Great seafood spot with beautiful, relaxing lake views and convenient parking. The service was excellent, and Marissa was such a pleasure, incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The food was delicious, perfectly cooked, and wonderfully fresh. We started with the fish bites and lobster bisque, then had the avocado salad with grilled shrimp and the fried shrimp basket. Everything was flavorful and prepared just right. We can't wait to return! read more

Yum yum yum. We came here for dinner after I ran a nearby half marathon and I wanted to eat everything! I got one of their fun cocktails and it was refreshing and flavorful! Then, I started with the lobster bisque - it was delicious, but definitely veryyyyyy heavy on the cream - to the point that I couldn't finish it and took it home. Then, even though it's an app, I got the ceviche for my dinner - it was tart, refreshing and the perfect portion side. As a table, we also shared the ahi tuna, which felt very fresh with perfectly ripe avocado. It was just a great meal, a great environment, and a fun spot to hang out at! read more

Such a beautiful place in Clermont. It is right on the lake and the view is spectacular. I got the steamed shrimp and the lobster bisque. The shrimp were nicely seasoned and the texted was nice and firm not mushy at all. The cocktail sauce was good as well. The lobster bisque had almost shredded lobster and not big chucks. I would have preferred more chunks of lobster for a bisque. Marissa was our server a was so sweet and helpful. She was very attentive and always smiling. She was fantastic! read more

I had a hankering for some seafood and checked my yelp app which suggested this spot - after tooling thru a regular looking neighborhood with my family, we came upon this lakefront eatery & were not disappointed! I had gator bites (better than most I've tried) and the catch of the day. I appreciated that the catch of the day wasn't your typical choice - I actually had to google what a tilefish was! It was delicious and refreshing to try something new. The staff is young and friendly and the food comes out surprisingly quickly. read more

Salt Shack - Mahi tacos - Seafood Near Me - Clermont, Florida

I am extremely disappointed with the level of customer service at this restaurant. Over the course of two days, I called at least 15 times and not once did anyone answer the phone. I left two voicemails and never received a callback. I also sent two emails, both of which were completely ignored. After getting nowhere, we had to physically go into the restaurant just to speak with a manager. Instead of taking accountability, we were given a weak excuse as to why calls and messages were going unanswered. To make matters worse, the manager then provided us with yet another email address to contact with our questions--unsurprisingly, we never received a response there either. It's incredibly frustrating and unprofessional to have to go to such lengths just to get basic communication. If a business cannot manage something as simple as answering calls or responding to customers, it raises serious concerns about how the rest of the operation is run. I would not recommend this place based on the lack of responsiveness and poor customer service alone. read more

This place is so beautiful Loved the views and ambiance- very family oriented. Great for celebrations The food was pretty great and came out very fast We tried the calamari as an appetizer, then thr chicken sandwich and chicken fingers with fries Our server was very attentive. However, we did felt a bit rush at checkout. Also, understanding since it's a very hot and busy venue read more

Super cute spot right on the water. They have an inside part, a deck spot and picnic tables in the sand. If you have a boat you can dock it right at the restaurant. There is a free parking lot right next door to the restaurant and it had plenty of spots. Food was good, not great but good. We did really enjoy the fried oysters! Those were great. Drinks were good as well. I'd definitely come back for a nice chill spot with an incredible view read more

Today I decided to treat myself to go out for lunch. Had this Restaurant in my plans for a while. Surprisingly it is extremely big but very busy. Being that was only one person I decided to choose the bar. The staff was extremely friendly at the bar. I think it'd only took maybe about 30 seconds and I had a drink in front of me. Even though I knew exactly what I was gonna have I even had a menu. I ordered the tuna Tata. It only took about 10 or so minutes and my lunch was in front of me. Very nice presentation. And even though this is an appetizer, it is ample for a main dish. Like I said, the presentation was fabulous, but the taste was spectacular. I would highly recommend this dish to anybody that likes tuna. read more

