Sailfish Marina Resort - Restaurant in Palm Beach Shores - 98 Lake Dr, USA

Visiting family down in West Palm Beach and they suggested a nice lunch at Sailfish Marina. Wow. Excellent experience! Note if you come - valet only. Food was amazing, service was amazing! Walked the docks after lunch to admire the boats and water was so clear, tons of fish swimming around, kids loved it. Nice shop on premise as well. Definitely a place I want to come back to next time I'm here!

If we are just talking about service and atmosphere it’s a 5/5 star. If I was solely giving a rating on the food for the PRICE, it’s a 1 star. The Bloody Mary oyster shot from the start was to much vodka I couldn’t even taste the oyster. My family all got the New England clam chowder for an appetizer and was lacking flavor, they all had to add a lot of salt and pepper to have it taste decent. Then when it came to my meal I ordered the “Macadamia Grouper” it’s supposed to be a pan seared Grouper with encrusted macadamia nuts with a banana rum sauce. The fish was not pan seared. It was very soggy and if I had to guess it was a frozen fish with it encrusted already. Then they just heated it up and plopped it on a plate. We been coming to Sailfish Marina for dinner for years and the quality has gone down big time. Not sure if they can’t handle the overflow of customers and brought the quality of food down to keep up. That’s fine, but have lower prices that match the same level of food quality. If you charge higher end plates have higher end ingredients.

As many reviewers have noted, this is a great location with beautiful views, including great sunsets, weather permitting. Our waitress was great, very attentive and ready to answer questions. Good variety of cocktails, wine and beer, along with a good small plate and entree selections. We wanted to try a couple of things, so we went with the small plates. Entrees are expensive as you would expect with this location, but that comes with an expectation of quality ingredients and preparation. We got the ceviche, surf and turf flatbread and calamari. Mahi Ceviche was the highlight, although not a fan of the large tasteless crackers the calamari seemed like it was from a frozen package tossed in the fryer and overcooked. The $29 flatbread was also a disappointment. The small pieces of steak and even smaller what appeared the be ground up lobster meat was overpowered by too much Brie cheese. It was hard to discern the various ingredients, both visually and taste wise. Maybe the entree experience would be better, but that comes with a big price, so not sure I’d want to take that risk based on the small plates. View is just as nice from the Tiki bar and they do have a limited small plate menu there, so maybe we try that next time for the views and ambiance. Would also be a great after dinner drink stop as they have torches around the marina.

Meeting Lulu was an absolute delight. She took wonderful pictures of us and our friends, making our time together even more special. Her warm and welcoming presence added a perfect touch to the evening. Thank you so much!

Lulu took pictures of me and my family and she was very great so sweet when she came up to us. Her photos came out amazing and so beautiful. Love it and had a great time and she was a wonderful person to speak with.

Food although overpriced was excellent however the service was horrific. Server JD had attitude. No smile or welcome. Took order. Dropped off food and that was the last we saw of him. Never came by to ask how meal was or if we need beverage refills (which I did). Upon exiting 3 staff members stood by exit and not one asked how everything was. Didn’t even make eye contact. Given the exorbitant prices I expected excellent service. Service was abysmal. This has been a favorite of ours for nearly 20 years when vacationing in Palm Beach. Given the horrible service and overpriced meals we WON’T return. Too bad.

Horrible experience. The longest wait ever for an outdoor table on a very hot day. We were standing at the door for 30 minutes, servers and employees passed by but nobody acknowledged us. We had to literally chased the host and hostess all around the restaurant to get a table. They were unresponsive, dismissive and unwelcoming. We had to wait a lot for a table, for our order being taken and for the food being served.

Dinner was without a doubt..terrible. My husband had the short ribs which he enjoyed, unfortunately I was served the wrong dish and the server assured me my correct order would be just a few minutes. Twenty five minutes later I was served my dish which was inedible. The baked potato was cold the asparagus were undercooked and worst of all the stuffed lobster tail was in a word terrible. I dint eat the dish and when I asked for the manager she assured me she would adjust the bill. Well she took 50% of of my dish which as I said I didn’t eat. We will never go here again, and neither should you!
