Trophy Fish

Best seafood in the area and fantastic happy hour! Everything I’ve tried is flavorful, fresh, and good portions. The quality at this location is equal to the original one. I can’t help it, I have to get their oysters. Their hush puppies are a must. The shrimp tacos and catch of the day entrees are superb. You order your at the bar and staff is always cheerful and offering recommendations. You feel like you’re ‘somewhere else’ with the tropical feel without a beach dive bar. There isn’t a/c, but it’s covered and has fans. Do yourself a favor and try it if you have not been or go back if it’s been a while. You’ll have to order the dessert and let me know how it is!

Unfortunately I have to update my 5 star rating. I have been coming here for a little over a year now, and each time is just a little worse than the time before. Food portions have shrunk, and quality of the plates seems to have slipped. While everyone working there is friendly, service is incredibly slow, even though there was at least 4 people behind the bar. We had to ask for water 4 times before they finally brought some to go with our food and cocktails. I hope that something can be done about the speed of service and the food, as this was a place I used to be able to recommend to folks previously as a great spot to check out. Aug 28 2024- 5 stars across the board. Friendly bartender, wonderful live music, good drinks, good food!

$1 oysters and happy hour drinks were so good. Bartenders were very very friendly. The vibes are bungalow retreat from the heat in the hip neighborhood of Seminole heights. Super family friendly. Lots of parking. I actually prefer this location over the St.Pete Trophy Fish 🐠🫶🏼👏🏼 As someone who works in the industry this is one of my all time fav places in Tampa Bay. I was so happy to spend my birthday here 💗

Today was my first time eating at Trophy Fish restaurant. What a great place for lunch. The service was great and our server Mr. Sweet T. was amazing. My food was delicious. The fresh Grouper was cooked just right and that pineapple coleslaw was different, but so good! I also recommend the Ceviche as a appetizer what a treat in your mouth. I will be having lunch at Trophy Fish again.

Awesome night at Trophy Fish last week. Wanted somewhere to go after Gasparilla that was different and wouldn't be a long wait. Trophy Fish is all open air, so it gives you a sense that you're on the beach or somewhere tropical!! Walked in and the manager greeted us and explained how it works. It's cafe style, so you pick a seat and just order your food at the bar, they will bring it out to you! We ended up eating at the bar and god some cocktails which were great. They had stone crab special so we did a half pound of that. Super good and served up with some old bay dusted on top! They rotate specials and fresh catch of the day so make sure to check the chalkboard when you walk in! For entree we had the mahi sandwich and the grouper day boat. Which you get to choose 2 sides and the fish of the day. We also got the seafood chowder which was made to order and so delicious. It was a bit on the pricey side, it was $29. Cool thing is their sister cocktail bar concept Mandarin Heights is connected. So we walked over there and hand another cocktail before leaving. Super fun time!!

Beautiful atmosphere. Great playlist. The food was very good. I would return here if I'm back in the area. A few things to note- the service is set up where you place your order with the bartender then wait for them to bring it to your table. He takes your payment info and at the end when you close your bill, you get a receipt. The bartender, Jamal, was attentive and he made great drinks. 10/10. My husband and I ordered the catch of the day which was red grouper. It was delicious but in my opinion very small portion for the price. 8/10 Shrimp skewers and the house salad was amazing! 10/10 My son's liked their blackened chicken sandwich. 7/10 The key lime pie was excellent! 10/10 Overall, I recommend this place and look forward to returning at a future date.

We are here at least 2x a week. The food is consistently delicious and super fresh. You’d be hard pressed to find a better bartender in Tampa than Ian. They treat their regulars like family. Any night we get to come is a fun time and leaves us looking forward to our next visit. They also welcome kids and spoil ours on the regular. Trophy Fish is their favorite spot as well.

