During our local staycation weekend getaway at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort And Spa, we had the pleasure of dining at Tarpon Bay Seafood Restaurant. This highly rated seafood restaurant, known for its upscale dining experience with a resort casual feel, had caught our attention during a previous visit when we were unable to secure a dinner reservation. This time, we were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to try it out, and we were not disappointed. As a family with two young children, we opted for an early dinner reservation at 6 pm, a time that suited our dining needs. Upon arrival, we found a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and it was evident that Tarpon Bay was a popular choice among families staying at the resort. The coastal resort-themed interior dcor exuded a fun and beachy vibe, which perfectly complemented the higher-end resort ambiance. The wicker basket chandeliers added a unique touch that caught my wife's attention. The staff and servers at Tarpon Bay were exceptionally friendly and accommodating throughout our dining experience. One notable feature of the restaurant was the open kitchen, where we could witness the skilled chefs and kitchen staff in action. Additionally, there was a large chef's table available for reservations, providing food enthusiasts with a front-row seat to the culinary artistry. Now, let's talk about the food. The offerings at Tarpon Bay were nothing short of outstanding. We started with the lobster bisque and the champagne oyster trio. The lobster bisque was a work of art, beautifully plated and presented by our server. It had a touch of caviar, which added an elegant touch when added tableside. The bisque itself was rich and flavorful, without being overly pretentious. The oysters in the champagne oyster trio were a delight to the taste buds. For our children, we ordered the grilled salmon from the kids' menu. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of this dish. Served with rice and vegetables, it exceeded our expectations for a kids' meal. The attention to detail and high-quality ingredients used made it evident that Tarpon Bay took the same level of care in preparing the kids' dishes as they did for the adult entrees. Moving on to the main courses, my wife ordered the filet, and I opted for the scallops. Both dishes were exceptional. The filet was perfectly seared, tender, and bursting with flavor. My scallops came as a pleasant surprise with four large, perfectly seared scallops, rather than the expected three. Each scallop was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. After indulging in our savory dishes, we couldn't resist trying the desserts. Our girls enjoyed a scoop of what seemed to be house-made ice cream, which had a delightful taste. However, the true star of the evening was my dessert, the berry cobbler. It was a mind-blowing experience. Served piping hot and accompanied by a scoop of house-made ice cream, the combination of the bubbling berries and the delectable cobbler was a taste sensation unlike anything I had experienced before. It was a truly exceptional dessert and easily the best I've had in a long time. Its beauty, fragrance, and overall extraordinary flavors made it an unforgettable dining moment. Overall, our experience at Tarpon Bay Seafood Restaurant was delightful. The combination of the outstanding food, friendly service, and inviting ambiance made it a memorable evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort And Spa, and Tarpon Bay further enhanced our stay. We look forward to returning in the future to create more wonderful memories at this exceptional dining establishment.

We had a nice meal, late. The service was great. We had an issue, and it was resolved to our satisfaction. I personally think the menu could use some additional choices, but the food was very passable and I loved the bisque.
