Delicious options as always! Every single item our party of 8 ordered was fresh and flavorful without being too rich. The cornbread is a must, seared scallops were cooked to perfection and the fresh catches are consistently high quality with unique dishes (ahi tuna and amber jack last night). Save room for dessert!

Food was excellent. Had the shrimp and scallops entree. Our waiter, Tanner, was superb. Really can't say enough good about him. The room we were in, by the bar, was too noisy at times. Distracting! My hearing aids came in handy!!!

Service was good, seafood was perfectly cooked, but lacked taste. Seems like they are trying to incorporate too many flavors to justify high prices ($50 entree) & be fancy, but something is off. I had the flounder special - it had unnecessary micro greens on top & basil sauce, served over a pumpkin flavored polenta . I appreciate the effort, but it just didn’t work.

We have been going to Fat Snook for several years. We used to go for special occasions only. In recent months, we have started going every month, as some of the menus items are so delicious, we can't wait to enjoy them again. We try a seafood special every time and are delighted by how special each one is. Their Crab appetizer special has been to die for in recent months.

The service was great. Even though the food was good it was significantly overpriced for the area and what was included in the meal. $56 for a small piece of fish and $86 for a filet is excessive and far exceeds other restaurants in the area that offer more of a fine dining experience. The tables are very close and noise is a level expected of a bistro.

Very quaint restaurant with great food and service. Only disappointment was that the first 4 things I wanted to order, they had run out of. So I wound up ordering food that was not really a choice I would have made from both appetizers or main entree. That being said, had the corn bread and it was great. Had the creole shrimp and scallops which were great and husband had fish special which was also great. Wine and beer selection was large.

A terrific night at The Snook - beef hash, crab toast, a red snapper special that was creatively assembled and the best duck I've had there in maybe 10 years - it was fabulous! Tanner & Casey took care of us along with the rest of the staff stopping by constantly to make sure our wine and water glasses were full. Oh also must try their chocolate cake with salty caramel sauce - so good!

We were talked into a Father's Day special for two but the waitress neglected to tell us it was $180, which was substantially overpriced compared to the rest of their menu. The steak was delicious but the potatoes were undercooked. The chocolate tort was so dry my wife wouldn't even finish it. Also be aware they only serve wine and beer...at the prices they are charging you'd expect they'd be able to afford a liquor license. Finally, on top of the $42 tip they also had a line item for giving the kitchen an additional tip. They are charging 5 star restaurant prices and the experience in my opinion was not up to par.

Another 10/10 dining experience at the Fat Snook. My husband and I enjoyed the crab special of delicious crab spring rolls, shared the Caribbean cornbread (must order!) for entrees I ordered the duck breast and he had the fresh catch grouper special - both were fantastic. We shared the chocolate cake with chai ice cream for dessert and I could have devoured many more scoops of the ice cream; it was phenomenal. the service was impeccable start to finish. The host was gracious enough to receipt us from our original outside table to one indoors after the bugs became a little too aggressive. Our server DJ was friendly, helpful, and made really good suggestions. We definitely recommend visiting the fat snook anytime you are in the area!
