14 Best Seafood Restaurants near Ocklawaha

“Went there on 4/12/2026. Had a fish sandwich platter. It was very good and fresh. Had key lime pie for dessert that was pretty good. The waitress by contrast, had a bad attitude and gave my friend incorrect change. I may not return to this place just because of the attitude. There is another restaurant on the other side of the lake with better food and better servers.“

“Traveling from South Florida back up north and gave this a try. Happy to find out management is from New England (Salisbury Beach) made it all the better. Food, atmosphere, price and service 👍 Make this one of your stops for sure.“

Even the manager stopping by the table to chat and check on us made us feel special. Salmon and chicken Kiev ate highly recommended , hats off to the kitchen.“

“I came in last Wednesday evening (4/1). I arrived shortly after the space launch. Came in and grabbed a seat at the bar. James immediately greeted me and got me a cold beer. I ordered the jambalaya and some grilled wings. Both were extremely good! One thing I noticed was that James never stopped. He constantly moving and taking care of other guests. He seemed to know most of the guests by name. I thought he did an excellent job and truly is an asset to your restaurant. Thanks for a great meal. I’ll be back next time in town. Jackson“
