    Our dinner experience was amazing. We celebrated our anniversary and they had it printed on the menu. The food was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Our waiter greeted us by our name as soon as he came to our table to introduce himself. You don’t get that kind of personal service at other places.

    Birthday get together with friends. Our waiter was excellent and provided great service and recommendations. Very attentive and made the birthday special with personalized menu and complimentary birthday key lime mousse. Raw Oysters were OK, maybe early in the season. Everyone’s dishes were excellent and I was very happy with my sea bass. Portions were OK given price but sides were separate and absolutely needed to fill out a meal.

    The Redfish and Seabass were outstanding, the truffle fries were very good and so was the Lobster Mac and Cheese. The only we had that was not good was the East 2 Oysters, they were very fishy.

    We were celebrating my Best-friend’s birthdayi put it in the reservation, but it wasn’t acknowledged, I wanted to surprise her at the end. But instead at the end the bill came no wow factor, that was a lil disappointing. However dinner was superb , from the red fish with the huge prawns to the Seabass so flaky and flavorful and lastly 2 huge crab cakes ! Lobster macaroni, creamy potatoes, and broccolini for our side’s delicious! Sealed the deal with a round of cappuccinos and the bread pudding.

    My boyfriend made reservations for my birthday at Gatsby seafood. It was on a Tuesday night so not a crowd . After being seated we received the menus that said Happy Birthday Stephanie nice personal touch. The waiter Thomas excellent. I tried his recommendations red snapper on half shell with a topper creamed spinach and a cocktail he had the salmon everything was PERFECT. They even surprised me with their version of Key Lime pie I also had the bread pudding ( I like desserts). Definitely will go back on a busier night to see if everything is the same. Y’all enjoy and ask for Thomas

    It’s an Instagram picture perfect spot to go but they lack training service. I was expecting to be served what I saw on videos and pictures, and my plate was something else. Very disappointed.

    There is a problem with the kitchen. Entrees took forever to get to the table. I would not return until that is fixed. The food, however, is excellent.

    My wife and I had an amazing Pre-Valentine’s dinner last Saturday at Gatsby’s Prime Seafood. Our server Nick was very helpful and phenomenal overall. A+ service! Be mindful that valet parking is their only option and it costs $10. We had a great experience and will be back!

    We stayed for a couple appetizers and cocktails but decided to have cocktails elsewhere. I wish it was more than it was. The marketing made the experience appear really extravagant and high end but it’s really unusual and tacky in person. For the price of the food, at least make the ambiance, level of service, and details match.

    Night out with family and friends. Drink selection was great (good bourbons available). We enjoyed the seafood tower with an excellent selection of cold seafood. We enjoyed sea bass and filet mignonette for dinner with fantastic veggies for sides (spinach, broccolini and Brussels sprouts). Flourless Chocolate cake, berries with cream and coffees all around. Great night, great atmosphere, great food.

    Nathan was the best. Great recommendations for drinks and food. Music was fine but a little too loud. The entire staff was great. Food was outstanding. The spinach salad and corn brûlée you shouldn’t miss. The anniversary was special but I won’t tell you how they handled it. It was special. Our new go to place for special occasions.

    My friend and I really enjoyed our meals. I opted for the Halibut with a shrimp topper - it was delish. My friend went with Sea Bass, her topper was a caviar buerre - also delish. We shared 2 sides - brussel sprouts and something like a creamed corn with a brulee crust, the brussels were good and my friend enjoyed the corn (not my thing). We had a nice bottle of wine with dinner. Overall, we were pretty pleased. The atmosphere for a Thursday seemed light so in some way I think the servers and bus people were hovering a bit too much. If we took a sip of water or wine, someone was there to pour the sip back into the glass. Not my favorite thing but I suppose better than having to wait. The restaurant is a bit dark but overall nicely decorated. And last but not least - it was a bit pricey. I would still go back I think for a special occasion.

    Just a simple date night out. Everything was great, the food and our server. The only thing, and I’m not trying to not pick…. With the prices on the menu, no table in the room should be off balance so bad, that we had to continually watch how we placed our drinks. It was corrected mid through…. And, also, table clothes… should definitely add the table cloths for the experience.
