When you look at Boatyard restaurant, there's not a lot it could do better. Prime, waterfront setting... Amazing view... Bright, stylish with great little lounge-like environments fit in neatly here and there. Boatyard could easily coast on its good looks and spectacular location, but coasting is just not in their nature, and besides, when you're catering to locals, you've got to give more than a pretty picture in a postcard. At least that's the way Konrad Jochum sees it. He brings high standards from his birthplace in Germany, his training in Chicago, and his experience and sense of adventure from years in Key West. The original designer of the Boatyard's menu, Jochum is now personally handling the kitchen, and he's stepped things up a bit in keeping with today's tastes. Konrad has made a lot of changes at Boatyard, but you'll still find Key West inspirations like Caribbean seasoned mahi, Shrimp & grits and guava glazed baby back ribs.
