We were genuinely excited to try Luff's Fish House on Palmetto Park Road after seeing it pop up repeatedly on Instagram and TikTok. The space is charming, tidy, and clearly well-managed ... the kind of place that makes a strong first impression. We came with lobster in mind and ordered the lobster quesadilla, the lobster roll, and a shrimp entrée. Unfortunately, despite the promising setup, the food didn't deliver. Each dish lacked seasoning to the point where we had to add salt just to coax out some flavor. The lobster was inconsistently prepared ...parts were chewy, and in the quesadillas, two out of three had barely a trace of lobster, while one had a more generous portion. The imbalance was noticeable and disappointing given the price point. That said, service was a bright spot. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and did something rarely seen... she politely asked for permission before sharing the specials, which we really appreciated. It's clear the staff is doing their part, but on this particular visit, the kitchen simply didn't match the energy or expectations set by the social media buzz. While we won't be returning, I do hope others have a better experience. Perhaps it was an off day. If you're curious, it may still be worth a try..the ambiance is lovely, and the service is warm. Just go in with tempered expectations when it comes to the food. read more

Amazing service and food. You will love anything you order off the menu. My husband loved the home made key lime pie and lobster roll. I had a fish dish and it was well prepared. read more

Luff's Fish House - Seafood Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I'll start out by saying this was the best seafood we've had thus far on our trip. The business has free valet: use it. They offer a car wash while you eat, but we did not partake in that, so I don't know if there is a cost for it. Kate was our waitress & she was fantastic. She was attentive, prompt, and friendly. She kept our drinks filled without us ever even having to ask. She also knew the menu very well. My daughter ordered the Salmon and we shared the swordfish. The roasted carrots and zucchini that came with ours were done perfectly! The flavor of the fish was amazing too. We opted for a garlic herb butter on the side, and so happy we did! The salmon was perfectly cooked too and the flavor was so satisfying. We sat outside and enjoyed the FL sun. Very clean and awesome service! We will visit again in our future visits. read more

Luff's Fish House - Appetizer - Seafood Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Really solid food and amazing service! Nice atmosphere on the patio, but a little closed off. Delicious fish and key lime pie!

First place I found in Boca that I actually enjoyed. Every experience the food and service was always on point. The oyster specials on Monday used to be my favorite thing to go to. And I love sitting outside feeling like I'm eating on a friends back porch in old school Boca. read more

Came here for my birthday dinner and was seated right away on an early Friday night. The waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and was attentive. The food came out fast and fresh. The lobster was amazing. We sat outside and there was a beautiful breeze so it wasn't too hot that day. read more

Luff's is the real deal. The seafood lovers in my family can never get enough of this place (and I do love the shrimp gumbo). But to be honest, I think the real stars are some are the outliers. First of all, brisket tacos are some of my favorite tacos ever (I know, it surprised me too) and I have been known to order them as my entree. The burger is also one of the best around, super juicy and extra perfect when ordered with an egg on it. The steak sandwich might be my fave though, extra thick and with a great balsamic glaze. The corn bread and key lime pie also deserve honorable mentions. The only thing that would make this place better would be to add some mocktail options to the drinks menu. Otherwise, no notes! read more

Wow, great meal!! We had a little bit of everything Tuna nachos were amazing fish dip. Great had some fish bites that were crunchy and delicious. Could definitely taste how fresh the fish is the mahi Reuben was spectacular. Thank you and can't wait to be back. read more

Not very good Very disappointing The pasta was not cooked properly We went because of all the positive references Overall the food was just disappointing read more

Very disappointing experience last night. The shared appetizeres were bland --tuna tacos and crab guacamole were both tasteless, with the guacamole loose and the crab seemingly just thrown on top. My snapper was dry and overcooked. Service was equally lacking: my friend asked about grilled shrimp (not on the menu), the server never followed up, and then unexpectedly brought out plain grilled shrimp with no sides. To top it off, the bill was $190 per couple (1 round of drinks)--completely unjustified for the poor food and lack of atmosphere. Would not return. read more

The best food, the best service by Nita who you can tell, takes great pride in what the Restaurant does and provides. The fish was just beyond delicious.! You should stop here and eat! read more

What a quaint spot with great food. My friend and I came here for dinner and it did not disappoint. I had the mahi Reuben and we split the Key Lime pie (which is as big as your head). All of it was delicious and generous in portions. Our waitress was quite lovely and made great recommendations. Will be back! read more

It's good! I would give it 5 stars but my portion to food cost ratio was a little off.... Very good service, and the food was really good, but it's hard to justify some of the prices, in my opinion. read more

I am not sure how anyone can give this place a bad review. The service was great, bartenders were nice, the food was delicious and the ambience was perfect for a south Florida dinner experience. The food also came out quickly. I never have scallops and they were as soft as pillows, the dish was delicious. Everyone at the table had fish and loved it. Everything was fresh. The key lime pie was not the best I've had but the marshmallow merengue was delicious. We will definitely return. read more

Seared scallops and crab fried rice were phenomenal. Everything was super fresh, and they had some fun drinks to choose from. Waiter wasn't super attentive but was very friendly. also the key like pie was good not great. needed to be colder and more key lime flavor. read more

What a find! We enjoyed a delicious lunch on the beautiful patio. I had the best fish (grouper) tacos I've ever had. Full of flavor and fresh ingredients. My drink we divine..."I'm Feeling Beachy" highly recommend!! Our waitress Nita was amazing! read more

Service is always great! We love sitting outside, its perfect being outside with the kids. Food is always delicious

