Service was fine and the food was ok, but from the reviews I kind of expected more, especially for the cost. My wife and I both had the Grouper, which seems to be all the rage in Florida. However, again, it was just ok. I guess we're so used to fresh fish at home in Newfoundland and this just didn't... More

Went here to enjoy the view. The food is mostly fried, and I was not in the mood for an all fried dinner. Chose the seafood pasta, and it looked wonderful when served. There was no taste! It had been microwaved to the point it took about 10 minues to cool to the temperature that it could be eaten. No... More

We had Mother's Day brunch at the Friendly Fisherman. It was absolutely wonderful! We had a party of 7 and we had excellent and quick service. Our server was the best we had at any restaurant during our vacation. I had Captain's Benedict, and I can truly say it may have been the best eggs benedict I have ever eaten.... More

Nothing to write home about. Tables are small, food is ok, so are prices. View is great though!
