Blue Heaven
How to book: walk-in — breakfast and lunch (8:00am–2:30pm) are FIRST-COME with no reservations; the play is to arrive early (near opening) to beat the high-season line, especially on cruise-ship days. Dinner (5:00–10:00) takes walk-ins plus a limited number of phone reservations — call ahead for dinner if you want a held table. Expect a wait at peak breakfast; it's part of the experience.
Best meal: Breakfast — the signature meal: island/Caribbean plates in the rooster-filled courtyard, finished with the famous mile-high key lime pie. Lunch is the calmer alternative; dinner is a fuller menu. Confirm the current menu on site.
Who it’s NOT for: travelers who won't wait in line (breakfast/lunch are first-come and can mean a long queue in season) anyone wanting a quiet/upscale room (it's a lively open-air courtyard with roaming chickens) reservation-only diners for breakfast/lunch (none taken) guests wanting AC/indoor comfort in summer heat
