Playa At Sportsman Marina

I would definitely go back again. The food was great. The appetizers were great we had deviled crab did it was 10/10. I had the seared tuna and it was very fresh but could have been a little more flavorful. The drinks were great. The staff was courteous and prompt. Excellent service. Nice ambiance and vibe. The interior was spacious and well lit. I’d go again now

We loved this place. They take reservations via open table. The food was amazing and the service was top notch! Highly recommend Anson. We ordered the crab toast, coconut shrimp, and coconut grouper! Would order all three again especially the coconut shrimp! Round 2 The food was absolutely terrific. We had the hook and cook and the chef prepared my red snapper, trigger fish, and vermilion snapper to perfection. Chef Rachel brought out the food and talked with us for a bit. The presentation was just gorgeous! The blackened was my favorite but the fried was also very delicious. Lou was our server and he did a fabulous job. I also ordered the oysters for an appetizer and they were very good. Playa never disappoints! Always amazing!!

Beautiful place to sit outside on the water and have drinks and chill. Good appetizers, plenty of seafood options too. The orange glazed ribs were great!

The food, service, and view at Playa at Sportsman Marina are quite nice. The downstairs dining, indoors or on the deck by the bay, is comfortable, clean, and inviting. The second floor, also with an open air deck, has great views of the Gulf, a private bar, and an indoor lounge. It 's almost always a great start when you find a place where their ingredients are sourced fresh from the Gulf Coast and that 's what they do here and it shows. They have a pleasantly eclectic number of tasty treats like the Cuban, fresh salads like avocado tomato, jerk shrimp, tuna poke bowl, tacos, steaks, burgers, ribs, and more with some local faves too. Like the Island Gulf shrimp, mahi sandwich, shrimp grits, crab toast, and coconut shrimp. I especially enjoyed my brunch selection this weekend, the Carnita Breakfast. It 's big chunks of smoky and well seasoned pork, over a bed of creamy sweet corn grits, really delicious fresh chimichurri (almost as good as mine : with eggs over and fire grilled tortillas, nice. I even started my meal with a street corn app, it was also well done. My honey said her mahi mahi was one of the best she 's ever had and with our delightful server, Sarah, and the lovely view, it was a most enjoyable dining experience. Added features: They do accept reservations, they do 'hook and cook ' which prepares your own fresh caught seafood, the entire restaurant is available for private parties of up to 300, plus they also do catering. The same folks that own Playa also run the fine restaurants, Fisher 's Upstairs Fisher 's Dockside. Bottom line: Far enough away from the beach to not cater to mostly tourists and more than good enough to make it a locals ' favorite. Good, food, service, atmosphere, and view, it 's the real deal for coastal dining. Highly recommended!!!!!

The view is fantastic! Tucked in a marine area, Playa sits beautifully on the water...the entrance is hidden but follow the ramp and then up the steps and voila! Inside or outside, the service is phenomenal! Went above and beyond to accommodate me. Food was really good. The oysters are a must! Definitely try the shrimp tacos and the bread pudding with peanut butter mousse! Oh so yummy! Definitely recommend!