The food, drinks, atmosphere and most importantly- 💫the service💫 has been fantastic with every visit! Just recently moved back to Seminole Heights after losing my house in Bay Crest due to hurricane Helene, and Trophy Fish has helped me feel right at home. Everyone from the bartenders to the busboys have been attentive and friendly, and I’ve enjoyed every meal and drink! Plus, the vibe is on point🌅

Trophy Fish is one of those spots that just always hits. The whole place has this laid-back, patio vibe that makes it perfect for a casual date night or grabbing drinks with friends. Their happy hour is one of the best deals in Tampa. The $1 oysters are huge, super fresh, and so tasty The $5 shrimp tacos might be the best tacos I've ever had. Packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and such a crazy good price for happy hour. Make sure to order the Fin & Tonic. It's refreshing, delicious, and even comes with an edible flower. If you're looking for amazing seafood, great drinks, and a chill neighborhood spot, Trophy Fish is a Seminole Heights standout. For food, the fish was incredibly fresh. Simple, flavorful, and done right. If you're picky about seafood, this is the place that will convert you. Portions are solid, prices are fair, and everything tastes like it came straight off a boat. Service is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it's honestly one of the easiest places to hang out for a few hours without realizing how much time has passed. If you're in the area and want fresh fish + great cocktails, Trophy Fish is definitely worth the stop.

I'm so happy they opened another location in Tampa, which is way more convenient for me! I've been a fan of the St. Pete spot, and the Tampa location absolutely did not disappoint. You really can't beat their daily happy hour from 4-6pm: $1 oysters (must order min of 12), $5 tacos, and $5 bubbles and $10 cocktails? Yes, please. I always get the whipped feta (not on the happy hour menu, but totally worth it). The vibes are great, the staff is friendly, and best of all, it's dog friendly! Already looking forward to my next visit. What I ordered: - WHIPPED FETA DIP: cucumbers, roasted peppers, sunflower seeds, crispy tostadas - BUCK SHUCK RAW OYSTERS: Raw oysters on the halfshell, served with cocktail sauce and champagne cucumber mignonette. *12 oysters minimum per order - A LA CARTE CHICKEN TACO: Grilled chicken served with pico de gallo, crunch love lettuce, jolapeños, and roasted garlic lime and sriracha aiolis, on a garlic grilled flour tortilla - A LA CARTE FRIED SHRIMP TACO: Buttermilk fried shrimp served with pico de gallo, crunch love lettuce, jalopeños, and roasted garlic lime and sriracha alolis, on a garlic grilled flour tortilla.

Worst time here. Super cool vibe. Delicious food. I had the shrimp poor boy and the chorizo corn with a couple different sauces. Incredibly fresh, delicious flavorful service was great. Wow! Can't wait to be back for happy hour

Where else would you be able you still find $1 oysters everyday 4-6?! They have live music.you order from the bar and food comes out quite fast. The oysters taste pretty good (just be cautious of the tiny shell pieces still in the oysters) The shrimp tacos were actually good for $5 as well!

Service and ambiance was quite peaceful and fun. The bartenders were great! The Aloe-ha is my go to drink! Their happy hour isn't too bad either! Definitely try them out!

I love the mezcal drinks here. Always a nice vibe with good bartenders. Tried the hush puppies, they were okay

Unique covered outdoor dining with delicious and fun drinks and yummy seafood dishes! Service is friendly and prompt!

Was good , fresh , unique place , got the Po boy shrimp sandwich w blackened fries . Their oyster Rockefeller looked really good too. I think I'm gonna try that. Next definitely must try and go check them out.

I enjoyed trophy fish it's an easy chill laid back Vibe. I had the butchers blend fish tacos, one was grouper the other was mahi. It was pretty good seasoning and flavor. The drink was pretty good, but I don't remember the name however, I snapped a picture of it below! It's a gin based drink.

Great spot for food and hangout Service was also nice! Will come back! Didn't get a pic but smoked salmon burger I also got was great too! That's for the food! As far as the sitting goes... outdoor sofas are nice BUT I'd clean those cushions often- hoping the management sees this

Not busy at all when we went on a weekend for lunch. Good or service, decent prices for fresh food.

This review is long over due. I decided to book a group outing for our office for some drinks and appetizers and boy I picked a cold day. I was worried but the managers assured me they would put out heaters. And I was not let down. It was warm and fun. Great place for drinks and food. The bar tender he kicks butt. The food. The ambiance and the cocktails are delicious. The pretzel is a must try

I visited Trophy Fish for their incredible happy hour! $1 oysters ( must purchase 12) and the best drinks. The restaurant/ bar has a great through back relaxing vibe. Very chill. You order the food at a window so there is not much service. We then ordered drinks at the bar so a little annoying. In any case, I will definitely be back!!

