Was in town visiting family when this restaurant was suggested as a convenient yet very special dinner option. What a fantastic experience we had! The atmosphere in our diningroom was somewhat akin to almost a white-washed crab shack, yet sufficiently upscale and tastefuylly decorated that it was special. Our party of 4 started with 4 different cerviche samplings along with... More

The appetizers were excellent. They prepared the fish that were caught that day by a couple of people in our group. The fish entrees though were just average. One person ordered the rib eye and it looked amazing. Should have gone iwth the beef instead of fish.

Their food creations are amazing, not the usual stuff you can eat everywhere. And it is also nice that they concentrate on local fish. We really enjoyed our dinner there. But be aware that the portions are rather small, so it makes sense to take several courses. We also loved the atmosphere. The restaurant seems to be recently renovated and... More

Excellent food, especially the CRISPY WHOLE SNAPPER!! It was sooo delicious. Everyone from the hosts to the servers were very professional. A must to eat here if you are staying at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa.

Tarpon Bay is a great restaurant, very unique dishes leveraging lot of local flavors / spices. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, it was pricey but essentially what we expected for restaurant of that quality.

The servers try really hard, but are not very well trained in the details of good service. Management issue. That aside, the resort is amazing and the food is wonderful. They are very accommodating to special requests (split plates, substitutions) and the chef seems to be very eager to please.

We love the Hyatt and Tarpon Bay always adds to the great experience. Have been here several times over the years for romantic weekends as well for business conferences, and it has always been top notch. The atmosphere and service is great. I absolutely love their ceviche. My favorite is the Peruvian. YUM! You can make reservations and dine or... More

My wife and I went here one night and had the grilled Grouper and grilled Mahi. Superb! We had the same down in Keys the week before and this place is excellent.
