12 Best Seafood Restaurants near Ocklawaha

“Food was good, but nothing to brag about(frozen crinkle fries, mozz sticks). Atmosphere is great on the lake sitting outside but table top has holes in the clear coat and peeling and could use resurfacing. Kids enjoyed the burgers and fries, chicken ceaser wrap was good, wife raved about the fish tacos! Great place to go if on a boat and looking for a drink or meal.Kid-friendliness: Beach on property for kids to splash in lake“

“Our favorite place to eat lunch and dinner.Food is always delicious and the service is excellent. Our waiter this time was Gifroy and he was top notch! It was Valentine's Day so he had a red blazer with a red tie. Aubrey the manager came by our table and we told her we liked Gifroy's jacket n tie and he was excellent. She said Gifroy wears a different jacket for each holiday! Thank you for making our Valentine lunch extra special.“

“This place was absolutely amazing 10 out of 10 would recommend anybody to go there and get all you can eat the shrimp and the clam strips were amazing the fish was absolutely amazing it was good it's breaded amazinglyand so hot coming out every time definitely going back and bringing friends“

“Gorgeous little locally owned Seafood restaurant. A little upscale. The staff were amazing. Everyone was friendly with a big smile. The scenery was nice with natural colors and saltwater decor. The food was priced very reasonably. The portion sizes were much smaller than comparable restaurants, but the prices reflected the difference. The drinks were well prepared and suggested by the staff. The crab stuffed shrimp was good, but it tasted almost commercialized, and the alfredo sauce didn't pair well with it, in my opinion. The fried rice was a bit too lemony for our liking. The asparagus and creamed spinach were cooked perfectly. Overall, it was a nice dinner but not sure I'd recommend it as the best place around.“

“I was there with a group of women for brunch. The buffet is great. The service was excellent. Mimosas come with brunch.Parking: I had no problem finding a parking spot. Snowbird season has ended. I can't imagine what it would have been like during their season.“

“Finally, we found a good Mexican restaurant!!! You know it's going to be good if the salsa is good, and their salsas are excellent! Proportions are generous, burritos were delicious, and the service was outstanding. Prices are reasonable as well. We'll definitely go back! Love the decor too!“

“The outdoor bar has plenty of seating but is close to other tables. I enjoyed that because it allowed me to socialize with others easily! The water view is an added bonus. Jersey Frank was the musician, and he played a wide variety of upbeat familiar songs. It was very enjoyable! On both visits, the food was good, but the service was top-notch!“

“Lobster bisque is absolutely the tastiest I’ve ever had. The bacon crumbles really makes this bisque a favorite of mine.The Jamaican Coconut Pie delicious! Creamy coconut custard with mouthwatering rum sauce I wanted to bathe in. I’ve dined here several times and never disappointed.“

“Came for Lobster fest. Was looking forward to the twin Lobster tail special. Then our server told us it was unavailable.After a short talk with the manager , he handled the problem. I had a happy birthday because of Terrance the manager. Great manager.“

“Lighthouse's gig is to emulate a New England chowder house. It does a great job of it. Overlooking Lake Sumter, this restaurant specializes in seafood; scallops, shrimp, mollusks, crab, lobster, and fish. This was my second visit, and I had the Fish & Chips lunch special for $6.99. Very tender fish, perfectly crusted, with just enough fries. Some places overdo the fries and you end up leaving the place feeling bloated because you keep picking on them til they're gone. Lighthouse wants you to leave full, not bloated, and they do it well. My only criticism about the dish was the tartar sauce. It's Ken's brand, comes in a single-serve pack that you have to peel the top off. They should make their own.The service was very good, polite, cheerful, with a much better "sense of urgency" than you see in similar restaurants in the area.My first visit was several months ago, and the littleneck steamers were delicious. I wish the prices were lower for their dinner menu; if they raised the lunch specials by $2 per plate, they could probably get away with taking a couple of their regular dinner menu items and reducing the price of them a couple days a week on an alternating basis. Unfortunately, this is typical of The Villages, where good food is priced as if it was gourmet food. Lighthouse is good food. It's not foodie food. I'm glad for that, I like just good old fashioned New England chowder house food, and miss it like crazy down in The Villages. But at these prices, it's going to be only 2-3 times a year treat for anything other than the lunch special fish and chips, rather than the once a month whole-belly clams up north.“
