The staff was friendly, and the service was quick, making it an all-around great spot to hang out. If you're looking for a no-frills place with great food and drinks, Blackwater Siren is definitely worth checking out!

They let us go stand out back while watching the sunset and offered to get us drinks. And the food was exceptional. 2 of us ordered the coconut shrimp and one ordered the Harvey (server's recommendation). Those were up there with some of the best coconut shrimp I've ever had. The shrimp were JUMBO and the portion was generous. The steak fries needed salt, but all in all - delicious! My friend who ordered the Harvey said it was awesome too. Would definitely return!

Food is good. Service not so much. We've been coming to Key Largo for many years, Hobos as well…read more The food is good. But the past few times, service was lacking. Not sure if it's because we are a large party 10 or more, or what? Our last visit was a Sunday evening in early July . We ate outside. Waiter was good at getting water out to everyone. But when it came to drink orders we must have waited 15-20 minutes for him to take our drink orders. I had to ask him to take my appetizer order. We had to ask several times for our drinks - soft drinks- not alcoholic. They were not good at cleaning our dirty appetizer plates away after delivering dinner leaving the table crowded. I think what I found most annoying was watching our server and another server standing around while we were waiting for drinks, for order taking, for refills, etc. There was just no attention being paid to us. Maybe the guy was new? Not sure. The restaurant wasn't very busy so that wasn't the excuse. I've heard it's difficult to get good help in the Keys. Cost a lot to live here. Most commute from Homestead. Anyway- good for the food - don't expect great service. Ironically I did over tip. I was a server in college so I try to be generous.

We had a disappointing lunch here…read more We were in the keys specifically to enjoy Florida lobster season which started last week. As we were getting ready to head home, I had read in their ad in the local newspaper that they featured fresh Florida lobster. So I delayed our departure a couple hours just to make sure we stopped here for lunch. The restaurant has an outside bar and patio dining plus inside a/c dining. We chose to sit in the inside. I'd asked the server what Florida lobster dishes they offered and the prices. She said they had two -- lobster bites and a lobster tail. I order the tail with sweet potato fries as my side. When the meal came, I saw that what was delivered was NOT fresh Florida lobster. The manager (?) told me they hadn't pulled the traps yet and didn't have any Florida lobster -- which was strange as it was almost a week into the season and their two ads touted it. Anyhow, he suggested the snapper instead and I chose the coconut yellowtail sandwich from their specials. This was barely edible -- over fried, over cooked, and dried out. I took only a couple bites and coins t even eat the rest. Meanwhile, my husband had ordered the cracked conch appetizer. We've had this all over Florida (he's a native) and in the Carribean. This version was quite different. It had large square pieces of conch in a heavy fried batter. I would not recommend this dish, either.

First impression: no ketchup for the side of fries and no utensils for the large Greek salad. Annoying, but everything looked tasty. Unfortunately, chicken souvlaki was so dry and pork souvlaki was so incredibly salty, I ate one skewer and tossed the second one. It tasted like it was cured meat and not at all what I wanted. Greek salad was overpowered with feta, I gulped down water from all the salt. Hummus was nothing spectacular either. Not salty (thank goodness), but nowhere near as good as the homemade hummus I can make myself. Maybe I should have ordered gyros, def avoid the souvlaki!

And all their dining areas are outside. They had a piano player/singer while we were there. He was talented, but a bit too loud, so conversation was a tad difficult. I ordered the lobster ravioli. It came with a creamy, thick pink sauce. There were also some nice sized grilled shrimp on top. My husband had the frito mixto appetizer -- fried calamari with fried shrimp and fried zucchini -- as his entree. It came with a small container of tomato sauce for dipping. The portion was large. It looked quite good. For dessert, I had a slice of torta della Nonna. It is one of my favorite Italian desserts. It was listed on their website, but not on their menu, so I was happy to see they had it. Imported from Italy, it was exactly as it should be. And a nice light, but not too sweet dessert.

Best decision I've made in awhile.

First we need to talk about their muffins, huge selection and amazing. We took some to go they were so good. We had two as an appetizer lemon blueberry and upside down pineapple. Yummy.

We will be back and you should make a stop if you are in area.

The food here was very good. See below why I took off one star…read more I'd read about this place. It's off the main highway. It looks a bit ramshackle from the outside. But it is worth the detour. We sat at the bar, inside, with a view of the kitchen and cook, but I'd recommend sitting outside if it's not too hot and weather permits. That's a much better view. We started with their fried asparagus appetizer. The stalks were quite thin, and the portion small, but what we had was delicious. Especially tasty when dipped in the horseradish sauce. I'd get this again! After that we shared their fish dish. Two scoops on a plate with chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, and chopped green pepper. The cutest heart shaped crackers came with the dip. We had leftover dip so we took it home with us (in our cooler). We enjoyed it on toast later on. So the very good? The food. The not so good? The kitchen looked grungy and the ladies room was a mess. Would we come here again? Yes, but we'd sit outside.

Next up was the in house smoked fish dip, two large generous scoops, crackers, diced green bell peppers. Tomatoes and onions. A tasty combination. Rustic atmosphere and smiling bartender makes you feel at home. If you sit at the bar, just try not to look into the kitchen.

The scenery is exactly what you'd expect in the Keys: beautiful waterfront views and a laid-back island atmosphere. Our main focus is always the cocktails, and my absolute favorite is the Key Lime Colada. It's a must-order every single visit! I'm a huge piña colada fan and have never really been much of a Key lime pie person, but somehow the combination of the two is absolutely amazing. The vibe here is super relaxed. We've arrived both by boat and by car, and no matter how we get here, it's always one of our first stops. On our very first visit, we paid for a day pass to use the pool, but the prices have gone up quite a bit over the years, so we usually skip that now. They often have live music, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and the smell of the stone-fired pizzas hits you the moment you walk inside. The indoor space is surprisingly large, and there's also a small gift shop where you can pick up a T-shirt or souvenir to remember your trip. If you're heading to the Florida Keys, I definitely recommend adding this place to your itinerary. Great drinks, beautiful views, and a fun, relaxing atmosphere make it a stop we look forward to every single year.
