The family and I love to try new places to eat and this past Saturday, we tried out the recently opened Keewaydin’s right on Fifth Avenue. This modern island fusion cuisine is an awesome choice on Fifth Avenue and great for families as well. We went for a late lunch on Saturday and we were sat right out. The restaurant is wicked modern (Sorry, can’t help with the Bostonian as I lived there for 23 years!) and the decor is absolutely beautiful. The sea and beach theme gives you a Tommy Bahama vibe to it with a local SWFL feel to it. Upon being set down, we were served water right away and within minutes our waiter was in to take our order. My wife and I started with the Gordon Colada which features light rum, coconut, Myers Rum Floater and is served frozen. Super delcious and refreshing on a hot day. Keewaydins offers happy hour 7 days a sweek from 11am to 5pm, and that was from where my lunch choice came from. I chose the Friend Shrimp N’ chips which came with French Fries, Cole Slaw, Key Lime Mustard and Cocktail Sauce. It was absolutely delicious, with the shrimp being fresh and very meaty, the fries crispy and delicious and the cole slaw just a perfect mix of deliciouness. It was a decent amount of shrimps for the Happy Hour portion as well. My wife decided to go with the KFC sandwich which features sweet and spicy glazed crispy fried chicken, red cabbage slaw, cilantro aioli in a brioche bun. I had a bite and it was absolutely delicious! A bit messy to eat because there is just so much to it, but it is so delicious you do not mind getting your hads dirty. My kids had their usual with chicken strips and a cheeseburger, both with tons of fries and they were very satisfied with their options, as they ate it all. Overall, the prices were pretty fair, given the recent cost of rise in food, the quality of the food and the prime location on 5th Avenue.
My family and I would certainly recommend a visit to Keewaydins on Fifth!
Delicious and fresh food, good service, amazing ambiance and overall a fantastic experience.
Felipe Approved! We will be back for more soon!
