About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for happy hour
  • Good for special occasions
Reel Fish Coastal Kitchen & Bar is a contemporary version of a classic fish camp, serving fresh Florida seafood prepared in a southern style and served in a casual, family friendly environment.

The restaurant’s daily blackboard specials and core recipes feature creative takes on fresh-caught fish not typically found on many inland-Florida seafood restaurant menus, including tile fish, trigger fish, sheepshead, hogfish and other local species. The Reel Fish menu includes signature classics like fried seafood platters, shrimp & creamy cheese grits, whole fried market fish, such as yellow tail snapper, and Low Country Boils featuring shrimp, PEI mussels, scallops and snow crab legs.

Central to the restaurant is a raw bar serving oysters on the half shell, broiled, steamed and Rockefeller, as well as ceviche and peel & eat wild-caught Florida shrimp.

    As always the food was delicious and we enjoy the ambiance. We have dined here multiple times and have hosted family many of those visits. Service was quite slow this time, although we really do not mind so we can enjoy our dinner and wine. Others may not be as patient. Ran into an odd situation… the restaurant sent an email with an offer of $20.00 off $80.00. We were going for dinner regardless, but a nice surprise nonetheless. Ordered 2 drinks and an appetizer. Both were slightly discounted due to happy hour (we would have ordered anyway and did not even realize these items were discounted for happy hour… by $10). Ordered two mains, upgraded one to include scallops (knowing there was an up-charge). And a decent bottle of wine for $55 (at this restaurant one of the “better” bottles). Showed the email to the server at the end of the meal for the $20 discount, and she left to process. Server came back 3 minutes later to inform me that “you cannot combine discounts”. I paid the bill and left a 20% gratuity on the full, non discounted bill. Just odd. I get not combining discounts… say a coupon of some sort with another. But off a couple of happy hour items when ordering full mains and a non discounted bottle of wine seemed strange. I mean we could have not ordered the drinks and app and received the discount (I believe, even with narrow margins, there was something to be made even at happy hour pricing). And, the 20 off 80 is a better deal than 10 ultimately given for the drinks and app. To be clear, we do plan on returning, and did not expect the discount when I booked the reservation. Just perceived as an odd policy.

    Great place to eat for fresh seafood dishes. We stop in here every time we visit the Winter Park Theater or are in this area.

    The hostess is rude and disrespectful. It’s very difficult to understand why the owner would place a person with this immaturity in such an important position. We experience this on both visits to the restaurant. The waitress and waiters are very good. The food was very good on first visit. Grilled trout was over cooked second visit. All parties of two will only be seated in bar area even if you request dinning room. We are seniors and had dinner reservations for 5pm. The bar was packed with a much younger crowd. The dining room was empty . They told us we had to eat in the bar area I complained and the hostess told me they don’t guarantee seating request. Once we reached the 75 minute mark of our dinner they began to hover over us and we felt they wanted our table. Truly not impressed.

    Wish we’d known about this restaurant all these years they’ve been open. The menu is varied, food quality is through the roof, and the service was excellent. Not an every week outing, but definitely for special occasions and out-of-town family visits.

    As always, we had a delicious meal at one of our favorite restaurants. The service was spot-on and we had a delightful server, Cici. The owners are very personable and welcoming. We're always ready to recommend Reel Fish.

    Overall, a good dining experience. Our server had great energy and very attentive. With regards to the food, the fried fish batter didn’t hold so that wasn’t appetizing. The hush puppies had jalapeño peppers which was disappointing. Loved the muffin basket. The shrimp & grits and Red fish were good. My husband had the whole fish which was good but under seasoned. Loved the desserts. As I said, overall good experience considering it was very busy on Mother’s Day.
