    I came in for lunch for their special Bite 40 menu. I had the mussels for the first time. This was the best starter ever! They were cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing. For my main I chose the shrimp & flounder combo. Fried to perfection & came with 2 sides and their delicious hush puppies. Always get the grits! My server was fantastic. She came to our table and checked on us frequently and was so personable. I also loved meeting chef Mike & the two fabulous women who run this place! They are participating in magical dining & I cannot wait to go back and support my favorite locally owned & operated seafood place.

    All I can write is Wowwww!! If you love seafood- this is the best place to go! I enjoyed everything from the greeting of the hostesses, the service, drinks, food and the decor! The decor is a throwback and feels like a fish shanty in the best way, The fish dip, lobster mac and hush puppies were so fresh and flavorful... i am drooling just thinking about it. The bananas foster martini is a dessert in a glass and taste great with the saltiness of the seafood. Service was friendly and prompt. I don't live in that area but would absolutely make the drive there for seafood and suggest it anyone.

    The restaurant.

    My favorite spot !!! Don't walk but fun and go check this place outside of Orlando!! Ask for Noelle she is the best at her job!! She always welcomes us with a warm smile and great service. The Lobster roll is everything moist and tender Sweet lobster!! Thanks Nancy and Mike for always making our seafood meal journey complete when in town.

    The Nauti Lobstah is a super yummy place to eat. My family and I went for Bite 30 during lunchtime. It was amazing and so delicious. Started with the clam chowder and clam cakes. Both were fantastic and loaded with fresh clams. I had the shrimp and flounder fried with three Hushpuppies and two sides, coleslaw and cheese grits. Everything was amazing and came with huge portions. For dessert I had the key lime pie with strawberry drizzle and chocolate straws. The service was fantastic. The ambiance was very pleasant and welcoming. They even turned the train on so we could watch it travel the perimeter of the front dining room area. I recommend eating here for Bite30 or whenever you have a desire for fresh seafood, this is your place to enjoy it.

    Ive lived in this area for a while and I've driven by this place many of times. I decided with friends to try this place out for Bite 30! Seafood dip , chef's kiss. I think this is a meal not an appetizer. Their hush puppies, I could order and eat by themselves. The type of Fish I didn't particularly like but the shrimp were breaded well and tasted great. Cocktail sauce tasted home made. Service was a good, at times it was a little slow but the manager came and she asked us if we needed anything. She stood right in to help her staff. A great environment for a first date because it's very quaint. The bar is small so don't think you gonna sit down if you show up at a busy time. Overall, great experience. I do want to try their lobster items. Will be back

    STRAWBERRY MOOUSE - must try!
    Vanessa R.

    Amazing food and wonderful staff! We tried the clam chowder and lobster bisque, and both were delicious. The lobster bisque was made with sherry wine, which gave it such a unique, rich flavor. The fish and chips were absolutely to die for. It is on the pricier side, but honestly worth it. Their dill tartar sauce was a standout too, and I'm usually not even a tartar sauce person. The remoulade sauce was also really good. We also had the mac and cheese, which had great flavor and a rich, creamy base. I liked the seasoning and the seafood-style comfort food feel of it, but it was a little too oily for me. After a few bites, the oiliness started to overpower the cheese and made it feel heavier than expected. That was really my only critique, because the taste itself was good and it definitely had potential. For dessert, we had the strawberry mousse, and it was perfect. Light, sweet, and such a good way to end the meal. Overall, this is a great seafood spot with memorable flavors, friendly staff, and dishes I'd absolutely come back for!

    Grouper nuggets / not Florida style.

    Drove a considerable distance to go here on a fairly busy day. The customers are mostly locals and parking lot is cramped. Food portions are on the smaller side while prices are steep. Taste is not extraordinary but presentation is good. Seating is comfortable and spacious. Services is very hospitable and accommodating. Unfortunately you could leave here hungry.

    Lobster!

    Food, quantity, service and atmosphere-OUTSTANDING! Thank you for a great lunch and being you June winner! Just like New England! Wow!

    We've seen reviews and videos about this restaurant and made a point to make our way there during our Florida vacation. Amazing dining experience!!! You can't make reservations and we were lucky that there was no wait time when we got there. Our server Noelle greeted us as soon as we were seated. She was an additional highlight to our visit for her warmth and friendly personality. We started with the clam cakes and stuffies and both were delicious. The super highlight of our visit was the 2 foot lobster roll. My partner added 1/2 lb of lobster to our order as he (and we) love lobster. What we got was a Wow experience from the time they brought it in - my mother was pure smiles and that was before we tasted it. We went with half New England and half Connecticut style. Absolutely the best lobster roll I've ever had and I've had many living in New England most of my life. This was an absolutely delightful experience. We couldn't finish the roll between the 3 of us and had great leftovers for dinner. The place is busy and you hear the sounds of people talking and enjoying their meals. We even got to meet Chef Mike and what a pleasant person he is. A total unforgettable dining experience that I'd like to repeat someday.

