Authentic Japanese cuisine and sushi bar Open for dinner and curbside to-go seven nights a week | 586 Main St. 435.649.6293 | yukiyamasushi.com
Looking for a classic sushi restaurant with both traditional and cutting-edge, Japanese-inspired small plates that are perfect for sharing? Yuki Yama is just the place. This Main Street restaurant is a staple for locals, who often dine at the sushi bar, and a treat for visitors in town. Their traditional tatami room is great for a party of up to nine guests; additionally, guests may put themselves in the hands of their talented chefs and ask for an omakase chef’s-choice style of dining that can be paired with an abundance of specialty sakes. If you are craving something hot, try one of their house-made ramen noodle soups. While Yuki Yama specializes in having a large variety of fresh and exotic fish — like sustainably farmed bluefin tuna and Santa Barbara uni — traditional dishes such as sushi rolls, tempura and house-made gyoza are a great way for less adventurous diners to enjoy Yuki Yama’s diverse menu.

Steve and Heatherly Stanley’s Midway barbecue joint is connected to the West Main Chevron station and continues to serve up homemade, authentic Western barbecue in a relaxed environment. The name of the place comes from a nickname of Steve’s. His grandkids call him “Goochy Goo,” which rhymes with barbecue, so combined with his love of down-home food, the place was born. We love the prime rib date night on Friday evenings as well as the tacos — served with two warm corn tortillas, choice of smoked brisket, pulled pork or chicken, chopped onions, house-made cilantro lime ranch dressing, cotija cheese and fresh cilantro. Offering dine-in, takeout and catering for both large and small events, this is a treasured local establishment and a can’t-miss stop for devoted barbecue fans.

Outside the Kitchen Perfect Pool Party
Deer Valley Resort offers up elevated snacks and drinks at Goldener Hirsch’s rooftop pool. by Allison Arthur Photos by Carla Boecklin
Nothing says summer like a pool party. And nobody knows how to cater a party better than Deer Valley Resort. The rooftop pool at Goldener Hirsh couldn’t have been a better backdrop for this high school reunion.
The menu was stacked with individual and bite-size portions that were easy to eat poolside and didn’t weigh you down. Fun finger sandwiches and charcuterie cups were a highlight.
Of course, the drinks were an important part of the party, and the options were garnished beautifully, making them even more fun to drink. Dessert is always a good idea, and the fruit parfaits made a splash at the end.
Hats from JW Bennett were donned by several guests.
Since shooting this spread last summer, Goldener Hirsch has transitioned from a Deer Valley property to an Auberge property. Here is a little information about the resort’s new executive chef and plans for this summer. Born and raised in France, Nicolas Lebas began his culinary career in a bistro in Lyon, and it has taken him to Mexico, Texas, Florida and Georgia. This summer, Lebas will introduce the first-ever Goldener Summer Market. Inspired by the French guinguette, an open-air drinking establishment in the suburbs of 19th-century Paris and other French cities, the market will launch in tandem with the opening of the summer chairlifts at Deer Valley Resort. Every Saturday from June 18 through September 3, the resort invites guests to take in scenic views from Deer Valley’s chairlifts. Once returned to the Silver Lake base area, the outdoor market will have light bites by Chef Lebas and guest chefs as well as a unique menu of spirits, games and live music.

HALF SHELL RAW BAR (KEY WEST) The casual Half Shell Raw Bar is everything you’d expect in a dockside seafood spot: fruity drinks, picnic tables and seafood towers. The key lime mustard that comes with steamed pink shrimp and crab is a standout. Don’t miss the garlic Cuban bread!
MATT’S STOCK ISLAND KITCHEN & BAR (STOCK ISLAND) Located at the Perry Hotel Key West, Matt’s serves “American coastal comfort food” with innovative twists — such as iced cold seafood presented in a fisherman’s tackle box. Overlooking a colorful marina, the open-air indoor and outdoor ambiences enhance the local cuisine.
KERMIT’S KEY WEST KEY LIME SHOPPE (KEY WEST) Look for the lime-green and yellow corner restaurant and shop, and belly up outside next to the tranquil koi pond for a little slice of paradise. You can have breakfast or lunch all day, then shop for souvenir key lime products (everything from candy, oils, seasonings and juice to salad dressing, cookies and snacks). There are many variations of a classic key lime pie (an old family recipe of owner Kermit Carpenter), but the most unusual thing on the menu is a pie bar (a slice dipped in chocolate).

