Omg this food was truly amazing! The seafood was so fresh and the marriage of flavors in the blackened snapper dish was amazing. It had a beautiful coconut curry sauce which really complimented the fish. Our service was also really great. Our servers were very kind and made great recommendations. This place is small so I highly recommend making a reservation. It was cozy though and almost had a supper club type ambiance to it with very relaxing jazz music. I can't wait to go back! read more

Boca Fish House - Blackened snapper - Seafood Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

This was our first time trying Boca Fish House. It's located in a strip mall and it was a great find. The dining room is small with a few seats at the bar. We had a 8pm reservation but arrived early and chose to dine at the bar. They also have a few tables outside near the entrance of the main dining room. It was extremely busy but the staff were efficient and attentive. Let me say the seafood is amazing here! I can see why they're so busy. I was on a date with my guy and our entrees were both delicious! The sweet potato crusted grouper was just incredible! Loved the flavors and how well the dish prepared. The shellfish pan roast was art on a plate! It had Lobster, shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels swimming in a tasty brandy infused tarragon tomato sauce. All the seafood was cooked to perfection and the creamy sauce made this dish really stand out. Although the restaurant lacks ambience it makes up for it with their incredibly fresh seafood! If you're a seafood lover you must make a visit to Boca Fish House. read more

Had dinner the other night. Me and my partner both had Chilean Seabass with gnocchi. Seabass was absolutely amazing. The gnocchi was gummy, not soft and pillowy, big disappointment. My partner who 99.9% of the time always finishes the meal did not because of the gnocchi. I took the fish home because I couldn't finish. Service was excellent. I called the restaurant and I wanted a call back from the owner/Chef and Amy said she would let the Chef know. I asked her do you have my name and phone number and she said no, so how can the Chef call me back to discuss? Very poor customer service. read more

Ever since coming to South Florida, we've been on the hunt for excellent seafood, only to be repeatedly disappointed. Well, finally, we have arrived - Boca Fish House delivers on some of the best seafood in the business. Truly, it was an outstanding culinary experience. The bread was incredible: Freshly baked and served with an oil-vinegar-parmesan cheese dip. The Lobster bisque was solid, though not exceptional. All of the fish was excellent, in particular my grouper, served with Swiss chard and corn salsa - all the textures were distinct and stood out. Service was cordial and attentive throughout the meal. The only disappointment was the ambiance. We sat outdoors and were distracted by music and nearby competing venues, giving a dining experience that felt disjointed with the high-quality service we enjoyed. If possible, sit indoors, meaning reservations are necessary. read more

Very good food. We shared steamed mussels in a white wine sauce, crudo with passion fruit sauce, and grilled octopus. All were seasoned and cooked well and very nicely balanced with sweet and salt with textures! We shared the mixed grill for our meal which was very tasty and the 3 sides of roasted root veggies, mushroom risotto and truffle Parmesan fries. No dessert because we were stuffed. Service was good. My favorite was the mushroom risotto side!! So yummy!! read more

Still wonderful. This time we had the assorted seafood pan. Lobster tail, scallops, shrimp, clams and mussels. Every bite was yummy. My husband had the sirloin. He shared a small bite and it was delicious. Mixed green salad to start and chocolate cake to end. All around a great meal. read more

Chef/owner Daniel Cournoyer is doing a remarkable job at his very popular spot. This is probably my 5th visit since I discovered BFH a little over a year ago, and each time the small, intimate space has been filled with happy patrons. No surprise, the chef continues to wow us with his excellent cuisine. Here you can count on the freshest top-quality fish, cooked perfectly and with imagination. Each dish always seems to have an element that takes it to another level. Chef Cournoyer is doing all the cooking... and it's so intimate, you feel a connection to the kitchen. The plates arrive piping hot... always love that, so rare. All the salads are great. Tonight, I chose my favorite...Crispy Romaine with Granny Smith Apple Hearts of palm, crumbled blue cheese, pancetta, candied walnuts, white balsamic vinaigrette. Great combination of flavors, really a light dish. Others enjoyed their excellent Caesars. Don't overlook the warm rolls they bring out with their special dip... so good and perfect along with the salads. The Jumbo Lump Crab Cake with roasted corn salsa, grape tomatoes, baby arugula, garlic-cilantro- chili aioli is a real winner. My entre tonight was fantastic. Jumbo Lump Crab Stuffed Giant Shrimp, sweet pea risotto, white wine lemon butter. Loved it! Tuna Steak, crispy fried rice cake, stir fried vegetables, garlic chili aioli, tomato salsa was also a winner. Crème Brule and Key Lime rounded out another great meal here. For wine, a bottle of ZD Chardonnay was perfect. (also avail by the glass) Samantha provided service to match the incredibly high quality of the meal. She's knowledgeable, personable and efficient. No online reservations. Need to call. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

