The only good thing here is fried clams! They are just like Howard Johnson's in the old days. Otherwise overpriced but a great view.

First time visit Good location with a nice view, but that was it. Food was overpriced and over cooked. Service is poor , supplied by an untrained staff. The food runner brought out entrees with no place to put them. I had to get up and clear the salad and appetizer plates from our table While these kids stood there with a cooking entree in each hand. The calamari was chain restaurant calamari with a sauce from a jar. All fish entrees were dry and hard, and the seafood gumbo had a lot of okra but no seafood. The restaurant itself is pretty, but dirty. The floor was littered with spilled food and dropped cocktail napkins. I'm sorry we went to this place and won't go back. I suggest you stay away too.

Ate our Thanksgiving meal there, Turkey and traditional sides. They should sick to fish. Turkey was tasteless and looked like a processed roll. One side that was good were the green beans. When the manager came by to ask about the meal; wife told her that it was like we were at an Applebees not a higher end restaurant we usually enjoy. She substituted her meal for a fish dinner ( not very TGish) but appreciated the gesture. Nice view and clean dining area. Attentive waiter. Fast service. Recommend they close on TG and Christmas. read more

My wife and i joined another couple for lunch here-it was our first time, they had been several times. We sat outside and had a wonderful view of the bay-if possible, I recommend asking for a table on the rail, much better view. Why the three stars-The service was very slow, there was a mistake on our checks and it took another 15 minutes to sort out. My wife order the PEI clams Sorrento style and the portion was extremely small-if you order this, do so as an appetizer. Our friends half fish and chips was another small portion-one small fried fish and some onion rings. I ordered triple tail fish tacos-they could be cooked fare, fried or blackened style. The waiter never gave a good explanation of what style fare was-he kept saying they are fried-well they were battered fried, the same as our friend who ordered FRIED. We can say we have dined here, when asked, however probably will not be back despite the wonderful view. read more

Food great! Service is horrific! Stopped going! Mike the Manager is a great guy. It was fabulous when first opened. Not anymore

Great view. Food is ok but not outstanding. Service is variable. We live close so I have been often as people love the view over the ICW.

We had a good meal with excellent service. The best part is the view of the sunset on the intercoastal! Their reservation system is awesome! Reminders... and we were seated right away when we arrived. Top notch! read more

Food is always great and nice place to watch the sunset if you're lucky enough to seat outside.

We really like coming to Deep Lagoon especially with friends and family, after visiting multiple times over the last year or so the one thing that makes us pause is the seating situation. Someone is always hanging off the end of the table a four top really should only have 2 ppl and 6 tops should really be 4. I get they want to get ppl in but hanging of the end of the table bc they are squeezing in an extra seat and paying the amount you do no matter how good the food or service just kind of ruins it. read more

Great food, drinks and services with a beautiful view. We came by boat and had a wonderful afternoon with friends.

The view this place offers is something worth coming to this place for. It overlooks a lagoon and the minute I walked in, I was mesmerized. The food was ok but my apple martini was good. Service was good. read more

Food is great and the atmosphere is fabulous! The menu selection is ample as well and the servers and hostesses are friendly and accommodating. read more

The restaurant is beautiful and very relaxing. The service was amazing as well. Someone in our group got an overcooked steak and they quickly sent another one. The food itself was just not good however. The coconut shrimp were way overcooked and almost burnt and just didn't feel like sending it back. I think working a little harder at better quality cooking would be good. Will go there again for a drink and an app but never for a dinner again. read more

We had a Friday night reservation for a party of two; first time visitors. The place was packed and quite noisy, but very lively too. The a/c must have been on low, because it was really warm inside. Our waitress was great, super efficent and friendly. Definitely try the crab rangoons, delicious! CON: We waited at least 40 minutes for our meal after the appetizer was served. Was told the kitchen was backed up due to a large party. If the service is like that on a regular basis, they need to fix it somehow. Would return and see, but have gone home after vacationing in Sarasota. read more

