Now regarding the food, the menu had a variety of options from seafood, burgers, steaks, to chicken wings. During my visit I tried the Seafood Pot Pie, Calamari, Bacon Wrapped Scallops, Stuffed Mushrooms, Chicken Wings, Hush Puppies, and Seafood Pasta. I've been to and reviewed a lot of places, and honestly there was nothing here that impressed me. NOTHING was flavorful, everything ordered was bland. And actually experienced some awful freeze tasted calamari. Unfortunately 3 members of the party of 16 ended up sick either stomachache and frequent bathroom trips.

HOLY COW. Spanish River Grill!…read more This NSB gem is truly amazing. I had multiple friends recommend for dinner and everyone agreed it's one of their favorites in town. Well, they were 100% right and I was blown away. Our table of 5 ordered some serious goodies - I just wish we could have eaten more so we could have tried everything on the menu. The bacon wrapped dates were some of the best I've ever had. The whipped cheese with honey was insanely good. The chicken entree was wild -- so tender and flavorful and the potatoes were to die for. We ordered dessert and it was so good and went so fast that we actually ordered a second cake. The food came out super fast and our server was awesome. The restaurant is very low key but nice, nothing stuffy or too casual. I honestly was so surprised but so happy with the experience. Come one, come all, and enjoy your feast!

We all arrived and was greeted with the utmost of respect, professionalism and speedy service. One would think that they were expecting us. We took up all of the dining/bar seating and the staff handled that with stride. I decided to try the crispy fried fish dish which included succulent corn on the cob, and perfectly made Cole slaw. That meal was to die for. Everything was fresh, nicely prepared and the taste was out of this world. Others had smoked oysters, crab legs, calamari, crayfish just to name a few items that were offered from the menu. Everyone was excited and overly pleased with their meal of choice. The staff members were superb. They were friendly, attentive, helpful and did I mention speedy with our food delivery. They spoiled us all. ​​The atmosphere was comfortably welcoming, clean without the strong fishy odor some seafood restaurant have. That smoked fish, which was provided to us as a "sampler" was simply wonderful. This place could easily conform me into becoming a sea food lover. If ever we're back in New Smyrna again, we know exactly where we'll be eating lunch/dinner....hands down. Thank you for the service and the good food, Kansas City MO. signing out

Picketts has completely renovated the space, very clean, nice bar area and seating area. I was greeted by the bartender when I walked in. Ordered the fish sandwich and clam chowder to go. Bartender was very polite, talked about the location, speciality dips, market and spoke of the family who owned the location. I saw a review about the prices. Like much of the New Smyrna restaurant scene, this place isn't cheap but the portions were very big and the quality matched the price in my opinion. I split the fish sandwich with my wife (I'm 6'3 200 pounds, not going to disclose her weight lol) and I was full after. My wife remarked the fish sandwich tasted similar to Hillstones fish sandwich in Orlando (IYKYK). Overall a good experience, coming back in a week to buy some dips and fish from the market.

Don't let the outside fool you - this is a great local seafood restaurant…read moreAfter finishing the Turtle Mound River Tour, two different couples on our boat recommended that we try the Boston Fish House in New Smyrna Beach. We decided to take their advice, and we're glad we did. From the outside, the building looks a little worn and easy to overlook, but don't let that fool you. Once inside, we found what appears to be one of those local restaurants where people come because they know the food is consistently good. There seemed to be parking and entrances on two sides of the restaurant, making it easy to get in and out. Inside, there was a good mix of booths and tables, and everything was clean and well maintained. One thing that caught my eye was the collection of license plates decorating the walls, which gave the restaurant a relaxed, casual atmosphere. The menu is centered around seafood, as you would expect, but there are enough non-seafood choices that just about everyone should be able to find something they like. I ordered the chicken sandwich while my partner had the shrimp with onion rings. Both meals came out quickly, the amount of food was generous, and everything was delicious. The hostess greeted us and took our preference of a booth and seated us. Our waitress was friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the meal. Our total bill for the two of us was about $45, which I thought was very reasonable considering the quality of the food, the excellent service, and the pleasant atmosphere. Overall, this turned out to be an excellent recommendation, and we're glad we listened. If you're in the New Smyrna Beach area and looking for a good meal, don't judge this place by its appearance. It's well worth the stop. Enjoy!

Great Spot for a Casual Seafood Lunch!…read more I went here for a late birthday lunch with my partner because we were hungry for seafood Our waitress was super friendly, and the service was excellent from start to finish. We were seated in a cozy booth, and I immediately noticed the fun decor--tons of license plates from different states, some with funny names or messages. It added a quirky, welcoming vibe that we really enjoyed. The atmosphere was good, but not too loud. I started with the clam chowder, and my partner had the lobster bisque--both were absolutely delicious. My chowder had a generous amount of fresh clams and was rich and flavorful, but it wasn't heavy fo my stomach. For my main dish, I had the blackened white fish with coleslaw and fried sweet potato. The lemon was the perfect touch on the fish, the coleslaw was super fresh, and the sweet potato fries were crispy and satisfying. Overall, we had a great time. I'd definitely recommend this place.

When we sat down on the patio overlooking the water, there was ample seating so we got to choose a booth. The service from our waiter was fantastic and he gave some good recommendations after we asked him a couple of questions about the menu. Also, the prices were fair for lunch and we both ordered a cocktail. I gotta my old faithful, a Painkiller and it was perfect. My sandwich came and I couldn't believe how huge the portion size was in front of me. I was so hungry I ate it all and it was delicious. We shared hush puppies and they were good but nothing extraordinary. Unfortunately, my daughter's food was not great. Her crabcake was dry and mostly filling. We're from Maryland so we laughed about how she should've known better. I'd definitely return if in the area for the views, service, and happy hour.