We ate here again with another couple. Same set up as before, reservations for outside at 5pm. Located in a strip mall, outside covered space shared with a Jersey Mike's and Japanese Sushi restaurant. The fact that this restaurant didn't have every table taken filled when they opened suggests to me that people just don't know how good the food is at this place. For every Snowbird and visitor to this area, this is a must go to place for all of you. The food here is just simply the best. The chef here is gem and a master of flavor. I ordered the Seafood Pan Roast and have to say every piece of fish was a just fantastic. The sauce that accompanied the dish was 100% drinkable and the crispy bed of pasta upon which it was all served was clever and delicious. I would suggest having at hand a piece of their delicious bread to sop up every bit of sauce. I also have to call out the creme brulee as one of the best versions of that dish anywhere. Can't say enough about this place. I will be back. You all should give it a try! read more

Small, jammed in a strip shopping center, sharing outdoor space with 3 other "casual" eateries. Beer & wine license only. I'm overdressed in heels & satin shirt. And out comes a meal that you would expect from a high end restaurant served by the most efficient server I have met in a long time. Would I recommend??? Hell, yes! Will I go back? Another, hell yes. read more

Last night my husband & I took my in-laws to Boca Fish House to celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary. First of all, the meal, beginning with the hot rolls to our entrees, were delicious! Secondly, the servers were lovely. At the end of our meal, they surprised us with two desserts adorned with candles for my in-laws special event. We were impressed & will definitely return next time we are in the area. The amazing thing is that I only mentioned my in-laws wedding anniversary in passing, as I made the reservation. One thing to note is that the restaurant is small, so a reservation is the best way to go. read more

Ordered the sautéed Chilean Sea Bass Potato Gnocchi, wild mushrooms, baby spinach, heirloom tomatoes, garlic, fresh herbs, white wine lemon butter and my boyfriend ordered the Pan Seared Giant Sea Scallops, roasted root vegetables, crispy Brussels sprouts, sweet potato puree Florida citrus butter. The sea bass was so amazing, it was one of the best meals I ever had and paired great with the Sauvignon blanc that the server, Jen, suggested. The sea-bass was perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside. I tried my boyfriend scallops and they were cooked perfectly and the sweet potato puree really complimented the dish. The strawberry shortcake dessert was excellent. You could tell everything was super fresh. I recommend making a reservation because they have limited seating. Jen was excellent. Can't wait to come back! read more

Hidden gem with delicious food and good staff! Really enjoyed our dinner in this quaint little restaurant right next to Town Center Mall. The ambiance on a Sunday evening was calm and we were one of three dining parties at 6 PM. We didn't have a reservation but I would recommend making one on the weekends or if you have a party of 4 or more. Seating is limited, though there are tables outside. I studied the menu ahead of time and was really excited to try the dishes here. We started with nice fresh hot bread with a parmesan cheese pesto oil dip. It was so good!! Unfortunately, when we ordered, the one dish my mom wanted was the Chilean sea bass and they were out of sea bass and wouldn't substitute the fish with that specific cooking style. However, her sweet potato crusted grouper was absolutely delicious with the crispy top and the tender fish, it complimented texture and taste perfectly. My pan seared sea scallops were big, juicy and amazing. The sweet potato hash it came with was savory and sweet. The added spinach and corn was great too. I'm not a big beets person but the beet carpaccio was refreshing and light. With the slight bitterness of the arugula and the rich creaminess of the goat cheese, the dish was perfect. Our server was very sweet and checked on us often. Will come back again soon and make sure to call ahead to check the menu availability. read more

