Seafood Atlantic — Restaurant in Cape Canaveral

In the sea of overpriced seafood restaurants catering to tourists in the Port Canaveral area, Seafood Atlantic certainly stands out.

Food: I started with some peel-and-eat rock shrimp appetizer (~$10). They were cooked perfectly and I opted for them to throw some Old Bay seasoning on it. For the main course, I chose the fish dinner with grouper, seasoned with their Caribbean sauce. I thought the fish was slightly overcooked, but the sauce was excellent and went well with the grouper. The meal also came with a choice of salad or soup and I opted for their crab and vegetable soup, which was delicious. The $23 price tag on it was a bit more than what I'd prefer to pay for what I got, but the cost was on par with what's offered in this area.

Service: Amazing service. The staff was very friendly and helpful in providing food recommendations. My appetizer was sent out to me almost immediately and my meal followed shortly after. My waitress and I had an unspoken race to see if I could empty my cup of sweet tea before she came to fill it up. She won.

Atmosphere: The restaurant part of Seafood Atlantic is all outdoors. It's right next to the water, so despite the hot Florida weather, there always seems to be a nice breeze going on. You can sit along the water to watch the different boats and cruise ships sail off. The times I ate here, the restaurants nearby all seemed to be loud and crowded but Seafood Atlantic had only a handful of tables filled. So it's a more peaceful alternative to its neighbors.

Bottom line: Seafood Atlantic is a solid choice if you're visiting the Port Canaveral area. Definitely...

When we arrived I informed the hostess that we had a reservation for three people at 6pm. She asked me my name and I gave it to her. She informed me that I didn’t have a reservation. I checked my phone and verified the phone number with her of which she gave me attitude and wouldn’t tell me the number. Another woman had come over by that point and insisted I did not have a reservation. I showed her my phone and she asked what time did I call and I said at 3:23pm. They both were yelling at me that it was impossible that I called because they stop taking reservations at 1pm. I told them I spoke with a gentleman who took my reservation. Again they both kept yelling me that I did not have a reservation. The second lady walked away as the first lady continued to yell at me. Then the lady who walked away came back and said “oh she does have a reservation it’s written in the book, I accidentally highlighted it and wrote oops on it. I remember who took that reservation.” They apologized for the mix up, but not for how rude they were and certainly not for yelling at me. As far as the food was concerned, it was decent, not as great as stated in other reviews. The clam chowder was okay, but not worth the $10. The fish tacos were okay as well. The swordfish was good, except the wild rice should be in a separate bowl so it doesn’t wet the bottom of the fish. The service was good. The server...

Dined here yesterday for lunch for my birthday. We were sadly disappointed. Yes, the fish is fresh. I will give them that and that is where the good review stops. The prices are off the wall expensive. They are prices you would expect in a very upscale restaurant and not sitting outside on plastic furniture with tasteless coleslaw served in small plastic containers. I was hoping for lobster, but when I saw the price of $64, I backed off, and I am glad I did, as I most probably would have been disappointed, as everything ordered was disappointing, except for the freshness. I ordered fresh mahi sandwich without bread and I was given a very small portion of mahi with coleslaw with no dressing or flavor in plastic with a pickle for $22! That was it! Platters were $30 and up! Everything was bland and just thrown into plastic baskets. My husband had fish tacos and the side chips were all broken pieces. It truly hurt to pay the check when it came. We could have eaten at a much nicer place with real dishes and no plastic and food that was presented better with more seasoning. Atlantic Seafood, for those prices, you can and need to do a lot better! PS My husband told the server it was my birthday, and he did not say anything. Just...