Amazing views! Service was good! Bentley mocktail is tasty and refreshing. The wood fired fish of the day (snapper) was perfectly cooked and served over rice and Bahamian peas, plantains and Broccolini. Flavor was good and fish was fresh. It's local and delivered daily. The entire area is so much fun. read more

What a fun bar in central Florida! There were many people enjoying the beach and coming up off boats. The parking area was very small but there is an overflow lot near by. There was a big line outside of the restaurant, so we were worried there would be a long wait. To our surprise, it was only 15 minutes. They text you when your table is ready. We were able to grab drinks at the bar in the meantime. For lunch, I ordered the grouper tacos and my friend ordered the chicken fingers. Everything was hot and fresh, and tasted great. The service was wonderful as well. Since it was open air in some areas of the restaurant, there were a lot of fans throughout to keep everything cool. These fans kept blowing out paper products which was slightly annoying. read more

Finally made it even if you come early it gets very busy and I can understand why. The views, the location and the options for seafood are decent . Our food came out in a good amount of time even though it was very busy in the afternoon on a weekend. The jerk burger was very good made well done but still yet very juicy with a nice sweet and spicy balance flavor. The fries are sprinkled with old bay which were very good. My friend had the shrimp burger, and she was presently surprised with the taste very meaty full of shrimp flavor. The calamari was a little too thick for our taste. The batter nice and thin and the sauce was a very good but different flavor. I would come back and try their fried fish as well. Customer service was very friendly, nice and attentive. read more

We came back again. I got the large fried shrimp with fries. Wife got the crab cake sandwich with fries. There are only 8 shrimp for $22.00 with lots of fries. They were light batter and cooked correctly just only I would call them medium and not large. The wife's crab cake was the better price at $18.75 and she ate it all. Said it was very good. Got Keylime pie for dessert and it was made just right. Great taste and creamy like they should be. No one stoped to wait on us until we asked the waitress next to us and she got right on our order. Natalia turn out to be great! In the end the extra wait was worth getting her. Summer time so we sat inside for the AC. Here about 12:30 and packed both inside and on the outside deck. Little noisy inside. Drinks are on the pricey side $10-12 for the size of the glass. Most people seem to order beer or wine. Overall it a nice place to look at the lake and have some good food. read more

When this place first opened it was easily a 5 star but over the last year everything has declined including food (smaller portions and lower quality) service, and over all value. You can't beat the location but I'm less inclined to go. Not sure if management changed but the place is slipping! Hoping someone takes a closer look. read more

Went here for date night with the hubby a few weeks ago. What a transformation compared to the old business that was here a couple of years ago! The inside is completely transformed. Very spacious large dining area inside with lots of seating. They also offer patio seating and large picnic tables outside in the sandy area. Very beachy laid back vibes with the sand, shells, lake view, boats and Adirondack chairs. It was a busy Friday night but we were checked in within 30 minutes of arriving. Long enough to take in the awesome views. We sat in the Adirondack chairs under the large oak tree, waiting for the text letting us know when our table was ready. Our order was taken promptly and brought out quickly. We enjoyed the stacked ahi appetizer, which was served with perfectly crisp taro chips. The layers were seaweed, avocado and ahi tuna, topped with sesame seeds. It was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the fish and chips. They were very good but not a great value. It is mostly French fries with several chunks of fried fish bites. The fish he had was very tasty though, he just wished it had more. I ordered the chimmichuri steak. The steak was tender and cooked medium well. They have an odd pork based sauce served with the fried yuca that I did not care for. The best sauce they had was the garlic lime aoili, which I ordered on the side. We will definitely return for the great views, service and food. read more

Went in late Valentine's Day night, after hitting up the parks. The feel was very "hole in the wall" which is usually a good sign for me at least. Glad we tried it! The service was amazing for being so late, usually going to restaurants late you get less than ideal service. Wish i could remember waitress name because she was awesome! Got the ceviche, really good just too many chips, and the tuna tartare with not enough chips. We both got the crab cake sandwich and we definitely recommend!! The only thing that could make such an awesome sandwich better is adding Cole slaw and pickles (new item maybe? Super crab cake sandwich lol) definitely been recommending to all of my coworkers who are coming into town with me and to all the locals I can! read more

