That extra attention made the evening feel special. Great food, an awesome hook-and-cook experience, and exceptional service from William. We would absolutely recommend Kaya!

The restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, so we anticipated a pretty quick experience. Unfortunately, a large group arrived shortly after we were seated, and with what appeared to be only one waitress covering the area, service was much slower than expected. Between placing our orders and waiting for drinks, we honestly came close to getting up and leaving. But WOW, am I glad we stayed! This ended up being one of my favorite meals of our entire Key West trip! The fish tacos were seasoned to perfection, my cocktail absolutely hit the spot, and everyone in our group loved their food. The atmosphere was wonderful, and despite the slow service, the hospitality was warm, friendly, and genuine. By the end of the meal, with full bellies and happy faces, the wait was a distant memory. Sometimes good things really are worth waiting for! We'd absolutely return!

We came on a Sunday night and we were seated right away. Our server Ionela was super nice, attentive, and took great care of us all night! Food: For appetizers, we started off with the Grilled Peruvian Scallops and the Lobster Empanadas. Both were really delicious. The scallops were like butter! The presentation was beautiful too. For our entrees, my husband ordered the Grilled Prime Beef Skirt Steak with fries, and I ordered the Yellowtail Snapper Fettuccine. What a TREAT! The fish was so fresh and delicious, it was so so lovely. My husband really enjoyed his meal as well (I took a couple bites and it was great!) I can't wait to come back here again next time (we come every year) and try some other dishes! Highly recommend!!!

We've been here once before and not really sure why my review was not done. The yellow Sapporo branded motorcycle under the sushi bar was the centerpiece of the eatery and a cool addition - maybe it belongs to the owner. Sapporo is a light crisp 5% abv lager and the oldest beer brand in Japan. The ultra colorful wall mural brought some Japanese cartoony anime into the main dining room next to our table. Slightly pricey but the sushi was super fresh with big portions. The waiter was attentive and quick to take our order with apps and drinks out fast but we were a big party so it took a bit to bring the main dishes but everything was "made to order". If you're searching for good sushi that does not cause stomach cramps later, then try this place.

The Thai Salad with tofu came with the BEST PEANUT SAUCE dressing ever, I didn't waste one drop. The Pad Thai was not my favorite. Although the rice noodles were perfect light density, the pad Thai sauce was weird to me, just tasted strange compared to a standard pad Thai. I didn't like it, but in all fairness my husband thought it was good. So maybe it's just me. Overall they have an extensive menu with so many options. I'll definitely come back to try something else, and get more of that peanut sauce!

My daughter got her usual shrimp tacos, my husband got his usual, the Kogi burrito and our friend got the Kogi tacos. We all enjoyed our food. My husband did say his burrito wasn't the same as usual though. He said it was lacking something. Maybe just an off day. We'll definitely be back, as usual.

We had an eclair of the day and it was brilliant. We also had one of their breakfast meals - smoked salmon eggs Benedict with potatoes. That one is a bomb!!! Also, try their specialty coffee drinks. I can't remember exactly what was in mine, but it was the best coffee I've ever had. The service was really good, we had a very nice waitress. When I was there they were still doing some construction work, I assume expanding, but the place inside is nice and cozy. Make sure to get there earlier as you'll have to wait for a table in the morning. Afternoons seemed not that busy.

For the third course we both had the Halibut with potatoes and kimchi, wildly the flavors worked so well together.

The food is excellent--flavorful, thoughtfully prepared, and consistently satisfying--but what truly sets this place apart is the service, especially when you're seated at the bar. As a bar guest, I experienced something far above exceptional. It felt like walking into a place I already loved and being shown the very best of it by people who genuinely care. To the bartenders and staff who made every visit feel that way: Dairy-ah (I'm almost certainly butchering the spelling, but the pronunciation stuck with me), thank you for the warmth, the skill, and the way you made the bar feel welcoming every time. Lucy--always with the hat on backwards--you became my spirit animal the moment I realized how perfectly that energy matched the whole vibe of the place. Thank you for being exactly who you are behind that bar. Brittney, the chillest of them all: your calm, easy presence made everything feel lighter and better. Chelsea, I only got to have you serve me once, but that one time was enough to know how good you are at this. And to the Servers, Paul and Lola: even in our brief interactions while I was at the bar, both of you brought such strong, genuine personalities that it elevated the whole experience. Thank you for that. Blue Heaven is an amazing restaurant with great food and even greater service. But more than that, it's the people who make it feel like coming home and being shown the best time in a place you love the most. Thank you--truly--to all of you for making it feel that way. And to Henry, a longtime regular at the bar, who passed away during my visit. "His" presence was clearly part of the fabric of this place, and I'm grateful I got to share that space, however briefly, with the people who knew and cared for him. Thank You All, and sorry if I didn't list your name in this review because there were far more of you than I've mentioned, just Know my early mornings sitting at the Blue Heavens Bar, was the highlight of everyday I spent in Key West.

Overall this visit really fell short. Our waiter was not attentive at all and we made it clear we would be ordering cocktails, bottles of wine, appetizers and meals as well as dessert as it was a celebration dinner. He ignored us all evening and we had to flag down other people to help get drinks and food. We sat outside being eaten by no-see-ums while waiting for any attention, so it was frustrating from the start. We ordered the Smokey dick and it had a terrible after taste. The bbq shrimp appetizers were not amazing either. My filet was uncooked and I had to send back as so rare I could not cut into it. It came back then rare with just brown outside layer. We ended the evening with the key lime pie as it is highly publicized and we were incredibly underwhelmed at that point. All in all a terrible experience.
