I have been coming to LoreLei off and on for many years on my way to lower keys...visited again recently and was very impressed....I would rate their conch fritters as some of the best in the keys (which really surprised me)....staff was great and helpful as long as you dont expect it to be something its not, you'll love it...why... more

We dropped in for a quick lunch and quickly found appealing options on the menu. Despite a mix-up with our order, the spinach salad topped with grilled shrimp was as good a meal as we had the whole trip. The setting on the water was a perfect introduction to the Florida sun and a relief from shopping across the street. more

I agree with recent posts, years ago this place was great. On my way to Key West in early March we stopped, I waited 15 minutes, no table service after asking for a server ...., then we moved (walked) to the bar, another 5 minutes, fish was lukewarm, rude and snotty wait staff as well. What a shame. This place... more

We did not eat here, but I wanted to. We walked up to the outdoor seating near sunset. They have a FABULOUS view! I had trouble getting someone to talk to us to explain their system for seating. It seems that you seat yourself. All we could find was a table right next to the speakers. A live band was... more

In December 2007 we were married at the charming and highly recommendable Casa Morada. One day at lunchtime we went to the Lorelei which is the closest restaurant. Our waitress was extremely rude and we will never go back there again. We are diplomats, and as is normal we presented our "sales tax exempt" card when we paid and very... more

We ate dinner there once and twice for happy hour. The staff was friendly and accomidating. Listen to a live band and watched a magic show. Very entertaining. They do get busy later in the evening like after 7 pm. It is a first come first seated/served and you might walk around a bit to get the first table available.... more

Went the first time on a recommendation from a friend in Texas. He was right so we went the next time we were in the Keys. Both times the service was attentive and the food was excellent. The beer isn't the coldest in town but it's cold. The fish sandwich is different most every day. And the peel and eat... more

First off, don't go here if it even looks like rain - there is no indoor seating whatsoever, none at all. It poured and was windy and everyone on the deck got soaked. Finally they put down some plastic thingys, but it was a bit too late. The chairs are all high up director type chairs and are grungy, dilapidated... more

The view at sunset is just perfect. The food is good (not great). However, the staff (particularly certain bartenders) need to improve their attitudes. I love to stop here on my way home from Key West and even drive down occasioanlly from Miami. Frozen drinks and beautiful sunsets should = big tips but several times our bartender just had a... more
