Miles took great care of us, as usual. Onion-crusted catch of the day with fried spinach and grits were outstanding.

My wife and I shared a Caesar salad which was very good, I had the swordfish which I didn't enjoy ( I wasn't expecting it to be breaded and fried) I am not sure what else is fried in that oil or what type of oil was used but I didn't enjoy the taste.the server did ask if I wanted anything else but I turned down the offer .My wife loved her scallops. We both agreed the entree dishes were lacking for the price point charged ( the three beans and a couple of spinach leaves that were part of the entree didn't cut it) for me and the table next to us also questioned the server regarding this with her branzino dish. One suggestion as well would be to use table cloths or provide side plates to rest the cutlery on instead of placing them on the wood table top. This was a Birthday dinner for my wife and the hostess did wish her a Happy Birthday but that was the only acknowledgement so I am not sure why when making a reservation they ask if it's a special occasion?

We visited Lake Mary for a weekend and wanted to have good seafood, and this place was consistently recommend both by locals and reviews online. The food was amazing, our waiter was very knowledgeable and kind, and the overall experience was by far on of the best we’ve had at a restaurant, period. It’s a bit pricey, but well worth it for the flavor, proportions of food, and quality of service!

Three people ordered the tuna with white beans and it was perfectly prepared as requested. The sauce was amazing. The fish was over salted so next time I would ask for a light hand on the salt. Blue Gill is a favorite!
