Deep Lagoon Seafood and Oyster House — Restaurant in Marco Island

We went there with high expectations. Started the meal with some oysters which were fine. The New England clam chowder had a good amount of clams but the soup had a peculiar seasoning in it, that in all my years I had never experienced in clam chowder and I am from New England. The chowder was a disappointment.The clam rangoons were good. One of our meals was the Seafood Diablo...had a fair amount of seafood, the pasta was way over done to the point of mushy. I expected some heat from the Diablo and there was very little. I could not find any red pepper flakes. Another of our meals was the Grouper Oscar...the fish was flakey, the rice over cooked; so that it just all stuck together. I do not know what was wrong with the asparagus but I could not cut any of it with my knife. I have never tasted Hollandaise sauce like I had tonight and I hope I never do again.The Oscar part of the meal looked like they opened up a can of crab and blooped it on top of the sauce. We had reservations at 7 and did not get our main meal until 8:30. By the time the waitress came to see how our meals were I was done and told her how much the meal disappointed me. She offered to bring me some green beans but it was a bigger issue than that. She said her manager would take off the meal which it was not on our bill, I was surprised the manager did not come to the table and ask how the food was and apologize. We will never go back there or...

We came here for lunch on a Saturday. We were in town from Miami for a wedding that night. There were 4 of us.

The location is great! The restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. The menu is pretty big with lots of options! It’s not cheap and your bill can add up quickly!

Parking was very easy, and free. We walked from the parking garage through the small mall full of cute shops and boutiques (be sure to take time to visit them). We were sat outside immediately. We ordered three key lime pie martinis and an aperole spritzer. The martinis were SO GOOD!!! I accidentally spilled mine halfway through and ordered a second one.

For appetizers the waitress suggested the coconut shrimp (there are only 4 pieces) and the crab Rangoon, which is their most popular appetizer. Both were very good!

For lunch I ordered the blackened mahi on a Cesar salad. The Cesar salad was ok. Definitely not the best Cesar dressing I’ve had. They could improve on that. The fish was great though! One of my friends ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus. She really enjoyed it. Another friend ordered the yellowtail tuna with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. She also loved hers.

The location is great. It’s quiet, beautiful, serene and calming. I love eating on the water. They have fans and umbrellas to keep you cool on hot days. It was a very enjoyable experience. I would love to return again and try some...

If I could give our server, Marijana, a rating of more than 5 stars, I would. She was so pleasant, welcoming, attentive, accommodating, and friendly. She made our dining experience even more wonderful than it already was. There were 8 in our party for the evening before Easter Sunday. We initially reserved a table indoors, but the weather was so perfect, we all decided al fresco was the way to go. My 2 year old great-granddaughter was enamored with the surroundings, "I see the boats!", and of course, the fountain in the courtyard. My husband and I shared the Chicken Caprese Salad as an appetizer. It was a generous portion, and the chicken was flavorful, and tender, and just perfect for us to share. My son-in-law recommended hogfish, so I ordered the Hogfish Lagoon Style. It was so light, and melt-in-your-mouth, and mixed with all the other flavors, it was incredible, and the butter whipped mashed potatoes were a pleasant surprise. My husband had the Chicken Marsala which he completely enjoyed. Overall, it was a beautiful dinner and dining experience, and we would would highly recommend Deep Lagoon to anyone. Our only regret is we don't live closer. We're 3 hours away, but look forward to visiting...