Can't complain! Closest thing to the beach without going! Free parking, small beach, lots of seating inside and out! They play Caribbean style music and drink prices were fair. The wine seems a little pricey compared to the liquor, until you see it's and 8 ounce pour :) food was good. Mai tai was made correctly and nothing was too sugary or filled with juice. They have oysters as well! Great food options. Tacos look great! Awesome place to throw a party and it looks like the bike trial connects :) read more

After a hot day of golf we stopped here for drinks and food. Great atmosphere! Tables outside, inside and convenience to park boat by sandy beach. Live music, tables under canvas canopy. Dog friendly. Great for families. Our waiter was Daniel and he was attentive, friendly, gladly took our group photo and was quick to make recommendations or bring anything we needed extra promptly! Make sure to ask for Daniel next time you visit! The ceviche was amazing!!! We all agreed that we would come back again. Ample parking both on street and in public parking lot on Memorial Day weekend! Only negative was we were told we would get a text when our table was ready however if you're over on the bar side the cell reception was poor so we didn't get the text nor did anyone come around asking our name. Otherwise plenty of staff on hand and all very accommodating! read more

I learned about Salt Shack from social media so my fiancee and I decided to check it out for dinner. It's a waterfront restaurant with an indoor area and a large outdoor patio + a sandy area and picnic tables at the water. We were seated on the wood patio area that overlooked the water and picnic tables. We were hoping for a nice sunset dinner but it was pretty overcast and threatening to rain so there wasn't a sunset to see. We still enjoyed looking out over the water and people watching. You can pull right up to the restaurant from the water and dock your boat on the shore which is really neat! It took a little bit for our server to greet us initially but once she did she was superb. I wish I remembered her name! She checked on us often and brought drink refills before we could even ask. We ordered the fish dip as an appetizer and grouper tacos and crab cakes for entrees. All of our food came out very quickly, we were surprised since it was pretty busy when we were there. The fish dip tasted great, my only request was that it came with jalapeños. We were so hungry that it was mostly gone by the time our server came around so I didn't ask for any. We did enjoy the spicy sauce that came with it, I think it was the guava cocktail sauce? I got two grouper tacos (you can get 2 or 3) and I'm happy I only got two! They were the most hefty tacos I've had in a long time! I was shocked at how much fish was in them. They tasted great, no complaints at all! For my side I got the yucca fries which come drizzled in a pork chimichurri sauce. The sauce was good, a different approach compared to the usual white sauces that come with yucca fries. The fries were a little soggy, possibly bc of the sauce but I still enjoyed them. Next time I may ask for the sauce on the side. My fiancee got the crab cake dinner, theres a crab cake sandwich and the crab cake entree and the price is about $7 different. The dinner comes with 2 crab cakes vs the sandwich which I would assume is only one. It's a good deal to get the dinner and get a second crab cake. He asked for a side of the key lime aioli for his crab cakes. I tried a bite of his crab cake and I think it might've been the best crab cake i've ever had, it was SO good! We both really loved the key lime aioli as well. I noticed on their menu they have a lot of unique sauces, I definitely want to try some others next time we go! I ventured to the bathroom and was a bit surprised by the placement of mirrors and the paper towel dispenser. Whomever installed it must have been very tall! I could see from my eyes to the top of my head in the mirror and water ran down my arms as I reached up to use the paper towel dispenser. It was honestly comical at how out of place the setup was. Nonetheless, I was able to do my business and we still loved our experience so no harm, no foul, just a laugh. Overall, we had an amazing experience and were very impressed. The food came out quick, it tasted amazing, some of the best seafood we've had in a while and the atmosphere was wonderful. We were already talking about when we could come back! It's about a 45 minute drive for us from Orlando but it's totally worth it! read more