The food is excellent along with the service. The restaurant is on the expensive side, but the food is fresh, cooked excellent and presented wonderfully. The restaurant is in the water so when you are eating or waiting the ambiance is great. read more

The restaurant is pretty and the views are outstanding. The hostesses were pleasant. We were standing near the open concept kitchen while waiting for a table and noticed multiple instances of very poor food safety practices. For example: raw shrimp stored next to cooked shrimp... raw shrimp stored above cooked lobster... raw fish next to cooked lobster... cut fish sitting out for at least the 30 min we were there... seafood tower being built by the same person making salads who never changed their gloves between activities... oysters stored piled up with many not in ice or anywhere near it...etc. It was so gross we left before being sat. read more

Great service, wonderful views of the inland waterway and tasty seafood... Captain's Platter Lobster read more

Deep Lagoon Seafood and Oyster House - From the deck - Seafood Near Me - Osprey, Florida

The view was lovely and a relaxed vibe. The waitstaff seemed overwhelmed but trying to stay calm at the same time. Not sure what the staffing situation is or if it was her. Things just seemed off. I ordered a salad no tomato and extra cucumber, it came just as a regular salad with tomato, not the end of the world just a lack of attention to detail. We had one fish order that was 5 Oz cooked through and one 8oz. We think that was flip flopped. They addressed it by sending out a bit more fish. Thank goodness because the first piece was way over cooked. This is from a 14 yr. old who doesn't really care that much. We also ordered a seafood chill. Again the lobster on it was over cooked. The wine list is a bit blah. This restaurant has lots of potential but was just so so. read more

You are definitely paying for the view. I'm a bit torn on this review, if we stopped with apps I'd probably bump it up to 4 but my entree (fish and chips) was just awful, super dry and cold. They could also do with a better beer list, with so many great breweries around Tampa Bay to not even have one local option aside from a mediocre IPA from ft Lauderdale is a shame. That being said the fried oysters and coconut shrimp salad were awesome and I'd come back just for them. My husband's entree (seafood fra diavolo) was also way better than mine. Service was prompt and friendly. read more

Food was good, key line pie is not. No tartness, more like a cheesecake. OK as a dessert. Crust looked like a manufactured crust.

Great food, great service, great ambience, bartenders are very friendly & remembers my name every time, don't like the windows open at the bar, the hot humid weather makes it uncomfortable to eat at the bar read more

Needs a total management redo - terrible food - long wait time for food and drinks. So much potential with the location and atmosphere but won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Food and service were the best! One of the best seafood restaurants I've been to in this area. Looking forward to going back and enjoying more of their menu items. read more

Food is excellent, as is the service! They currently have a dinner special that is an incredible value. Appetizer, entree and dessert for $30. And, if you get two entrees, $30 off a bottle of wine! read more

My wife and I ate at the restaurant recently. The atmosphere was awesome. Drinks are on the stingy side with kind of a premium price. My Greek salad was very bare bones, my mussels tasted ok. I just figured that an outstanding place on the water with very premium prices I would of been wowed. Unfortunately the extra 50 spent on dinner for 2 would be incredible. 230.00 w tip I expected more. Although the staff, and management are top notch. The restaurant is very comfortable and welcoming. Stop by for a meal and you will still be pleased. They just need to upgrade either the Chef or recipes. read more

Beautiful views! Great food! Great server! Good idea to make reservations! Hostess could have used a dose of friendly! read more

Great food and service! Will definitely be back!!! I had the stuffed grouper and it was wonderful!

