Love your salmon, I really do. But I really hate sitting on your dockside patio for 15 minutes waiting for one of your waitstaff to notice me and my girlfriend. This even as they passed by numerous times and made eye contact without acknowledging our presence.
And what is it with closing at 9 PM on a Sunday night? Seriously? This isn't Gainesville or Tallahassee or even Naples...we're in Fort Lauderdale where 20 miles down the road restaurants are open until the wee hours of the morning and less than a half mile down 15th Street, another great seafood place by the name of the Southport Raw Bar keeps their kitchen open until 1 AM.
No, Southport doesn't have valet parking. No, they don't have a pretentious upstairs where you get a wonderful view of the Intracoastal and the same piece of fish that you get dockside for twice the price. But Buddy and his staff know how to treat their customers.
And they also know that Yuengling is one word.

They don't treat their employees very nicely, so why should the customers be any different? Oh, the stories we could tell...
I've never been to this place ... it's the tarpon one we were talking about in that other thread, right?
Have you tried Pelican Landing across the way at Hyatt Pier 66? I love it there for sunset cocktails and bites. No issues with the service.
I believe the Marina itself closes at 9 p.m. -- maybe that's what determines the restaurant's hours? Although, Open Table will accept a 9:30 p.m. reservation for the Fisheries
Maria....tried Pelican's Landing tonight...excellent! Thanks a lot for the tip!

The way a company treats their employees is a big indicator of how they treat customers. The Fisheries is all about the money. Quality takes a backseat to profit at this place. Management can't be bothered to care and if an employee questions quality and integrity,they are fired for it. SouthPort is so much better!!
