Came here to say to celebrate my wife's birthday. We got an outdoor table so we could enjoy the view. My wife ordered a Caesar salad and the Tropical Mahi Mahi. She enjoyed everything! I ordered my usual coconut shrimp with Brussels sprouts and whipped sweet potatoes. Yummy! We topped this off with a piece of carrot cake. This cake is on another level. WOW! Service is as always -excellent. The best thing is they take reservations and you can enjoy the view of the intercostal waterway. read more

Been in Florida for 25 years. This is one of my best. If not the best restaurant I've ever been in Bartender is a great serve is a great and most of all the manager is fantastic. It seems like he greets every guest. It is always moving around and make sure things are the way they're supposed to be running nice and smooth. Al Goslowski read more

UNDERWHELMING! First time here and it is a beautiful restaurant & service was excellent but the food was very disappointing. Food lacked flavor, onions rings were hard, lobster bisque had ZERO lobster meat and soup was very salty. Shrimp had no flavor, plantains were hard, ice tea was watery, no flavor. I don't understand how a place with so much potential could not deliver the most important item, Good Food. What was good? Staff & views were amazing. read more

I have eaten here twice and had a great time. Love the oyster house vibe and they offer a ton of outdoor dining options. The staff is very friendly. They seem to run a lot of specials, from lunch to happy hour deals to a small plates special menu, something for everyone. Great selection of cocktails, perfect for your summer party vibe from Mai tais to pina colada's along with a solid beer and wine list. The views look out on the docks adjacent to the restaurant on the back bays. Plenty of boat traffic but no so it's a distraction just something fun to look out on the water and see passing by. They offer an incredible free dessert on your birthday - the seven layer chocolate cake was decadent heaven and greatly appreciated. Great place to celebrate any occasion. read more

Laura Lee was the best great service highly recommend this place she was outstanding!! Definitely coming back

Wow. The best food we've had in this area. Although it rained all evening, the staff, ambiance, and food made this is a 10/10 experience. Olivia at the bar made PHENOMENAL drinks (and my family is very particular!) The food was also perfect portions, the desserts were by far the biggest, hence the photo. Mike, the manager was also very kind. Overall we will be back very soon. read more

We went for HH and were lucky to get a spot at the bar. My husband had the sliders and I had the fish tacos. They were both good but my tacos could have used a little more fish. The drinks were delicious. I tried my first Aperol Spritz and it won't be my last, thoroughly enjoyed it read more

Mom wanted DEEP LAGOON for her birthday dinner. It was a dreary slow Sunday between showers (so not real busy, at 4:30). A large flat smooth clean parking lot with plenty of handicap spaces available. Elevators brought us up to the dining level where there was a deep wrap around porch for optional "outdoor" dining. Restrooms were clean and well supplied , bring your sweater/ cardigan for indoor dining (as anywhere in Florida) it wasn't unbearable, but some handle it better than others . Our waitress Casey was very informative & attentive to our requests. Every dish was delicious & savory. We started with the chips & dip, crab cakes & deviled eggs . I ordered the mahi (with mango salsa) mashed sweet potatoes & fried plantains ( )! It was not a large portion but it also wasn't small. Every bite was delicious and complimented its accompaniments. Yes, it costs a little more but it's nice to have someplace like this with good parking, ambience & amazing views , S a V o R y tastes, attentive waitstaff (great chefs behind the scenes) from pulling in hungry to leaving more than satisfied The Deep Lagoon in Osprey meets a special night out with a realistic menu & pricing , for what you're receiving in service, food , location & atmosphere. We will most definitely go back. NOTHING NEGATIVE TO SAY AT ALL! GREAT JOB EVERYONE! & Thank you read more

Food is great. Magdalena was my server and she was amazing and personable. Definitely will go back!

We had a wonderful lunch at Deep Lagoon, and everything exceeded our expectations. We had a reservation and were seated right away on the outdoor patio with a breathtaking view of the lagoon. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. The food was fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the Tropical Paradise Salad with scallops and shrimp along with a cup of clam chowder, and both were excellent. What truly made our visit memorable, however, was our waitress, Karine. She was incredibly attentive, kind, and a great listener. When I asked for a piece of bread with my chowder, she suggested their crostini. They had accidentally been left behind in the kitchen, but Karine noticed and went the extra mile to bring them out without me having to ask again. It was a small gesture that showed how much she genuinely cared about her guests' experience. She also shared helpful information about the restaurant and the area that we would never have known otherwise. Her warm personality and exceptional service made us feel truly welcome. From the beautiful waterfront view to the delicious food and outstanding service, Deep Lagoon delivered a fantastic dining experience. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Karine, for making our visit so special! read more

We had a really great dinner here! Emily and Corrine were the best, so so kind and very thoughtful. Service was fantastic, food came out quickly and just as ordered, and everything was delicious!! We're from out of town but we would definitely come back again! Thank you so much! (And give Emily and Corrine all the recognition they deserve!!!!) read more

