Reel Fish Coastal Kitchen and Bar - (Near Winter Park, FL)

Eric We have been here a few times and the food is always good. They sometimes have a DJ/singer that plays good music, which always makes it fun, although sometimes the music is a bit too loud. I think lunch and dinner music should be loud enough to hear and enjoy, but not so loud that you have to raise your voice to have a conversation, which is the only reason I gave it 4 stars for atmosphere since thats just my opinion. But the food and service are always great! We had the fish and chips, french dip, and the salmon and they were all delicious! The cole slaw was especially good, and thats not as easy to do as it sounds. Some make it too sweet, some make it too bland, but the Tidehouse makes it just perfect. Prices are comparable to other water-side restaurants in the area, and as I said, the staff is always friendly and the food always comes out hot and tasty. We always sit outside so we have a great view of the water and the boats sailing by, and the complimentary valet takes the stress out of trying to find parking. In addition to that, they have an elevator that takes you right from the valet station up to the restaurant, which was very helpful for my disabled mother. The only suggestion I would make would be to perhaps put a little less breading on the fish for the fish and chips. But we have enjoyed it each time we have come here and would definitely recommend it!

Johnathan Jester Lots of activity in front of Toms Chicken Shack today! If you are this close you better go get some of that Amazing Chicken! Toms is an institution here in Bartow and cant be missed.

MaryMargaret Poll My husband and I tried the 3 assorted tacos, 1 mahi mahi, 1 birria and 1 carne asada. All three were amazing and delicious, packed with meat and flavor. I can’t wait to come back and try more. These were seriously the best tacos I have ever had and the young man in charge checked on us and other guests regularly and was very friendly and professional. I’ll be back next week for sure. I can’t wait to turn my friends onto them. Wow!☺️❤️

Joshua E. Bishop Rachel was our server and she was wonderful. The food was delightful as always. We went the Saturday before Christmas and even though the crowds were everywhere and everything seemed extra busy, the atmosphere and service was top notch and we were welcomed and served near immediately. I would personally recommend their Ribeye. It’s an excellent and was cooked exactly as I requested.

Nickolas Whidden We had a great visit to Pier 220. We sat outside where theres a beautiful view. Typically places with spread out, outside seating have terrible service. Definitely not the case here the service was excellent. Theres an inside area that you can choose if weather is not favorable otherwise I would suggest outside seating. They have a nice covered outside bar as well. If you choose dinner plenty of amazing photos ops. The food was excellent. Apps.. Grouper bites were excellent. Tarter sauce tastes homemade. Smoked fish dip was good. Our waiter recommended Jalapenos. They are sliced fresh so they carry more heat than pickled jalapenos. They really brought out the flavors and smokiness of the dip its a great recommendation if you can stand the heat. Mains The taco are phenomenal choice. The pico has pineapple and mango which my friends love. I dont like salsas with either of those so I had to pass. I wish they had a non- pineapple or mango option but not worth deducting stars. I had the fish sandwich as you can see generous filet blackened to perfection. Again tartar sauce is excellent. I got the side salad. Blue cheese tasted like Kens which is not my favorite. I probably wont do that next time. The Ahi Tuna salad looked delicious. My friend really enjoyed that one he gave it 5 stars. The Crab and shrimp tacos were Loaded with the goods. It looked good and my friend gobbled. Highly recommended. My wife loves peel and eat shrimp. If you are a purest, I would skip this one. They tasted more like shrimp cocktail than peel and eat. If you dont know or care then you will probably like these. If you do know the difference and prefer traditional then skip this item. Overall great meal. I love restaurants where the manager takes time to check on every table. That type of oversight always shows an expectation of good service. Take a look at the map before you come. The map does tell where to turn but it doesnt seem correct because the restaurant is another 1500 feet down so I is easy to miss. If you miss you have to go all the way across the bridge u-turn and come back. This place is pet friendly outside saw several dogs. The outside seating is wooden seats I saw some people who brought stadium cushions and one group their own chairs. The seats are bit high so short adults feet wont touch the ground. The only item we didnt love was the

Derese My niece and I spent the day in Sanford and couldn’t decide where to go for brunch. When it started to sprinkle, we decided to stop at Buster’s Bistro, and I’m so glad we did! The bottomless mimosas were a much better deal than ordering by the glass—and they were delicious. I ordered the Croque Monsieur, an open-faced sandwich piled high with ham and Swiss, topped with a creamy Mornay sauce. It was absolutely delicious! My niece had the sugar waffles and chicken, which she also loved. I also ordered a Bistro Burger (medium well) to go for my husband, and he said it was cooked to perfection. It came with lettuce, tomato, onion, house pickles, American cheese, and garlic aioli on a brioche bun, served with home fries. All in all, Buster’s was a great find on a rainy day—delicious food, good vibes, and excellent drinks. We’ll definitely be back!
