What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Deep Lagoon Seafood and Oyster House offers a relaxed, upscale atmosphere with a focus on fresh, local seafood and stunning marina views. While many praise the quality of ingredients and specific dishes like the crab dip and lobster bisque, some reviews mention inconsistent seasoning, slow service, and a feeling that the dining experience doesn't always match the price point.
"Excellent service both from our bartender before and the young man that served us, wish I could remember his name. We had the Little Chill and it was excellent as was my lobster bisque and coconut shrimp. Too full after so I brought dessert home not realizing how huge they were. The best carrot cake I have Ever had in my Life!"

"We stopped in for dinner and the vibe was exactly what you’d expect from a coastal Florida spot—chill, breezy, and just upscale enough to feel like a treat. We grabbed a table on the patio with a great view of the marina. Heads up, though: it gets hot out there. Beautiful setting, but definitely better for cooler evenings unless you love sweating with your seafood.
We kicked things off with the grouper fingers and coconut shrimp. The grouper was nicely cooked—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—but a little on the bland side. Nothing a sprinkle of salt couldn’t fix, but it left us wanting a bit more flavor. The coconut shrimp were okay, but they were on the small side and didn’t quite pop like we hoped.
Service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere overall made for a nice night out. We’d come back to try some of the other dishes and probably opt for indoor seating next time."

"I placed an order online for the Smashburger with Cheese and the Fried Calamari. I went into the bar to have a few beers while I waited for the food. Very nice place with fresh seafood and right on the canal for a nice atmosphere. The blinds were all close which was weird considering the beautiful boats and waterfront outside. I sure wish they would’ve been open. The service was dry and complacent. The staff was more concerned with cleaning and talking about their schedule than attending to customers. I had to make eye contact with the bartender several times before he realized I’d like another beer. The food was pretty good, nothing to write home about but solid nonetheless. The calamari was crispy, seasoned well and was definitely frozen but it still tasted good. The burger was overcooked and dry and didn’t have any of the cheese that was promised on the menu. I got fries with my burger and they put a huge pile of wet, cold pickles on top of them which added a very nice soggy texture to them. lol I also had Brussel Sprouts with my burger and they were well cooked and the best thing I had overall. Too bad, lots of expensive cars and boats but the food and service did not match the ambiance or price point."
