Reel Seafood Grill

Had a wonderful special dinner with hubbie. Everything was absolutely fantastic, his sea bass was amazing and my rainbow trout was beautifully prepared. The mile high key lime pie was everything i remembered it to be! Definitely worth the trip to Greensboro for us!

Visited for the first time with some friends. The layout was very nice and contrary to some reviews, it was not too loud. We called ahead and made reservations so we were seated immediately. Everyone at the table was given ice waters right away and those glasses stayed full the entire time during our visit. Our server was super polite and very knowledgeable when it came to the menu, how the dish was prepared, and even advising our party of potential allergens. We ordered the Oysters Rockefeller and hushpuppies to start and they were delicious! The Loster Risotto was fantastic. The Monkfish with Crab was very good as well. I ordered the whole Red Snapper which was served with a delicious citrus butter. It was cooked to perfection and very delicious. For my sides, I chose the brussels sprouts and the collard greens. Both sides were very flavorful and delicious. I especially enjoyed the collard greens. Another member of our party ordered the Mahi Mahi and absolutely loved it. The staff routinely checked in with us to see if we had any complaints or needed anything. We were so pleasantly sated from our meal that we opted out of dessert, but the selections of desserts we saw pass our table all looked amazing.

This place is awesome. Best seafood in Greensboro, for sure. I'm no longer going to 1618 or Machete for the fancy dinner, because the food at Reel Seafood is just better. The dishes are unique, with complex and beautiful flavors. The seafood is fresh, and you can tell they take pride in where they source from based on the quality of the food. Highly recommend!

The service was very good. No complaints about that at all.
The food was served lukewarm warm at best. The baked potato was not hot enough to melt the butter.
Nothing is heavily seasoned except the mashed sweet potatoes; the chef used ginger in the mashed sweet potatoes and it was an excellent flavor. The Brussel sprouts were not seasoned: all of the flavor comes from the glaze.
The Oysters Rockefeller had a great flavor but as with everything else, the dish was served barely warm. (Note: I wasn’t a fan of their Hollandaise sauce that came with the Oysters Rockefeller. I’m glad o got it “on the side).
The fried oysters and trout almandine were okay. Not a lot of seasonings so the seafood was clearly the “star” of those dishes.
Overall, the food was okay. It would have been better if it was served above room temperature.

This was the first time that I had visited this restaurant. At first I thought it was just going to be another seafood restaurant but boy was I wrong. When we walked in, we were greeted immediately and with kindness. Since we didn’t have a reservation, we sat at the bar (which I have no problem with). We sat down, and again, greeted immediately by the bartender and who I assume was the owner/manager. They gave us detailed descriptions of the specials for the day and were told that everything was fresh and nothing had been frozen. A lot of restaurants will say that just because it puts a good reputation to their name but they were not lying. I am actually intolerant to processed/frozen shrimp; however, after I was informed it wasn’t frozen, I ordered some shrimp. Lo and behold, no reaction. (Even if I had a reaction, it wouldn’t have been a big deal; no anaphylactic shock or anything). Everyone we spoke to were so nice and very genuine. I had a great conversation with the bartender and will definitely be coming back!! Also this was the first restaurant I’ve been to that actually knows how to season and cook collard greens ;)

Saih was an excellent server! He was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful describing various selections on the menu.

Small, cozy atmosphere - good place for a date night (fills up fast - will definitely make a reservation before our next visit). Food was seasoned well as my wife thoroughly enjoyed her sesame-crusted flounder entree. Although our slaw and tartar sauce were somewhat bland, the rest of our food was spectacular, not only spectacular but next-level good (highly recommend: fish and chips, hush puppies, key lime pie, steak fries, flounder sesame and crab dip). Our waitress Shannon was very attentive to making sure we had a good dining experience. Looking forward to returning and trying more menu items.
