Good food! Excellent menu choices and quality excellent. Service was very good and prices reasonable for the what you received.

They are held to the most stringent standards and happen to be nice people as well! We look forward to seeing you again!
Exceptional! We have gone at least a half a dozen times and they never disappoint. The food is on point, the service is fantastic and management from the front of the house to the back, make a point of stopping by and doing a quality check. They pay attention to what and how we order and have made some amazing suggestions. The oysters are stellar, but they are far more than an oyster bar. Too many delicious choices... new discovery was the maple glazed salmon! So good I thought about ordering another to take home. Wonderful date stop, but also love going as a family. Their bar has a wide variety of selections as well if you appreciate a good cocktail. Yum!!!
Hi StacyM, We feel that especially today, it is incumbent on any restaurant to provide it's guests an exceptional dining experience...otherwise why would they go out?! Your experience is our goal every night. As the Iconic Authentic Oyster Bar in the area, you can count on us to always have the freshest and best tasting Oysters and Seafood. Glad you mentioned "date stop". We recently won " The Best Date Night Restaurant" by the followers of the Scout Guide Palm Beach? We hope to see you again!
Outstanding experience - already looking forward to the next time!
Hi FineDiner, Thank you for the 5* review and we cannot wait to serve you again!
Excellent Oysters but very expensive. Their prices have increased since last season. They also shortened their menu.
Hi Fantastic, Several months ago we rolled out our new menu (the last one was 3 years ago). We held our prices for that time period even though our costs went up. With the hiring of a new Executive Chef, our menu has many new exciting dishes and (of course) we kept most of the old favorites. As the area's only Iconic Authentic Oyster Bar you can be assured that our Oysters and Seafood are the freshest and best tasting! We thank you for the review!
Very slow service. Overpriced special. Child crying
Hi Janet, We take every guest comment very seriously. We have a dinner special every night. Our "specials" are not discounted price specials. They are the inspired creations of our Executive Chef and his Culinary Team. The evening you were there, the Special was a 2 1/2 lb Whole Yellowtail Snapper. When your server described the dish you were told the price. We have sold dozens of this dish and we stand by the price. One star for a child crying?
food wonderful. service attentive, atmosphere was fun.
Hi FredC, Thank you for your 5* review! The cornerstones of a great dining experience are food, service and ambiance. Well it certainly looks as though we succeeded! Please come and see us again soon!

Nice meal sitting outdoors.
thank you for your review and mentioning our outdoor seating! We hope to see you again soon!
There was a very crowded open bar. Nobody at the bar wore masks. We will not return because even though we ate outside socially distanced the bar scene creates a health risk.
Hi Judi, At Spotos we are doing everything we can to make you feel safe and comfortable. Masks are used by our staff and required by guests for navigating throughout the restaurant. We have an employee who does nothing but sanitize all surfaces during service. Our inside dining is still at 50% and our outdoor seating is very well socially distant. If the bars being open to 100% bothers you, don't sit at the bar! If dining out is not for you, remember we are still offering To Go.
Food and service were awesome! We will be back!

Best was the kindness of the service. Food was wonderful, but the service of the evening made it even better.
Hi RonH, Thank you for mentioning our service! Our staff are some of the nicest well trained folks in the industry. I wish you had mentioned who your server was! We're glad that you enjoyed your experience at Spotos and look forward to seeing you again.
Always a great experience. This time we got the special fish which was yellow tail snapper. We didn’t realize it was whole, and I personally wouldn’t have ordered had I known it was whole, but it was excellent, more than enough for sharing. The price of $68 reflected the size and quality. Oysters and martinis excellent as always.
Hi NancyM, Thank you for your review, kind words and loyal support. Very happy that you chose our Yellowtail Snapper Special. When I describe it to a guest I tell them it's quite possibly "the best thing they ever ate". We value your patronage and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Music was extremely loud. Difficult to have a conversation
Excellent meal and nice outdoor dining. It is always consistently delicious

Service could have been better, but the food was great! It’s nice that they have a large area for outdoor dining.
Hi Moni, Thank you for your review and mentioning our outdoor seating! While our food was always amazing, we have a new Executive Chef (awhile now) and our food is even better! Could you please let me know why the service "could have been better"? We hope to see you again soon!
Great outside seating. Food was great.Appreciated that there was distancing between the tables.
Hi Lauzon, Thank you for your review! We appreciate your mentioning our outdoor seating and that you felt safe and comfortable. Please visit us again soon!
The bottle prices for wine here are already 400% above retail, but what was annoying was that the two-most reasonably priced wines were sold out, and when we asked for a same priced substitution we were refused.
The “background” music is incredibly loud.
Excellent food, though prices have increased quite a bit, most likely due to monies lost during months of closure due to COVID 19.
Hi Carolynne, Thank you for your 5* review! We unveiled our new menu about 2 months ago. This was the first menu change in over 3 years. Covid 19 notwithstanding, prices have gone up in the past 3 years. We are still making everything to order from scratch using only fresh ingredients delivered daily.

Always excellent service and food.

All were delicious. We finished our meal with coffee and expresso. Our server was excellent and backed up by the entire team. It was a lovely evening and and we will definitely return.

Food was good
Our waiter was great
Management came over several times to ask if everything was ok and when something was mentioned not being ok we were given excuses but problem never rectified so why bother asking if you’re not going to fix it.
Hi TraceyL, Thank you for the review! We'll certainly let your server know that his attention to detail added to your dining experience. Regarding your comment about a manager not fixing your problem... Could you please give me some specifics? We hope to see you again soon!
The food and service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and most accommodating.
