  Our waiter was amazing!!! We ordered the shrimp appetizer and it was extremely salty. I ordered the shrimp & scallops entree. The shrimp on the entree was great but the scallops were so salty they were nearly unbearable. My husband ordered the pork chop, it was very tender but the sauce was again, very salty. I started to say something to the waiter but I had read through a ton of the reviews before we selected this restaurant and many of the reviews stated that the Chef got highly upset when someone complained so I decided to leave it alone. Next time, I'll listen to what our "local" driver suggests.

  Ein stylisch geschmackvoll hergerichteter Diner empfing uns ebenso wie ein überaus freundlicher Service. Doch das ist alles Nebensächlich! Ich habe hier einen der besten Fischgerichte und Kompositionen essen dürfen, die ich je gegessen habe: von der Art des Anrichten, der Qualität und Frische, des Geschmacks, der feinen Würze. Ein perfektes Risotto, der schneeweiße Grouper auf den Punkt gegart, die Sauce ein Traum. Einfach gesagt: ich bin immer noch begeistert, wie schon lange nicht mehr ! Danke an den Mad Fish Chef und Team!

  My family and I visited this restaurant while we were on vacation in St. Petersburg and we were very impressed. Don't let the old school diner esthetic fool you, this place has some incredible food. We can only speak about the fish since that is what we ordered but it was the best fish we've had all weekend here in St. Pete. From the presentation to the flavor, every aspect of the meal was incredible. Me and my wife ended our meal with a couple of americanos that were fresh and also a good ending to an already amazing experience. We will definitely be coming back every time we visit St. Pete.

  I think the snapper tried to warn me about the tide! Listen, I knew I was in for a ride the moment I stepped into Mad Fish. First off, let’s talk about the seafood freshness. I ordered the American Snapper, and I am 90% sure that fish was having a personal conversation with the chef three minutes before it hit my plate. It was so fresh I half-expected it to look up from its bed of butternut squash risotto and give me tomorrow’s weather forecast. I took one bite of the local catch in the Thai Seafood curry and could swear I heard sea gulls squawking in high-definition. We started with "The Mad Tower" raw bar setup. Calling it a "tower" is an understatement; it's a structural engineering marvel stacked with oysters, clams, shrimp, mussels, and lobster tail. The Gulf ceviche was so pristine it felt less like eating dinner and more like getting baptized by the ocean itself. My partner got the Napoleon II—a glorious heap of pappardelle, Gulf shrimp, scallops, and lump lobster meat tossed in Cognac garlic cream sauce. It was so rich and indulgent that Napoleon Bonaparte himself would have delayed an invasion just to finish the bowl. Meanwhile, someone at the next table ordered the Chateaubriand Experience for Two, and when that 24oz tenderloin hit their table with the hand-cut potato wedges, the entire dining room collectively gasped. Even the sides went hard—the flash-fried Brussels sprouts with ponzu, hazelnuts, and caramelized pears were absurdly good. If you want frozen fish that died during the previous administration, go somewhere else. If you want seafood so ocean-fresh it practically slaps you with a wave when you take a bite, get down to Gulf Blvd immediately. Just bring your appetite (and maybe a life jacket). 10/10!
