“ We enjoyed our lunch today. The food was wonderful, the scenery perfect and we had Tina providing excellent service. We always try to sit in Tina’s section. It is nice to see her and she always asks us how we are doing and is truly interested in what is going on with us. We ride from Safety Harbor almost every week to have a relaxing meal at The Upper Deck. ”
“ We had a wonderful experience. We sit on the bottom deck and had a great view. We enjoyed watching the fish swim. The boats on the river were fun to watch while eating. The seafood platter was really good. A on the food. A on the service. We will be back. ”
“ Stopped here for dinner Tuesday night and parked our boat at the dock. The staff very graciously let us know that the kitchen would be closing in 30 minutes. Luckily, the menu was only two pages so all five of us were able to make decisions quickly. All of the food came out fast and piping-hot! Everyone loved their food, the staff was awesome, and they even had these little Key Lime Pie shooters that were so delicious (I could have had a few!) Great bar area on the lower level. Indoor/outdoor dining on the upper level. Both with water views of course. Highly recommend!!! ”
“ Great service, food, and view, I'd love to come back during the night and get to see the bar in operation! ”
“ Wow! We were beyond impressed with this place. The food was FRESH and amazing. The service was great. The drinks were tasty and well-balanced. The shrimp po boy on the fresh made roll was delightful! The grouper sandwich was fresh. The menu prices for the quality and size of the food were great! If you're in the area, you MUST stop by! I wish I were more local to frequent this place. ”
“ Update May 2025: After reading some recent reviews, we were shocked because we had an amazing experience every day of our 4 night visit. We had lunch and dinner at Upper Deck. The food came out quickly and the drinks were flowing and amazing. Loved seeing some of the same servers and greeters and how friendly everyone was. Erin was our bartender on our second day and she is so wonderful. Made me my best Old Fashioned drink; definitely had to get two of those. She kept us laughing as we did her. It was wonderful. We also had Bri and Skyla wait on us with the same great experience. Wonderful servers and everyone spoke to us coming and going; welcoming us back the next time we visit on vacation. Not sure what all these people were having as a bad day but the reviews reflect their bad day and not this place or these people. Saturdays and Sundays are expected to be busy at almost any restaurant but add in the factor of being right on the beautiful Weeki Wachee River you can expect some additional waiting time. I say grab another drink and smile on. So many people would like to be sitting in your seat right now. We will see you all next year. Have a happy day. Oh, I only grabbed Erin's photo so I'm adding her. Update on 5-5-23: Same super service. Smiles from the staff. Great drinks and food. Kelsey never disappoints. Kim and Kelsey are great. So happy to see so many smiling faces of staff members that are still working here. So wonderful. We had a great time and definitely looking forward a lot of visits this weekend. We love this place. The food and drinks are awesome but when you see the staff working together like a team (or family like; you know the good kind) you automatically respect them and just have a better time. The first visit on this trip (as we ate here each day) the girls make drinks and brought us food, making suggestions, etc. Kelsey was awesome. Just loved her energy. We didn't get any other names but there were several staff working on Saturday, Nov 12, 2022. Everyone was smiling and doing a great job. We loved the Wings, Stuffed Mushroom Caps, and Baked Shrimp and Lobster Dip. All were delicious. I ordered the Gator Tail but wasn't a fan of the blackened version. Should have gotten fried. Isn't everything better fried? Let me tell you, the sunset view from this place was breathtaking. Definitely will be back every single time we visit the area. ”
“ Nice atmosphere! Food was good and staff was friendly! Went on a Friday afternoon nice and relaxing good view of the river. If you sit at the tiki bar downstairs ask Megan for a Very Berry Lemon Drop its delicious!! ”
“ Ate here for the first time May 12, 2025. The server was very friendly and kept a check on us. The food was very good. I got the plate with the grouper, shrimp, scallops and fries. Everything was great and the fries were very good as well. The best lobster bisque I have eaten. Nice place. ”
