Great atmosphere (especially outside), delicious food, and average prices. The service can be slow because sometimes there's tremendous amounts of people but other than that it's a really nice place to eat.

Terrible experience at one of their special wine dinners, the Banfi Wine Experience where I paid $155/ticket to attend. I emailed days before to make sure the event was going to be in the same room as the dueling piano show, and Myjo assured me it was, and said, quote, “definitely within hearing of the dueling pianos.”When we got there, they sat us outside, which was nowhere in earshot or eyesight of the piano show. I voiced my concern and asked to speak to a manager. A young woman (medium length blondish hair) came out. She had the absolute worst attitude with me and was snippy and combative with me and kept cutting me off when I tried to show her my email exchange with Myjo. I was frankly appalled at the way she treated me, and I flat out told her I did not appreciate her attitude with me.At the dinner event, she was working there, unfortunately, and the waiters would deliberately give me a much smaller wine pour than everyone else. Meanwhile, the big group next to us were getting free pours of extra wine anytime their glasses got low. Come to find out, they were all friends of the event organizers. Well, aren’t they special. Isn’t that great for them, but they should have treated everyone around them equally.They also forgot to give me my steak knife, didn’t give our side any butter for our bread, and finally I had had enough and asked that my wine pour be equal to everyone else’s, which was noticeably larger. The waiter actually said to me, “Our next course is quite heavy, so we’re doing a light pour on our wine.” WHAT?! Meanwhile the big group next to us is getting an endless pour into their wine glasses!The only positive of the night for the restaurant was the food was very delicious.

Food was presented well but 2 of us were sick later after dinner. Please be aware of the added fees ( entertainment fee!?). Didn’t even hear a performance where we were seated AND a LARGE tip was addrd to our bill of THREE people… never have I seen an added automatic tip with under 6 people at the table. Consequently, we DOUBLE tipped the server. Our fault for not looking carefully at the bill, but I think this is a little slimy of OFFH…. Was my favorite restaurant, and would ALWAYS tell friends to go, but NEVER again!!!

Old Florida Fish House was amazing. The outdoor eating area is wide and expansive and allows for a nice breeze. The food was delicious and was a very nice portion.

My family attends the Seabreeze jazz festival annually, and look forward to visiting the Old Florida Fish House during the visit.We had dinner there last night and was very disappointed. The first set of entries were returned because they were room temperature.I have had the gropper dish before, so we ordered two. It was under seasoned, and overly complex. Generally lacklusterThe key lime pie which is normally excellent, included chocolate shavings that took away from the dish.Not their best performance

Do not go to the 30A vicinity without going to the Old Florida Fish House. People will make fun of you. Seriously good food. It is a tradition.Also, people will make fun of you if you don't get one of their deserts but they will understand if you had to get it to go....the portions are large.

Highly recommend! We accidentally found this place looking for a restaurant open after 9pm. The grounds are stunning in a casual-upscale way. The outdoor area closed at 9 so they took us to the bar area where there was live music (The musician was great!). The bartender taking care of us was friendly, prompt, and always made sure we had what we needed. We ordered tuna dip, fried shrimp basket, & fried grouper basket. All of it was 10/10. It wasn’t over cooked which is what you get most places.If we had more time, we’d go back again.
