Construction and renovation of the new Louie's Backyard began in January, 1983 and it opened on December 27, 1983. The present owners, Phil Tenney and Pat Tenney, carry on the established tradition of dining excellence. The building has been lovingly renovated and enlarged, with special attention paid to maintaining it's historical integrity. In fact, in June of 1984, Louie's Backyard earned a place in the National Register of Historic Places . Open dining and cocktail decks leading down to the ocean let the diner at Louie's experience the warm, heady atmosphere of Key West at it's very best. It is this insistence on quality in service, as well as food, and an extensive wine list that has won so many friends for the new Louie's Backyard.

Lunch regulars have said "the Louie's Fritters are the best in Key West". Dinner regulars praise the Louie's Chowder and many fish dishes we serve.

Upstairs at Louie's is a private dining room for groups of 20 to 40. This room is enclosed on two sides by french doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. A theatre kitchen flanked by white columns and private bar complete this scene. This private dining room and theatre kitchen feature the same bill of fare as the main dining room.
