Hemingway's Tavern

Date night. Movie night. This is a perfect place because movie theater is next door and ice cream is next door. Martini was tasty with good flavor, I believe that I was short changed on my alcohol or it was hidden away in the drink. This is the reason I reordered a scotch on the rock. I had the snapper with crab on rice and asparagus. The snapper was cooked very well and the combination of crab topping was a good complement. Excellent taste. Meal came out like it was prepared 15 minutes earlier. It was only warm and rice was cool, I would not say cold.

Last stop for dinner with family before heading to airport. Ordered Smoked Fish Dip and Conch Fritters for apps. Smoked Fish Dip was really good and the jalapeño relish gave nice kick and was delicious. Conch Fritters were also a hit. I ordered the catch of the day, red snapper. Whole flash fried fish with red beans and rice, chimichurri, and sour sauce. Fish was great, very mild and cooked to perfection. Didn't really pick up the sour sauce, but snapper was great on its own. We shared Guava Cheesecake for dessert. Nice guava flavor without being overpowering. Service was great and they were quite busy! Great dinner!

Hubby and I stopped in for lunch following appointments at Health First's Gateway location. Very convenient. This had to be one of the most unique presentations of delicious fish dip we've come across: served with long plantain chips. So good. The conch fritters were also tasty. Not too chewy and the breading had a good flavor. I can't say much about the Cuban sandwich as I don't normally eat pork and am not fond of Swiss cheese. I was trying something new, okay? It looked really good. My husband's burger was great! Be sure to squeeze your lime over your key lime pie! They also have Cuban, as well as American, coffee that looked and smelled incredible. We didn't partake. Hemingway's is definitely a place you go to meet with friends to enjoy good food with friendly staff. We will go there again when in the area!
