    The venue was lovely Service was okay. My issue lies with the quality of the food We got a seafood boil with lobster and prawns. Both just came with that type of fish and nothing else. The major issue was the potatoes and sauce. There was zero seasoning. Absolutely no taste from either . I would not serve it at home to my kids.

    Fried green tomatoes were among the best I’ve ever tasted. Mahi was incredibly dry, hard to chew, which fish shouldn’t be. As a native Floridian, I understand that Mahi is a meaty instead of flaky fish, but this was definitely overcooked. The restaurant was packed and it was very hard to hear our guests as sound bounces off floor and ceiling. Could be easily remedied with sound baffles designed to fit decor.

    This restaurant is so tasty. I went with a group of friends and We started with the crab fries. I got the stuffed cod which was fantastic. I would get that dish again. My friends got the scallops and shrimp pasta and it all looked amazing. Service was fantastic and the ambience of the restaurant is unique and fun with all the different dining rooms throughout the boat. 10/10 - I will be back again in the future.

    The food was flavorless and overpriced. The rice was literally the nastiest rice I’ve ever eaten in my life. The grouper was very dry and flavorless. 0 stars.

    Would highly recommend Paddlefish! The food, location, and service were outstanding. Out waitress was great, and very patient with our 4 and 7 year olds. Everything she recommended was awesome. They had great menus! We may make another reservation when we return from our cruise.
