Store front

Saw this place while heading back to my vacation rental, so I decided to stop. The area seems to be lacking in seafood choices, so I was hoping to fix this problem. As I entered, I noticed that the fish options on display were lacking. The lady in front of me bought the last shrimp that they had. Some of the fish didn't look fresh. I asked if they had crabs or crab legs, and was told that they no longer sell them. The lady behind the counter was super nice, but there really wasn't anything that I would consider buying. My visit was disappointing.

Everything top notch- food, service and ambience. The fish is so fresh. Have tried tuna, grouper and mahi. Delicious especially prepared with one of the homemade herbal butters or paired with the remoulade sauce. All the ladies that run the store are so helpful and the store layout enticing!

Before coming to Florida, we searched for a quality fish market. The reviews we found brought us to the PFM. When we arrived (early afternoon on a Saturday), we were greeted and given time to make our selection. We chose red snapper, grouper, and swordfish. We paid around $20 a lb but received a discount for paying in cash. We were not offered the discount but saw the sign and had to ask at the register for the discount. We asked for ice to get the fish to our rental. They did not charge us for the ice. That was cool. Fast forward to our house on the beach. We fired up the grill, seasoned the fish (using a variety of flavored butters from PFM), threw the fish on the grill and waited for dinner. We were disappointed that the swordfish smelled super fishy (tasted like old swordfish). The red snapper was ok. The grouper was good. Day two - we rinsed and marinaded the swordfish hoping for a better experience. Nope. The grouper was still good and the snapper was rubbery to the point of being inedible. We even tried to curry the fish. No luck. So here is our take away. Cool treasure box for the kids. Kind employees. Limited selection. Not the freshest fish.

Refuse service to anyone not wearing a mask. Not listed ANYWHERE. Wasted trip. Let potential customers know the rules before wasting time

My parents live in Rotunda West and this has become our favorite Italian spot in the area! We all…read morewent for the first time in March 2023, my parents have been back multiple times, and I came again in March 2024. Reservations are required as it is a small restaurant and kitchen. I am giving this place 5 stars for the consistent delicious food and service. This is definitely more of an American Italian restaurant than authentic, but I love me a good American Italian restaurant. We always start off with Prosecco for my mom and I which is a standard brand and they give you the full mini bottle. My step dad typically gets a red wine. I am in love with the bread and dipping oil! I could drink the dipping oil as it is full of fresh roasted garlic. YUM! They are great in keeping up with our bread and oil re-orders. Both times I have come here I have ordered the Linguine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli. The servings are huge and I had and enjoyed my leftovers both times. My parents have ordered the Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan, Ribeye, and seafood pasta in the Fra Diavala sauce. My step-dad is a huge fan of the Chicken Parm. We also always order the Tiramisu for dinner which is always delicious. I look forward to coming back next spring when I'm back in town!

Crab stuffed mushrooms were fishy & greasy, we only got 2 pieces of bread w dinner, salad was lame…read more& wilted, veal was bland, spinach resembled a frozen box of chopped from supermarket, very disappointing! We won't be back! Quality has declined significantly.

Initially we were excited to find my husband's favorite wine, KJ Merlot, at this place, but it took a long time to get it to the table as our server had higher priorities. Hubby ordered fried fish and when it was served by a food runner, the outside breading was ridiculously dark. Hubby said the fish was overcooked, but okay; however, the french fries were undercooked. I ordered the chicken breast topped with crab dip. I got a small taste from my fork and the flavor was good. Unfortunately, I had to saw with my knife to try and get through the chicken. It was rubbery as if cooked in a microwave and was not edible. I sent it back to the kitchen. I was not interested in trying anything else at this point and just waited for hubby to finish eating. Wish I remembered to snap a picture. I don't recommend this restaurant - there are plenty of good places around, and we are trying as many as we can.
