Today I backtrack a bit too the first trip. One night we went to one of my favorites Olivia Cafe at Old Key West Resort. This is Mikes favorite resort. He loves the laid back condo feel, and the family restaurant style of Olivia's.
We both ordered what we always get, New York Strip served with mushroom and tomato ragout, green beans and carrots and Olivia's potatoes.
This is what we ate, but this is now served wroth mashed potatoes. We subbed the Olivia's potatoes. The steaks were really nice and thick. Mikes potatoes were the typical cheesy goodness, but mine were so salty I could not eat them. I don't know how his could be perfect, yet mine be so bad. I assume they are all baked in the same pan, as these are a version of baked au gratin potatoes. Who knows. The other issue was the ragout. It looked the same as always, but it tasted different. Not in a good way.
This has always been one of my favorite steaks on property, so I was a bit disappointed. The steak itself was still perfection. I would just ask for it without the sauce. We will be back, but next year.
