We asked if they had live seafood before heading out to the business. We chose to try them out…read moresince they had good reviews and the photos looked good. We were welcomed upon entrance and given kind, respectful answers to my many questions regarding their seafood. It did smell like live seafood when we walked in. I don't mind the smell due to being raised by seafood foodie parents who eat live fresh seafood weekly. We ordered a crawfish and shrimp combo for $14. We also ordered a crawfish and muzzle combo for my brother. And in addition, we wanted to try the light blue crabs for $20, which was four total blue crabs. These prices included cleaning & cooking the seafood for us. That saves us time and cleaning at home. We brought it home to eat with steamed rice and dipped the seafood in lemon pepper, cocktail sauce, and lime juice. The blue crabs were fresh and full of meat. I would skip the crawfish, mussels, and shrimp for my next seafood feast. The seasonings were perfect.

I wanted a blackened fish sandwich for dinner on a Friday. I attempted Lighthouse in Lake Mary, but…read moreI have never seen it so crowded before. I had The Current bookmarked in Sanford and with it being only fifteen minutes away it was easy to get there. As I approached, I thought, "That's where it is?" I have passed the place many times but never knew it was there! It is a couter service place. Which mostly means a quick in and out. Plenty of seating inside and even some outside. I ordered my Blacken mahi sandwich with Old Bay fries and waited at a table for it to arrive. When it did, all I can say is, wow! Might of been the best blackened fish sandwich I have ever had, wow! The fries could have had a little more seaoning on them, but I was here for the fish and it ruled. Also, for a counter service place I had probably as many "how are you doing" checkins as I would have had with a table service place.

The service was friendly and informative. If you're a newbie like me, you'll need to order at the counter first, then take a seat at one of the communal tables. They also have outdoor seating as well as a bar. I ordered fried okra and fried shrimp. Everything was hot and freshly prepared. It's been years since I've had fried okra and this side dish did not disappoint! Hubby ordered the fried grouper sandwich and fries. Everything tasty! The food arrived quickly. I'm not 100% positive, but the food seemed to be made from scratch, i.e no pre-frozen items. We enjoyed our meal and can't wait to return. Parking is curbside.

One of my favorite things about St. Johns River Steak & Seafood is that you're not just going there…read morefor dinner -- the location makes the whole experience. Sitting right on Lake Monroe with that view of the water, especially around sunset, is hard to beat in Sanford. The food is excellent too. They have a huge selection, so whether you're in the mood for seafood or a steak, there's something for everybody. The seafood always seems fresh, the portions are generous, and they don't skimp on the good stuff. The blackened fish with shrimp and crab risotto is a standout, and you hear people constantly talking about the grouper, shrimp and grits, conch fritters, gator bites and seafood combinations. Their steaks are also legitimately good, so you don't feel like you have to order seafood just because it's on the water. The atmosphere is probably what keeps me coming back. It's casual enough that you can bring the family, but the view makes it nice enough for a date night or special occasion. There's just something relaxing about eating dinner and looking out over the lake. Service has always been another big positive. The staff is friendly and attentive without hovering over you, and even when the restaurant is busy, they do a good job taking care of everyone. That seems to be something a lot of other people mention in their reviews as well. Good food, cold drinks, great service and one of the best restaurant views in Sanford. If somebody was visiting town and asked me where they could get some seafood and actually feel like they were in Florida, this would definitely be on my list.

Really bummed with our meals today. I was looking forward to some delicious hangover food after a…read moregreat night out rocking with my buddies, but today the food was below par at best. We ordered two three piece fish meals with two sides of coleslaw ($10.09 each), the clam strips appetizer ($4.29), and the 5 fried butterfly shrimp ( staff upsold us $1.99). The fish was still good but the pieces are noticeably smaller, the butterfly shrimp and clam strips are mostly breading, not worth the calories. The sides of coleslaw are questionable; it taste like it could be bad but it might be good, is missing the usual sweet flavor and is more bitter, definitely not risking it. Complete waste of four sides. The restaurant is still clean, the atmosphere in the dining area was relaxing and quiet, and the staff were pleasant; however, we took our meals to go, so we didn't realize what we were getting into until we got home and sat down to eat. I might give them a chance again in the future but I'll probably wait until we get a coupon and just go with the Fish, broccoli, and okra, these items haven't let me down yet.

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.

First visit at this establishment. Was recommended by friends, before going I checked the website…read moreto get an idea of what others ordered. My sister started with the clam chowder, which she thought was a little spicy but good. I had a small Caesars salad. For the entree my sister ordered one snow crab cluster which I know for a fact their market price was high, also they don't offer them in any kind of seasoning. Putting Old Bay on them just makes the shell spicy. I ordered the 15 reds, which are peel and eat shrimp. They were great, cooked perfectly. We ordered the hush puppies 3 count, now this was a problem because first they should never be that big and on the oily side to me. Problems I noticed, some of the wait staff is not that friendly also most of the staff serving food without gloves. A young man brought a bowl of food to a customer with his thumb on the rim, gross. This is my major complaint and take away that confirms I won't be back. There are two prices listed on the menu, one if you pay in cash and a higher price if you use a card. That is unacceptable, because some places will state that there will be a percentage up charge , not for every item. The place was somewhat busy when we arrived, but it was a constant flow of traffic, because they also have a seafood market inside to buy your own. I wasn't noisy at all when we went, not sure what it's like later in the evening. My personal takeaway is it's a nice enjoyable place for the locals, but if you're looking flavorful seafood, look further.

I had the Caesar salad and 1501 dry rub wings with ranch. Salad had corn bread croutons which could've been good but tasted like just oiled soaked stale dense bread. Dressing came on the side, which I'm guessing was due to a misunderstanding because my cousin asked for his wing hot sauce on the side. The chicken was chewy unfortunately. The skin was crispy and rub was good but the texture ruined it and they just tasted bad and overcooked. I would opt for another dinner choice or maybe they have other food that's better.

Great option if you're meeting friends for dinner with and are having a hard time deciding on what to eat. Service at the bar is good but sort of non existent for the rest of the hall. A bit disappointing as we had to clean our own table before we could sit down. Regardless it's a great edition to Sanford's already solid food scene.
