Nothing special…read more The atmosphere was mediocre. Not very lively. No live music. Host did his job but could've been friendlier. I could have been at a Denny's. Call me a snob, but none of the silverware matched, either. Now, I can overlook all of the above when the food is amazing. But it wasn't. Some of it was awesome and some was blah. The hush puppies were excellent! Made fresh. Not the machine made round balls you can get anywhere. The flavor and the remoulade sauce were perfect. I got a container of Ken's blue cheese with my salad. That was very disappointing. I expected house-made dressing as the menu stated. The seafood was definitely fresh and the serving size was good. My friend's grouper look great and he said it was good. But something was lacking in presentation. Big, fluffy and fell apart perfectly but looked a little sad on the giant plate. No parsley or greenery. Too much yellow. Yellow rice and veggies were mostly red & yellow peppers. The garlic bread was dry and had little to no garlic. Now I'll get to my disappointing dinner. One of my favorite meals is shrimp and grits. Definitely not my favorite version. The blackened shrimp were fresh, a good size and plentiful. Served on a pile of plain grits sprinkled with cheese and scallions. No roux, no sauce, no butter, no seasoning, no nothing. Whoever put this recipe together has never had Southern shrimp & grits nor had they ever Googled a recipe for shrimp and grits. It was the saddest meal ever. Keep in mind, this is the only time I've ever been to this restaurant. However, my impression is the owners love seafood and have been supplying seafood to this community for ages. And seafood is at the top of my list of things I could eat for the rest of my life. However, I feel that they have no cooking background whatsoever. Cooking, seasoning, and presentation all felt lacking. But as advertised the seafood was amazingly fresh and they definitely get kudos for that. I will probably give them another chance as this was my first visit and this is their second restaurant, so there must be some kind of redeeming factor. Maybe next time.

So me and my family have noticed this place for years after driving past it so many times, and we…read morehad chosen this place for New Year's...I have thoughts. Ambiance wise? It's very clean and has a heavy mariner vibe which is fitting for a seafood restaurant. Lots of plastic fish hanging from the ceiling, giving it that perfect traditional Florida vibe. Overall I have little to say about this but it was nice! So...Service wise, I'mma be honest; they're actually inefficient and possibly dismissive. I've seen people who've been here for a shorter period of time than us get served quicker, and truthfully I was anything but amused which left me questioning the why. Even for a New Year's Eve it didn't seem too busy, and thankfully they eventually noticed and assigned us a very polite and attentive waitress, but I wasn't happy about that regardless. Food wise, it was decent! The crab fries felt like a nicely stewed poutine with good seasoning, the coconut shrimp with the spicy sauce had a kick...and the Trio Seafood Pasta? Well...It felt really bland compared to the appetizers which was surprising and disappointing. One thing I would like to give them credit on is their respect for people with allergies. When they learned someone in my party had a seafood allergy? They separated everything from the seafood and I really did All in all...While I enjoyed some parts, it really was not what I was hoping for. Not bad, necessarily, but not good enough that it warranted dinner on New Year's eve.

The view on the water was nice though.

It's only as a special because they only serve fresh! They were delicious! They just went through new ownership but you wouldn't notice. Everything is still the same. We had great service and although it was blazing hot outside they do their best with a ton of fans to try and keep it bearable. It's a local watering hole that happens to have great food and staff. The people that complain on here about the establishment not having fried food should have checked the menu if that is such a big deal to them. One of these days when the weather cools off I'm looking forward to sitting at one of the back tables over looking the canal. For now we will continue to sit at the bar.

Seafire Grill in New Port Richey, was a nice lunch stop for my wife and me on Saturday. The…read moreinterior is elegant, with views of a small harbor, and on past visits we've even seen dolphins. It's a large space with a modern bar, booths along the windows, tables scattered throughout, and two event rooms on either end of the main dining room. Sara greeted us promptly, as usual with a smile, and was attentive without hovering. I had a Buffalo Trace Manhattan, she had an Angry Orchard, and my small glass came with enough ice to keep it in the freezer for the next shift. I had the blackened shrimp tacos. Tasty, with a little tang, but this is where the pricing starts to raise an eyebrow. They were $17 for 2, and most other places give you 3 for $16 or less, usually with sides too. She had the steak quesadilla at $18, which also felt a little steep. Most others are $14 or less. Still, she enjoyed it, so there's that. For once, there was no 3% credit card upcharge, but at these prices, you have to figure it's already built in somewhere. The food was good overall, though I think the meal came in about $10 high. I also hear the place is for sale. Good food, service, ambiance, and view. All pretty common on the Gulf of America -- which is kind of the point, I guess. They've got a few easy, not-too-expensive fixes, so I'll leave it to you to be the judge.

It was easily accessible by the birthday girl who was using her walker. Service was wonderful! Sarah was prompt with bringing our drinks after we ordered them, and keeping those drinks full.

Our party ordered salmon, fried shrimp, fish & chips and Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Our meals were filling, and what we couldn't eat came home with us! We are definitely returning for the fried shrimp!! We brought cake which Sarah expertly delivered to the table once we were done with dinner. Only one candle was not lit when she placed it in front of the birthday girl. But that was okay! She blew out the others to get her wish. I'm betting that wish was to return here. Everything was memorable and enjoyable!!

Sat at the bar, because we like the vibe there better. Super impressed with the bartender. Not only made great martinis, she's a certified sommelier and had great recommendations for wine pairing with food. Started off with some raw oysters. Prepared properly (separated from the bottom shell). Fresh and tasty. Next was the appetizer special, seafood mix salad on crispy potato bars. Interesting and tasty. Finally, we had the grilled octopus. Seriously some of the best I had. Nice and tender and grilled just right. Service was outstanding and attentive. Atmosphere was lively, without being noisy. Met a nice couple that go there every week for date night. It will be in our regular rotation of places to go.

Estuary -- downtown NPR…read more Nice clean, minimalist decor. The room is lively--read: noisy. Fine for a fun night out, maybe not ideal for a first date where conversation matters. So, no substitutions. The menu says so, the server will remind you, and honestly? It's a chef driven menu. Interesting background, too: Chef/owner James Renew spent 28 years training with chefs across Florida, Las Vegas, and Sydney before opening Estuary. Apparently, they've been voted among the best restaurants in the Tampa area two consecutive years running. It shows. We started with the crab beignets -- crispy, golden, and paired with a jalapeño aioli that managed to be interesting without setting your face on fire. Nicely done, though I wouldn't have minded a little more kick. The steak frites were the star of the show. The steak was cooked absolutely perfectly. The fries? Cooked in duck fat. DUCK FAT. Honestly, tasted like fries to me -- and a little underdone at that. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly proud of the place -- rightfully so. The Buffalo Trace Manhattan on the rocks was dangerously good. Drinks all around were solid. Total came to just over $100 for two before tip -- fair for this quality. Fair warning though -- they tack on a 3% credit card surcharge. Unnecessary and a little annoying at this price point. Nice higher end restaurant in the new downtown. Reasonable prices without being pretentious. We'll be back.

The only reason we keep giving it another chance is because we have a gift card. That said, this last visit was a little different. My salad was actually awesome--fresh, flavorful, and something I'd definitely order again. The only issue (of course) was that I asked for the dressing on the side and didn't get it... so one thing still had to go wrong. Overall, it's been very hit or miss, but I will say the salad was a standout this time.
