I wanted a blackened fish sandwich for dinner on a Friday. I attempted Lighthouse in Lake Mary, but…read moreI have never seen it so crowded before. I had The Current bookmarked in Sanford and with it being only fifteen minutes away it was easy to get there. As I approached, I thought, "That's where it is?" I have passed the place many times but never knew it was there! It is a couter service place. Which mostly means a quick in and out. Plenty of seating inside and even some outside. I ordered my Blacken mahi sandwich with Old Bay fries and waited at a table for it to arrive. When it did, all I can say is, wow! Might of been the best blackened fish sandwich I have ever had, wow! The fries could have had a little more seaoning on them, but I was here for the fish and it ruled. Also, for a counter service place I had probably as many "how are you doing" checkins as I would have had with a table service place.

One of my favorite things about St. Johns River Steak & Seafood is that you're not just going there…read morefor dinner -- the location makes the whole experience. Sitting right on Lake Monroe with that view of the water, especially around sunset, is hard to beat in Sanford. The food is excellent too. They have a huge selection, so whether you're in the mood for seafood or a steak, there's something for everybody. The seafood always seems fresh, the portions are generous, and they don't skimp on the good stuff. The blackened fish with shrimp and crab risotto is a standout, and you hear people constantly talking about the grouper, shrimp and grits, conch fritters, gator bites and seafood combinations. Their steaks are also legitimately good, so you don't feel like you have to order seafood just because it's on the water. The atmosphere is probably what keeps me coming back. It's casual enough that you can bring the family, but the view makes it nice enough for a date night or special occasion. There's just something relaxing about eating dinner and looking out over the lake. Service has always been another big positive. The staff is friendly and attentive without hovering over you, and even when the restaurant is busy, they do a good job taking care of everyone. That seems to be something a lot of other people mention in their reviews as well. Good food, cold drinks, great service and one of the best restaurant views in Sanford. If somebody was visiting town and asked me where they could get some seafood and actually feel like they were in Florida, this would definitely be on my list.

This is one of my favorite seafood/steak restaurants in Sanford right on the water! Getting to the…read morerestaurant is super easy. It's a straight shot right by the water. The parking lot is spacious and they have free parking. I really like coming to this restaurant and asking to be seated by the windows. Around 4 to 6 PM on a summer night while you're eating you can look at the view and if you happen to get done early with dinner then you can walk right along the pier and even catch a nice sunset ! The food is really good too. I've been here twice and the two times that I've been here, I've gotten different meals but the waiters are really helpful with helping you decide what is best on the menu! When the waiters really know the menu and suggest items to help you narrow down your selection for me I enjoy that because I am indecisive lol. Anyways, check this place out if you're around, enjoy my pictures attached to this review the 2 separate occasions I've been here and I can't wait to come back!

At one point we asked her for a drink, she left us then started taking shots at the bar and then had to be reminded of the drink when she came back 10 min later.

Some of the restaurants that it opened with have left which is sad, but the ones that remain are solid offerings. I really enjoy the bar at the far end with their outdoor seating. Great option if you're meeting friends for dinner with and are having a hard time deciding on what to eat. Service at the bar is good but sort of non existent for the rest of the hall. A bit disappointing as we had to clean our own table before we could sit down. Regardless it's a great edition to Sanford's already solid food scene.

I had the Caesar salad and 1501 dry rub wings with ranch. Salad had corn bread croutons which could've been good but tasted like just oiled soaked stale dense bread. Dressing came on the side, which I'm guessing was due to a misunderstanding because my cousin asked for his wing hot sauce on the side. The chicken was chewy unfortunately. The skin was crispy and rub was good but the texture ruined it and they just tasted bad and overcooked. I would opt for another dinner choice or maybe they have other food that's better.

We ordered the big eats and added another half pound of snow crab legs and a half pound of headless shrimp. We split it in between two adults and one child and it was plenty. I found that the seasoning was a little overly salty and I normally am a salt lover. I even had to remove some of the seasoning off of some of the seafood. But overall it was delicious. It's a bit pricey but we enjoy going out to get a boil at least once a year and this franchise has always been our go to!

Went for an early Friday dinner of fish and chips and have been wanting to try this place out…read more Well the rumors are true, the fish was beautifully battered, fresh and flakey. The tartar sauce has to be home made because it was perfection. Fries were seasoned and cooked crispy but potato-y (IKYK). Like most the places in the food hall you order on a screen. We also went for an order of the hush puppies and friends let me tell you I have finally found incredible, soft but crispy, delicious and delicate hush puppies! And the homemade sauce to dip......Mmmmmm!They text you when your food is ready but because we took seats next door ours was delivered which I thought was extra nice. The food hall is fun, tables and chairs high tops and stools scattered throughout and The Basin is at the end if you are looking for a drink or two. Fun atmosphere, family feel. My only caution is to being your Stanley, I get why they charge the huge prices for the water and soda but that's just crazy lol.

Lighthouse is both a full seafood market and restaurant, giving you that fresh off the boat quality seafood cooked exactly how you like and served right to your table. I had the Blackened Grouper with broccoli and parsley red potatoes. The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly, super juicy and incredibly fresh. The sides were just as good paired with the fish perfectly. I also had a tasty little side Caesar salad. The house Caesar dressing was great, lightly dressed so it didn't drown the romaine like some places do, and finished with grated parmesan and crunchy croutons. Overall, this was a great meal. The service was great, the food was excellent, and I would highly recommend checking them out.

A wonderful happy hour menu, led us to a full menu of what felt like a farm to table experience. I sadly didn't get to snap a photo of the excellent appetizer buratta, but it was a perfect blend of balsamic tomato and creamy cheese! I am a true foodie, and this was hands-down the best burger I've ever eaten. My husband absolutely loved his shrimp and grits, perfectly cooked and well balanced flavor. Well, I know everyone recommends the chocolate cake, I can't rave enough about the crème brûlée. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to enjoy a " private chef experience" meal!