Extra entertainment: Sit outside so you can listen to the live music from the bar across the street.
FIRST FLIGHT ISLAND RESTAURANT & BREWERY (KEY WEST) First Flight is located in the heart of downtown Key West. It’s well known for being the birthplace of Pan American World Airways since the structure now located at 301 Whitehead Street was the place where Pan Am’s first tickets were sold in 1927. A whole fried yellow snapper is a yummy way to enjoy this popular local fish.
DREAM ISLANDER RESORT (ISLAMORADA) This charming cottage-style resort is on the waterfront but an easy walk to several local restaurants and bars scattered around the area. Water sports, pools, a hot tub, outdoor games and even a splash pad will ensure you have as much activity and action as you like. You can also watch the perfect sunrise over the water in a lounge chair or hammock just outside your door. The beachside bar makes a mean piña colada, and the restaurant on-site, Elements Lounge, grows fruits and herbs that you will find in your meals for a fresh touch.
THE PERRY HOTEL KEY WEST (STOCK ISLAND NEXT TO KEY WEST) Inspired by the industrial nature from which Stock Island has developed, the harborside hotel offers a lively yet secluded spot to kick back. Walk around the marina, where you can ogle the boats, then check out the boutique hotel’s pool overlooking the waterfront. Two “boat-totable” seafood-driven restaurants — Matt’s Stock Island Kitchen & Bar and the Salty Oyster Bar & Grill — offer classic Key West comfort food with innovative twists.
Be sure to borrow one of the resort’s free bikes to explore the area around the hotel.
Order the coconut key lime pie at Kermit’s Key West Key Lime Shoppe. It is an exceptional twist on the classic dessert and is Carpenter’s favorite, too.
KEY IN MIND
IF YOU WANT TO EXPLORE ALL THE KEYS HAVE TO OFFER, FLY INTO MIAMI AND OUT OF KEY WEST. YOU CAN EAT, SIGHTSEE AND STAY ALONG THE WAY TO EXPERIENCE ALL THAT ISLAND HOPPING HAS TO OFFER WITHOUT HAVING TO BACKTRACK.
NO NEED FOR A CAR ONCE YOU GET NEAR KEY WEST. PARKING CAN BE LIMITED, AND BIKES OR SCOOTERS WILL MAKE YOU FIT IN WITH THE LOCALS (HOTEL SHUTTLES CAN FILL IN THE REST).
IF YOU COME WITH A SENSE OF ADVENTURE AND LIKE TO TRY NEW THINGS, THERE IS A NEVER-ENDING LIST OF OPTIONS, BUT IF YOU WANT TO RELAX IN A HAMMOCK, YOU CAN DO SO WHILE TAKING IN INCREDIBLE SUNRISES AND SUNSETS SINCE THE ISLANDS HAVE WATER VIEWS FOR BOTH.
BERGSTRÖM
FLORIDA KEYS BREWING CO.
DRINK FLORIDA KEYS BREWING CO. (ISLAMORADA) Taste an impressive variety of creative beer — brewed with local flavors such as key lime, citrus, hibiscus and honey — while you kick back in the lively, colorfully decorated beer garden. Try a tasting flight so you can experience the array of brews, many only available at this craft brewery.
DO WAKEBOARD AT THE LAGOON ON GRASSY KEY (MARATHON) Adventure lovers can experience the Lagoon on Grassy Key, a 50-acre action-sports ecopark, home to Keys Cable Park, Bongos Botanical Beer Garden and the Lagoon Saloon. Book an hour at the Keys Cable Park to try wakeboarding on the cable system. Newbies at wakeboarding can learn quickly with the experienced guides, and the adventurous can hit the jump. After you have worked up an appetite, enjoy a local beer on tap and some tacos or a salad at Bongos, where much of the meal is grown in the garden on-site.
WALK THE OLD SEVEN MILE BRIDGE (MARATHON) Walk, cycle or roller-skate at sunrise or sunset along the 2.2-mile section of the famed Old Seven Mile Bridge that parallels the Florida Keys Overseas Highway in the Middle Keys.
Make a pit stop afterward at No Name Pub for a local beer and smoked tuna dip, and on the way, be sure to look out for the miniature deer that inhabit the area.

We learned why there are so many “gypsy chickens” roaming the island (when cock fighting was outlawed, they were all set free) and why so many porch ceilings are painted blue (originally it was to keep the spirits out, but it has the added advantage of repelling insects).
