Island House's tropical outdoor restaurant is situated under a canopy next to the pool and offers a wide variety of food that includes beef, chicken, fish, soups, salads and pastas as well as finger foods like chicken tenders, onion rings and waffle fries.

On our most recent trip to Key West we dined at Island House twice. Our first visit was with seven friends and we ordered the gamut of the menu. The burger was raved about as were the fries and onion rings. We also loved the chicken sandwich served blackened. Other favorites included the Island House Wrap made with your choice of grouper, ham, turkey breast or shrimp, the skirt steak sandwich and the grouper sandwich. On the second visit we went back for our favorites, the burger and the skirt steak sandwich.

Later on in the weekend we were talking with some friends about our great lunch and they recommended the Tropical Chicken Salad sandwich made with chunks of breast meat, almonds and macadamia nuts, pineapple, coconut, mayonnaise and a touch of honey to sweeten it up. We'll definitely try that on our next visit.