Our party of five needed to eat outside because someone brought their dog. Our server, Natalie, immediately brought him a bowl of ice water and greeted us with a beautiful, friendly smile. She was very patient as I almost immediately decided what I wanted to eat, but everybody else was taking their time. When I inquired about the ingredients in a certain sauce, she whipped out an ingredient list for just about every dish on the menu. Welcome to Boca! From the valets to the bussers , to the manager, everyone was very friendly and greeted us sincerely. Once the food started to arrive, we began to question our restaurant selection. One gentleman in our party ordered the mussels, which were minuscule, and he commented that it tasted like they were served in Campbell's soup. His son ordered the Sriracha wings, and he was very pleased. His mother ordered the tuna nachos, and was not impressed. My husband ordered the grilled shrimp, which were also very tiny and unimpressive. Natalie was very kind in helping me choose a fish that I would be more happy with than the grouper, so she suggested the jack in the coconut curry sauce. It was served with rice. The sauce was very nice, but the fish was overcooked and extremely dry. The highlight of our entire meal was the famous Keylime pie! It was easy to split five ways and was delicious! Can't say that I would recommend this restaurant, because only one in five of us was happy with our entrée... And that was only an appetizer. If I was going to take a friend out for dessert, this would be the place, but I won't be back for dinner. Many props to Natalie for always having a smile on her face throughout our evening! read more

One thing that I learned growing up is never order swordfish at a restaurant unless you know they know how to cook it. Order it here! Everyone at our table of 6 got something different (I got the swordfish if you couldn't tell), and everything was great. The potatoes on the side were also excellent (as were the other sides). We started with buck-a-shuck oysters (every Monday) and ended with key lime pie. I highly recommend it all! Also, shoutout to Lily, our server for the excellent service. read more

We love going to Luff's on Mondays for their $1 oyster special. They feature several fresh local fish daily, which you can have grilled or blackened. Emma is a great server and always happy to accommodate our special request for sides. read more

We came back for round 2 and it did not disappoint. Wow to the fish bites. So fresh. The ribs were delicious. The tuna nachos were a flavorful must. The staff was very attentive. We were able to comfortably sit outside. We had the outstanding clam chowder again. The key lime pie was so flavorful and fed 4 of us. Again the prices are not cheap but the food and service is well worth it. It is a must try if you are in the area and love good fresh seafood. read more

Husband and I tried this place out as a belated Valentine's Day lunch. For starters we ordered brisket tacos and tuna nachos (or wontons?), portions are pretty large! Both tasted great. For entrees we both got lobster rolls which was loaded with lobster meat, they definitely don't skimp on the meat!! So delicious. We were so full we didn't have time to try their key lime pie but we will definitely be back read more

Luff's was highly recommended by some close friends so I decided to check it out. Emily was our server for the day in which she greeted us very promptly. She came off very stern and honestly sounded like she got called in and had no interest in being there. We ordered calamari and the oysters which were very tasty. I proceeded to order the lobster BLT and 'corn off the cob'. The lobster was very greasy, bacon was overcooked, and there was no flavor other than the sauce they put on the bun. The corn was described as elote and tasted like butter and cilantro. After eating, a young lady came to clear our table and asked "it wasn't good?" And I told her no. Nothing was done and I don't believe anyone was notified. Our server must of got lost because she was nowhere to be found after I table was cleared. It's not the best feeling looking around at an empty restaurant with almost 8 servers outside doing nothing and you can't find the one "taking care of you". All In all, not a great experience and this is probably my first and last time eating here. read more

Key West inspired seafood restaurant in Boca Raton near the beach. It is a beautifully lit place with outdoor seating and heaters in the winter. The service is quick and responsive. Everything we got was pretty good and reasonably priced for location, vibe and quality. We also got their oysters but ate them quickly and was not pictured. If you like key lime pie, it is a must! read more

Luff's Fish House - Lobster Quesadilla - Seafood Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

First, a preface: I've been coming to Luff's with my family since they opened their doors and the service, at first, was always tremendous and wonderful. My last few visits have been nothing short of abysmal - I, like many others, take advantage of the 1$ Oyster Mondays. The Mahi Reuben? Excellent. The Crab Balls? Out of this world. The oysters? Well... The last three weeks of frequenting Luff's have resulted in an absence of oysters - none to be sold and while this isn't a dealbreaker, the fact that the only other raw shellfish alternative being clams that are 3x the price of everywhere else starts to feel like a "bait and switch" Of course, not to make a scene, I quietly asked for the manager - a short, heavyset man with a receding hairline to confirm why the oysters have been in such short supply - a valid question, I thought - but no, I was met with brazen disrespect, dismissal and: "Get here earlier if you want oysters, I don't know what to tell you" -- you don't know what to tell me? You're a manager of a premier spot in Boca Raton and you don't know what to do? Here's a bit of advice from a fellow professional, your oysters are consistently out of stock? Either get your supply in order, take the promotion off the menu, or offer the ONLY OTHER ALTERNATIVE (raw clams) for a discounted rate. Very disgusted and disgruntled, a once amazing restaurant brought low by inadequate management - shame on you. read more

My wife and I stopped here for lunch while traveling. The service was fantastic. The decor on the inside of the restaurant is very vibrant and modern. The outside seating area is very comfortable they have fans pointing everywhere which is nice. We got the crab guacamole for an appetizer, the crab tasted very fresh and the guacamole was very light and easy to eat. For our entrees we got the lobster baconaisse and the magi mahi Rueben. The lobster baconaise was tasty big bun with a good portion of lobster and bacon. The mahi Rueben was served on pumpernickel bread and it was absolutely mouthwatering it was served with French fries. I would rate the Rueben a 10 star I've had a lot of mahi Rueben's and the pumpernickel really made it the fish was grilled and juicy with just the right amount of sauerkraut. We had a piece of key lime pie for desert it was really heavy big serving great presentation. All around the service was on point and the food was top notch would recommend. read more
