Seafood
Reel Fish Coastal Kitchen & Bar is a contemporary version of a classic fish camp, serving fresh Florida seafood prepared in a southern style and served in a casual, family friendly environment.

The restaurant’s daily blackboard specials and core recipes feature creative takes on fresh-caught fish not typically found on many inland-Florida seafood restaurant menus, including tile fish, trigger fish, sheepshead, hogfish and other local species. The Reel Fish menu includes signature classics like fried seafood platters, shrimp & creamy cheese grits, whole fried market fish, such as yellow tail snapper, and Low Country Boils featuring shrimp, PEI mussels, scallops and snow crab legs.

Central to the restaurant is a raw bar serving oysters on the half shell, broiled, steamed and Rockefeller, as well as ceviche and peel & eat wild-caught Florida shrimp.

    Our server was our bartender and he was so quick and friendly. The happy hour menu is decent and the food is just so fresh and always delicious. The restaurant was rather quiet for happy hour and that made it so enjoyable for us. This was going to be our final chance of giving Reel Fish a try because we have had 3 prior terrible experiences with food. This time it was amazing all around and they delivered on every single item and customer service. So now, we have decided to make this out every Thursday night date night. We hope for many more amazing meals! We are HOOKED!

    Our food and server Nathalie were very good. We waited 20 minutes after our reservation time to be seated despite having reservations for 20 minutes earlier and getting there 10 minutes before our reservation and were told we would be seated around our reservation time. The place was very noisy otherwise.

    This was a first time for me and I loved it. I got the pecan encrusted trout which was amazing. It came with green beans cooked in an onion bacon broth which was ridiculously good. My sister got the gumbo and said it was one the best gumbo's she's had. Eddie our server was effecient and super friendly. The portions were very generous neither of us were able to clear our plates. The drinks were unique and very strong. I liked that they had stuff I've not had before. I got the lightening bug which was refreshing as long as you like floral flavors. It comes with a buzz button which is an edible flower this was probably the only thing I didn't love as it felt rather odd. But overall one of the better dining experiences I've had.

    Service and food were excellent as always. But the kitchen seemed a bit slow on the Sunday we’re there. And I think there were only three parties at that point.

    GF rolls were hard, but the black bean burger was delish! Others in the party said the fish was amazing… veggies were a little undercooked… a lot crunch. Noise level made it hard to have a conversation and hear each other. I would recommend to others that love fish.

    The food was nicely done. My wife had the swordfish, which was much flakier than you would expect especially for a piece that size. I had the trout; 2 filets with a nice outer coating that gave them a pleasant crunch. However, they weren’t as flavorful as I had hoped. The trout (dip)? Was outstanding as well as the shrimp appetizer. Both were large portions. And finally, the carrot cake was moist and fresh. Our server, Nicole, did an excellent job. The his was a very enjoyable visit and we will be back.

    Upon arriving the person at the front reception counter was not very inviting or friendly, when I requested a table in the bar. I ordered the Magical dining, and fish spread appetizer was excellent, the cioppino was rather blan and the soup over linquini was just ok. The Coconut cake was not great either.

    Seated 15mm after reservation time. Ordered immediately. Took 1/2 hour for appetizers. Took 1 hr From time of ordering for main course. Waiter told us kitchen was backed up. Hostess told us they were giving us time between courses, so not true. Specialty drink missing main ingredient. Waiter didn’t check back to see how food was or if we wanted more drinks. We arrived 6:25 for 6:30 reservation and left at 8:45 pm. Without finishing dessert. We missed our next plans for the evening. Total 2 hrs for dinner. Last time was 3 hrs. and they were having kitchen issues. There were four of us last time and appetizers came out one at a time. Two of us had the same appetizer. Thought we’d give them another chance, but too many issues.
