Found leeches on crab legs. The seafood here in this restaurant isn't safe don't feed it to your family. I have been coming here for more than a year only to discover the food handling here is not safe at all. When I spoke to the owner about it he gave me attitude and did not issue to the gravity of the situation. To the owner: the customer service here at this place is not great its actually really bad mainly due to your daughters are running it. Yet another employed child. You should have taken accountability of your product and my experience. You lost a loyal customer over this. Please remember there are multiple Chinese restaurants in the area, one can simply choose not to go here. To everyone attempting to eat here: if this were to happen to you, your parents or your children you'd be extensively disgusted and angry. This situation was not handled properly from the owners. In addition, God knows how many more diseases or infections the sea food here may have. I extremely recommend choosing a different restaurant due to the food handling. It may appear clean but the food is clearly not. And the owner openly admitted he orders the sea food like that.

So when I first walked up to this place I was extremely skeptical because me husband told me that we were going to get to get seafood and the sign says "China Taste" (my husbands hates Chinese food) so to my surprise they had a Cajun seafood menu! So we sat in the restaurant and from whaat i coUld tell, it's family owned and operated (WHICH I LOVED!) we ordered a platter that had crab, shrimp, sausage, corn, and potatoes with a mussels, yummmmmm! We opted for the house special sauce which was a mixture of lemon pepper seasoning, garlic butter, and Cajun seasoning. Honestly it was some of the best seafood I've had in central Florida! It was very flavorful aNd the staff was really nice and helpful. Since going here I've already made more orders to this place.

I was a bit skeptical when they first started the seafood boil, but after my first order I'm hooked!! Reasonably priced, prepared well and absolutely delicious!! The house sauce (everything mixed) is so good I could drink it straight

No phone miscommunication - written in plain text. Still wrong phone number and address.

What happened to this place? New management? What ever it is, I'm incredibly disappointed with where this restaurant has gone in the past two years. We used to order once or twice a week via delivery. The delivery man is the only thing that has stayed consistent over the past two years - he is always nice. However, I suppose, last night was my last straw with this place. I will never again order from here or recommend it to anyone. Here's why: 1. Placed the order online. There was glitch in the online payment system for credit cards. So, I sent the order off as cash and immediately called them on my fiancé phone to give them my card numbers over the phone. The gentleman asked me if the card's mailing address was the same as the address they had on the order (for card verification on the machine). I replied "yes," he does something and says "ok, all set. We will have it to you in about an hour and 15 minutes." 2. An hour later, my fiancé, who was working at the time, looks at his phone and tells me, "someone called my phone 6 times five minutes ago. Is it the restaurant?" My order had my phone number as the contact number, yet they called my fiance... most likely because they were looking at caller ID instead of looking at my actual order form. My phone number, which was on the order form clearly, was not called once. 3. I called them again to see what the problem was. The guys says "we tried to deliver to 625 Courtland Rd. - that's not a real address." I tell him our address, again, and look at my e-mail confirmation, which shows my correct address. Where they got 625 Courtland, I have no idea. 4. He says, "ok, I'll have it sent back out." I ask him, "well, is my food cold now?" to which he retorts rudely, "I've had food sit here for 4 hours and it's still warm." Not wanting to argue, I say ok and thank you. Who leaves food on a counter for four hours? And what kind of magician can keep food warm in a paper bag for 4 hours? I've been to there location - they keep food to be picked up at the front counter. I should have said to remake it, but considering my history with them, I trusted my food would be OK. 5. The same, kind, delivery man shows up 30 minutes later (at this point, an hour and 45 minutes has elapsed and asks for the cash payment. We tell him we paid with a card over the phone and he asks us to call the store. At this point, my fiancé is angry and calls them himself. The same guy picks up, says, "oh your card is declined" and when asked to read the card numbers we provided, he spurts out some numbers that are no where close to the numbers I had provided him and that he himself had oked an hour and 45 minutes prior! The ridiculous part about the entire thing is that he doesn't call the delivery man to handle the card issue. He has my fiancé walk back and forth, in and out of the house between his wallet, consulting with me about if it was the same guy on the phone, and speaking with the delivery man. Such poor customer service. 6. Now the worst part - our food was cold. Not room temp - cold. I ordered pork dumplings, which are impossible to reheat (re-steam and they get mushy, microwave and they get rubbery). So, he lied about our food being warm. Shame on this place and the people they have hired recently. They lost yet another good customer, though according to recent reviews, I'm not the only one. You should have refunded us for all the complications or at the very least, remade our meals. Will never go back and am rather sad, because there food is pretty decent. I guess I'll go into Orange City for Chinese from now on.

