14 Best Seafood Restaurants in Punta Gorda

“I purchased the triple tail value pack and made the stuffed triple tail recipe from the blog. All I can say is WOW! The fish is amazing quality and the recipe was outstanding- even my husband who doesn’t like fish cleared his plate!!!“

“We called with a party of 10 and got a recording stating that reservations were not taken. We arrived and were told that there were no tables available and that we should have made reservations. We explained that we tried to and showed the Hostess the Website and number we called. We asked to speak with the Manager to make him aware of the website. Travis introduced himself and seated us temporarily outside( it was not the best of Florida weather this night) and had staff circle heaters around our table and brought us complimentary appetizers until they could accommodate all of us. Travis gave us his personal cell # and in our opinion went above and beyond to make this a Special Evening for all of us. This is not our first time here, but it was with such a large group. Justina was our Server and is Personality Plus The food is always excellent“

“Had the Fritto Misto Mercato and the Bang Bang Shrimp. Absolutely amazing food. Presentation, flavour, quality, portion, impeccable.“

“First time there, food was great, service was on point, friendly staff from intake to delivery, and we sure will be coming back with a lot more family to experience your amazing hospitality“

“I drove from Clearwater (100 miles) to try the AYCE Blue Crab ? last night and was extremely satisfied with the service and the food! The crabs were cooked to perfection and the waitress checked on me quite often for refills! I will be back for sure!“

“Excellent serving size“

“Great quick lunch at Mainely Seafood before the inspections. It was a laid back place, delicious seafood served in a simple, non fussy atmosphere. Tuna app was fresh and delicious, the gator bites were of good size and perfectly breaded and fried, one of the best i ve had so far : ) I shall return to try other items on the menu.“

“Eating outdoors, seafood, the sushi, fish and chips.“

“The staff is so friendly and the food tastes great. I’ve eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. A few servers I’ve had really stand out. Ari and Michele do a great job. Bartenders are very attentive too if you end up there as I have a few times. The captains chowder is the best way to start your meal. The view is a nice plus as well.“

“Had a Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, it was very tasty and one of the best I’ve ever had, my friends had a Po Boy and substituted the shrimp for gator bites and they raved about how great it was. The service was outstanding.. will definitely be back.“

“Loved the grouper tacos ? tonight!!“

“The owner and staff are some of the nicest, most accommodating people I have ever met! They were so great with my two year old. Their food was absolutely phenomenal as well! Will definitely be a regular patron now. Couldn’t recommend them enough!“

“Their CHEF IS AMAZING. He is definitely a five-star CHEF! Every meal I have ever eaten from F.M. Dons has been "THE BEST OF THE BEST." I DEEPLY THANK HIM FOR EVERY WONDERFUL MEAL I HAVE EVER BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO EAT THAT HE SO EXPERTLY PREPARED. I wish I could afford to take him home AND KEEP HIM. LOL THANK YOU CHEF FOR SHARING YOUR TALENTS AND EXPERTISE IN THE CULINARY WORLD WITH US. AALIENLADY“

“We drove over 2 hours to find out if their blue crabs were any good. They did not disappoint. I had the all you can eat for $45. I was expecting a lot of smalls but these were all at least mediums. These guys were all packed with meat...HEAVY! They came out steaming hot. Most Florida restaurants boil their crab which I'll eat but are a yucky mess. I did not have a single watery crab! I had asked for crab soup to take home to my son but they had just run out. The server offered to send me home with a bag of crabs (8) for $5. These were wonderful as well and I was able to make him soup loaded with crab meat. For you landlubbers, they do have other options. My husband's burger was very good. I thought the service was great without being over bearing. Our server always magically appeared before or as we needed something. Yes, I will be back and I highly recommend checking them out!!“