Delicious food, fabulous service and great atmosphere! We really enjoyed our Ahi Tuna Salad and the Roasted Beet Salad. The Spicy Mango Margarita was also very tasty!!! read more

I had a very enjoyable experience at Deep Lagoon. The food was outstanding and creative. While they do have the traditional seafood fare, they have some very interesting twists. The happy hour menu and the price fix give great, less expensive options. The featured cocktails are creative and give fun alternatives. The view is spectacular Lastly, our server was outstanding and did a fantastic job. The one caveat is that there are a lot of larger tables and children, so if you are looking for a romantic, quiet spot, this probably is not the place. read more

Superb experience. Great views, modern decor, BEST FOOD IN THE VENICE AREA, but the star for us was our server Lauralee, who not only dealt with my dietary restrictions perfectly, but was sweet and funny to boot. Advice? Make a reservation! Sit on the lanai and watch the sunset. read more

Deep Lagoon Seafood and Oyster House - View from the lanai - Seafood Near Me - Osprey, Florida

A group of 5 of us had dinner reservations at Deep Lagoon on a rainy Saturday evening. We were seated outside on the covered patio. The table was a tight squeeze for 5; we had one person half way off/kind of on the corner. Majority of the group ordered from the summer specials menu because the options for the prices really couldn't be beat. I had the grouper Oscar and lobster bisque. The grouper was served over mashed potatoes and asparagus. The grouper was topped with crab meat and a hollandaise sauce. I thought the dish was very flavorful. I did find a crab claw/shell in one of my bites of food. I guess that's a sign that the meat is truly hand picked! The drinks were phenomenal and the table bread came out warm with delicious cinnamon butter. The views outside over the water were great and would've been exceptional in better weather. Our server was very personable and checked in with us throughout the duration of the meal. I'd recommend coming here to celebrate something special. read more

Overall 4 stars based on my experience even though the Yelp rating is lower. Came here for lunch on a recommendation and it was located by the Marine Max yacht broker I was visiting. They have bar, main room and outdoor seating located right at the marina. It's a perfect setting. Our server was very nice, the food was good, service was prompt and prices were fair. They specialize in seafood which is delivered fresh daily and you can order by weight. read more

I love the location and ambience but my food experience has been inconsistent. Some people in my party had no issues but I have had to send back salmon because it was raw inside. But they fixed the problem and I even received a coupon. read more

Delicious seafood and a great place to drive your boat too. We regularly take our boat down from Sarasota and stop here for lunch. Nice staff and fresh yummy sea creatures. I love sitting out side on the raised deck looking over the water. read more

The good: our server Caitlin was one of the best we've ever had. She was amazing. The view from the patio is so nice. Can watch boats coming and going up and down the inter coastal. If you come on a boat you can use the dock with red caps first come first served. The kids menu and the kids treasure chest was a really nice touch. The not good: The level of service from the kitchen was not as good as a level of service out front . Food took a really long time. We sat down at 1145am, did not get our food until 1pm despite ordering as soon as we could. Also, the clam chowder was really salty, fries were served cold. Grouper sandwich was over cooked. read more

There were 8 of us. We all had wonderful food. Waitress great and view fantastic!!! Eight women is a hard group to serve, but she did it without sweating! We should have eaten inside but we chose not to. Waitress very accommodating. One of the gals in our group is leaving Florida (reason for party). They brought us a yummy carrot cake for dessert. So special! read more

My wife and I visited this place nice location on the water nice view if you're setting outside . Staff is very nice and friendly. The food was misrepresented of what actually ordered. My wife ordered the lobster brisk and a salad. She said salad was good but the lots of brisk had little to none lobster in it just a couple crumbs so they could call it. Lobster brisk. Should have been called just brisk. I ordered a Smash-burger this is not what I received. I received a hamburger I make smash burgers. I know what they are and this was not it not even close so that was a little disappointing for the prices that we paid. I probably would not go back. read more

Food was very good, as always. Restaurant is always very crowded and either the staff or kitchen cannot keep up. I have been there at least seven times over 4 years and it is always the same. Very slow service, from the initial visit by the wait staff, to ordering drinks, to getting drinks, to the wait staff to come back and answer any questions, to them returning with their answers, to taking our order, to receiving bread, to receiving our food, to returning for any additional items or drinks, to bringing our check. Slow slow slow. Our server made comments several times about our order saying ridiculous. Not sure if that meant great, outstanding or if it was sarcastic when I didn't opt for her suggested upsell on a wine. Temperature in the restaurant is always on the warm side which makes the wait seem even longer We were in a back room in a booth. The table next to us was very close, people actually back their chairs right into our table, and their table had a tv suspended overhead. Not my preference of a great spot to eat, wondering when the tv will either drop on me or start up and blare in my ear. Finally after multiple years of hoping it will improve, I have finally decided to cross off my list. Very sad as the location and food is very good. read more

