It’s decent food but definitely over priced. I will go again but not for steak or crab legs. I could have went somewhere else with just as good food for half the price. When I pay 55 dollars for a steak it should be a nice dress up restaurant. But they had live entertainment which was nice.

The food was amazing with a wonderful brunch menu assortment! We were seated immediately and our server came right away. She would get busy with other tables and at 1 point a young man happened by and saw my mimosa glass was empty and asked if he could get me another. Everything was perfect! We will make it a standing 10:15 reservation!

The French toast compote was amazing. Cornbread and grits were really good. Unfortunately the eggs and bacon were not. Asked for eggs scrambled soft and it was a dry omelet cut up and the bacon was really crunchy (I know it is a personal preference) It is a small up of coffee and the waitress only filled it half way. We got tired of asking to fill it up on refills. Either ran out of cream or sugar or both numerous times and the waitress was nowhere to be found so buy the time we got it the coffee was cold. Great for dinner and will continue coming for that, but breakfast was pricey and not good with bad service...bad combo. We got there at 10a and there were not a lot of people at the time so I really do not understand it. Maybe this experience was a one-off.
Fantail Seafood & SteakhouseResponded on April 26, 2023Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the French toast compote, cornbread, and grits. We apologize for the issues with the eggs, bacon, coffee, and service during your breakfast. We'll work to improve these areas to ensure a better experience in the future.

This visit was for my wife's birthday (2/25). We ate here for my birthday back on 11/7. I think we got spoiled on the earlier trip because everything was FANTASTIC last November. The more recent trip...I was somewhat disappointed. I had reservations. We were seated immediately at a very small table that was set up against one the building's support posts. I felt kind of stuffed in to it instead of having a little more space. We ordered the exact same ribeye steak as last time; the 16oz+ for $49. About a fifth of the steak either had a tendon or very hard gristle that the knife had a hard time cutting through. The flavor was good, but that portion of the steak was hard to swallow...pun intended. I didn't say anything because I'm the type of person to suck it up as long as it isn't a total waste; that's the military in me. Anyway, I was disappointed in the most recent visit because the first visit was absolutely amazing. I will go back, but probably make sure I say something to the server about our last steak to make sure they are aware of our previous experience and concerns.
Fantail Seafood & SteakhouseResponded on March 12, 2023Thank you for choosing to celebrate your wife's birthday at Fantail Seafood & Steakhouse. We apologize for the disappointments you experienced during your visit. We appreciate your honest feedback and will be addressing the issues mentioned to ensure we are providing the highest quality food and service to all guests. We hope to have the opportunity to make it up to you on your next visit.

Walk in's are turned away because they are told all tables, even those that are not seated, are all reserved. This includes bar seating. The first time (a few weeks ago) we were there and turned away due to "reserved seating" we were very angry. Many open tables. Went outside, made a reservation, came back in, and was seated all within 20 minuets. The dining area has two separate parts off of the main entrance hall. The walk in's should have seating on one side and the reserved should be on the other. Food, both times, was good. The greens and beans are VERY salty, but the steak, chicken, scallops, and shrimp were all cooked perfect. The table arrangement had some couples sitting a little closer than one would like. We had to ask that our, sitting too close, neighbor table be asked to not vape inside but over all it was nice and we do recommend. Just don't go without reservations, you will get told 1 - 1 & 1/2 hours on wait time because all of those open tables are reserved. Plus side, reserved table is seated at reserved time, no waiting for our table to be cleaned or set up.
Fantail Seafood & SteakhouseResponded on March 12, 2023Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced with our reservation system. We will take your suggestions into consideration in order to improve our table arrangement and ensure that walk-ins are not turned away unnecessarily. We appreciate your kind words about our food and are glad that you enjoyed your meals with us. We hope to see you again soon at Fantail Seafood & Steakhouse!

The staff was absolutely amazing and attentive! The Mac & Cheese in the kettle was ok, on the bland side, okra was delicious, steak was amazing. Corn fritters that they had on the tables with the butter could be a little less greasy but yummy is the word.

Was originally was going to be right in front of the band but wasn’t playing at the time. We were seated in a different area. When the band started playing and if I and my family were seated in front of band, I would have complained and probably would have given very low scores in all categories if sat in front of band. Way to loud even at location we sat.
Fantail Seafood & SteakhouseResponded on March 12, 2023It's understandable that the loudness of the band could have negatively impacted your dining experience. It's good that you were seated in a different area and that you didn't have to endure the noise. It would be helpful to the restaurant if you mention your preference for a quieter seating area in your reservation, or communicate it to the hostess upon arrival.

Ribeye and catfish was great. Live music was good, but too loud to hear each other.
Fantail Seafood & SteakhouseResponded on March 12, 2023Glad to hear that you enjoyed the ribeye and catfish! However, it's unfortunate that the live music was too loud and made it difficult to have conversations. Perhaps next time you could ask the staff if they can adjust the volume to make it more comfortable for diners.

Great food, excellent service, can't wait to go back when there's not such loud live music.
Fantail Seafood & SteakhouseResponded on March 12, 2023It's great to hear that you enjoyed the food and service at the restaurant. However, it seems like the loud live music was a bit of a drawback for you. Perhaps you can consider visiting the restaurant during non-live music hours for a more relaxed dining experience.

Excellent service, shrimp very good. Triggerfish overcooked. 2nd time we have ordered so Triggerfish consistently overcooked and tough. All other food items very good. Noise level too high with live entertainment in that building.
Fantail Seafood & SteakhouseResponded on March 12, 2023The service was excellent and the shrimp dish was very good. However, the triggerfish was overcooked and tough, which has been consistently the case in the past. The other food items were very good. The noise level was also too high due to the live entertainment in the building.

The Fantail is a nice seafood/steak restaurant. We like the seafood, especially the fried Grouper. Their oysters are fresh and tasty on the half shell. The hush puppies with butter are a tasty starter. Nice family place with fun decor.

The food was really good. Our server was awful she completely forgot about our table 3 times. My bill was $155.00 I expect spending that kind of money for 2 people to have dinner you would have exceptional service. I asked for 2 to go boxes for our seafood platters we had over half of both of them to take home. She took one of the platters from the table and threw in the trash ($40 seafood platter). I live in Atlanta and took my dad here for a nice dinner needless to say the service was so bad I don't care how good the food was we won't be visiting again.
Fantail Seafood & SteakhouseResponded on March 12, 2023We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our food, but we're sorry to hear that your experience with our server did not meet your expectations.
