The outside is the kind of lime green you mostly see in the Caribbean. The inside is as casual as a tiki bar, which the Intracoastal restaurant has — a perfect place to sit back, decompress and dig into some Key lime pie. Now, you can’t call yourself Old Key Lime House and screw up the Key lime pie, so this eatery gets it right: homemade and not too pucker-face tart and not too frowny-face sweet.
