What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Luff's Fish House garners high praise for its fantastic, fresh seafood and amazing service. Diners consistently rave about the charming Key West-inspired ambiance and the standout Key Lime pie. While some find the prices on the higher side, most agree the quality and overall experience are well worth it.
"charming restaurant! Friendly service. We had the sangria which was very tasty and they modified the sugar to our taste . For our meal the grouper blackened on salad greens which was fresh and delicious. Key lime pie was a gargantuan piece light not too sweet. I can go back just for the pie.."

"I don't leave many reviews. Something being "good" is not usually enough to stir me from my languor and to Google for this purpose.
Luff's is a whole heck of a lot more than that. It may be a relatively new establishment, but it absolutely lives up to the auspicious, classic building it's in by harkening back to a (maybe fictional) time before Boca was just a retreat for the extravagantly wealthy. I mean...it's always been that, somewhat, but Palmetto Park Road has kind of become terrifying in its multi-million dollar stucco-and-terracotta affairs that threaten to block out the hard Florida sun. I digress.
I had a dozen of the best oysters I've had outside of Maryland, with a killer red wine vinegar mignonette and horseradish, and the fried local catch bites, which happened to be Grouper today. Both were everything I want out of a seafood dinner: Fresh, well-presented, and delicious.
The vibe, as mentioned, is incomparable. Jonathan was a great server. The staff and regular patrons have a rapport that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy yourself.
Oh! And don't sleep on the Key Lime Pie (but maybe take your server's advice and put some of it in the to-go box when they offer it).
All-in-all, Luff's was the absolute highlight of my business trip down here and I think you'd be missing out if you didn't try it while you were nearby. Don't blanche at the cost; you're paying exactly what it's worth."

"You have to stop by this place. Although we didn't dine inside, the patio/deck was set for any weather situation. The ambiance was nice as well as the food. We ordered the Whole Fried Snapper...also with the sweet tater tot (very delicious). Also, treat yourself to a slice of Key Lime Cheesecake Pie."
