27 Best Seafood Restaurants near Fruitland Park

“Wow! Great experience! Food was excellent, drinks were good too. It was unexpected scenery in an unassuming location. You're paying for quality here...and getting it. Steaks were spot on! Our party raved on the Filet mignon, ribeye, and prime rib. Will definitely be back and telling others.“

“Have eaten many times over last 2.5 years and it’s always been good food and very friendly service. Today was no different. Try the Smokehouse Burger — it’s the best burger in The Villages! Have ordered three times now and very consistent quality.“

“Amazing experience today on our first trip to Leesburg. Went to see the Gardens and saw this restaurant adjacent. Fantastic people here, lively outdoor patio with great food and drinks. Ben, our server, was possibly the best we have ever seen in many years across multiple restaurants, his attitude is something that all should learn from, really made our day.“

“Gorgeous little locally owned Seafood restaurant. A little upscale. The staff were amazing. Everyone was friendly with a big smile. The scenery was nice with natural colors and saltwater decor. The food was priced very reasonably. The portion sizes were much smaller than comparable restaurants, but the prices reflected the difference. The drinks were well prepared and suggested by the staff. The crab stuffed shrimp was good, but it tasted almost commercialized, and the alfredo sauce didn't pair well with it, in my opinion. The fried rice was a bit too lemony for our liking. The asparagus and creamed spinach were cooked perfectly. Overall, it was a nice dinner but not sure I'd recommend it as the best place around.“

“I was just at Island Fin Poke. It was super delicious. I got the spicy tuna--100% rec. But they had other options like korean BBQ. They also had vegan options. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful! Kitty helped me out and was super knowledgeable since it was my first time, I needed help ordering. They also sold beer and wine which is always a plus!“

“My first visit here. It was fabulous!!. I had the first nuggets. They were hot, tender, and so very tasty. The hummus is made fresh and seasoned to perfection. The owner and staff are very friendly with exciting personalities. I definitely highly recommend this restaurant.“

“This is a cool little Oyster Bar. We stopped with 4 adults and a 20 month old after spending the day on the Harris Chain fishing and cruising. The beer was cold and the food was great. We shared fried oysters, frog legs, raw oysters and fried shrimp. It was all very good. Our waitress paid special attention to our little guy in the group bringing him some fries and garlic bread before we even ordered. He was happy. The place is a little rustic. Don’t expect a spotless and polished place, but it was clean and the food and drinks were good. We dropped $125 for the 4 of us with a couple beers. Will be back.“

“This place is good, it was an enjoyable meal. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great portion sizes and big menu. I don't know if I would recommend it as there are better Mexican restaurants nearby but if someone asked if I wanted to get together and eat here I would say yes.My only complaint was that I ordered fajitas, which was a huge portion, and it only came with 3 tortillas. Once I ate those 3 tortillas and still had food remaining I asked for more tortillas. The waiter brought me 3 more and I was able to fill 2 of them with the rest of the food I had. But when I got my bill I saw I was charged $1.99 for the 3 extra tortillas. This is the first time I've ever been charged for extra tortillas at a Mexican restaurant. I could understand if maybe I didn't eat them or asked in advance, but I ate them and needed them to finish the food I ordered.“

“Lindsey was our waitress today. She made our visit so special. So much attention and she was fun and funny. Hope we get her next time.Food was awesome. Sat outside. Took Lindsey's recommendations and glad we did on the fish entries.Really made our occasion special.Probably the best service I have had in 5 years or more.I highly recommend Blue Fin for a wonderful lunch or night out in The Villages.She even brought us a sample fries and sauce she had made up for us. No charge.Thx Lindsey and Blue Fin. Appreciate the amazing service we received.“

“Family favorite!! We aren't members of the Havana CC, but live in the neighboring village! This is always our favorite spot for lunch. The service is great and the food is even better! We always get the "pick two" combo they have there for lunch and it's the perfect amount!“

“I was there with a group of women for brunch. The buffet is great. The service was excellent. Mimosas come with brunch.Parking: I had no problem finding a parking spot. Snowbird season has ended. I can't imagine what it would have been like during their season.“

“Love this place!! For three years now we have become "snow birds" This is the first place we visit on every return!! Very hard to find awesome atmosphere, good food, and friendly attentive staff!! In the Villages, most everything is a chain! Shucks will not disappoint if your looking for simplicity :)“