Very disappointed. Appetizer plates that were on our table when we got there were VERY dirty, we ordered a blackened grouper sandwich and it came plain, the "crispy bourbon Brussels sprouts" were disgusting Barely cooked with balsamic glaze drizzled, no other seasoning or additions. Bourbon? NO! If the chef bothered with a bourbon glaze (which I love) he would not have ruined it by adding balsamic read more

Bread - has a slight cinnamon flavor to it which was nice but just heads up. Great texture! Whipped butter spread and an odd cinnamon roll filling whipped spread. Clam chowder - Worth ordering but check out the pictures.....can you tell a difference between the cup and the bowl size? Ya, we couldn't either. Save the $4 and just get a cup lol Also, the pepper shaker is worth writing about. It's the super fine pepper grade but the shaker was clogged so you had to open the container to use it. But watch out if there is even a slight breeze or else the tables across the way will be wearing it! Seared ahi salad - they give you a lot of salad! Great flavor even without the dressing (which was a bit too salty). Ginger was FRESH which was a bonus! Mahi stacked salad - be warned there is a lot of blu cheese! Was told it was a great salad though. Personally I thought the Mahi was a bit dry. Staff was attentive and very friendly! Our waiter was Noah. Onion rings came out late but he comped them. Five stars plus! Overall 3.5 star place read more

My second visit (a week later... yes!!) I got the Chili Rubbed TripleTail!! Amazing!! Both visits were 9 people and not one complaint! For our Birthdays!!! They came out with fireworks on our desserts!! So fun!! read more

Deep Lagoon must be a popular spot for locals because when I went on a Monday night for dinner it was packed. We had a reservation so even though it was packed we got seated right away. First impressions were this was your average Florida restaurant with some seafood on display and a lot of seafood decor. The table we sat at had a big chip in it, so that was a bit odd. For the food, we started with some calamari and oysters. The waitress recommended some different oysters since they had at least 8 kinds to choose from. We enjoyed her recommendations and got two different kinds. The calamari was good but nothing special. For my meal I got a mahi thermidor. This was okay, it didn't have a lot of flavor and there were very few and small pieces of crab. If I am being honest the best part of the mahi thermidor was the rice. My friend got the cedar plank salmon. She really enjoyed her meal and said it was good. For dessert the 4 of us split the chocolate cake. The cake was good and giant. You could easily split this with 6 people after a meal. Overall, this was just an average seafood place with very friendly staff. Nothing bad but also nothing to rave about. read more

Fantastic Seafood Feast at Deep Lagoon in Osprey, FL! We stopped into Deep Lagoon a little early on Christmas Eve, thinking brunch might be an option, but it turned out to be a seafood feast to remember! We started with the colossal shrimp appetizer--absolutely incredible! The shrimp were perfectly tender yet crisp, large, and sweet. For our main course, we indulged in The Big Chill Seafood Tower, and it was a showstopper: * A whole Maine lobster * Eight cocktail shrimp * Eight peel-and-eat shrimp * Two large stone crab claws * 4oz tuna tataki * A dozen Gulf oysters (served with horseradish cream & caviar) * Six chilled clams * Six chilled mussels Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. We spent over two hours savoring the seafood, enjoying cocktails, and soaking in the laid-back festive yet upscale atmosphere. We sat at the bar, where the bartenders made the experience even better--they were fun, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of. A special shoutout to Nyssa, who brought us our appetizer. She seemed surprised I remembered her name, but I told her it only took me a year to remember! Deep Lagoon, you made our Christmas Eve unforgettable. Merry Christmas --we'll definitely be back soon (maybe even before 2025)! -- I forgot to mention how delicious the avocado pico de gallo in the fishbowl that the colossal shrimp were served in was mmmmm read more

We want to love this place so we keep trying but just can't. The positives are that the place is beautiful inside and out and it has nice docking for boats and a very pleasant view. We typically sit at the bar. I can't count how many different bartenders there have been over the years but with the exception of maybe three times (out of more than 15-20), the service has been poor. Either the selection process is poor or there is a lack of training. This past week we had a young gal bartending. She was very friendly but could not manage the bar service and there were only 6 people at the bar. Our group of 4 was there to eat and drink. In nearly 3 hours, we could only get her attention for 2 drinks each. And we were sitting at the bar! She was busy filling drink orders for tables and visibly irritated that we flagged her down after 45 minutes of waiting for a second drink. We ordered 3 things off the happy hour menu and all 3 were terrible. Dishes that we have all eaten there before. The orange chicken was so over cooked, we couldn't even bite into it! We left after not being able to get a third drink - after waiting 27 minutes for her to bring the check we asked for. I kid you not. We timed it because everything else had gone so wrong. How does this happen while sitting at a bar when the bartender is three feet away? They need some serious management changes or we are going to see this big beautiful building up for sale. read more
