Key West is well-known for its special friends that roam the streets like stray cats, chickens, and roosters. Two outdoor stages are used for local and visiting musicians, usually lightly tapping the pans, or crooning guests with smooth melodies filled with lyrics about the island’s sand and sun. Its small kitchen and a few tables are the only indoor part of the restaurant, while the tree-house bar and most tables are all housed underneath magical, leafy trees that are connected together by twinkling lights. Tree house barīlue Heaven was opened in 1992 by a writer and an artist (in true Key West fashion). When I finally found myself at Blue Heaven, I internally screamed “Yes! This is it!” It was like a fairytale except that it was real and right there all for me (and a few other patrons). It took about 10 seconds for my heart to be completely taken over by the islands bright colors, live music plunging out of every bar window, and its mix of peculiar (but friendly) locals and fellow tourists – some looking for piles of plastic souvenirs and some, like us, looking for our own little piece of paradise. In 2009, I went to Key West for the first time. They talked about the chickens and roosters running around the restaurant yard, the tree-house bar, and most of all, the to-die-for menu that always ends with a sky-high piece of key lime pie.
Yes.” feeling? You know that feeling where you’re in disbelief that so many amazing things could be happening in the same place at the same time and it’s all right in front of you to enjoy? Well, I have found my heaven on earth in a small, open-air restaurant, tucked away on 729 Thomas Street, Key West, Florida.Īt the Blue Heaven gates as a fresh college graduate in 2011!īefore I had been to Blue Heaven, I heard about it from my parents, a lot. And I completely understand how the original poster could feel so upset about this.Is there a place that you’ve traveled to that when you land, dock, or walk through the doors that you get that instant “Yes. Afterall, again, this a forum for opinions, discussion and recommendations (good and bad). But that doesn't mean Pjk did anything wrong. From Bonez's post, appears there are already some ill feelings with BH on his part, which he is entitled to. How BH chose to handle it also shows they didn't seem to handle it well-including not posting their own response or apologies here or helping her find a new place. Yes, it confirms the original poster but also lends the perspective of how the mistake happened. Pjk is perfectly within his rights to post the response she gave. Pjk was curious, asked and Joan volunteered the information. I don't see anything wrong with Pjk's post. They just lost 50+ potential customers for life, and I will make sure to tell every person I meet about this experience. I would never, EVER, give Blue Heaven a cent of my money ever again. In calling around, we are finding out most places are already booked. We are 6 months out from our wedding now, invitations have to be ordered by month end, and we have no place for our 50+ person wedding.

While this is lovely for the staff, what about the PAYING CUSTOMERS who helped make this cruise possible?! Joan had a very indifferent attitude about the whole thing (why wouldn't she, she's getting a free cruise) and that was that. As it turns out, the owners were going to take the staff on a cruise. I called today, so I could find out the situation, where she told me yes, they were canceling on us. I waited two days, never heard from Blue Heaven at all. She said she would be getting back to me later on to let me know what's going on for sure. It was then she informed me they may be closed, and may have to cancel our booking. Had our reception booked months ago at Blue Heaven in Key West.we got engaged in December and loved the place so much we wanted to have our guests at our wedding experience it also.Ĭalled two days ago to speak to Joan at Blue Heaven to confirm our dinner options, as we have to order the invitations this month.
