   Our server Simone gave excellent service. Everything we ate was delicious.. The carrot cake is the best I've ever had. I've been dining there for years and the food and service are consistently great. It was a pleasure to have Ron, the owner, come to our table, ask how everything was, and for us to give him positive feedback. Keep up the great work. We'll definitely be back. Thanks again!

   Good food, excellent service. Frank's smoked trout fish "dip" is not to be missed.

   First time here, and we are so glad we went! The swordfish was really good, well worth splurging for. Partner had the rigatoni, and it was delicious. Service was prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Will definitely return.

   We ordered Oyster appetizer, Salmom, and swordfish. Appetizer was great. Entrees never arrived after waiting 45 minutes. The couple directly to my right who arrived 30 minutes after us ordered appetizer and exact same entree as mine. They received their entrees before my wife and I. We left without ever getting our entrees. I spoke to the manager who was very apologetic but my wife and I were too upset to stay to finish dinner. The manager did offer a $25 gift card but unfortunately the damage was done.

   Went for Happy hour with my husband, made a reservation, which is a must, they get busy. Our server was great, the kitchen took a very long time to make a couple of our dishes (probably overlooked) and the manager was kind enough to comp those items, which we appreciate. We come here often for happy hour/dinner, food is always good, service also, the food can take time and might not always be right.

   On our previous visit (of many) the service was spotty and it took forever to get our food. But we love Reel Fish and I wanted to celebrate my birthday there so I was very happy that this time everything was great. My only complaint is that the fish dip appetizer, which is wonderful, was $16.00 which I feel is quite high for what is really only enough for two people. It's our favorite appetizer but we won't be getting it again. Otherwise, it's a great restaurant and we love going and sharing the experience with friends.

    Enjoyed an early dinner with a longtime friend. She ordered from the Magical Dining Menu - Fried Green Tomatoes, Trout, Carrot Cake and I ordered from the regular menu - Caesar Salad and Low Country Boil with a cocktail. We were seated at a table near the bar. Nicole was our server. She was lovely and made sure we had what we needed during our meal. This is my second time at this restaurant and if you are in the mood for a cozy atmosphere with good seafood and nice options for those who don't like seafood, this is a great choice. Look forward to visiting again!

    My wife and I decided to try out Reel Fish on a Sunday night (probably our first mistake). Was our first time there. I would characterize the ambiance as fish shack chic. Service was perfunctory, yet pleasant. Wife ordered from the Magical Dining menu; I ordered a la carte. The appetizers of fried green tomatoes and the fish chowder were flavorful and probably the highlight of the evening. The rest of what we ordered was far below standards and very disappointing. I ordered blackened Baja-style cod tacos. No seasoning anywhere, no blackening whatsoever, and tortillas were not grilled at all. Cod was rubbery and totally bland. The food was lacking any attention to detail. The other entrée of pecan crusted trout was also bland; it appears the cook forgot to season our entrées that night. The dish comes with green beans that were limp and most likely came out of a can. On a positive note, the service recovery efforts by the owner were textbook, swift, commendable and correct. This is the way management should respond when patrons experience less than satisfactory service and product in their establishments. The price of the tacos was taken off the bill and a gift card issued to compensate for our poor experience. We may try lunch next time to see if there is a difference in our experience. We will not be back for dinner on a Sunday night near closing time.

    Such a fun place for weekend brunch, especially with fresh seafood options like raw oysters, chowders, and shrimp. If you like more traditional brunch items, they have that too! We’ll definitely be returning soon!

    The food was very good. A few of us did the magical dining and the others chose off the menu. We stopped at the bar while we were waiting and the bartenders were outstanding!! Service over all was very good. A bit of a wait getting food but that was expected due the crowd. And we certainly didnt mind waiting. Make sure you have a reservation. I would go there many times in the future

    In the past year and a half the restaurant was improving at all fronts and the food was excellent. This past dinner was very disappointing my daughter and I ordered the sword fish. It was sub quality it was fishy I’ve never had a piece of swordfish that was a quarter of an inch thick. I like spicy food but when you have a piece of fish this thin it’s overwhelming but it was actually somewhat effective at trying to disguise the fishy flavor, I believe it was a frozen fillet , the only way that they could’ve cut it that thin. The clams also were missing some thing from the normal flavor I usually get, the ingredients were just thrown together for a very short time I didn’t have a chance to stew. The service also was not good had to ask for four different items through the dinner, One of our appetizers came out almost 10 minutes after the other two, I had asked for a spoon, extra water and other basic dinner items. Real fish used to be my go to restaurant but I Reluctant to invest another $200 just to see if it was a one off

    We love Reel Fish Coastal for dinner and for Happy Hour! The Happy Hour beverage and food deals are terrific and delicious; our servers always are friendly and fun and go above and beyond (shoutout to Holly and Luis!). Hard to get this quality of seafood anywhere else at reasonable prices. Kudos to Reel Fish Coastal! Those shrimp tacos--yum

    Decided to try Reel Fish with magical dining. This is a great value. Started with Cedar Key Clams & Tasso Toast - fresh local middleneck clams sautéed in a tasso ham sofrito with garlic, fennel, onions, parsley, white wine, grilled ciabatta for dipping, then for entree Pompano Beach Swordfish sustainably caught off Florida's east coast, lightly blackened, poblano cream sauce, Louisiana-style dirty rice (contains pork) and collard greens cooked low & slow with ham hock and for Dessert Carey's Coconut Cake - house-baked, family recipe, rich & creamy, served with love. I also had their Shrimp & Corn Chowder Fresh-shucked corn, wild-caught shrimp, new potatoes, leeks, poblanos, green onions, cream based. The food was very good, the service was mostly good. We did have issues with the kitchen timing delivering the food - Entree came out while we were still finishing the first course, thee dessert took quite a long time to get to us. Overall good experience.

Pretty solid menu, the 2 for 1 special for brunch cocktails is a really great deal. Service was friendly and attentive! Definitely worth the try!