The best food, service and prices for Happy Hour! $1 per oyster...and they are excellent. Couple that with Ian the bartender's Finn and Tonic and you have the best of Tampa Bay. Don't forget the feta dip appetizer! It's like no other. It's awesome.

The ambiance is good but that's about it. I do love the concept and design of this Trophy Fish location, however, the food did not live up to my expectations when we visited on 10/15. If anything I would say go for a beer and chill outdoor vibes... that's it. It's an order at the counter kind of restaurant which I can totally understand but what I can't understand is a "self-service" restaurant with outrageous prices and this low quality of food. Food- We ordered a dozen oysters that were on special for $1 each. They were very very bad oysters... I only had 2. They didn't look visually appealing, were fishy, and had pieces of shell in them. The blackened mahi mahi was a small portion and the side pineapple cabbage slaw just tasted unfresh and like it had been sitting for a while. My boyfriend had the smoked shrimp burger and he did not enjoy it. The food did not justify the price. Drink- I also had the salty dawg yacht-tail and it was a unique drink. The flavor profile was different and it wasn't a bad drink, however, I wouldn't return just for this drink. The vanilla salt rim was interesting. Wish we had a better experience.

So the menu concept is straightforward...you have a choice between two fish of the day. Then you decide whether you want to fish as a platter, sandwich, taco or salad. You select a seasoning for the fish, your sides and sauces. That's the extent of the menu. When I dined here 3 days ago, the options were red grouper and mahi mahi. The price was $29+ change and $27 +change respectively. I don't think there is value for the price of the meal. My fave item was the yucca fries. Everything else on the plate was ok. The smoked fish was ok not astounding and well I didn't like the ceviche at all...especially coming off the hinge of two trips to Mexico in the past month and comparing it to the amazing ceviche I did have. The atmosphere is cool so I did like that! The staff were friendly whenever we needed to interact with them - you order your food at the bar or a separate counter. May pass on the food and try the drinks next time.

Food flavors 4 stars Ambiance 3 stars Service 2 stars Food quantity 2 stars Accommodations 2 stars Bar 4 stars Food delivery speed 2 stars Food Vs Price 1 stars Averaging 2.5 stars This place is expensive for each item compare to amount of food is given. Basically after main dish, you need some other food to fill up. Quantity of fish is really small piece. For almost $30 a plate price, it is not way to compare to a fish dinner in many chains restaurants. One good thing is they do have fresh fish with good blackened techniques. This place has no Air conditioner environment. All open air. You have to order before seat down. Basically is cafeteria styles. Food take 22 minutes to deliver on the tables. Not much of service. Get your own drink on bars. Plus drink food and app is about $50 per person. I really not think it cut for a open air restaurant with no beach view.

I've been excited to try Trophy Fish and what a great name because they definitely deserve a trophy. From the set up, to the service, to the menu, to the way that the food taste, it was simply an amazing, relaxing, dining experience. I loved the food, every bite felt like there was love in it, and I love the fact that his place is dog friendly. They even supply water and bowls for your furry love muffins. I brought mine and it was absolutely perfect. She had a great time. We ordered the fish of the day with the coconut rice and the coleslaw and every single bite was like eating a piece of heaven. Also had the shrimp burger, which was so yummy and the phone was buttery and sweet and I have no idea how they packed so much deliciousness into one meal. We also had the hush puppies which were so delicious and the dipping sauce that went with it was spectacular. My least favorite was the rosemary potatoes. They were just too huge and didn't have enough crunch that I would've liked in the absence of french fries. But everything was incredible and this is now my new favorite seafood spot in Tampa. Definitely a must try for a chill Sunday like we had or any day of the week really because there's never not a great day to have an amazing meal with fabulous service and excellent ambience. The bar was also super cool and the way that you ordered your food and received it was really easy and laid-back. Love love love this place.

