    Very elegant! I was at this location before when it was another restaurant. Placida Grill is a step up from the bistro that had been in this space previously. Just wanted to give the locals a heads-up so they are not surprised by the atmosphere-and the prices here! I will say the higher price point is warranted-the food is great and the service was outstanding. They also have a full bar- My group had the hamburger, it was excellent. The crab cake dinner-this got rave reviews from the person who ordered it-and the chicken burrito-not good! The chicken burrito was beautifully presented-but the actual product had mostly rice-a little beans-and almost no CHICKEN!! So definitely DO NOT order this- I mentioned this to the hostess,and she said"I wish you would have let us know-we would have gotten you another one" so we will never know,unfortunately! This group will probably not be back here again...that is why only rated 4 stars. I hope other customers have a better experience!

    Good local place, sat outside, dog friendly! My halibut was excellent, the chicken Picatta and filet were good, not great (filet was over cooked). Service was very friendly, but slow, they had to apologize a few times. We do like coming here, supporting a local business, and dog friendly, just not always consistent

    Peanut butter pie

    Dinner was sooo good highly recommend! We always do the chefs special they sure do know how to cook seafood.

    Fried shrimps & Hazify beer

    After having been given a 1 hr wait time at our usual Friday night spot we drifted in to Placida Grill for a plate of delicious fried shrimps, a Hazify beer and perfect service. Hubby's burger was also too notch. Will definitely go again. A hidden gem in a cool calm setting! Thanks!

    Stopped in for lunch since they had lots of outdoor seating in the shade. You order inside at the…read moremarket counter but they make the food in the trailer outside and bring it to your table. They were pretty busy but the food arrived quickly. Lots of people were stopping in for fresh seafood from the market while a few were having lunch outside. The food was delicious and everyone loved it. The only issue we had was that I was hoping to just get fried shrimp for my daughter but the only options were coconut shrimp or the shrimp po boy. They said that's all they could do. Once we received the shrimp po boy, I was confused why they couldn't just give us that but without the bread. Oh well, she just picked the shrimp off the bun and loved it anyways. Just didn't seem very accommodating when they seemed so helpful to the customers ordering from the actual fresh seafood market. We will definitely come back.

    I've gone here a handful of times throughout the years. I've never been impressed. This time…read morethough, will be my last. They changed the inside of the market. Before, you used to be able to view the live lobsters and see them pick them out. I used to like this, because I want to make sure the lobsters are alive and moving when they are removed from the water. Now, I don't know where they keep them, but I can't see them. I wouldn't trust that I am getting the fresh and very alive lobsters. Second, and most important of all, the prices are BAD. I called them a couple weeks ago for the price of lobsters. They told me 3 for $65. For me, that's extremely expensive. For me, I wouldn't pay that for myself, but my wife wanted me to cook some lobsters (would have been only her second time having lobster in her life). I decided to give them a try one last time and compare it to other markets that cost much less. If I could get similar taste at the other markets, I would no longer go here. Sadly, when I went in, I noticed the prices were now 3 chick lobsters for $75, or $25 a pound if you don't want 3. I asked about this, telling them they recently told me they were $65 on the phone... maybe not more than 2 weeks ago... and they said they raised their prices. Holy shit. That's not a $1 raise... or a $3 raise, but a whopping $10 raise. It wasn't too long ago that 3 of their lobsters were $25, and even that seemed expensive. I was willing to try them one last time at $65 (highway robbery bent over backwards), so I asked if they would honor the price quoted on the phone a few weeks ago, and they said no. So I walked out without spending one penny. These prices are terrible. TERRIBLE. Other markets in the area are charging $15 a pound for new england live lobsters. It's their store, they can charge what they want, but I won't buy anything if the prices are too high. Maybe this will go out of business like the port charlotte location? Maybe the snow birds don't know about other places to buy fresh lobster and pay the price? Well, if you know where to shop, you can find everything I've seen in this store for about 1/2 the cost. Tourist trap? I don't know, but buyer beware.

We love the to go cups with the lids with the lighthouse symbol on it. Our waitress was absolute fantastic. I don't know her name, but she has auburn hair with beautiful curls. She was absolutely fantastic. The place seem very clean. We got seated immediately. We got our food quick and it was just a wonderful atmosphere. but, there was only one drawback. I had the smash burger and fries. The fries were fantastic, but the hamburger would have been wonderful except it was undercooked. It looked done on the outside, but on the inside, it was soft mushy some pink, some dark pink in parts of it. I got a mouthful of it taste like raw hamburger meat. i'm not the one that sends food back. I just had my fries and I had a couple bites of the hamburger and let it go. My waitress was wonderful and asked how everything was and we did tell her that it was undercooked and she told us, I'll let them know. Being a great waitress. They are supposed to let the cook or the manager know if something is not being cooked properly. So I told her I didn't want anything in return, but she did take the hamburger back. I have a bad feeling that she was chastised for that because when she came back out, she had glasses on and she didn't look at me. We paid our bill and left, but my husband and I both got the bad feeling that she got chastised for letting them know that that burger was undercooked. Normally, you don't have to tell someone to cook the burger done because the last thing you want is raw ground beef in your mouth. i'm hoping it was just a fluke and I hope she didn't get in trouble because she was a wonderful waitress, and I would go back and just make sure next time I tell them make sure my burger was cooked all the way through.. we had fish all day and it was wonderful sitting up there in a beautiful atmosphere!!

I had the baby back ribs, they were so tender. Sides: the fries used to be gluten free but are now fried in a shared fryer. Since I didn't feel comfortable eating any of the sides I asked if I could have a caesar salad instead (no croutons). They do not offer side salads (should!) but since my order came with 2 sides she just charged me $4 for the originally $16 salad in substitute for the two $5 sides included in my order. The atmosphere was wonderful. Dick and Kammy played live music and the sunset on the deck was beautiful! Would definitely come back to try the gluten free chocolate torte :)
