A refined lens on

I first moved to Key West as a teenager and have spent the past 15 years in luxury hospitality on the island. I know what’s consistently excellent here, what’s overhyped, and how to shape a visit that feels effortless instead of over-planned. Luke’s List exists to cut through the noise and highlight the experiences that are genuinely worth your time.

I first moved to Key West as a teenager and quickly fell in love with the island’s laid-back rhythm and unique charm. In my twenties, I relocated to Boston, where I developed the attention to detail and high standards that luxury hospitality demands.

In 2012, I returned to Key West and have been deeply involved in the island’s fine dining and hospitality world ever since. Today, I help travelers discover the restaurants, hidden gems, and unforgettable experiences that make Key West truly special — with guidance that feels professional, yet personal and friendly.

This guide is offered freely and without paid placements. If you don’t require concierge planning but found these recommendations helpful and would like to show your appreciation in the form of support, here is a secure payment link.
