Ehhh... Just OK. It's a bar. Sits out on the western part of the Gulf of America. We primarily went there to watch the sunset and have a couple drinks. They were cold, had a local IPA. That was good. Only problem we had was not the server. She was phenomenal. I would've deducted a star if we didn't have a good server. She was the one that made all the difference. Unfortunately there's a lot of people who smoke there. You name it it smoked there. Pot smokers, cigarette smokers. And yeah, it is outside, but the smoke lingers all over. If you can handle the smoke, then this is the place for you to watch the sunset. It's a beautiful location, but the people who show up there especially near the bar. Are you typical bar people. As you can tell, I don't smoke, and I do understand it's outside, but I would say we were surrounded by about four or five people who were chainsmokers. They couldn't give it a rest. The other thing as well is that we had their Keylime pie. That, was surprisingly good. read more

What a beautiful location and the food is every bit as delicious as the location is beautiful stone crab chowder is amazing and everything you want nut chowder. I don't know if I'll be able to eat clam chowder after this. The stone crab chowder was so good... Stone crabs were in season and I could've had nothing but a big bucket of stone crabs Delicious doesn't begin to describe them if you are crab fan The waitress recommended the fresh red snapper blackened tacos when I told her what I was considering again amazing some of the freshest fish I have ever had and the blackened seasoning was perfect not too much just enough to give the flavor I would think you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but give it a try for yourself. We will be back. !!! read more

Excellent ambiance, yet brace yourself for the Southern delight of Florida Keys humidity and heat. Pack your patience and bring your appetite cause they will surely appease everyone's need and taste buds. From their delicious fish dip(no fishy taste ) to their delicious and tasty mahi-mahi - ohh what a filling it was and it hit the spot! Have it your way too btw.. I had mine blackened, with the lettuce and tomato for the toppings. I can still have the taste buds asking for more! For dessert you are in the Florida keys so do yourself a treat and grab a slice of the "famous key lime pie" !! A must have .. so don't delay and head over to Lorelei, did I mention why many people choose this place ?? Well, my apologies, the Sunset view is spectacular!! Amongst the very best in the upper keys! "Hint- their best kept secret! read more

Atmosphere was great, but food was disappointing. Had stone crabs and conch fritters both of which were barely edible. Asked the server what size the claws were and the answer was "the normal size". Conch was overcooked and could not be eaten. Stone crabs claws were small, not well cracked, and meat stuck to the shell. read more

We were greeted by our bartender promptly. Not too busy as it had rained all day. Our drinks were delivered quickly. Nice and cold beer and wine for my cohart. He ordered the blackened grouper. I had the pork sliders as I've eaten fish for three days!!! They were delish. The food came out in a timely manner and was warm. Our server kept up on our needs. We were visiting, so we had heard how great it was. This is a great local place and tourist are very welcome. Friendly servers and locals. We will likely come back if we pass thru again. But check it out to see what all the hype is all about. read more

Great food, service and views. Dog friendly and good service for them . Staff replenished their water repeatedly.

Went in for lunch at 2. Sat at the bar. There for 5 minutes and no acknowledgement. We asked for menus and he put them down and walked away. 5 minutes later a party sat beside us and he greeted them. Gave them menus and acknowledged them. We travelled a way for the alligator lighthouse race, we were tired and hungry, and this place was highly recommended to us and we ended up walking out. Bartender was so blatantly, obviously rude. He was older baldish and very unfriendly to us. Will not recommend and very disappointing. read more

Stopped by on our ride back to the hotel for the happy hour (4-6). Self seating is the style here. Walk in and pick from bar seating or bay front table seating. We opted for the bay front tables. Sadly we weren't great in our 20 mins so didn't get a chance to try their food or drinks. Seemed like a cool vibe. They were having a "magic show" later in the evening. It was a little busy but not full. Menu had several options more on the bar food side, wings, fried this and that. Maybe another time. read more

Great atmosphere, good drink selection , menu not impressive , seating by the water which is nice . Service is good

Great food & service; Xander was very personable & professional. This is also a good spot for a sunset. My only dislike is the plastic STRAWS . Waterfront/waterside restaurants should definitely NOT have plastic straws. You could start with "Straws upon request" until you've restocked your supply with Earth-friendly straws. read more

Great open air spot with one of the best views over the bay by Islamadora. They had live music both days we went. Their fried Mahi Mahi and coleslaw were delicious. They have excellent drinks including a Key Lime pie colada that is crazy good. We were served by Nichole (Chicago) who was very pleasant and gave us great service. A tasty and relaxed spot not to be missed when spending time in the mid Keys. read more

The ambiance was good- outdoor seating on a great night. That is where it stopped. Took a while to get an order in and longer to get served. Second drink was short of impossible. Ordered peel and eat shrimp for group. It was only after we finished the shrimp did we get napkins or plates. Then It took forever to get our main course and it was good and would have been better if it had been at a higher temp. There is a lot of places to get great service and food but not sure this one of them. On top of that we were forced to pay 20% gratuity for a group of 6 or greater. I give them three stars because with a little work and give a heck they could be great but not this evening. read more

There are darn few waterfront restaurants that can even come close to the beautiful views and general setting of Lorelei Bar and Cabana. Its open air, has a boat parking area, close by charters for fishing and actively encourages "catch and release." Though the atmosphere of the place is "party," it's also ideal for "chill and relax." The menu they have is exceptionally extensive in local Key delights; everything from Stone Crab Chowder to Smoked Fish Dip. For me I chose their Cracked Conch which when served consisted of a perfectly tenderized conch, hand breaded, fried and accompanied with their zesty delicious "Out Island Sauce" that had a taste and flavor somewhere between a remoulade and a calypso...totally delicious. read more

