Cheeseburger in Paradise

- Price range: $$ ($9-$15)
This is an outpost of the Key West-themed restaurant chain inspired by the Jimmy Buffett song -- the famous artist himself even performed at the 2003 oepning. The menu features island-inspired dishes like popcorn shrimp, Cuban sandwiches, Peruvian pork sandwiches and barbecue jerk ribs, plus salads and, natch, cheeseburgers. You'll also find lighter wraps and salads with a tropical tinge. A lengthy tiki drink list features eight different takes on Buffett's precious margarita, plus myriad other alcholic and non-alcoholic options. Weather permitting, the dining room is open air.
