They gave us some hush puppies to start, and they were fantastic! Not too soft or crunchy, and not soaked in grease like I normally experience at other restaurants. They were moist, had a good flavor, and were served with a sweet butter on top.
We went during their Happy Hour and, from their discounted menu, purchased the Salmon dip, Prickly Pear Margarita, and a draft beer (I believe it was an Oktoberfest Pilsner). Between the two of us, the dip was more than enough. The margarita reminded me of one of my favorite margaritas served at the Busch Gardens Food and Wine Festival. Also, the Tajin rim not only added visual intrigue, but it paired well with the sweetness of the margarita!
Between the appetizer and drinks, that cost us about $21. In this economy, I thought the price was well worth what we received.
For our entrees, I had the Hellfire Shrimp Tacos. They had a kick, but they weren’t spicy just to be spicy. The flavors were balanced and felt very intentional. There was plenty of shrimp and toppings in each taco (comes with two), but not so much that I couldn’t eat it like a normal taco. Some places over fill your plate to compensate for the quality, but they served just the right amount of food for this dish. I couldn’t eat it all, but that’s because I’m a light eater.
I chose the Old Bay fries as my side and I was star struck! These are some of the best fries I’ve ever had! They’re quite big and you are served a heavy helping. The outside is perfectly crunchy, while the inside is soft and delectable. The only thing I will note is that some of the fries were way over seasoned, but that’s being a bit nitpicky.
My boyfriend ate the Fish and Chips. They also offered tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and malt vinegar to pair with the fish. The fries were the same cut and quality as mine except they were normally salted. They used Haddock which he thought was an excellent choice for the dish. It was flaky, juicy, and perfectly fried. The beer batter they used was delicious. The size of the fish was significant, so expect to bring home a to go box if you buy this.
Between the two entrees, our total was about $32, which I believe is a fair price for the quality and serving size. Between everything, we spent about $53.
The environment was lovely. I enjoyed the industrial feel intertwined with the oceanic decor. I’m 5’11” and plus sized, and I had plenty of legroom and space to sit comfortably. The space is very open and divided into a normal dining room, a more casual bar, and a covered outdoor eating area.
I didn’t get to explore the outdoor space, but at a glance, it was nicely decorated and would be perfect for aesthetic photos. The bar was cozy and had, I believe, three TVs playing different sports. The regular dining area had several tables that are capable of hosting large parties (they actually had a 20 person party and a 40 person party there while we were eating!). However, the room echoes, which may be something to consider if you are bringing someone who has any sort of sensory sensitivity. That’s the only reason I rated atmosphere at four stars.
The service was wonderful, though it took a bit longer because of those two very large parties. Actually one of the parties was supposed to be 20 people, but they changed it to 40 people last minute. Despite those challenges, our server was very attentive, personable, and our food/drinks arrived in good condition.
Above all of that though, my favorite element was a sign placed at our table introducing us to our waitress. It listed her name, hobbies, passions, and what her favorite menu item is. I love that!!
Overall, I would highly recommend Latitude Seafood for your next lunch or dinner outing!
Also, the 20% automatic gratuity only applies for tables of 6 guests or more which is perfectly reasonable to me. Sadly, too many people run waitresses to death and don’t tip!!
Our food was amazing as expected. It had been a while since my last visit so I knew what I wanted. The salmon dip is my favorite appetizer hands down but I always have to ask for extra chips. Everything came out fresh and was cooked perfectly. I love the fried shrimp entree as it’s so filling and you can’t go wrong with the sidewinder fries and Brussels. My boyfriend’s crab cake sandwich was the only thing I’d never tried and it was huge. Sean told us it was over 5 oz of crab meat and it didn’t disappoint. We all left full with leftovers so expect great food and great value !