The atmosphere is what you pay for. The food is very average, my 5oz piece of grouper was overdone and very unappetizing looking. Another guest in our group ordered the larger piece of grouper and that was also tough and had a grayish color. We were with a group of people so I did not complain, otherwise I would have definitely returned my fish. The service was good, our waiter was working hard. The place is possibly too large to serve quality food. read more

Great atmosphere. Had small clams appetizer, I did not care for it as it was chewy and served in a bowl of melted butter. My friend had a salad with shrimp/seafood salad maybe and served in a ramekin of creamy/Alfredo sauce seafood which we both thought was interesting and strange not to be served directly on the salad. Server was nice after a not so friendly start at the hostess station. read more

Go for the view. This place has one of the best dining views in the area. Be sure to sit outside. Justin was a knowledgeable and attentive server. He immediately brought a gluten free menu when he learned that one of has gluten issues. The food was what one would expect for this sort of place. If I would change one thing it would be the draft beer list. It's sort of blah, with only one Florida beer. I would feel more like being on vacation if there were some more local brews such as Big Top or Motor Works. read more

food was excellent, service was prompt even though they were very busy. ambiance was socially pleasant.

Sorry three stars is all I can give this place. They have a very poor beer selection Only one IPA on tap and it's that nasty 5.9 water down so called beer Strike one. Atmosphere is rather stuffy. Like no personality! If that makes sense. When you walk in a new place and you either get that welcome feeling or one that kinda puts you on edge? Felt like the latter Strike two. Food was amazing The grab Rangoon is two thumbs up . If you go during happy hr prices are not bad for what they offer and it's limited. Now after happy hour is over run! Prices go up!! Oh if you order an two entrees you get $30 bucks knocked off a bottle of wine? So if you can afford the meal they should just give you the bottle for the prices ! Not a place to go if you are on a fixed income! Not sure if they offer veterans discount or not? Bottom line this is not a place I would visit very often would have to be a special occasion or I get a windfall to go back Honestly if your a tourist, visitor, they want your business If your local. I'd find a difference place to hang out Last but not least, when the snow birds arrive Reservations only. When they leave first come first serve. read more

Spectacular atmosphere on the outside deck. Food was between good (fish and chips/hogfish) and excellent (blackened swordfish) for us. Only comments were the battered (frozen) french fries and a very limited craft beer menu. Come on. A place like this should be fresh cut. Prices are fair for a restaurant of this type. Will return, probably during happy hour. read more

We had a party of 12 with reservations. Our table was ready when we arrived. Christian our waiter was excellent. He remembered who ordered what beverages and meals...every meal was correct. I felt the price for my meal was very fair. I had a cup of clam chowder that was delicious and full of clams. I ordered the 5 oz grouper grilled/blackened, fresh green beans, and saffron rice. I also ordered a large bottle of Saratoga Sparkling water. My check was only $35! We were seated to enjoy a beautiful sunset. The blinds were then opened and a nice breeze was enjoyed by all. We all enjoyed great food, wonderful service, and clean coastal environment. I wish I would have saved room for dessert!! I will definitely be back!! read more

Not the first time at DL however invited friends as we had a 40% off entire bill coupon from their online services celebrating the opening of two new locations. Ah, not so fast, Kemosabe, the embarrassed waitress informed us that we had to go to one of the two new restaurants to get the discount. Asked for manager, he talked a good game, took my name and phone number, implied someone would be calling, that is the last heard for him. Did I mention that nowhere on the worthless flyer/coupon did it say that it was only good at those two locations. Deceptive advertising for sure. Too many other better places to go. See Ya! read more

Great waterfront restaurant with happy hour specials and wonderful bartenders. The view is spectacular

Beautiful view of the water, wonderful service, and outstanding food! It's pricey, but well worth the cost!

Was greeted by a sweet receptionist, had asked for inside table but it was a beautiful day, asked if out side was possible and she found a very lovely table. We all had drinks, and lots of appetizers.. All delicious.. Would definitely go back again .. read more

Food was very good as was my service.. the view over the Intercoastal was excellent. Parking was easy and they do take reservations! I will return! They also have an elevator for easy access! Great experience... read more

I've been here twice (Aug and Nov 2022). It's just o. k. to me. It's a little high priced for the quality you receive. The atmosphere feels like a glorified fish market. It was disappointing both times. But everyone is different. Maybe I just expected better. read more
