Restaurants near Blue Dolphin

We love this restaurant. From the owners to the staff what an amazing and fun experience every time we have dinner. My wife loves the oysters and for her entree she orders the grouper special. Amazing. I order steak and mashed potatoes along with the scallop appetizer and a dozen of the best oysters you can eat. This place never disappoints. Must try

Positively outstanding experience from start to finish. Booked the reservation on Open Table and noted that we were celebrating our anniversary. Upon arrival it was obvious that the staff was aware of our celebration and took every opportunity to make the evening special. Our server, Natasha, was attentive, extremely knowledgeable of the dishes, the ingredient sourcing and paring reccomendations. We enjoyed every course and found the roasted squash appetizer to be a stand out suprise. The seafood dishes were prepared by chefs that know seafood. By the time desert was served it was hard to keep going,but the chocolate ganash with salted caramel gelato was just too tempting to put the fork down. Looking forward to our next visit.

Wonderful dining experience. We’ve been coming to the Surfside beach area for years and I have no idea why we never stumbled across this restaurant. We will definitely return. Our server was fantastic and we had a wonderful conversation with Jason, ( operating partner). I mean, you feel like you had been there as a customer for years and it was our first time. We dined on the hush puppies, shrimp, and grits and fried scallops. Food was absolutely delicious. You could tell that the ingredients were sourced locally and very fresh. I’m not a huge fried food eater, and the scallops were absolutely divine. The coating on them was not heavy or greasy. It was just almost barely detectable that they were fried. They were so juicy and tender on the inside. The ambience looking out over the marsh was gorgeous as we watched the sun go down. Really looking forward to returning.

Welcomed and seated before our reservation time. Friendly staff and amazing food. Our server, CeCe, was very personable and recommended dishes. We had the Lobster Pasta and Cobia dish. Highly recommend

Wonderful food and service. Have dined here many times and am never disappointed. Have several favorites especially the appetizer muscles in white wine sauce, chicken parmigiana, calamari appetizer to name a few. Our server Chandler was perfect. Chris the manager is wonderful as well.
