Bluefin Grill & Bar - (Near The Villages, FL)

Kitty Carlisle My family treated me to dinner at Emerald Isle Seafood during my visit to FL from AZ and I was very impressed. The atmosphere was welcoming, with the walls decorated in an oceanic theme and the background music the perfect volume (low enough for patrons to easily converse, while loud enough to enjoy the classic/popular selection). The staff were not only extremely friendly and professional, our waitress in particular was accommodating by offering helpful suggestions to alternative dishes so I could adhere to my restrictive diet. Her memory was sharp as our group of 5 made changes as we ordered and as we eventually even added food to go (tuna dip for more out of town guests arriving the next day and frozen alligator tail to cook at a later date). I was pleasantly surprised when she produced a gluten-free and dairy-free menu that detailed which foods were compliant and which could be prepared in such a way as to not adversely affect those with dietary allergies or sensitivities. Of particular note was the delicious food: prepared to perfection and in generous portions. The creamy, Smoked Tuna Dip was flavorful (and rapidly consumed), and the Surf and Surf (shrimp and snow crab legs) was specially prepared without spices for me and was still absolutely mouth watering. And the Buffalo Chicken Tender PoBoy, Mahi-Mahi Orleans, Chicken Strip Sandwich with Texas toast were all eaten with gusto. This dinner was a highlight of my visit so far and plans were made to return for both lunch and dinner in the future. I highly recommend this little gem of a restaurant and look forward to coming back the next time Im in the area.

Robert Hancock Its not often that we find a combination of very tasty food and great service in a sit down chain restaurant. The food tonight was worthy of a 4.5 and service was definitely 5-stars. And, they had some bargain specials. Mine was a 3-selection appetizer plate thats really a full meal for only $14.99, while my compadres had a the two meals for $25 special. Everybody liked their food. Check out the pics! Our waitress Ashleigh was great - friendly, attentive, efficient. We would definitely ask for her next time. Thank you!

Monica I had so much fun here the other day, I had to come back. So I was here again today and I was so fortunate that Amber the bartender was working again cause she is awesome. I highly recommend you come on down and say hi to Amber.

Korra S This place honestly impressed me. I am not a huge Spanish food person so I was hesitant to go, however my aunt wanted to celebrate her birthday here so I gave it a chance. We started with empanadas (delicious), burrata, and salsa. The salsa doesn’t feel homemade/fresh but was still enjoyable. However the dinner was outstanding. I ordered the Mar Y Tierra. I would definitely order this again, next time over noodles instead of rice. It was very tasty. Service was great too.

Tim L We come to Fort Myers every year and this was our first time stumbling across Hooked. We were on the hunt for fresh oysters and it was happy hour here. The oysters were fresh and delicious. We decided to go ahead and grab lunch. The menu is amazing. They had me at grouper crunch wrap supreme. My wife got the blackened Mahi Mahi tacos and my son got a tropical shrimp wrap. Everything was top notch. Well definately make an annual stop when we get down here. Couldnt recommend it enough.

Vaedra Jones My mom is 82 and weighs 100lbs. She was cold. I was very comfy and appreciative of the breeze coming off of the water. I bought her a hoodie at the gift shop next door. Great option if you have a party member who is always cold. Food was delicious and the waitress and trainee were marvelously kind, beautiful, and smily.