“The highlight of any visit to Harvest is simply walking in the door. You'll almost always be greeted by the smiling face of Jan who is ALWAYS ready to verbally spare. Being half Irish myself and 'slightly' full of the Craic, starting the evening out talking to Jan is a highlight and great way to kick off another fun evening. Harvest's success really comes down to the team AND their management. Eric Natera always personally makes sure every detail meets your satisfaction. We were just there last Friday night with some out of town guests from up north and were blessed with a fabulous outdoor table and a tremendous meal. Our server Leslie was awesome. THANK YOU TEAM HARVEST !!! #seafood #harvest #brownwood #thevillages“

“The outdoor bar has plenty of seating but is close to other tables. I enjoyed that because it allowed me to socialize with others easily! The water view is an added bonus. Jersey Frank was the musician, and he played a wide variety of upbeat familiar songs. It was very enjoyable! On both visits, the food was good, but the service was top-notch!“

“Really good customer service really good food nice place to dine in not that expensive great and good food for your value, just need to keep there tables clean I have been there several times and I had to wipe my table offParking: Plenty of space to park“

“Found my spot. Been living here 3 yrs and craving good Chinese food. So glad I tried them. Was so tired of eating Chinese food that taste like Spanish food SMH. Good portions also and I was extremely full afterwards. Front counter lady was very courteous and helpful. I'll be returning...and spreading the word!“

“Lobster bisque is absolutely the tastiest I’ve ever had. The bacon crumbles really makes this bisque a favorite of mine.The Jamaican Coconut Pie delicious! Creamy coconut custard with mouthwatering rum sauce I wanted to bathe in. I’ve dined here several times and never disappointed.“

“Recently, my husband and I visited The Villages to see friends whom we've missed since moving to the Dallas area 3 years ago.I planned a surprise birthday party for him while there and wanted it catered by a restaurant I knew I could count on for quality food. We're very familiar with the restaurants in The Villages as we lived there for 8 years. He was a pleasure to work with while planning this remotely. He sent me texts with pictures of the food he suggested and wanted to ensure that I was happy with the selections. We decided to have heavy appetizers such as seafood stuffed mushrooms, shrimp cocktail, Italian Rice Balls, Italian Trio ( fried ravioli, zuchinni fries, and marinara) Charcuterie Board, Bruschetta, and Stromboli. He also reassured me that there would be enough food for everyone, and he was "spot on" about what to order - all finger foods and had it delivered on time! I wouldn't hesitate to call on Roberto again and highly recommend him to anyone who enjoys good Italian food!“

“This place is soooooo gooooooddd! I went late at night and got the shrimp/wings fries combo and they did not disappoint! Shrimp was HUGE and the lemon pepper wings were delicious! Staff was super sweet and informative. I really love this place. I came all the way from Windermere. I will definitely come back here even though it’s 55 minutes away….sad they don’t have an establishment around Windermere.“

“Had a wonderful experience at Cane Garden on Friday. Friendly hostess was the start I have visited other places and I can say hostess not great but here first impression was great and the experience continued. Good food and service. Will be back“

“Need more stars for service! (The food was great, too.)Thanks to Dylan and store manager for an amazing experience! Quietly available and on the ball without being overbearing. Courteous and competent, with that extra something that just made for an amazing evening.Thanks so much! A++++++++ Highly recommend (even that people take classes on how to do this thing from them!).“

“Wonderful evening as we celebrated our anniversary. Service was excellent and each dish was perfectly prepared. Lobster bisque and salad (blood orange vinaigrette dressing-wow) were great starters; the filet an exceptional medium rare, braised short rib falling apart delicious. Could not have asked for a better experience. Never sure about a meal at a resort/hotel; not inexpensive but certainly not out of line. This exceeded all expectations. We're planning our next trip already and bringing friends. Thank you for making our anniversary weekend special“

“Came for Lobster fest. Was looking forward to the twin Lobster tail special. Then our server told us it was unavailable.After a short talk with the manager , he handled the problem. I had a happy birthday because of Terrance the manager. Great manager.“

An abundance of lipsmacking choices and chips galore!The "breezes of the sea" is a truejewel. You won't be disappointed!!“