Long-time customers of the original location. I got a chance to visit the new Tampa location, and it has all the charm of the original. The new menu is different, I am sure a lot of people like it. One thing I loved about Trophy Fish as a Celiac is that I could get a really great blackened fish with rice and a side (sometimes vegetables or beans). I hope they bring that back because the new location didn't seem to have a lot of options to pair with the fish like rice, beans, etc. Their slaw is good, but it isn't something I would eat as a side. Another thing I noticed is that the seafood boil now has beer in it, and before it did not at the St. Pete location. So, as a Celiac, I can't order that anymore either. On my visit, I basically had to get a salad with fish. Grilled blackened fish salad is good, but as a more traditional meal, I do just prefer rice and a side, and I don't mean coconut rice or pilaf. Other than that, the new menu additions are obviously great for those with no dietary restrictions. The food is very consistent and tastes the same as it does at the St. Pete location. The cocktails are pretty much always 5/5 at TF. You won't be disappointed there. I am very glad we in Tampa have this gem. Anyhow, parking is probably always going to be tight because it is a residential area with businesses, but if the parking lot is full they have another small lot with parking across the street (it is easy to miss). If that fails, you can park on the street for free without risk of getting towed. Please bring back some of the great gluten-free options, though, for us Celiacs. I love seafood boils.

I was excited to try out this new restaurant and bar in town. The staff was very friendly and the decor was cool! We liked the bar area and tried the Gone Fishin drink. The drink was served in a ceramic bobber with a small fishing pole with a. Fish. I would order the drinks Avon! The seating and food set up left a lot to be desired. If you come with a party greater than 4 expect to find no seating for your whole group or very limited seating. The seating is a weird L shaped layout and there are indoor seats with not much airflow. The seating arrangements can use some rearranging. The food situation was not the most fluid ordering process. If you were at the bar enjoying drinks you had to leave the bar and potentially lose your seat at the bar to go and order food from a separate counter. There are separate areas to order food and drinks which can be problematic. There needs to be a better system for ordering food and drinks. The food menu was pricy and limited. Trophy Fish is know for fish but there were only two fresh fish options for the day. I expected more fish options since that is what they are known for. My party ordered the hush puppies, shrimp skewers, clams and corn, and fresh catch nuggets. The food was ok and not memorable. The hush puppies were big and had nice flavor but very also dry. The shrimp skewers came with a nice amount of shrimp but was not flavorful and over cooked. The clams from the clams and corn were very gritty. The crostinis that came with cams and corn were over toasted and hard as a rock. The fresh catch nuggets were fresh but super salty and way over seasoned. The sale and seasoning overpowered the fish. For the high prices charged for food the quality of the food was poor! Overall, I would go back for a drink and skip the food all together. Trophy Fish needs modifications in many areas to make it even better!

I came here for lunch and ordered the shrimp po boy sandwich with fries. The sandwich was pretty goodthe shrimp were seasoned well. I wasn't a fan of the fries that came with it though.

With its extraordinary seafood and inviting dockside-chic atmosphere, Trophy Fish is the coolest new addition to the Seminole Heights food scene. It exudes casual Florida vibes and provides the perfect place for a relaxing outdoor meal. This is Trophy Fish's second location to St Pete. And the food? Wow wow wow, talk about flavor--they definitely have it mastered! From seafood to appetizers to the bbq chicken sandwich, it's all phenomenal. When you go to order, you'll see a chalk board at the register that displays the daily fish selection. Once you've decided on the fish you want, you then have the choice to have it blackened, panko herb crusted, or seasoned with a citrus rub. After that, you'll decide how you would like it prepared: on its own, as a sandwich, as a taco, or as a salad. Personally recommend the tacos! I also HIGHLY suggest the hush puppies and corn to start. They were so good and perfectly portioned to share. The hush puppies truly stole my heart. Finally, I have to say, the chicken sandwich deserves a lot of praise. It's absolutely incredible and packed with the best flavor combo: slow smoked chicken, rum & coke BBQ sauce, cheddar Jack, and pineapple slaw. You won't be disappointed.

