23 Best Seafood Restaurants near Charlotte Harbor

“A delightful experience in a private room for our 10 guests. Most meals were exceptional, but did not provide a vegetarian selection. Service was great and gentleman was fun. We kept him busy, but I wish he would have asked other waitresses to help upon delivery of food. Water glasses not refilled, but drinks kept flowing. We ate at Maurys and also Half Crack and both restaurants were out of 3-4 popular selections. Would try again.“

“We have been buying our fish exclusively from fresh catch and couldn’t be happier. What made us decide to do that was purchasing a snapper from Publix and it was gross. I said to my husband, we are buying all of our fish from now on at fresh catch. They have the best selection, the freshest tasting fish and friendly service, which is so close by. We have never been unhappy with anything we purchased there.“

“We called with a party of 10 and got a recording stating that reservations were not taken. We arrived and were told that there were no tables available and that we should have made reservations. We explained that we tried to and showed the Hostess the Website and number we called. We asked to speak with the Manager to make him aware of the website. Travis introduced himself and seated us temporarily outside( it was not the best of Florida weather this night) and had staff circle heaters around our table and brought us complimentary appetizers until they could accommodate all of us. Travis gave us his personal cell # and in our opinion went above and beyond to make this a Special Evening for all of us. This is not our first time here, but it was with such a large group. Justina was our Server and is Personality Plus The food is always excellent“

“Absolutely excellent tasteful food. Had the blackened bronzino and asparagus. My husband had the haddock and Alaskan Pollic. Service was super and friendly. Selina made us feel welcome to the area. Highly recommend.“

“Go there often but my last time I went with my daughter had literally 2” of soda Baja blast from Taco Bell, the waitress was a little Rude about bringing in outside drinks! I understand the reason but its a kid with 2” left in the cup. Anyway I said no problem and Walked out went to spend my money at there competition. Haven’t returned since!