We had our rehearsal dinner at Lorelei and I can't recommend the place enough. All communications with Dawn were prompt and pleasant - the venue was lovely. The staff was lovely, the venue was beautiful and the food was AMAZING. If you are looking for a low key, fun rehearsal dinner venue, look no further. read more

We sat at the bar, bartender Alex helped us originally, he ignored us after that, after waving at him several times he came over, we asked for another cocktail and told him we were ready to order food, then he went to the end of the bar and started helping others, we finally waved over the bartender (Taren) from the other end and she was great! Alex continued to ignore us! Food was good except that I ordered twin lobster tails which turned out to be one small lobster cut in half! Other than that food was good, the atmosphere was great. read more

Having a little lunch before lobster mini season . Stopped in . Covid protected place that requires masks and distancing. Sat at bar and service was ok. Not too quick or prompt but very nice ladies. Food was prepared. The salad came with shrimp not the snapper and the server quickly fixed it without even asking us. She did ask if we had shrimp allergies, this was to avoid any cross contamination. Well played!! Sandwich was tough not not tenderized enough. But over all food was good. Ketchup came in small packets and not a brand I like(Heinz) but it worked . Will come back again as usual. Live laugh and be safe mask up read more

We were driving home from Key West and decided to stop at this place as we've been here before for drinks. They have great food and great drinks. It's in a special spot right on the water and is an awesome place just to chill and relax and soak in the essence of the keys. We decided to try the lobster special and split it since we weren't that hungry. The lobster was fresh, cooked to perfection and delicious along with the rice and vegetables. I washed it down with a ice cold beer and a glass of wine and continued our journey north. We will definitely be coming back to this beautiful spot for more beautiful views and great food and drink. read more

Great "Locals" kind of place. Great food, good service, live music on a Monday night, not highbrow - down to earth

Not very impressive-Though the key lime coolata was great. IF we came back here, it would be for drinks and stone crab chowder & that's about it. The service was lacking and not attentive. One member of our party didn't like her entree at all, as in her plate was still completely full & told the server that it was not at all good when the server asked if she needed a to-go box. The server completely disregarded the comment and didn't respond at all. I had the key lime snapper and found it to be very bland/very lacking in flavor. Definitely not worth the $26. The fish sandwich was very bland as well. We were also swarmed with flies the entire meal. I realize that this is outside dining, but we dine outside frequently and have never experienced a fly problem like this. read more

Extremely disappointed. We've been there in the past and had a good experience. we waited over two hours before checking in and finding out that the pagers weren't working properly and they paged us 40 min ago. Then we get seated and 40 min after ordering the waitress let us know that the kitchen lost our order and that they would put it in as soon as they could. We waited another 15 minutes and left. We won't be returning. It's not worth the wait or aggravation for average food. There are better options in Islamorada. read more

Best Key Lime Colada ever! They were so delicious! Totally recommend having one! 2 to be on the safe side!

Angelia our bartender was amazing. Very attentive and super friendly. An asset to Lorelei.

I ordered the steak and it was dry and full of fat, had absolutely no flavor what so ever as a matter of fact dirt has more flavor than this steak. The fries were extremely greasy, and I tried the fish and it left a horrible taste in my mouth. I would rather go to McDonald's 10 out of 10 times. I would rather sit at home and Clip my toe nails for three hours straight than ever return to this restaurant. If you want a nice view go to the beach. If you want a preview on how the food tastes, go visit a local trash disposal. As a matter of fact I rather eat a stink bug than eat at this restaurant again. Not to mention the annoying seagulls swarming the place. read more

This place is shit. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. The owners are pos and don't care about tourism . The food you can make yourself. I had a lady provoking me. Claiming to be the owner. I was like bye lady I been coming to this place long I have never been disrespected like this. I spoke to the manager they have one day to make it right. I want nothing. Thank just want what lorelai is.so do your research they ain't shitthis place sucks . read more

I have been to Lorelei's several times so I'm familiar with the place. Shaggy our server needs to retire. He dropped menus at our table and that was it for the night. Anything we wanted I had to get up and go find him or scream at him when he walked by which was roughly every 20 minutes. He is the worst waiter I've ever dealt with and it's obvious that he no longer enjoys working with the public. They are getting by on their location, which is awesome, but that's it. Great sunset with or without cloud cover. Go for drinks or an app, but if Shaggy is on your table move for sure cuz he is an A hole! read more

Went here on last day of vacation during the keys mandatory mask wearing for covid19. Was not impressed. They place is fully outdoors with a covered roof and they had tables 6feet separate for the most part so we felt fine with going. I ordered fish sandwich and it came with crispy burnt sweet potato fries. Gross. The sandwich was about a 4 out of 10. Layer of cheese on the fish was as thick as the cheese. There was is short straight hair on my cheese. Gross. My water with lemon had a slight pink tint to it so I ordered a ginger ale which they never asked if I wanted a refill. When we were leaving and out of the roof area which was 10 feet from our table, a worker there yelled at us for not wearing our masks. We were 20 feet from our car. She forced us to wear a mask that she handed us. According to the law you do not have to wear a mask outside. It was not a good experience and the food was meh. Will not be going back. read more
