29 Best Seafood Restaurants near Placida

“Very, very busy when we were there mid March 2022 so I'll certainly cut them some slack for (kind of) slow service. Our server really hustled and when the food arrived it was really good. If you like a good sized burger, this is the place! Fries were fantastic, too. One small complaint; Cool Pickle is a place where they sometimes have (continuous) karaoke, which I can personally do without. Kinda loud and difficult to have a conversation with the other diners we were with. Some of the performers couldn't carry a note if they had a 5 gallon pail, but some were quite good. However, very good for the most part and I will be returning again.“

“Had another great dinner at Farlows this evening. Our server Charli was very attentive and answered all of our questions on the menu. This was our 4th time here in the past year and I have tried something different each time. This time I had the Kentucky Hot Brown, which was very good. There are so many unique meals on the menu I can't wait to return and try another one.“

“We always have a good time when we go, as long as we can get our seats at the bar! I'm so ready for Stone Crabs!“

“Paige was our server and was wonderful. The food was delicious and I give them 5 Stars. I had the clam chowder and shrimp po boy. Loved it. Family tried oysters for the first time and crawfish. They were all happy.“

“Stopped by for a late lunch after cleaning up the insulation and mold damage in my Rotonda West apartment.....food was excellent and the service was excellent.... Coming back again this week and planning on stopping once again“

“So good!! We ate here twice while in BG. We loved their sausage & pepper app. We did takeout this time around, ravioli w/ meat sauce & fet alf. & Italian sausage. The pasta is so homemade & the Alf sauce was perfect, not too heavy , just right! I def recommended the food & will 100% be back next visit . Thank you for the delish food!!“

“The water taxi ride is normally only $6 per person (but actually free for the entire month of Aug 2025!). Not sure why people are saying it's $20-30 for the Water Taxi listing in Maps. The cost of the average meal at the Rum Bay *restaurant* on the island is close to that, so the expenses for each different entity involved needs to be separated.“

“This is another place that deserves more than a 1000 reviews.
I stopped here first to pick up lunch for the groom and friends, when someone mentioned about their popar lobster sandwiches. Although they are a bit expensive ($34), it was worth every bite.
Came back the next day for another lobster sandwich and crab cake, and it tastes gooooddd, is still the best sandwich I have ever had.“

“After a long day of driving, this place was exactly what we needed. The ambiance is relaxing and welcoming, with all staff smiling. Jody, our server, was attentive and pleasant. I had the Caesar salad with seared tuna, and it was superb (photo). My wife had the "small" shrimp and grits, and it was tasty as well as a generous portion. We shared the mango key lime pie, which was delicious. Sometimes you just get lucky; tonight was one of those times.“

“Great food great service great views and some of the hardest working owner's plus the general manager and her husband that I know !!! Plus I can't wait to see it when it's all remodeled from the storm !!! They are still open and ready to fill you up on some very tasty and delicious food !!! It's on the beach what more could you ask for!!!You got to try it out!!! Then take a walk on the beach.“

“The service by server "Mel" was outstanding. She was knowledgeable and professional. Mel was very thoughtful and attentive. Mel made my time there very pleasant.“

“We loved South beach Grille. The food was great. The pasta is sneaky good and I had USDA Choice Cheeseburger that we was fantastic. The view is outstanding as the only restaurant on Boca Grande on the beach. great atmosphere for beach dining.“

“Compliments to the chef!😍 Food was delicious, service was great, staff is very accommodating, pleasant and welcoming. Definitely recommend.“

“Restaurant setting gets a 5, food gets a 3, which equals a 4 overall. Really nice marina setting in Bokelia. The venue is small but has a nice vibe, views, and service. The food was another story. Two of us had grouper sandwiches, and two of us had grouper platters (no bun). The sandwiches were (reportedly) OK, but the platters were not. The grouper in the platters was like small dried-out dollar pancakes. It's very disappointing for a restaurant chain that has been a mainstay in the area for many years. The operation on McGregor is not like this one. (food-wise).“

“My wife and I just had the best burgers and onion rings there. Really cool bar also.“

“First time at Isabella’s and won’t be the last. Cozy, quiet little Italian gem in a strip mall just past Rotonda. As other reviews stated, the only downside (if you can even call it that) is that for a party of two, they give you two pieces of bread….BUT, they quickly offer to replenish bread and the dipping oil was great! Everything we had, from starter, to salad / soup, entrees (BIG portions, we brought home half of each!) and we split a Limoncello flute for dessert. And, the best part, our server, Antonella, was just the best - friendly, cheerful, attentive and couldn’t have asked for more! Looking forward to our next visit there!“

“Katelyn was super sweet and super sociable. The food was great but our waitress truly made our meal memorable! We are a large family with younger children and she was great!“

“This place was a gem! The best calzone we’ve ever had! The crust was off the charts🙌🏻🔥 Savanna was a great server and she took good care of us! We will take the drive and come back!!!“

“Had a party of 10 and the service was good and the server did a good job of keeping up with our orders and keeping our drinks filled.
Food was good. Wasn't a huge fan of the brownie dessert.
We all really enjoyed the water taxi ride over to the restaurant.“

“They have the best seafood around!“

“Great food in an historical setting.“

“Thank you Stefanos for the best food drunk of the year. Tender Turkey , sausage stuffing , mashed potatoes and gravy and string beans. Topped off with Apple pie. It was wonderful. I gobbled till I wobbled. Two thumbs up 👍“

“Great drinks, great food, great service! love it here! Thanks!“

“Great selection, great food and great service......thank you Shannon!;“

“Decent food , good service. Sadly we made reservations and were seated in the entertainment space so were told we had limited time to eat and move. Entertainment was there barely an hour into our meal and we felt very rushed…. So much for reservations!“

“I don’t know how people can complain about the food. Especially this place. Always yummy and cooked well. There was one time we went and they served the wrong dish. Once. But I’ve been here many many times. Decided to finally leave a good review. I always get the sweet and sour chicken and rice, general chicken and rice, wonton soup, egg rolls, and/or other things randomly sometimes. Always good food. And I’ve never been sick eating from here. The food is served hot, so hot when I get home I gotta blow on it for a short bit, So never cold. The food is always filled to the brim of the take out dish. Well worth the price in my opinion since I usually stuff myself and still need to put left overs in the fridge. Cashiers are always nice and never wrong with the spare change. This is the only and best Chinese food in the area in my opinion. Highly recommend ordering out from here. 10/10“