The establishment was a total vibe !! I'm shocked that there is a restaurant like that in Seminole Heights didn't think that those vibes will be over there Very island ish !! the bar staff, the wait staff everybody was super welcoming and nice. We laughed with some new people at the bar that we met ! amazing food !! don't get rid of your chef!! he's awesome!! the mahi mahi was cooked on point everything we had was great and I don't drink alcohol so that's important to me that the food was great. The atmosphere was great -highly recommended to go see this place and enjoy yourself. We were there for probably three hours I think. Thank you for having us. I'll see you soon.

Very clean, warm and welcoming, lots of locals love this place. The most amazing mouth watering grouper sandwiches and hush puppies. The fish is fresh caught, so much flavor!!!!!

First time here and do many nice choices. The atmosphere was great as well as the staff. Food was great I will be back very soon because I really want to try the fish sandwich as well as the fish appetizers. As far as the drinks we'll I don't have a picture as I took it down too fast to show you but they were delicious

place is amazing for the fish and seafood and also the bar area. I am super happy with my experience here.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience at this Tampa location. As soon as we got there, we waited a good amount of time before having to go find someone to ask to be seated only to find out it was first come first serve. It took about 10 minutes before anyone addressed me at the bar for my drink order. On top of that the bar area, was FULL of bees. Also, once the bartender took my order, he took another 10 minutes to make it as he just kept talking and pouring shots for other people at the bar as if I wasn't standing there. Also, he used his bare hands to roll up the cucumber and other ingredients that went into my drink. I expected him to at least wash his hands as I saw him grabbing other things around the bar. Sadly the drinks were not good! Drinks we ordered: - Fin & Tonic - Gone Fishin' Food we ordered: - hush puppies, these were ok but were a bit dry - wild gulf, shrimp skewers, overcooked and came out cold - fried street corn , good flavor - Grand Central oysters, these were good but some of the breadcrumbs were stale It's a nice area and very spacious. There's a good amount of seating available as long as you get there at a good time. I'm hoping this was just due to it being their first week of being opened. I had a way better experience at the St Pete location.

Great atmosphere, friendly bartenders and decent drinks. Weird ordering system having to order at a separate counter. Very bad overpriced food. The hushpuppies are just a fried greasy yeasty dough ball. Not a corn based traditional hush puppy. The oysters were tiny and just a heaping pile of bread crumbs. Same with the mussels. We were very excited when we arrived and left very disappointed.

Trophy Fish moved into the empty place where Bodega Tampa used to fill our hearts and tummies. It was a bittersweet day for those living in the neighborhood. We loved Bodega, but COVID shutdowns led it back across the bay. It's hard to step into the exact same space and not compare, but we will try. Firstly, Trophy Fish got one thing super right- the space itself really needed a roof, and that's the first thing they added when they moved in. The roof changes the functionality completely. Firstly, on a hot day you can actually go and sit out there, enjoy the open-air patio, and not become the roasted chicken yourself. Secondly, on a day like yesterday, when it's raining, you can blissfully enjoy your fish sandwich without much affect. They also added an enormous bar that spans the entire space. The message is clear- we serve drinks. And the drinks are definitely worth serving. They actually give neighboring business Mandarin Heights a run for their money. Our original plan was to eat dinner at Trophy Fish, then head to Mandarin Heights, but after the drinks at TF, we decided to stay. The Mandarin drinks have always been slightly watery (in our opinion) and this was NOT the case for the strong and delicious drinks at TF. They also discounted their dark and stormy because it was raining, and that gets them some brownie points (in my opinion). As far as the food goes, I hate to say it- but I wish it was still Bodega. I know it's a completely different concept, but the food was mediocre. I had the blackened mahi fish tacos, and my husband had a fish platter. They were a little pricey, but that's hardly the issue. More so, they lacked downright deliciousness. My tacos were literally swimming in fish juice. The shells got soggy and fell apart quickly, leaving my ingredients in a puddle of juice. The taste was just okay. My husband ordered the chorizo creamed corn. It had a lot of chorizo grease, to the point where it looked like soup. It wasn't creamy at all. Nothing stood out as particularly outstanding. The yucca fries were gummy. The whole concept is great. I hope they can tweak their menu offerings a bit and improve the preparation. I think they stand a good chance of surviving in the Heights, especially because we are low on quality, outdoor lunch places- but I'm probably still going to be sitting there wishing I could be ordering the lechón sandwich of pre-COVID Bodega.

