50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Lake Mary

“My husband and I went to Fishbones Saturday night 10/12. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. We ordered a lobster special and Chillean Sea bass. It was delicious. Warning with add ons. Didn't realize the Cesar salad was an upgrade including anchovies and bacon. The waiter was very attentive.“

“Fresh seafood- great selection- excellent service. You can call ahead and they’ll have your order ready with free ice for your cooler and they accept cash.“

“Our server was average at best, continually called us “my love”, we were celebrating a birthday which was ignored by the server even though there was a birthday card given by the restaurant, creamed spinach was too salty to eat, 2 out of 3 steaks were rare, not what was ordered, bar drinks were not good. A very poor experience at a restaurant that has always been outstanding.“

“The food and service was fantastic 😋“

“Just wonderful. The Christmas buffet was amazing. So much to offer. Something for everyone. The servers and omelet station people were so friendly and accommodating. Making sure we were very well taken care of. Great job.“

“Server was friendly and sweet, but not very good about serving, for example, appetizer arriving but no share plates, dessert arriving but dirty dishes still in front of us including plates that needed a doggy bag. Also, one person asked for steak medium well and got medium rare if not rare. And I ordered the fish and chips special with beer-battered haddock, and the server asked me how I'd like that cooked, rare, medium, or well done? That was...interesting. It only comes battered and fried! So it was funny, but the server was genuinely clueless.“

“We had a great experience at Ruth's Chris. The food was excellent and everything came out cooked perfectly. Our server was fantastic, very attentive without being overbearing and made sure we had everything we needed throughout dinner. The drinks were also really good and well made. Between the food, service and drinks, everything was on point. Definitely one of the better dining experiences we've had and we will be back.“

“We had time to kill before heading to the airport. I googled restaurants nearby and they popped up! After I read the reviews, decided to give them a try. I got the garlic jumbo shrimp and seafood rice. My son got the bbq wings, tilapia and fries. Sister got the Philly cheesesteak and fries. 10/10. He cooks it fresh to order so be patient but I promise it’s worth the wait! Will def be back the next time I fly into Sanford!!“

“The best Italian food I have had in a very long time! Every bite was amazing!“

“I reached out to the restaurant in advance of my family coming to this happening food hall that contains this restaurant and several others. I had some questions about food ingredients due to my dietary restrictions. The responses I received were helpful, professional, timely and appreciated. Dairy free? No problem! Low gluten? No problem!

I ordered via the kiosk and spoke to Mike in person, to ensure the no dairy need was met. No problem!

My salad with two kinds of fresh grilled fish added was perfectly prepared, tasty and safe for me. My family enjoyed their meals as well.

Life is good with understanding, communicative staff at a fun, flexible and delicious restaurant inside Henry’s Depot in Sanford.“

She recommended the wood grilled corn and bacon flatbread, which was amazing, heard us talking about desserts and a bakery we wanted to try and gave her review. Attentive and nice. Will definitely be back for all the other seasons to come!“

“I wanted to take a moment to commend Destiny for the exceptional service she consistently provides during our visits. It always brings a smile to my face when she is available to make our dining experience a pleasant one. She is quick to share the specials and make thoughtful recommendations.

What I appreciate most is that she remembers our order from previous visits and promptly puts it in without delay. It truly enhances our experience, and I find myself looking forward to visiting specifically when she is there.

Thank you for having such a dedicated and attentive staff member on your team.“

“Great location, great food, with amazing prices“

“We had my sister’s college graduation dinner/party here and we had the best server, Nick!! The room was nicely set up and the service was incredible. Nick welcomed us like family, he was funny, energetic, engaging, and very helpful with our large party (26 people) even after having a long day. Also he served our party all by himself! The food was delicious and came out in a timely manner and it was all correct. The drinks and bread came out so quick and the refills kept coming (I think I drank at least 6 diet cokes and so much bread) all thanks to Nick! This dinner was amazing and a great memory and way to celebrate my sister. Thanks Carrabba and Nick! Can’t wait to have another party here!“

