Flying Bridge Fish Deck — Restaurant in Saint Pete Beach

Excellent, friendly, happy service. Our server, Rich, made suggestions that were spot on! The appetizer skewer of 10 grilled shrimp was plenty for me for lunch along with a shared order of French fries. The shrimp were nicely seasoned, cooked just right and came with a tasty mango curry dipping sauce. The fries were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and served hot from the kitchen, just perfect. My husband ordered the fish tacos which are made with talapia but Rich suggested ordering the fresh grouper. So glad he did! The chunks of grouper in the tacos was plentiful and delicious. It is served with chips, but the order of fries we shared was a better choice. I enjoyed a "big girl" Bahama Mama. Fruity, with enough rum, expensive but HUGE and worth it. Served in a souvenir cup to refill. Some non-alcoholic beverages you can get for a buck if you bring your cup back.

Sitting outside just off the beach in the Florida sunshine under umbrelled tables...not much more to want for afternoon lunch atmosphere. It's near to perfect...

I would never recommend this establishment for food. We knew to expect higher pricing at resort restaurants and also generally higher pricing post COVID, but don't expect that to include unservable food. We shared a fried grouper sandwich for $31. We were served 8-10 oz of fish on a standard low quality hamburger bun with soggy Ruffles potato chips as the side. Not only is it appalling to me that anyone would even consider placing bagged potato chips on a $31 plate, but the fish was far from fresh. It tasted like 3-4 day old fish that hadn't been stored properly. As if it hadn't been stored at a consistent and/or correct temperature. We're among those that fear sending a meal back because who knows what they'll send next. I am shocked we did not fall ill from eating that incredibly disgusting unservable fish. The drinks were also over priced but tasty. The service wasn't bad. The quality of the food explains why the locals, including some resort employees, recommend dining at off resort...

When I saw the menu I was really excited to try this for my birthday dinner! Sadly, the service was absolutely awful. We waited probably 20-30 minutes until someone greeted us, then it was another hour until our food came out, and then we didn’t get our check until 40 minutes after we were finished. We re-filled our own drinks from a container near the bar all night. I wanted to drink for my birthday, but I only saw the server enough to get the initial drink before the meal came. After that, I had to refill my own water from the container.

It didn’t look like they were under-staffed. It just looked like they were used to not hustling. Our server was super nice… but there was one problem we saw…

Sections were too big and they couldn’t handle the volume of them. For my birthday dinner - honestly - I’m so disappointed.

For the chef - it was great. Not one complaint from us.

I wish there was a manager...
