   We were last night with my babies As the moment we got there our table wasn’t ready the hostess took forever to set up our table Then i ordered some rigatoni pasta with chicken It came out with shrimp so i told the server and he said i will fix it But i asked him to take the food with him because of my shrimp allergy i couldn’t eat it So manager showed up and everything but everyone got their food and im still waiting on my food When it came it was all dry and the pasta was hard I couldn’t even eat it the chicken was burnt and dry At the end no one mentioned anything about my son’s birthday i know for them is just one more birthday costumer not to me So if you ask me No im not coming back Terrible!

   It’s unfortunate but we didn’t enjoy our food at all. I had the almond crusted trout that I had to send back because it absolutely no seasoning. No flavor whatsoever.

   The service was very slow. We had to hunt down an available server for water refills as we hadn’t seen our server in 30 min. The food was good but room temp at best. Not hot or even warm. That said, we waited so long for it that we didn’t want to send it back.

   Love everything about this place except they need to create a better area for people waiting for their tables. The walking areas are very narrow and the whole time we felt like we were constantly in the path of servers trying to get by us.

   Plan to wait approximately 15 minutes post your reservation time to be seated. It seems as if this place is always busy. The food is great so I can understand why. I had the shrimp and grits this visit, and it was probably the best I've ever had. I think they made it upon ordering as it took almost 45 minutes to receive it. My friend had already received her soup followed by her shrimp (peel and eat) and rice. That was a little awkward but we were having a good time so that was ok. Other than that, everything was fine and we will go back again.

   We had a wait to be seated in spite of the reservation, and the appetizers were not good, but the main courses and the grace of the manager and service staff more than made up for it. They gave us our choice of a glass of wine and deleted one of the appetizers, without us even making a stink. They made things more than right and we loved our main courses - the seafood was exceptional. We are recreational fishermen with a full freezer of fish. We know good fish and this will bring us back soon. The vibe is busy but fun. Thanks for great service and also to that manager who was observant in seeing us not eating the apps.

    We initially discovered Reel Fish through magical dining, and it quickly became our favorite. We eat there often. The food is always incredible and the freshness and quality of ingredients is evident in the flavor. Even the kids menu is good. Cocktails are great and the wait staff though very busy, try to be as attentive as possible. We’ve never had a bad experience there and the 47 minute drive from St. Cloud is worth it.

    waiter kept coming back to table and asking what our order was three times. He couldn't remember anything properly, still got order wrong on three items : drink order, small instead of large salad, wrong sides. Very slow service and bill was wrong and needed to adjusted: 20% off/Winter park playhouse discount not $3. I have to say, I have brought friends here on previous occasions and never had all these issues. Although the service is on the slow side always. I know what I'm talking about. I put myself through college and grad school working as waitstaff.

    Be prepared to wait. We had a table of 5. 3 of us ordered the same thing and it took an hour to get food. A second glass is wine ordered when food arrived was delivered after the meal.

    They couldn’t bring us water until they got clean glasses. They were out of glassware at 7:30 pm on a Friday night. How does this even happen? Apparently, the head chef left to go to urgent care for a foot issue and the kitchen was backed up. The table next to us and our food took nearly an hour. Management tried to mage it right and I get things happen. Hope chef’s foot/ankle is ok. But not having glasses and offering people food without water (or beverage glasses) makes no sense to me for a restaurant of this level and price point.

    This was our first visit, but it will not be the last. We had a reservation, but due to circumstances we arrived 40 minutes early but were seated within 5 min. Service was attentive and friendly. We shared the smoked trout appetizer and loved it. We all had different main dishes and tasted each others. The food was delicious. The chowder was a little spicy but wonderful. The shrimp rigatoni was ordered spicy and it was. The fish combo platter was fried but with a batter that was like tempura rather than the usual "fried tasting" coating. The hush puppies were delicious. We ordered one dessert to share and this was the only time we had to wait . It took at least 15 min to get Coconut cake and we were not upset, but no explanation was given for the delay. Since the cake was slathered in whipped cream, we decided they they had to make it fresh and it took time. We were not in a hurry, so there really was no issue to get somewhere else by a certain time. It was a delightful experience, here's hoping they stay around for a long time.

    Dined with a party of 8 for my birthday and we all had a great time. The food is fresh and the server was very informative about each dish. I highly recommend the Fish Dip! One improvement I'd suggest is some sort of sound-barrier to help with how loud the restaurant gets.

    Our dinner and server started out strong, however once it came to the food and the restaurant got busier it declined quick. Our server was almost nonexistent for half of our dinner and the best part was the firecracker shrimp appetizer. The fried green tomatoes, calamari, fish tacos and shrimp tacos were all quite disappointing.

    We love this place! The food, ambience and service are all fantastic. We started with a side of fried okra and you can tell they use fresh okra...so good! The ceviche appetizer was also a winner for me. For dinner we had the Fish Camp Platter and the Gumbo and both were delicious. The cilantro rice that comes with the gumbo reminded me of the rice my mom always made for seafood dinners when I was growing up, it was a delicious bit of nostalgia for me. Onto dessert...that coconut cake...that is the stuff dreams are made of! It is simple, light and the perfect amount of sweetness after a meal. The staff were super friendly and attentive--everyone from the front of the house to our server, Cece, to the kitchen staff was excellent. We had multiple staff members check in throughout the night to make sure our meal was to our satisfaction. It was a busy night for them but we were never rushed and our meal was perfectly paced. Can't wait for our next visit!