“Had such a great time at Swamp House Riverfront Grill today! Sat at the bar with an old friend and everything was on point. Huge shoutout to Hailey, our bartender — she was amazing and really made the experience. We had burgers and key lime pie (so good), and she even let us try some gator bites — delicious! Great food, great vibe, and truly top-notch service. Definitely recommend this place, especially if you get the chance to sit at the bar with Hailey! 👏🍔🥧“

“After my wife's surgery follow-up appointment today, she decided on authentic Greek cuisine as her "lollipop" for withstanding more poking & prodding. Curious about how Mykonos/Longwood would stand up to Hellas in Tarpon Springs, we ventured in. Greeted by a smiling employee we were soon seated and looking over the menu. From the time we sat, Morgan our server was excellent. Cheerful, attentive, and very polite, she treated us like we were royalty. Our appetizer was fried zucchini, very good. The rice soup and salad was perfect. When Morgan brought the entrees of lamb chops & pastitsio - we knew we had to order some for the next two days at home! Everything was fantastic. And we didn't have to go to Tarpon Springs! Instead we found our Greek home food, right here in Longwood. Be sure to ask for Morgan! And hats off to the chef!“

“Came in for the first time last night. Service and food were phenomenal. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!“

“We have been customers of Carrabba’s for over 25 years, but unfortunately, the lasagna at the Sanford location has changed. Our recent order arrived with almost no pasta, mostly cheese and sauce. The manager kindly replaced it and offered a discount, which we appreciated, but the second lasagna still only had one layer of pasta. This is not about compensation — it’s about consistency and quality. We hope Carrabba’s brings back the lasagna quality we have enjoyed for many years.“

“My husband and I decided to stop in for lunch being that we were in the area. I had the chicken bowl and my hubby had the steak bowl with a side of tostones. The portions were perfect and the taste was awesome. Very tasty... clean restaurant, reasonable prices and fast with your order. Will go again. 👍🫶“

“Just went to Broadway pizza on 434 this evening with my parents.. from the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were well taken care of!! Thank you specifically to our server, Bracus, for going above and beyond in making sure we had everything we needed! So so kind & attentive - we will definitely be going back to Broadway for great food & friendly faces!“

“Sat in the back room along Lake Monroe. Beautiful view! Lisa was our server…GREAT, low-key, kind service. Got the whole Red Snapper with some specials requests and all were met. Another guest had a special request and it was honored as well. Only reason for 4 stars atmosphere was it was a bit loud only due to one party making lots of noise. Other than that-a perfect dinner. Thanks, Lisa!“

“Came in for the first time last night. Service and food were phenomenal. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!“

“It was absolutely delicious!!I had the steak tip appetizers, sweet tea brine marinated pork chops with mixed potatoes and asparagus, creme brulee“

“Legitemately the best Chinese takeout of all time. My husband grew up with this place, when we met he introduced me and I knew I could never eat at any other Chinese takeout again! The quality at Wah Yoan is unmatched! We don't even live in the are anymore and I still send my husband 30 mins away to pick it up or willingly pay a long distance delivery fee specifically to get it from here. A problem I've had with other Chinese takeout places (besides quality in general) is the fried items always taste nasty like bad oil and chicken pieces are typically... odd. I'm very particular about chicken. At Wah Yoan though? I will eat an entire container of chicken without thinking twice! Their fried items are the absolute best as well. I love their egg rolls. It's hard to recommend one thing because actually everything is good, but I would say the honey chicken is a stand out! I will continuing spreading the Wah Yoan gospel, please never close shop!!“

“BEST CRABS AROUND ORLANDO!!!! Y’all don’t know what ya talkin bout! It’s not breading it’s seasoning and if u don’t want it all u have to do is tell them. Their a very nice couple you just gotta know how to talk to them. I recommend them to everyone that asks about crabs! And I’m there almost every other week lol“

“Amazing restaurant, the food is amazing and great service“