very good nuggets and sandwiches. The drinks were very good and all at a good price. The fish of the day are always fresh and have a great taste

I absolutely LOVED this place! Trophy fish opened up in Seminole heights where Bodega used to reside and although it's sad to see Bodega go; Trophy fish is an absolute vibe. It feels like you have entered a tropical paradise. The servers gave us some great recommendations, the music was on point, our bartender (shout out Ian) was an absolute gem and let's not forget the food was SO good!! Will be coming back ASAP. Food ordered: - Hush puppies: Cornmeal Buttermilk Batter-Jalapeno Corn Dust-727 Sauce. The sauce was mouthwatering good, together a great pairing. - Fresh Catch Nuggets: Butcher's Blend of our Fresh Catch Fish lightly breaded & Fried-Pineapple Tartar Sauce. So fresh, tender & delicious. - Gulf Oysters stuffed with Chorizo Parmesan Breadcrumbs then roasted-Kale Chimichurri Sauce. Probably some of the best oysters i've had!! Overall: experience

We were looking for a new place to eat and stopped by Trophy Fish. We liked the concept of the place. It's supposed to be like you're at home on your porch, just relaxing, eating, drinking, and watching TV. The pros were that the food was really good. The bartender gave us the lunch specials for the day, and we decided to go with his recommendations, we were not disappointed. One meal was a lobster roll with fries. The other was the fish of the day with a side of the coleslaw and trophy taters. The coleslaw has pineapple in it and was very good and refreshing. The cons of this place were that there was very little interaction with the staff. We were told when we walked in that the servers do not come to you at the tables for your orders. Any food or drinks you want, you have to go to the bar to order. That was fine. We ended up just sitting at the bar. We were ready to oder and told the bartender we were ready. He went to the computer to put the order in as we ordered. However, the computer was about 7 seats away from where we were sitting, so we had to yell the order. We each ordered a drink and only got the one drink, not because that is all we wanted but because we were never asked if we wanted more. Again, I understand the bartenders don't come from behind the bar but we were sitting at the bar and they kept walking right in front of us and saw the drinks were empty, both the waters and the alcohol drinks. We tried interacting with the bartender, but he just was not having it. There was no personality, no smiling, no conversation. The drinks were good and we wanted more, but when you feel like you are a bother to the employees, then you really don't want to keep staying there.

Love the feel of this restaurant! Great food and drinks. A great spot in the heights!!

We stumbled across trophy fish and were pleasantly surprised. The decor is fun and the food was fresh and delicious! Orders came out fast. We had 2 versions of the tacos, fish bites (not pictured), and a grouper sandwich. All food was fresh, well seasoned, and flavorful! It is an outdoor venue so it was quite hot! Would return again when the weather is cooler.

At first while searching on google I thought I came across a new fishing spot. The food is okay, I got the Po Boy handheld with blackened fries. (The cashier recommended the Smoked Shrimp Burger). The service is nice but the ambiance is relaxing.

Five stars for Ian the bartender! The primary reason we come to Trophy Fish is for the great service and brilliant drinks from Ian. The restaurant vibe is a lot of fun - very tropical, laid back, and relaxing. The bar is gorgeous. The owners did a great job updating this space. But the reason we keep coming back is Ian. He's amazing! He's friendly and super knowledgeable about drinks and mixing cocktails. The drinks on the menu are fun (my fav is definitely the 'If You Like Pina Coladas') - although if you're craving something else, no worries, Ian can craft something to your liking. He's creative, intelligent, and experienced - there have been many times when I've only provided a alcohol base that I want and let him come up with the rest - and I have yet to be disappointed with one of his drinks. Come for the relaxing atmosphere and stay for the divine cocktails.

Service was bad, ordered drinks waited almost 30 min and bartender never started the order. The bartender was very rude to my party I will not be coming back.

The drinks are amazing and I love that they have cute, unique cups! The atmosphere is fun but relaxed and I love all the cool decor. I am not a fan of their food. It is small dishes and pricey. Not worth it. Definitely would go back for the drinks and atmosphere but I won't eat here again.