5 star service on the outside patio on the lake side! "Kincera" (probably have the spelling wrong) was fantastic. She can serve us any time. It was our first visit after hearing so many good reports on food & service. We started with the 1/2 pound of peel & eat shrimp. It was good! Good size, good cocktail sauce (sauce could have been a tad spicier). Nice presentation. Next we each got the 1/2 bacon cheeseburger- one with a bun and one without a bun. One with jicama salad and one with veggies. Burgers were done to perfection. Veggies were good. Jicama salad - I loved the jicama and onion, but a little too much bell peppers Lastly we had to have dessert - key lime pie. Not too sweet and it had a tart edge to it - wonderful flavor and loved the key lime zest on top! We will definitely return! read more

Great bar & grill right on the waterfront. Located in downtown Clermont on Lake Minneola, this restaurant has a boat house type of feel with lots of different seating options; outside, inside and even a patio area. We opted to sit inside and watch the game and were greeted by our server Natalia. She was easy going and attentive. For drinks my husband ended up ordering their pina colada, it was made with fresh ingredients and even had shaved coconut on top. Way better than any cruise ship pina colada. To start we ordered the lobster bisque, it had a really creamy taste which I adored and yes there was lobster in every bite. We ordered the chicken sandwich which was served with their house made jerk sauce and ranch. Also we ordered their grouper tacos with yuca fries. All the dishes have some kind of accompanying sauce which you can tell that they are made from scratch. Everything tasted really delicious plus the view was beautiful. I had a great experience and will visit again. read more

1-Star Review (only because zero isn't an option) This was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in a long time. We were seated promptly, but after that, we were completely ignored. We waited around 20 minutes without anyone coming to our table--not even to offer water or acknowledge us. During that same time, another family was seated nearby and was taken care of immediately--greeted, drinks served, and checked on right away. After waiting that long, I finally flagged down a waiter. His response was that he wasn't assigned to our table, even though we were seated directly between two tables he was actively serving. That explanation didn't make sense and only added to the frustration. To make matters worse, we were the only Hispanic family in the restaurant, and also the only ones being completely ignored. I don't want to assume intent, but the difference in how we were treated was hard to ignore and left us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. Eventually, a manager came over and apologized, but by that point the experience was already ruined. My wife, my 5-year-old son, and I had been sitting there hungry and overlooked for far too long, so we decided to leave. At best, this was extremely poor service and lack of basic coordination. At worst, it raises serious concerns about how customers are treated. Either way, we won't be returning. read more

If you're looking for a dining experience that feels like a vacation getaway, Salt Shack is the place to go! Located right off a lake with a small beach and beautiful outdoor seating, I felt like I left central Florida for a night. We sat out on the lawn chairs out on the beach while we waited to be called for our table. Service was amazing and our server was extremely friendly and attentive. My friend and I ordered the catch of the day, which was swordfish on that particular day. We also got fried gator bites and the smoked mahi spread as starters. Everything tasted absolutely fresh and delicious! 10/10 would recommend and I can't wait to come back. read more

If you've been the the Tampa Bay Salt Shack you have to try out this one in Clermont! Not only is the menu and ambiance very similar, the vibes and service are great! While in Tampa the ambiance is more sea and beach life, this gives you more of a feel for the lake life and cabins! We decided to stop in on a Sunday afternoon and the wait for only 2 people was 30 minutes minimum! Thankful they allow you sit near the bar area to wait for drinks and order, and we stumbled upon to bar seats! The bartender was super personal and gave great advice on drinks and food! We also tried the recommended pina colada and I would come back just for the virgin one (the alcoholic one was just as good). The food was as expected due to my past experience in Tampa! Everything tasted fresh and left us feeling full! I'd say prices were all right, not cheap and not expensive! Overall it was a great afternoon hangout with live music and great food! read more

Salt shack is a hidden gem! Walked in with a big group about an hour before closing and they took us in ever so rapidly. Our server was great and so patient with us. It was a cold night so we sat inside, but they have such a cute outdoors area in the back. I was told I had to try their wings and they did not disappoint plus it was a good portion! Also had their coconut shrimp which was delicious with their house made sauce on the side (better than Bahama breeze which is tough to say lol). Enjoyed all of this with a lovely mango pina colada. Wish this place was closer to home because they have so many unique items at great prices. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more