You know that old song from A Chorus Line? Dance 10, Looks 3? Well that could be applied to the Boca Fish House for while it's not much to look at, squeezed into a strip mall by a Publix and a sandwich place, what it puts out in terms of delicious food is certainly a 10+! We met some friends here for dinner the other night and I must say, it impressed on every level. It's small, really small, so we opted to sit outside which is basically out front in the shopping center. Make a reservation or you might not get in and that would be a huge miss on your part. We were greeted by our server who explained to us that the chef used to work at the Blue Moon Fish company until he and his wife decided to open this place. They do serve wine by the bottle and glass so that was a nice surprise as well. We started with the apple and romaine salad which also had hearts of palm, bleu cheese and walnuts. It was very good. We also tried the lobster bisque, crab cakes and clam appetizer. All were very tasty. For our entrees we tried a range of the menu with the sea bass, snapper sesame tuna and swordfish. All were delicious and worth a re visit. Parking is free in the huge Publix lot. Sometimes the best food comes in the least expected places and the Boca Fish House certainly delivers on that. read more

Went by for lunch, as they hadn't had any available tables the two evenings I thought about just popping in. If you ate at the previous restaurant in that location, the decor is essentially the same I believe although I believe the shore wall decorative items are new. I do not remember if the wall mural is new. Either way, though the interior is not large, it is comfortable. Our waitress was a friendly host and provided a good experience. I started with the gumbo, which while not in the top five I have had (which all five were in or around NOLA), it was quite serviceable for this area. There was plenty of lump crabmeat, a good amount of popcorn shrimp, and what I believe was diced ham. It didn't seem to be diced andouille as I didn't pick up any discernible smokiness. Regardless, I would order it again. My fish and chips wasn't a traditional British version, but was pretty decent. The slaw and salad were both good. The complete Fish and Chips entree worked well together though and I would certainly consider ordering it again, although not without sampling a different menu item first. My wife had the Crabcake Chopped Salad. The crabcake was good sized, full of lump crabmeat, and had a nice flavor profile. As you might expect the lunch menu has considerably less options compared to the full dinner menu, but there are other proteins available for lunch. Definitely worth a visit, and you most likely will enjoy your meal. It's not cheap, but who really wants cheap seafood? If you did, you'd stop by the frozen food section of your supermarket and shop carefully... read more

What a little gem of a restaurant--local, chef-driven primarily seafood establishment. Limited seating, so reservations are a must before 8:00PM located in a small strip center. Had the snapper (in a cast iron skillet on a bed of rice with light creamy red sauce with shrimp and mussels) and chilean sea bass (in a bed of corn chowder). WOW!! Then finished with maple walnut creme de mol eau (sp?). Another WOW!! A definite must for seafood lovers!! read more

We met another couple here for dinner last night, and had a reservation. We were seated outside and, unfortunately, it was raining quite hard. The rain was actually splashing all of us but there was no where else to sit. It turns out that the outdoor ceiling in the plaza had some holes. The waitress was extremely friendly and helpful, and gave thoughtful advice for ordering. My wife and I shared the mussels for an appetizer, and enjoyed it thoroughly! The sauce was so delicious that I drank some with a spoon (to my wife's dismay). For my entree, I had the pan seared sea scallops. While the scallops themselves were cooked to perfection, I was slightly disappointed by the mango (glaze I think?) and other aspects of the dish. It lacked flavor, and I wasn't a huge fan of the cabbage. My wife had the blackened yellowtail snapper that came with coconut rice. Neither of us particularly enjoyed it, and the fish was a touch dry. The sauce was very tasty though! For dessert we had the key lime pie. It was tasty! I give the pie itself 4/5 stars. It was a bit firm, and hard to scoop bites from, and slightly less tart than I prefer, but otherwise it was thoroughly delicious! I would probably come again, but would try to sit inside and possibly do some more research on the menu beforehand. read more

4.5/5. Neighborhood gem If you are a seafood lover like me, you should check out this neighborhood gem we tried last night called Boca Fish House It's located in the Garden Shops a few doors down from Publix. There's plenty of parking with both limited indoor & outside seating. The chef & team did a great job. They serve quality food made fresh to order. The dishes were very flavorful too. We started with an order of steamed middle neck clams. I tried their grouper with a sweet potato crust. My wife had the pan seared sea scallops. Everything was delicious including the dip they brought out for their rolls. I can't wait to go back and try a few other items. Aimee our server was helpful & didn't forget about us as we were the only folks eating outside. They also have a few dishes to accommodate the non seafood lovers. read more

