    Overall, we were very pleased with our meal and service at the Paddlefish. The view we had overlooked the water with the Rainforest Cafe on the opposite side. Our server was excellent! Would return.

    The service, taste of the food and overall atmosphere was great. However, after dinner, and eating responsibly (I.e. not overeating), our entire party went into a 2 hour food coma. Suspect it was the use of MSG to enhance the flavoring. When we woke up, we were all extremely thirsty (indicative of high salt content and MSG). Sadly, although we loved the food, we will not be back.

    First time for me to eat here. We came to celebrate my birthday with some friends. From our table by a window overlooking the water, to our server Tony, to the bread, to the caprese salad along with my Swordfish served over couscous, and the complimentary dessert for my birthday… it was ALL amazing! We will definitely be back! And the cosmopolitans were very good to complete our celebration 🍸🎂

    We ordered the calamari which was delicious and as entrees the stuff cod and the crab cake sandwich. Both were delicious. The staff was friendly and environment was quiet and water view was very nice!