Shrimp & scallops??

Recently I had dinner at Lighthouse Seafood Market & Cafe and it was my first time there, but…read moredefinitely not my last. Lighthouse is both a full seafood market and restaurant, giving you that fresh off the boat quality seafood cooked exactly how you like and served right to your table. I had the Blackened Grouper with broccoli and parsley red potatoes. The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly, super juicy and incredibly fresh. The sides were just as good paired with the fish perfectly. I also had a tasty little side Caesar salad. The house Caesar dressing was great, lightly dressed so it didn't drown the romaine like some places do, and finished with grated parmesan and crunchy croutons. Overall, this was a great meal. The service was great, the food was excellent, and I would highly recommend checking them out.

Let's start with Morgan because WOW. If customer service had a Hall of Fame, she'd already have a statue out front. She was super nice, fast, on point, and somehow knew what we needed before we did. Shrimp & Grits: one bite and just sat there in silence and awe! Fried Shrimp Basket: Crispy like it just graduated from Crunch University. Not greasy, not heavy, golden perfection. These shrimp had more balance than my checking account and more flavor than most people's personalities. This place didn't just meet expectations--it body-slammed them! Highly recommend.

We visited with our dog and were able to sit at one of the couple outdoor tables. Despite this being a counter service restaurant, the service and friendliness were excellent from the owner and staff. Food came out hot and fresh and they continued to check on us throughout the meal. Our party ordered the mahi sandwich, the blackened shrimp caesar, the fried shrimp and the Current salad. Everything was fresh and well done but would highly recommend the fried shrimp. Love that they have that light dusted batter that's 90% shrimp and not too much breading. The salads were also good, though a little heavy on the dressing for our liking. Overall the Current Seafood Bar is a great addition to Sanford for a casual seafood lunch or dinner. I think the pricing fits the portion and quality of food and I will be back.

My husband and I started with the buffalo shrimp, which is a go-to order for us at seafood spots. The buffalo flavor was good, but the sauce was very oily, and several shrimp still had bits of shell attached beyond the tails, so I ended up picking shell out of my mouth while eating. For my entrée, I ordered the snow crab and shrimp platter and asked for it to be cooked without butter but keep the old bay. The plate arrived with no discernible seasoning at all, and the seafood, potatoes, and corn tasted like they'd been boiled in plain water. When I asked about it, the server explained that they don't steam crab or shrimp in Old Bay, despite agreeing to that when I ordered, and that the platters rely on butter for flavor, which was disappointing for a $40-$50 dish. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because my mother did enjoy her lobster platter. That said, her lobster was absolutely swimming in butter and Old Bay--not lightly drizzled as the menu implies--and it felt like butter was the main source of flavor rather than an enhancement. The server even mentioned how much butter the restaurant goes through in a day, which reinforced that this is their primary approach to seasoning. I enjoy seasoning and lots of flavor, and I prefer seafood that's cooked so the spices and the delicious taste of the shellfish stand out, not preparations that rely on heavy butter, so this restaurant ultimately wasn't a good fit for my preferences.

The vibe is laid-back, the service is friendly, and the food is the real reason I keep coming back. First off, the **oysters** are the star of the show. They have **so many different ways to order them**, which makes it fun because you can switch it up depending on what you're craving. Whether you want them classic, dressed up, or with more flavor and heat, there's always an option that feels like the right move. And then there are the **wings** -- seriously underrated. My favorite is the **mango habanero** flavor. It's got that perfect balance where you get the sweet first, then the heat kicks in and keeps it interesting without being overpowering. Crispy, saucy, and consistent every time. Don't sleep on the **burgers** either. They're filling, well-seasoned, and cooked right -- the kind of burger you actually remember after you leave. Everything comes out hot, the portions are solid, and the quality feels like they take pride in what they serve. If you're in Orange City and want a place with great oysters, killer wings, and a burger that doesn't disappoint, **The Oyster Bar** is absolutely worth stopping in for.

I waited 20 minutes and finally went to the bar myself to get a drink. We weren't checked on, the food came Out at all different times. My boyfriend was done eating by the time my food came.
