    Found this little hidden gem! Almost didn't want to leave a post because I don't want too many people to find this place. Fresh selection of seafood. Walk to the market and make your selection. Their chefs will prepare your seafood for you. Some of the best whole fish I have ever eaten, Pink Pargo! Fried yuca, yellow rice and house Sangria! Love this place right on the water and can't wait to come back again soon!

    Not what it used to be. Came on a Saturday the day before Mother’s Day 2022 and they only had 2 ladies working the front of house. All the tables had dirty dishes. We were patient but what made us get up and leave were two major factors, no one greeted us when we walked in and you can feel the tension in the place. Second, one of the ladies started cleaning the vacant tables instead of our table. Won’t be coming back here for a long time.

    If I could give this restaurant 0 starts I would ! I ordered the fish soup I was 7 months pregnant, the lady let me know that it didn’t bring fish bones and is safe.not even 3 mins into the soup and I was checking on a huge fish bone, i was very close to call the ambulance but I ended up being able to throw it up. The food is super over priced and I suggest you look at your bill good because the prices they advertise isn’t what they charge you. Worst place ever ! It should be shut down.

    Food was good and fish was fresh. We had two fish fillet, breaded and grilled. Portions are average. Menu is limited and pricy. If you're really hungry, order appetizers first. Main course took a while to get served. Margueritas were nice, on the rocks. They did not skimp on the alcohol. Place had a nice atmosphere, nicely decorated and clean. Lively latin music played in the background, at a volume where you could hold a conversation without struggling. Service was excellent. The outside seating offered a great waterfront dining. Parking is rudimentary, unpaved and unmarked. They also have a fish market. This place is like a hole in the wall, great option if you're looking for fresh fish.

    I came here by chance, and i really enjoyed the place, fresh seafood, the snapper was delicious and people very friendly. Good atmosphere with music. This is a happy place.

    This place just reopened. They should not have opened. They are nowhere near ready to open up. The bar was closed, there was a partial menu and the service was very slow. We ordered a small soup and it came out lukewarm. We told the manager and his response was yes, it should have been hot, then walked away. We ordered three orders of fish, and it literally took 50 min for the food to come. Service is horrible. The fried snapper was pretty good. Hopefully, the service will get better.

    At first we thought this was a great price until our bill came with hidden charges. The menu should have stated that you will be charged market and there will be an additional charge to cook your food. I think that $70.00 is too expensive of a charge to cook something that was bought at your establishment. There wasn't any seasoning on the fish and nothing was breaded. I would not recommend this place to anyone! Parking is horrible as well!

    The food is so fresh! Pick your fish and they'll cook to desire. Full bar and some nights they have a live band. I can't say enough about the food...we come often, but be prepared...it can be hot! No fans and outdoor dining only. Try the fish croquetas!!!!

    This restaurant is under renovation. I just found out when last weekend decided to take my old parents for lunch after checking this place online and clearly readying it was "open". I also called before leaving the house but nobody answered, they must be busy, I thought. We arrived, and the handyman welcomed me and was surprised to know the website says open. I would suggest update your website, add a notification about what is going on, and also a message letting us know when we call. Basic iniciatives to take, implement when you really care for others. Have respect for us they ones that put our money in your pocket.

    Authentic food, great service, good music. Watch out for iguanas and flies if you eat outside, though.😎

    Bad experience, very limited menu, worse I've seen in a seafood restaurant, went in for lunch end up having a beer (only 2 choices of beer) and shrimp cocktail (it is hard to mess that up) but the worse it is the super loud music, you couldn't hear yourself talk. Will not recommend will never go back

    Love the paella!! Always go to Sonia's just for the paella its AMAZING. They also have lots of things on the menu my this is my favorite!

  • 1/5 Annia C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place should be shut down. The food is very nasty, the waitress are very unprofessional, and the music is extremely loud that does not let you talk or hear. Also, if you tell the dj to lower the music a little bit he gets very angry. The fish is extremely salty and sickining. Also, The parking is very trashy and limited space. I punctured my oil pan getting in it. DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO COME HERE!

  • 5/5 Vicky P. 2 years ago on Google
    It is not an "elegant" restaurant. But, the place is very clean and the fish is DELICIOUS! Really, really fresh. And their fish croquettes are the best I have eaten in South Florida. Congrats! Keep the good work.

    The only reason I'm giving a star to this place is because that is the only way I can review it. This place was Terrible terrible!!! We had 11 oysters out of a dozen which were terrible and tasted like NOTHING like water. Then the service was also terrible we asked for sherna and they came back and told us they didnt have sherna fish and said we should get the whole fish we said okay. The fish never came after 40 minutes we decided to leave they charged us $30 for 6 beers and had to pay for the 3 terrible oysters we ate. We asked to speak to the owner Sonia a woman that was older and she was rude woman. She said we had to pay the whole price for the terrible food. Horrible horrible place and food. Will never return here again. This place SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN!!

👍👍 Second time coming to this grand place. Let me just say it does not disappoint. My girlfriend treated me to brunch for my birthday and I suggested coming here. Wow, what an amazing experience. We got here around 10:30am and got to sit down right away. Our waitress was the best. She suggested the mim...
