The food was very good ! I had a lobster roll with potatoe salad VERY GOOD ! My husband had the fried fish platter , he said was delicious also very abundant !!! Looks like it could feed two ! Lost a star because outside seating was not well served and at the end the lovebugs were attacking !!! Know that bugs are not really their "fault" but really - no empathy at all -they were actually landing in our drinks!!' read more

Today we rode The silver dolphin for breakfast, 6 we're all looking forward ti eggs, it was 12 o'clock and they informed us breakfast was over. We put up a commotion in a fun way, to which our waitress Christina rallied for us and got us breakfast. We highly recommend. Ask for Christina read more

We were looking for a new place to enjoy Sunday dinner with family. Our table was outside on the river. Beautiful breeze and great wait staff. The food portions were good and very well prepared. The country store had many slogan signs which added some belly laughs to the visit. Definitely going back! read more

Silver Dolphin - Funny tree creature looking down on you. - American Near Me - Hernando Beach, Florida

First time visiting, good service outside dining was nice and the food was solid. Fun casual and unique, we will be back when in the area.

Such a cool place. We ate indoors but missed out on the beautiful garden area for the outdoor seating- will eat outside next time. Our food was delicious and the service was great. Will definitely be back. read more

One of the only, if the only, COVID-cautious places to eat in the area. If you eat outside, all the seating areas are like little separate cabanas and really fun and decorated. All staff wore masks and temps were checked upon arrival. I did spot a few without masks meandering around the gift shop. The food was also good, I got the lobster roll and the fried pickles. They have a huge fun cocktail list. My husband got the fish tacos with mango and they were seriously delicious. Between the food, drinks, tropical vibes, waterfront dining, and the precautions they're taking for COVID, I'd call this a home run. read more

Guided to this place by a local while on vacation. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. We were there for lunch. Food was great! Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and very pleasant. Great service throughout the meal. They also have a gift shop and ice cream parlor on site. If you opt to sit outside, there is a tropical garden along the water. For 25 cents you can feed the turtles in the creek that runs behind the restaurant. Highly recommend you check that out. What a cool restaurant. read more

What a great find!!!...home-made fudge & ice cream, bar, and waterside restaurant. The food was great but the service and friendliness of the staff was even better. Servings are huge so come hungry...and sit outback read more

Just a heads up. they won't serve food after 8pm. We walked in at 8:20. A party of 4. They close at 9. We were told that they won't serve us, that the chefs are temperamental. The hostess was very unkind. Very awkward experience. read more

i had meatloaf " the special " that was not good my sister a salad that had potato salad in the bottom! we were not impressed. read more

Just great local food with a laid back atmosphere! I enjoyed the whole experience! Thanks for the heavy pours.

Loved this cute restaurant! Nick our server was so sweet, he was very attentive from the moment we sat down until the moment we left. He came by multiple times to check on us and refill our drinks. It was definitely a small town feel in a beach city :) I ordered the haddock tacos, very good :) I would go back :) Oh and the back sitting area was so magical!! read more

We've eaten at this restaurant many times for dinner. Good food and service is usually good as well. But today we decided to come for breakfast. We waited ten minutes at our table for someone to take our order. An older waitress in the section walked past us many times and never acknowledged us, until I flagged down a different server who hesitantly took our order. As we were leaving I asked a different older lady at the register if she was the manager. She wasn't and said the manager was not in and one of the cooks was in charge. She acted like it was a big inconvenience that I even asked for the manager. Ultimately I praised the young lady who took our order and mentioned we were ignored but the older lady cut me off and tried to make an excuse for the other server who ignored us. I do not intend to return to this restaurant. It's too bad bc I really enjoy sitting in their garden area. read more

I've been to the Silver Dolphin several times and I have not had a bad meal. What I like best is their outside dining right on the water. They have a cute little shop inside and they also have ice cream at the window. read more

So we went here for lunch and let's just say we will never go back as 20 minutes of sitting at our table still had no server come over to us and take our order or get us drinks. When we were leaving I heard other tables being apologized to for the wait. I also saw one table had a muffin that was so burnt they had it at the end of table as I'm sure they were not going to eat it. Very bad service do not recommend going there. read more

Cute quaint little restaurant by a small creek bed. Great staff, friendly and patient. The food was great breakfast was all around wonderful. read more

Great food great service. The establishment had friendly servers. The atmosphere was fun and the prices were good.

