Reel Fish Coastal Kitchen & Bar

Reel Fish is a true gem! From the moment you step in, the cute coastal ambiance makes you feel like you're on a relaxing beach getaway. The service is always top-notch, friendly, attentive, and welcoming.Their happy hour is a must, and my favorite part is the unbelievably cheap and delicious oysters. They're always fresh and perfectly prepared, making it the ideal spot for oyster lovers. My wife and I also enjoy a variety of their dishes and apps. Some highlights include the firecracker shrimp, which packs a great punch, and the shrimp and corn chowder that's comforting and flavorful.And no visit is complete without dessert! The coconut cake is absolutely massive and to die for, it's the perfect sweet end to a fantastic meal. Whether you're there for happy hour or a full dinner, Reel Fish never disappoints.

My meal was ruined before it even started!The vibe of the place is fine. The seafood fritters were delicious. The fried lobster Rangoon's though were no bueno!I got the Low Country Boil and I frowned before the plate even hit the table! First of all no gloves. Second, NO UTENSILS!I have been eating crab legs and boils since I could say "crab" and without the right utensils for cracking crab legs, you HAVE no meal! So I did NOT get to enjoy my meal. I will not be back until y'all learn the PROPER utensils to provide your customers with to enjoy a boil! Do better!

I can't begin to describe the food here, excellent flavors and everything cooked well. You can tell the folks who made this menu are familiar with flavors and sauces. The seafood fritters, deviled eggs, and fried green tomatoes were insane but the sauces they came with were what made them so memorable. The slightly sweet, savory roasted red pepper sauce was delightful and the bacon jam with the eggs took them to another level. Family friendly environment, though more on the mature side so I wouldn't bring small kids here. Our server was excellent and attentive, and the gentleman who I believe was owner/manager came and regularly checked on us through the meal.Next time we are in Orlando we will definitely be back.

Everything went well here. The food, especially the fish, of course was exceptionally fresh and delicious. Plus the chef would accept requests for different preparation than on the menu. I asked that my fish be blackened instead of simply grilled. It was great! The waitress was very friendly and the owner visited the table to check in with us. We asked for a quieter area and were placed in front of the sushi bar and kitchen. Our location was quieter than the very long bar room. I apologize that I have no food pictures. The only slight complaint I have is that the food took a bit of time to arrive as did our drinks. Otherwise, it is a very pleasant place.

I went to brunch here with a few family members who live in the area. My first surprise was seeing that they have a parking lot. I was so surprised that I drove right by the parking lot because I did not expect to see one.The food was delicious. We had the Fried Grouper Sandwich and the Red Snapper Special. The Red Snapper was a whole fish fried to perfection. The Grouper Sandwich was about 2 inches thick and fried to a nice golden color. Blaine, our server, was a good sport. One of my cousins kept joking around with him. There was a mix up on one of the orders which he sorted out.We had a good time and spent about 3 hours without ever feeling rushed to give up our table. Tyra, the manager was great. She stopped by a few times to make sure that we were having a good experience.The food was so good that we decided to return for a second meal. The second time, one of us had the Grouper Sandwich again while the other had the Redfish Special. The Seafood Fritters were a good starter.Tyra made a point to stop by the table to make sure that we were in good hands. Our server, Nicole, was fantastic. Would definitely ask for her again.

I've been visiting Reel Fish for quite some time now, from their happy hour specials to their dinner items! In this visit I wasn't suuuper hungry but... one look at their menu and I changed my mind I was pleased to know that they do a la cart oysters as apps! You can get as many or little as you like. I tried the baked oysters with Parmesan and they were gooood. We also tried their fried fish sandwhich and MAN was that a SANDWHICH. It was the perfect level of flakiness and paired with a delicious aioli

We had a lunch break so we walked from the coffee house we were at to Reel Fish for what turned out to be some oysters and a burger (at least with me with a gluten-free bun). Located on Orange Avenue in Winter Park, they are known for their seafood.so we indulged in that.Our server was very friendly and attentive. We had our food and drinks fast upon order. My reel burger with gluten-free bun was great and satisfying. The fries were filling but there it is.Oysters were a mixed bag. The Gulf oysters were meaty and wonderful with great brine on the finish. While I enjoyed the meat on the Katoona Beach oysters from Massachusetts and Quonset Bay from Rhode Island, I found them quite flimsy. There wasn't a lot of meat to them, so that was a little disappointing.Overall, I enjoyed my time at the restaurant and would come back to try more items.

Small restaurant with indoor & outdoor seating. Very friendly staff, excellent food all around. Seafood fritters were delicious as an appetizer. Fried catfish and grits was delicious soft catfish with crispy cornbread coating. Fried shrimp and French fries were fresh delicious and crispy good. Will be back!

Lovely to sit outside. Service was excellent, very helpful. Food was everything I dreamed it to be. Looking forward to brunch.

Food is a bit pricey but quality is good.$9 for a cup of fish chowder is too much.Server was friendly and efficient.
