We will offer a three-course lunch with wonderful choices. The price, including food, tax and gratuity is $45.

We will all learn about the incredible Key Marco Cat: Carved from native hardwood, the Key Marco Cat was created some 500 to 1,500 years ago by Southwest Florida’s early Calusa people or their Muspa ancestors.

Discovered on Key Marco in 1896 during a Smithsonian sponsored archaeological expedition led by archaeologist and anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing.