    Kept hearing some much about this place on social media. So we d cider to try it out. It's the old catfish place and they honor them still with some items in the menu. The wait was not too long at all. Inside it's like being in a fishing shack. I got the New England lobster roll and a side of hush puppies. The lobster was large pieces and so good. She got the shrimp "a la bob" from the old menu, with sweet potato casserole and green bean casserole. All around a very good experience

    Shrimp linguine
    Yasi P.

    Went to dinner with friends and it was our first time. I've only early heard amazing things about this restaurant so we were excited to try it. I ordered the shrimp linguini and is was phenomenal. It tasted so fresh ! The ambiance was casual nautical and service was great! Super helpful waitress ! It's a bit of a drive for us but well worth it !

    This place had been winning awards for years now, and I wanted to go so bad, but I just never am out in this part of town. Well I found a couple of other activities to pair with a nice lunch in Apopka. So we stopped in and finally got to see what all the fuss was all about. Ambiance was themed very well. New England nautical. Old school, like you were sitting in a restaurants from the 80's. Very fun, warm, and inviting. And also all of the blank spaces off the sidewalk were full of oyster shells, which was a very nice touch. Service was top notch. Our server was top notch professional, made sure our glasses were always full, and new the menu very well to help us decide exactly what to get. The food itself was really nice. Everything we had was delicious. Let's get into it. We ate way too much food this day. We started off with a couple of apps. New England Clam Chowdah (Chef Mike's secret clam chowder recipe [Add (3) Famous Rhode Island Clam Cakes]). This was a very nice chowder, not too creamy, very well seasoned, and you have to add on the clam cakes as a dipper. This chowder yearns to be dipped into. Very pervasive clam flavor throughout the cake. A nice little fritter. Crab Stuffed Mushrooms (Crab stuffed mushrooms, served with Hollandaise sauce drizzle and lemon wedge). Unctuous. Very nice sized shrooms stuffed to the brim with the crab mixture and broiled to a perfect crisp. Wowwy wow. So good. Onto the main event, the Connecticut Lobstah Roll (Warm fresh Maine lobster piled on Crisp Bibb Lettuce on toasted New England brioche Roll, served with warm butter). Perfectly tender lobster, and really more of it than I thought I would get. A roll that was strong, soft, and ultra buttery, all with even more butter for dipping. The epitome of indulgence, served with some of the finest, crispiest homemade potato chips you'll find in all of Orlando. So good. Fisherman's Platter (Fried Boneless Catfish, Clam Strips, Shrimp, New Bedford Sea Scallops). I know frying seafood isn't how you can most skillfully cook it, but there is absolutely a wrong, lazy way to do it. Nauti did it correctly. Catfish, delicate breading, super moist and juicy within, well seasoned. Nice. Clam strips, made extra fun with extra crackling breading a la old Captain D's cracklings. Shrimp of a decent size, not oily, popped right out of the tails. And the scallops were cooked just as well as if they were seared by Gordon Ramsay. So delicate and delicious. A few notes on the sides. The Hush Puppies were absolutely terrible. They were simply overcooked. A few of the chips suffered the same fate. But the Sweet Potato Casserole was one of the best I've ever had. They used puffed rice cereal for texture and wow, it was very fun and yummy. Overall, the hype was real, and this place was worth the wait. It's so rare to find good seafood in the Orlando area, but this is one of the few places I was happy to find. I'd love to come back one day.

I regularly go to…read moreseafood distributors and buy raw oysters to shuck at homes, and I'll do the Whole Foods Friday oyster deals too, and I consistently find that Bruno's has a selection that nobody else does. I'm not sure who their distributor is, but they're doing an excellent job! The fresh horseradish, mignonette, and crackers are always a great pairing, and those crackers are still so incredibly buttery. Sad to say that I'm bumping this place down to 2 stars only because we visited on a Thursday after seeing on their instagram that they did happy hour $30/dozen on Wednesday and Thursday (posted on February 2nd, and in their instagram bio) only to be charged full price.

The surrounding area just adds to it, great town, great people, and an all-around awesome scene.