We met friends for dinner here. The restaurant is small. It's located between the Publix and Jersey Mike's. We were familiar with the location as we used to come here when it was a French restaurant. The current owners have done a lovely job of redoing the interior. They've opened up the space by adding a viewable kitchen and a bar/counter. It's comfortable yet welcoming -- just like the staff made us feel. My husband and I started by sharing a salad of romaine with apples, hearts of palm, blue cheese, and candied walnuts. It was a good choice. Our friends had their steamed mussels (with a broth that cried out for more bread to be dipped in it!) and a creamy lobster bisque. For entrees, each couple got the shellfish pan roast and shared. The dish included a Florida lobster tail, mussels, clams, scallops, and shrimp in a yummy tomato tarragon cream sauce. There was also an angel hair pasta crispy "cake" that was a nice bit of carbs to soak up some sauce. Double yum. And for dessert, we chose the white chocolate banana mousse. This was a sweet yet light confection. I really loved everything we had. It would be hard not to get the pan roast again although the crusted grouper or the shrimp and clam tagliatelle could be good choices, if he doesn't want to share. Or he's very hungry and wants it all to himself! Just fyi, if you don't like seafood, there is a steak dish and one chicken dish. Reservations are highly recommended as they're small and will be getting even busier as "season" approaches. Hoping to be a frequent diner here... read more

Huge Flavor, Service, Ambiance packed into this small but welcoming spot! My wife and I used to come here when it was a French restaurant. Boca Fish House has opened up the interior, added a bar and a visible kitchen. Seating is limited inside but you are not crowded. They do offer outside seating as well. Reservations are strongly recommended. The salad options and appetizers are intriguing as well as delicious and large enough to share if you desire. Entrees are also inviting and we had the Roast pan of mixed seafood which was delicious and the sauce was wonderful. (Made even better by their fresh baked breads). The kitchen was kept busy and did a fantastic job in turning out meals for all of the happy diners! We had a Banana White Chocolate Mousse that was over the top wonderful! We will be making more reservations in the future to savor some great seafood dishes! read more

This was a Friday evening with friends for dinner. It was the first time being there for all of us. It is located in a plaza with plenty of parking but not obvious to be seen. It is a small venue so you need to make a reservation at least two weeks in advance during the winter season when so many snowbirds are in town. Samantha was our lovely waitress who took care of us. They do have a limited bar. Cocktails and martinis are basically out of a can. But they do have wine. The menu is beautiful. All the fish items are very fresh and portions are generous. To start they included warmed crusty bread and an interesting and delicious pesto parmesan dip on the table. We shared a lovely bowl of mussels the others had a Caesar salad. I had the rare tuna mixed with veggies and lo mein which was delicious. The others raved about their dishes as well. Paul has the swordfish, and our friends had the stuffed shrimp and snapper. Unfortunately several items on menu which we might have chosen instead were gone prior to ordering. We only arrived at 7:15pm. There is no doubt that we will return. read more

I made dinner reservations via Google for 8/3/24 @ 6:45. Received confirmation. Only a confirmation for date, attendees and time. When I arrived at BFH, I was told rest atoms was for outside per Google. So, I googled. Google: Google asks for availability, not inside or outside. Outside in 95% humidity. Really? My husband and I have been regulars at BFH. We have sent many friends to dine there. Amy, did not handle this situation well. She said "dine at our bar" which had reservation signs on it. She should have said I'm sorry for the confusion . Please sit at the bar. Have a glass of wine or whatever on us. I'm so sorry for the confusion. All that was said: Google booked the outside. There's nothing we-I can do to help. Really? Bad Google. Bad Boca Fish House. Poor customer service to loyal customers. We left. So so disappointed in all encountered this evening. Will we go back to BFH? ‍ read more

Tucked in an alcove in the Garden shopping center. Small restaurant with a larger seating area outside. Very nice upscale wine list. Very good and attentive service especially Selina, our server. For starters, I had the clams on the half shell with a traditional cocktail sauce. Good but they were the littlenecks, small. My wife the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake, roasted corn, grape tomatoes, baby arugula, and a garlic-cilantro chili aioli, Good but she has had much better. For mains, I opted for the blackened Yellow Tail Snapper, sautéed shrimp, black mussels, yellow curry coconut cream, mixed nuts, heirloom tomatoes, fried rice cake, with an avocado butter. An unusual dish bursting with a lot of flavor. My wife wife chose the Sweet Potato Crusted Grouper, rainbow Swiss chard, roasted cor read more