Great ambiance and service. Fried foods were served perfectly! Deep fried shrimp batter was delicious read more

There was a BOGO happy hour special on the draft beers. The food is mediocre at best and overpriced. I kept expecting Gordon Ramsey to remove a disguise and take us outside to show us some horrific video of what goes on in the back of the house and say, "Welcome to Hell and Back". They are doing too much and none of it well. It took awhile for the hostess to appear and seat us during what appeared to be a none busy time and I felt there was some attitude when she came to seat us and when she had to check us out. The service was pretty quick and friendly. I got a burger and it was cooked as requested and was okay. For breakfast the next day I got the sausage gravy and biscuit, it came with hash browns and two eggs. And it was also okay.There's a turtle pond and some interesting decor in the outdoor seating area. They also have a country store with Knick knacks, candy and there's an ice cream shop on-site. read more

Went and had dinner with my family who was visiting. I ordered seafood platter with side of broccoli and fries. Everything was on the same plate, the water from the broccoli, made everything on the plate wet and soggy. Someone else ordered the burger, was so small. Another had steak and grilled shrimp. The steak was so over seasoned and chewy. Also ordered haddock tacos, got shrimp tacos instead. The prices are crazy there so be prepared. The service was slow. Probably won't go back. read more

Very good food, ambiance, and prices. I have not been there for a while so I cannot critique the service, but last I recall it was good.

Went there for my birthday dinner, we were told 15-20 min wait. We waited for 50 min to be sat at a table where we sat for another 20 min and got up and left because no server ever came to the table. Plenty of servers saw us sitting there but no one ever came to the table so we left and ate down the street where we always get great service. Won't be going back! read more

Have been here twice before tonight, great food but never had service like tonight. No mistakes or anything previously, but felt as though the servers didn't really want to be there. Tonight, Marisa made the atmosphere! From her greeting to her farewell, we've never had better service with such a big personality. Round of applause for top notch customer service, we always come for the food but next time we will be visiting for the experience as well! Thanks for the wonderful dinner! The prime rib sandwich was mouth watering! read more

Best for American dinners n breakfast, one of my favorites! Great food service atmosphere and the great friendly staff I have been back many times! read more

So glad Silver Dolphin opened in Hernando Beach! What a treat! The owners did a terrific job in transforming the building into a beautiful restaurant with great food, great service and the cutest store. Prices are great, too! Between the painted murals, the serene gardens and cool seating arrangements, this place is soooo cozy! I want to go all the time. The atmosphere is awesome. We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning and loved it. Can't wait to go back for lunch and dinner. Attempted lunch last Saturday and I was happy to see the parking lot was maxed out. They're definitely taking business from the other local places around the area. Go, you'll love it! read more

Very good meal had the special Sweet and Sour chicken, nice atmosphere, service was good. Highly recommend.

I like the Silver Dolphin. The outside garden is on a canal and a really nice place to eat. Their fried fish dinner is yummy and reasonable. They have buy one get one alcoholic drinks and an ice cream stand. It is not fancy but a good food comfortable place to eat in Hernando Beach. read more

I'm reluctant to write this review because I don't want them to be so busy we can't get a table.But it's truly too good not to share! We stopped in for lunch today because I needed my family to see the back garden/dining area. It's truly the most unique space around. Also, the staff and the food are second to none. We ordered burgers and a chicken sandwich and everything was hot, prompt, and incredibly tasty. Our server was on point. Drinks filled without being asked and anticipated our every need. The whole meal was absolutely perfect. If you're in this area, you must visit. Each area is secluded from the other diners and the entire area is non-smoking. A little slice of heaven. read more
