We love this place so much that we plan trips just to eat here (this time we were staying in New Orleans for the week and drove the hour and a half just to eat their amazing food). You won't be disappointed. The drinks, food , service, and ambience ROCK!

I had Flounder and fried Okra... I was not impressed for $17 even at arrival the food was warm at best. The Fish had barely any flavor and I never got my Tatrtar Sauce requested. I also did not like getting my Tea in a paper Cup making me feel like I went to a drive thru but at restaurant prices. I hope my Friends Oysters were better.

Had coastal catfish and it was the best I have ever had. Server was extremely nice and helpful. Great atmosphere and beautiful view of the beach. Definitely worth the cost. I would recommend it to anyone.

My first time visiting the Reef with my husband and another couple was an awesome experience. Lake was fantastic she went above and beyond to answer our questions and concerns about our food choices. The food she recommended was great also. The ambiance was very inviting and warm. I would recommend the Reef for great service (especially Lake) and great food!Vegetarian options: Lake went back to the kitchen to see the ingredients in the veggie burger for us. It was 80/20.

Average food experience. Out waitress was great but the food was just okay.
Started out the experience with our server “what can I get yall to drink” no name, now how ya doing or nothing. The appetizer crab dip was pretty good but the queso chicken was dry, the rice was mushy and the corn was fine. I originally wanted to swap out my side for something else but the server didn’t stick around long enough for me to ask if it was even a possibility. The other person I was with said the shrimp and catfish had no flavor as well. The server didn’t check on us we had to ask someone else for a drink as well as the check.
