For lunch, the offerings were plentiful, as were the selections of fresh and frozen seafood to take home. I had a lobster roll and slaw, Therese H. a GF clam chowder and red-snapper, broccoli, and rice meal. $5 house wine! For later, we took home fresh scallops and shrimp, on ice. It's worth mentioning that this place passes my seafood sniff test. No off smells present, just the sweet smell of fresh seafood. Thanks, JFC, for a weekday lunch, this was excellent.

I change my review to 4 stars because I was wrong about the size of the ceviche served.read more

We had a great meal at Real Seafood in Estero! We were with a good friend who had eaten here before…read moreand liked it so we gave it a try. It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday evening and there was no wait for a table. I had a Caesar salad to start which was delicious. Mains were scallops, scallop risotto and the sea bass. All were excellently prepared and completely devoured! The restaurant is slightly more fancy than it is casual, the vibe more wine sipping than margarita chugging. Servers were very professional and attentive. We sat inside which had a warm, almost steakhouse decor. There was also outdoor seating available looking out over Coconut Point's pond with fountain, so it has an attractive view. Plenty of parking. We will make a point to come again!

Unsure if we'd visit again... -The bread rolls were delightful and super garlicky! We could have eaten baskets of them. -Our table split the crab fried rice side for an appetizer. The dish was fine but I didn't enjoy sauce surrounding it and the crab was tough -My mahi mahi was cooked well and super flavorful and rich from the adobe. However, the rice was mushy, overdone and completely flavorless.

Their happy hour…read morealone is worth the visit, great deals on martinis and small bites, and everything we've tried has been spot-on. The octopus comes highly recommended by just about everyone, and after trying it myself, I completely understand why. It's absolutely delicious. The hush puppies were perfectly crunchy, not greasy at all, and paired with an amazing sauce that really tied everything together. They recently started offering Sunday brunch, and my entire group is still talking about how good it was. I ordered the chicken and biscuits, and honestly, the gravy was so good I could eat an entire bowl of it on its own. The hot honey added just the right amount of heat and balance. Dinner is just as impressive and definitely worth checking out. There's truly something for everyone on the menu. The sea bass was cooked perfectly, and I love that they offer different chef's specials every weekend, it keeps things exciting. They also roll out new dessert options nightly and are constantly introducing creative new dishes. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. We've say in both the bar area and the main area and enjoyed both. On top of all that, the staff is always amazing. Theyre fun to interact with, attentive without hovering, and full of great recommendations. You can really tell they care about the experience. I highly recommend Fresh Catch Inland for happy hour, brunch, lunch, or dinner, you really can't go wrong.

This has by far become one of my favorites. The staff make you want to come back with their awesome…read morepersonalities and great service and sense of humor. Erica is a top notch server who takes the time to remember her patrons and what they drink. Ethan has a signature coconut mojito that my husband (who hates coconut and i who hate mojitos) were able to agree was incredible and worth drinking again. The steak flat bread, coconut shrimp, and Keylime pie are always spot on. The corn dip must also be awesome cause I hear everyone ordering it all the time. If you can sit at the bar, you get to enjoy the staffs incredible interaction with each other. It genuinely looks like they all enjoy working here which speaks volumes to the management. Mike is non stop bustling in the kitchen to push out the great food in a timely fashion as his bar staff positively greet patrons and keep the ambiance fun and entertaining. Happy hour is 3-5. It is self seating and I highly encourage you get a table while someone stands in line to order food which will be delivered to you. There is also often live music. Great place to hang out on a beautiful sunny day

I placed an online pickup order through the Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar website at 12:32 PM using their…read morepreferred ordering platform, ChowNow. The order was prepaid and included a 20% gratuity. After parking and walking to the restaurant, I received a text message at 12:47 PM stating that my order had been canceled and refunded because the restaurant could not make the order. Assuming this must have been an error, I still went inside and waited in line to explain what had happened. When I reached the counter and calmly explained the situation, several staff members immediately chimed in saying things like "I was watching and no orders came through." At that point it became clear that the order likely had not been acknowledged on their end and was automatically canceled after 15 minutes. Despite the fact that the order had been placed directly through the restaurant's own website and had already been prepaid with gratuity, there was no apology and no effort to resolve the situation by making the order. Instead, the staff member at the register told me that "ChowNow always doesn't work" and that I should have called the restaurant instead. That response was surprising considering the order was placed through their official website, which directs customers to use that exact system. I asked to speak with a manager and was told to step out of line. When the manager arrived, the interaction unfortunately got worse. Before I could finish explaining the situation, he interrupted with "Are you going to let me talk now?" and proceeded to repeat that none of this was the restaurant's fault. There was still no apology and no attempt to remedy the situation by simply preparing the order that had already been placed. What made the experience particularly disappointing is that this location has been one I've visited many times over the years. Mistakes happen in any business, and an online ordering system failure is understandable. What is not understandable is the complete lack of basic customer service and the unwillingness of management to take ownership of the problem or attempt to fix it. A simple apology and an offer to make the order would have resolved the entire situation. Instead, the response from both staff and management was dismissive and defensive. Unfortunately, that interaction has turned what had been a frequently visited restaurant into one I will not be returning to.

We also grabbed a seafood boil to go, which was delicious. Just a heads-up for others: it doesn't automatically come with sausage like many places do, so you'll want to add that on.
