    We ordered 2 appetizers, and 4 different meals and everything was disappointing. The calamari basket was half calamari and half jalapeno peppers and the seafood boil was ok but pretty sub par for the price. The shrimp pasta and the stuffed cod were both good. Our server was quick, friendly and helpful though, so she did save the night.

    Using OpenTable, we asked for a specific dining area and a water-view table, Paddlefish acknowledged our request at check-in; we weren't disappointed. The food & service were great.

    Service was great, food was as expected nothing exceptional. Unfortunately our table was located outside the Men’s restroom door which made for a a less than favorable meal.

    Food was really good…got crispy shrimp, calamari and a salad. I do feel like the calamari is a bit overpriced. My main negative Is that the restaurant was dirty. Tables still had crumbs all over as well as the chairs which I did not appreciate.

    Overall, we were very pleased with our meal and service at the Paddlefish. The view we had overlooked the water with the Rainforest Cafe on the opposite side. Our server was excellent! Would return.
