Only the second time visiting. My fiancée is vegan and its difficult to take her places that have anything for her. She loved the Buda Bowl with tofu. Went with friends and loved everything about our visit. We will be back soon!

Very unusual but some of our dinners came out cold. It was decided not to send them back because it was so busy and we were afraid they would come back dried out.

This is one of my favorite restaurants whenever we come to Tampa, which is once or twice a year. We particularly come for the hog fish which I found to be a little overcooked and disappointing this year. They were extremely busy on a Friday night, which is understandable but even my martini was disappointing. Obviously we will be back at some point, perhaps being so busy on a Friday night the quality slipped a little.

Went for the first time and I am a little spoiled when it comes to good food. I was sooooo pleasantly surprised. The food, the service the ambiance….everything was first class. I had the best bouillabaisse EVER and the grilled octopus salad was Devine. I think this has become my new favorite restaurant in the Tampa Bay Area.

We have gone to many restaurants in the Tampa Bay area over the years, but Mystic Fish is by far our favorite place to go for dinner. It could be called a neighborhood favorite as it is not flashy on the outside, but once inside there is a great ambiance and vibe, and you could be (and are) in one of the best restaurants in Tampa. It is a place we have been going to for over 15 years. And, I don't know why we ever go anywhere else. The food has always been consistently delicious, ambiance is great, and the staff is wonderful to interact with. On our latest outing, we had Justin as our server. He helped turn our going out for dinner, into great night out with a great dinner for my wife and I. That said, the entire staff does a great job. People, food, ambiance. It just doesn't get any better.
