Cedar Key is most known for Dock Street, but the central downtown area can hold its own when it comes to food and entertainment. One of the more high-end places to eat in town is the Island Hotel and Restaurant. Recently, we made reservations for a Friday night, and we were not disappointed!
The menu includes pasta, chicken, seafood, and steak dishes. It seems like they have one soup each day, and a couple of choices when it comes to starches and veggies. When we went, I had vegetable soup, couscous, and beets to go with my Pittsburgh-style steak. This was my first time having a Pittsburgh-style steak, which means the outside is charred and the inside stays pretty rare. I enjoyed it a lot! Aric chose a chicken pasta meal, which was delicious.
The wine list isn't extensive, but we did find a Chianti from Banfi we loved and would recommend.
A highlight of the evening was our server, Rachel, whose passion for what she does shines through in every interaction.