Coming over from St. Pete Trophy Fish is a new addition to Seminole Heights area. This replaced Bodega and was smartly designed to maximize space with a large bar and more tables. You first order at the counter and they give you a number for you to sit at your table. When I went it was a little busy but there were two seats left at the bar. I got a refreshing cocktail while we waited for our food. I got the mahi mahi sandwich grilled with a seasoning, it was the fish of the day. You can check their menu and choose how you want the fish seasoned and cooked. The sandwich was good but the two chunks of fish kept breaking apart and made the sandwich messy. The yuca fries were good but they needed an aioli or something to dip other thank ketchup because some of them were dry. Overall it was a food meal bit prepare for it to be pricey since its seafood!

Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 = the prices. I legit spent $148 here BEFORE TIP (me and my wife). Started off with 2 drinks. A salty dawg and a margarita. Fantastic drinks. Great service. Awesome atmosphere. Cannot complain. It was lunch time and we were hungry. So I got two fish tacos (mahi mahi) and my wife got two fish tacos (red grouper). I can't lie. These were the best fish tacos I've ever had. The fish isn't like chopped up or small. No, it looks like a whole filet on your taco. I love the actual taco shells. Something about them kept them from getting soggy from the juicy fish. The pickled red onions are always a great choice. The mango slaw was phenomenal. And the spicy Mayo was legit. Loved the tacos. BUT, and it's a big but ... I believe for 2 tacos and a side (we got rice, and corn), came out to about $30 each. So $30 for my tacos and $30 for my wife's tacos. $60 in tacos is more than I spent on Wagyu beef tacos in Austin, TX. It's just absurd. We got a half dozen chargrilled oysters ($17?) as well. We're suckers for chargrilled oysters. Worth it. We ordered two more drinks to help us get over how much we just paid for fish tacos. And this is where I had one of the best drinks I've had in A WHILE - the Aloe-Ha. Incredible. I'd go back to enjoy the awesome outdoor atmosphere, the chill vibes, the amazing reggae music, the perfect Florida weather, and the expertly crafted cocktails for sure. I will not be ordering food.

My first time. Ian (Mr. Personality) serving the bar, made it a great visit. He helped in my choices & I was not disappointed. Had happy hour cold & salty fresh Oysters, a shrimp taco. Beware. They do not take cash. Will go back. A++

If I could give it a 3 and half I would great attentive service. Really cool boat life vibes. But the food was a bit of letdown. Grouper with citrus rub was okay but was under season and need the lemon amd sauce. Sides corn salad was good, the potatoes were well cooked but under seasoned. chimicurri sauce was good not great. Surprisingly I really enjoyed the hush puppies although thier not quite your traditional seasoning. The dipping sauce with them were probaly highlight. In the end was worth 40 bucks. No I felt I could went elsewhere gotten better bang for my buck. Mind you I didn't try any drinks which I hear are great. I might be back but for something other than what I ordered.

Was expecting a big fresh piece of fish for the "day boat fresh" meal but it was quite a small filet and definitely not a fresh catch. It was good but really disappointing for $30. I left hungry Drinks were good but not particularly strong

Absolutely HORRIBLE restaurant. They don't even know how to make tartar sauce here. The grouper bites were burned. The mahi sandwich was tasteless. The stone crabs were old. You walk in and good luck trying to find out how to place a food order! Complete chaos. And worst of all, NO AIR CONDITIONING!

For a new restaurant the atmosphere was beautiful. The service was great as well however the food was subpar at best. We got there right as it opened at 4p and I ordered the snapper with the house made citrus sauce, pineapple coleslaw, coconut rice pilaf and yucca fries. Food wasn't even room temperature. The coleslaw does have potential but seemed like it was made 2 days prior, the fries were cold and extremely hard, the "coconut" rice was basically prepackaged yellow rice with coconut shavings and the fish was edible but it also seemed like it was made early in the day and probably sat under a heat lamp all day. The appetizers were decent, we had the fried street corn and the grand central oysters. The pistachio drink with rum was definitely the best thing I've had in a while. I want to give it another shot but idk

Under cooked food. A way over priced. An the customer service really need better training.

unless you want mediocre unseasoned food paired with month old house made sauces, don't come here. also a great place for waiting for service for 20-30 minutes due to lack of staff.
