Laishley Crab House - Punta Gorda (FL)

1 /5 Charbel Elias: Honestly? Horrible restaurant to eat at. We came because the view was promising but the food is really really bad. Grouper Reuben: most expensive sandwich on their menu, has BARELY any fish. Half the sandwich is coleslaw, the other half is a tiny amount of fish. I wish it even tasted good, but it doesnt it tastes like nothing. 0/10 Espresso Martini: no espresso is in there, just cold brew and the cheap kind. It tasted horrible. Ginger ale: I think they ran out and just served soda water??? Like what even is this place??? Is there even a standard here? Does anyone eat here and leave and think wow this is great Im coming back? Absolutely no way. Tap water is disgusting here. Fries were good. 1/10, never again.

5 /5 Robert Belous: Came to celebrate our 34th anniversary, even though we’re locals we’ve never been shame on us, the food and service were outstanding. The tomato crab bisque was beyond great. My wife got the crab artichoke dip as an appetizer, while I despise artichoke it was good, she loved it. The old fashioned was ok, but the dirty martini was excellent according to my wife. I ordered the Grouper Lashley, way above expectations, the scallops in the seafood trio were chewy but other than that a great dining experience and can’t wait to go back. It’s on our list of SWFL favorites

4 /5 David Gerard: Mary provided warm and professional service. 5 ⭐ for her. PEI Mussles were great - the sauce was the best part of the entire meal. Fried oysters were really delicious (should automatically come with tarter sauce, chef!). Coconut shrimp were pretty good, but could use a more consistent cut and finish for ease of eating, and were a little overdone. Key lime was mid at best. Warm night, cool breaze off the water, lively atmosphere - wonderful spot!

5 /5 Brittany Poder: Made reservations for lunch on the outside deck absolutely gorgeous! Was our first time and have been celebrating my husband this weekend for his 60th birthday! He had a Pacific Grouper Wrap and I had Grilled Chicken Teriyaki on a croissant. Mine was overcooked and dry but server couldn’t have taken care of it any better. In no time at all I had a juicy and very tasty sandwich and I enjoyed every last bite. I will not do any kind of deduction whatsoever in my rating. Easy mistake to have happen easily and perfectly corrected. I had my hush puppies, a gorgeous view and conversation nothing else matters to me! Service was great and they were hustling hard while smiles and friendliness making sure everyone was happy. We will definitely return and soon so worth the 30 minute drive!
