will miss this burger.

I went to First Flight Island Restaurant & Brewery to have some Taco Tuesday fun. They have been running this and a few other specials this summer. These specials are for anyone who is around locals or visitors.
On Tuesdays enjoy your pick from three different tacos all coming in at $5 each. You can add on sides also at $5 and a house margarita for you guessed it, $5.
I asked the bartender which taco had been selling the best and she replied "overwhelmingly that it was the shrimp taco". Decision made, that was nice and easy. Thanks Britannie :)
I will say it was enjoyable, had good flavors, and I felt was a good value for a loaded up taco. The margarita hit the spot. Does it get any better than tacos & margs?
Check out their other summer specials and I will add a link in the comments for Key West Summer Dining Specials that you can look at going on around the island.
