Blackfin Bistro - Key West
TheTraveler2u Tim2Travel4Fun This is my 3rd 5 star rating Ive given in the last 8 years, and I can honestly say the experience was memorable.
Stopped in to use the restroom, but before I left a previous patron recommended that Id try the "Porkchop dish," and immediately I was sold with curiosity.
While dining with my Navigator, we compromised our interest and lovingly split our meals to experience ones interest. She chose the smoked salmon appetizer and I the Lobster bisque. Both dishes were in harmony. The bisque was excellent and the salmon was as fresh as if it was caught within 36 hrs.
The 2nd course is served. The anticipated main course delivered. Caribbean-style pork chop cooked med-well over yellow rice and charred asparagus, a well deserved "chefs kiss." For my Navigator, Caribbean sautéed shrimp over mashed potatoes and sautéed tomato spinach. Needless to say, we decided to share and we were both pleased.
Dessert? I shouldnt. We should. We shall! Vanilla Creme brulee, perfect caramelized sugar finish with a perfect custard.
This place earned a solid 5 star due tobthe perfect atmosphere, timing, service, and excellent foods. I have no doubt that this experience may never be replicated but to know of what a 5 star experience is like, its only fair to give credit to where credit is due.
