Our waitress was attentive, kind, and even with a lot of customers on her plate, she handled us with equal care and attention. She was so sweet and reminded us to hydrate on these blistering hot Florida days. The food overall I just feel like was mediocre, you pay what you get for type of situation. Nothing out of this world, greasy sausages and ham, etc. Kind of like a Denny's. Ambiance was nice, the place has an old-school charm. Tables were clean, oldies were playing. Lovely space. I would come again if I needed something quick and fast, otherwise I don't see myself eating here.

We had kind of an odd experience that marred our time here and I will be very clear that's not the…read morerestaurant's fault but it marred our one visit here. We booked a sunset dinner for our 6th wedding anniversary on the patio which was also the final night of our key west trip. We did let them know when we called to ale the reservation so they were aware it was a special evening for us (you can't make reservations online-you do have to call) so we were hoping we would get a good table with a view of the water and sunset. Unfortunately that was not the case. That's fine. You can't always accommodate that and we understand. We said nothing. We were placed at a very intimate table sort of in a corner by a wall. There was another table, of a very similar set up in the adjoining corner. The set up wasn't great as our chairs were close enough to touch if both pulled out at the same time. But we didn't say anything and just accepted it as it was the off season and it was possible no one would be seated there. Our server could not have been friendlier, more kind or knowledgeable about the menus and specials. I have a stomach condition so dining out is not without it potential headaches so for me that was really special. She warned me off of my initial choice after hearing my special needs and suggested something that Snead similar but maybe more appropriate for my needs without making me feel uncomfortable. Truly well handled. Our food was good. The key like pie was good. We like it very cold and very limy so not our favorite but no where near the worst we had. They left off an iffy sauce for me and my husband who had a fish dish raved about his. There was nothing showy about the congratulation dessert just very dignified. Unfortunately about half way through the evening another couple was seated at that adjoining corner table. They had clearly been drinking before being seated as they were loud from the get go and one walked in with a drinks in hand. They continued to be loud all evening. They were a bit belligerent. They were clearly not having a good time as they were bickering (not in a cute way playful way-in a way that made us feel like they should be having this conversation in a private setting) quite a bit of profanity. They clearly were listing to our table because as we stood to leave they congratulated us and said "happy anniversary" which was sweet but also...you still behaved that way while know this? Come on. It just marred the evening. However, I am fully aware that this is a very specific experience that likely would not happen to anyone else and is in no way the restaurants fault.

Blue Heaven is one of those rare places that feels less like a restaurant and more like a second…read morehome you somehow never knew you'd been missing. 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.

We were promptly seated upstairs on a busy Sunday morning. The older home offered charm and character in its dining spaces which we always appreciate.

The portion sizes were perfect and the prices were fair. Be sure to consider this great restaurant for breakfast, lunch and or dinner while visiting Key West!

He was going to leave tip on the table (as boomers do) but the server literally brought back the check said "tip is not included" and dropped it back on the table. We counted the money like 4 times because we thought we had miscounted the bill but nope. She simply refused to check us out until she saw her tip included in the folder. Wonder what she would have done if we hadn't paid with exact change? Would she have just kept the change and not said anything? Very weirdo behavior!

I've been to El Siboney a number of times over the years and am finally getting around to writing…read morethis review. The restaurant is tucked away on a back street, far from the usual tourist spots, which adds to its charm. The food is authentic Cuban cuisine -- and I say that after decades of living in and around Hudson County, NJ, where the Cuban community is large and vibrant. At El Siboney, everything tastes fresh and homemade, with generous portions and prices that are refreshingly reasonable for Key West. This visit, I ordered the whole fried yellow snapper, served with yuca, yellow rice, and beans. My dinner companion had the Siboney skirt steak, one of the restaurant's popular dishes, served with a choice of sides. Both meals were excellent. Dessert was equally impressive: a delicious slice of tres leches cake and silky vanilla custard that were the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. Dinner for two, including dessert and tip, came to about $100 -- a great value for the quality and quantity of food. El Siboney remains one of my favorite places to eat in Key West.

The desserts looked absolutely amazing, but Hemingway's ghost and I decided to save room for some stronger spirits instead. The prices were very fair, and I would happily return to try the desserts, preferably when the ghost of Hemingway is somewhere else.

Great service at this restaurant. On my most recent visit, the views weren't quite as picturesque because there was a large amount of sargassum (seaweed) along the shoreline. A skid steer was actively pushing it into piles, and the smell was unfortunately pretty strong. That's obviously a natural condition and not really the restaurant's fault, but it did take away from the overall waterfront experience that day. Thankfully, the food was still excellent. The conch fritters are a must-order, and the fish tacos were absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and was served quickly. The restaurant offers all outdoor seating with views of the beach and the neighboring hotel's sandy beachfront, complete with lounge chairs and umbrellas, giving it a laid-back Key West vibe. There's also convenient off-street parking nearby, which is a nice bonus. If you're exploring the Southernmost Point and want a casual spot with good food and a relaxing atmosphere, Southernmost Beach Cafe is definitely worth a visit. Hopefully, you'll catch it on a day when the water is clear and free of sargassum so you can fully enjoy the views.

Gabriela took great care of us (we went there THREE times while in Key West - once for dinner, twice for coffee and key lime pie!!). SOOOO good! Hubs had the beef tacos in corn tortillas with black beans and rice and salsa verde and pronounced it all delicious! (I tried the black beans and rice and loved it!). I had a chicken empanada which was great but I loved the arepa stuffed with shredded chicken the best - fabulous with their homemade salsa verde (I would put that on everything!!!). Let me tell you about that ginger mimosa - amazing! They make their own ginger syrup and I loved that it had a little ginger bite and was not overly sweet. While everyone CLAIMS to have "authentic" key lime pie, this one won our vote - no toxic green color and a smooth creamy tangy custard. And not cool whip either. Yum! Hubs said it was as good as his aunt's and that's high praise. The cafe con leche was also perfect.

Came over to Caroline's because it was one of the less crowded spots but still located right there amidst the action.

We were able to get seated right away, however the service was a bit slow and we noticed people around us who were seated after us getting their food well before us. It finally did come and it was solid. Nothing to write home about but a solid option on the strip for some food and drinks.
