Key West, Florida
Chef-owned Mediterranean and Italian bistro in Old Town Key West
Azur is a chef-owned Mediterranean restaurant on Grinnell Street in Old Town Key West, run by Michael Mosi and Drew Wenzel — two chefs who've cooked together for more than 35 years. Mosi brings Tuscan technique from time spent with family in Pistoia, Italy; Wenzel trained under acclaimed chef Marina Boss at Germany's Voss-Haus on the Baltic coast. Before Key West, they co-owned a restaurant in Hamburg for nearly a decade. The menu leans Italian-Mediterranean with Florida Keys seafood front and center: charred octopus with za'atar, yellowtail snapper, truffled gnocchi, and Angus rib eye. A shaded patio sits in a quieter pocket of Old Town, a few blocks off Duval Street — more neighborhood dinner than tourist-strip dining. One of the few genuinely chef-owned restaurants in the Keys.

Florida's gay resorts are spread across five cities with very different styles. Here is the statewide picture: which cities have clothing-optional men's resorts, which have gay hotels anyone can book, what each one's own site says it costs, and where to go deeper.

Key West is down to four gay-owned or gay-centered places to stay after Equator Resort closed in January 2025: two clothing-optional men's resorts, one adults-only guesthouse that welcomes everyone, and the hotel that shares its grounds with a nightly drag cabaret and the Sunday Tea Dance. Here is what each one's own site says about who can stay, where clothing is optional, what it costs and which weekends carry minimum stays.
