For starters, the building here at Fish Tails is beautiful. I didn't get to go upstairs, but I enjoyed the view of Pleasure Pier and the Gulf of Mexico from downstairs. This is a premium spot to go and sit for "PEOPLE WATCHING."The scenery was dynamic, especially because it was a sunny, cloudless day ?.The downstairs dining area was not too busy. I sat myself and was greeted by the young guy at the ice creamery named Jack." He looked a bit, "jacked up!". But he was pleasant and generous since NO server immediately greeted me. Besides, ol, jacked up JACK.THEY looked at me as if to say why this man coming here to eat by himself.THANKS, JACK! You're the hero.The deep-fried onions that come with the crab balls were SOOOO SALTY. Don't let your grandma who has high blood pressure eat these fried onions because you might be calling an AMBULANCE.I told my server JANE DOE; she insisted on having the cook reflour them, but this time they were not seasoned ONLY tasting like flour battered onions. Yuck!Can you imagine battered flour onions NO taste??The crab balls were OK. I give them a 5 out of 10. They, too, were VERY SALTY, and the taste of the crab is undistinguished because of the OVERSEASONING...Parking: So much Much parking. But if you're coming to visit Thursday to Sunday (pre-summer) ARRIVE EARLIER THAN PLANNED. (hint*,hint*)Wheelchair accessibility: There was wheelchair access into the restaurant.

I had the Fisherman's Platter, with the very delicious bacon wrapped shrimp, fried oysters and grilled fish. Awesome!
We just happened to see this place and wanted to check it out. Waited a reasonable time considering it was dinner time on a weekend. The food and service was amazing! We are not from the area but would come back here the next time we come back☺️

Delicious tasting food, fresh shrimp and the best pasta you can eat. The view is spectacular and the wait time for a table is 15-20 minutes.

Couldn't believe we had to pay 12.00 to park to eat here. They used to validate the parking ticket. This is a horrible way to treat your Restaurant customers. The Restaurant should have its own parking!!!

The balcony overlooking the gulf is a great setting for a very good meal. Fish Tales delivered on a very good dinner.Wheelchair accessibility: There is an elevator to get you around the stairs if you need it.
the host sat us on the balcony, which was our preference. The view was great. Sat there for about 30 minutes until a server asked if anyone had been with us. I told her no, she kept walking. Came back about 5-10 minutes later, took our order and Brought our water Took about 15 minutes to get my bar beverage. Food came out sooo cold, & we asked for 2 sides of ranch (when we ordered the food) Took about ten minutes to get that after the food came out. Didn’t see my server again so I asked another employee if we could cash out, he went and got my server and Gave her my card to pay, in which took about TEN MINUTES FOR THAT and by the time I gave her my card what “rush” they did have was already cleared out!!No wait at the door when we got there. It was a Wednesday night. Been in the service industry long enough to tell the difference between in the weeds and just careless. I literally watched people get their food who sat down after us before we got our drinks. Crayyyyyyy.

Mike, our server, was excellent. He was friendly, made excellent recommendations and made sure everything was exactly as it should be. The food was also amazing. My son has the blackened snapper, I had the trio with salmon, shrimp and crabcake. Highly recommended! We also had pickles and calamari for appetizers.

Mike was an excellent waiter, everything we tried was fantastic and we would definitely eat here again. The fish was fresh and delicious and there were no bones in the snapper. I highly recommend this to anyone seeking a delectable and expertly prepared fish dish.

Average experience here, we were excited to try it given the reviews and how crowded it looked but were definitely underwhelmed with food and drinks. After about 30 min wait on a Saturday afternoon around 6 pm we got our table outdoors on the top, which is probably the only saving grace for this place, since the views are good. However we ordered shrimp kisses and hubby got a burger since he is not into seafood and both items disappointed. We had to send the burger back as it was undercooked and the shrimp bacon thing was OVER salty!! Do not recommend the place for food unless you just want the views and something small to munch on.I will add that the floor manager came to us and apologised and took the burger off our bill. The server also shared her concern. Which was nice of them, however given the distance we traveled to explore this little town, I doubt we will be back here again.
