This was again a place I was looking forward to try a lot. The theme of the restaurant was great, being on a old boat was great. The food was also very good. Being from Baltimore, I knew the crab cakes wouldn't be as good as home but I was still impressed. The steak and snow crab was also cooked very well. The service we got was great, never had to wait too long for a refill or the food. I definitely recommend making a reservation. When we left, they had at least 30 people outside waiting.

We took my son here as a birthday treat and had reservation. We arrived about 15 minutes prior and were asked to wait inside to be seated. The interior check in area is very chaotic and they could benefit from the electronic beepers here. After waiting 30 minutes and seeing people come in from standby after us and get seated we check again on our seating. Somehow they forgot about us and then we got seated. There were plenty of tables available so dont know what the issue was.
After being seated the service was painfully slow in terms of getting drink orders, bread etc. Overall the waiter was very friendly but service was very slow. The food overall was good, however, they did not meet the expectations of price. For what you pay here you should walk out wowed and this was not the case. A step above Red Lobster, but I have had much better in Florida at cheaper places.
It took over 2 hours for just a simple dinner service here. Way too much time!! Not sure if I would dine here again.

A surprisingly amazing Disney Dining experience!
We went last night without reservations and were seated immediately.
The staff was kind and courteous, even explaining things on the menu before ordering. They brought out crackers and crab meat dip, followed by bread and butter before the meal.
My sister ordered the Lobster Ravioli, and she absolutely loved it, saying it was the best pasta she ever ate on site. Not being a seafood fan, I opted for the chicken pasta (w/o olives) which was incredibly delicious, very filling. We also had flavored lemonade (strawberry and raspberry, respectively) which were equally delicious.
The price was surprisingly low for seafood at Disney.
The only real downside was it was awkward trying to exit. The restaurant is on a boat and we were seated on the second level, and we had a difficult time maneuvering around the tables and down the stairs.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and are definitely looking forward to returning!

Good atmosphere, good food. Don't believe I'd eat here again on the dining plan only because it takes two table service credits per person. Filet mignon option on kids meal was nice. All food was enjoyed. Lobster bisque and filet were the best. We were seated in a corner booth/table upstairs. No view but still a nice dinner.

$$$$, waitress
|
|
Ate here on 11/15/2013 for dinner. We have bypassed Fulton's in the past due to the $$$$ but since they are on the dining plan, we went there. If we would have had to pay OOP, it would have been $238.00. It takes 2 table services...but it was worth it.
For an appetizer, we got the Fulton's Seafood Tower. It is a meal all in its self. For entree, I had Narragansett, Rhode Island Lobster. It was good but really hard to get out of the lobster shell really made it messy (won't get that again). DH had Alaska King Crab, he really enjoyed them.
We sat on the upper deck facing Pleasure Island window view looking out at the Christmas Tree & could see the balloon going up...got some great pics.
As for the waitress, she was real pushy especially when it came time to pay. But will definitely do it again in 10/2013.

We had a great visit here. Decided to stop in at the bar area and have a couple cold water oysters. Ended up getting oysters, fish tacos and the seafood tower which consists of shrimp, crab legs, a whole lobster and six oysters.
Everything was fresh and cold. If I had any complaint it's that the boiled lobster needed to be drained before served as it was quite watery.
Everything was really good though.
The fish tacos were delicious, better then Paradiso 37 tacos as they were blackened and not fried. They had way too much salsa and too little fish, but they were good for a nice lunch.
Cant wait for warm weather to hide out here, have cold seafood and some cold drinks at the gorgeous wooden bar area.

Cold and tasteless food

Ate here 29/10 as a party of 5.
Had read several reviews slating this restaurant, but also a fair number saying that it was excellent. Decided to give it the benefit of the doubt as I am a seafood lover.
Not a great start as I overheard the adjacent table send back three out of 4 appetizers as they were cold - a glimpse of the future.
With a bunch of fuzzy eaters, we had an unusual meal structure.
My wife had two appetizers for her meal. The first being Calamari which was ok. The second was the shrimp cocktail. This consisted of just shrimp on a bed of ice with a dip. The shrimp in fairness were good quality but they were so cold that they were tasteless.
I also had the shrimp cocktail with the same outcome. My entree was the Rhode Island Lobster with a side of asparagus. The lobster was tepid ranging to stone cold depending on which section you ate from. The asparagus was also close to cold.
My daughter just had the pasta off the kids menu, which she liked.
My son had the calamari which he liked and the mussels and clams which he said was so so.
My other son had no starter but had cod, shrimp and scallops which he described as ok.
Given the cost at $200, which is considerable when you consider most of our party had a limited meal with no wine, I was very disappointed. I would go so far as to say that this was one of the worst meals I have had anywhere, bland, cold and tasteless.
This place manages to take very good produce and for the most part ruins it.
I felt sorry for the waitress who was working very hard and yet was being let down by a very poor kitchen. Give this place a miss.

Salty food
|

We ate here on our first night at WDW. It was pouring and we got there about 30mins early and they were actually able to accommodate us. We got a really nice table upstairs with a great view of the water.
We started with salads, which were pretty average. I ordered the shrimp & grits, DD (5) ordered the filet, Mom ordered salmon & Dad ordered the cod. The presentation on all the entrees was beautiful. My grits were a little on the lukewarm side but still flavorful. My parents both loved their meals. However my daughters filet was so salty she couldn't eat it. The waiter redid it and the meat was too well done. We were not on the dining plan so the waiter took her meal off the bill which was only fair since she never really ate it.
We were celebrating my daughter's 5th birthday and my parents 60th wedding anniversary and the waiter brought out two huge pieces of chocolate/raspberry cake for us on the house.
All in all, a very nice meal. Though we did have to stop and get my daughter something else to eat which is really why I rated Fultons a 7, otherwise I probably would have given it a 10.

Ate dinner at FULTONS on 8/17...and really looked forward to it. And it was good, really good food. I had the Narragansett, Rhode Island Lobster.
But it just is not worth the price for the food...and for 2 table service dining credits, way overpriced.
Portions were okay, but again, not good compared to cost. And seafood is much better at FLYING FISH and CALIFORNIA GRILL.

We have never eaten here, but I would definitely recommend eating here, especially if you are on the Dining Plan. Which we were and it was a good thing, because our bill was a 3 digit- WOW! However the service and selection was Excellent. I ordered the King Crab Legs- the BEST I have ever eaten. My kids each got the same thing- a bowl with all kinds of shellfish. (They had to work for it too). I felt the atmosphere was excellent too. The location was perfect in between the shops.

Took my husband here for his birthday in may. He loves seafood so thought this looked fun. I was a little disappointed. The food wasn't bad but compared to other 2TS restaurants this one is low on the list. I don't eat seafood so I ordered steak and it was just ok. My hubby's lobster looked good and he enjoyed it.
I have a hard time giving a neg review to any Disney business so I feel bad saying I would not eat here again. I would rather go to California grill again much better food!

I had really high hopes for this place and it ended up being my least fav meal and it was my bday  . We had to wait a bit to be seated and we had a res. Then the table wasn't cleaned off yet and had to stand and wait for it. Our server was nice but extremely slow, didn't offer specials or drinks or anything really. Apps were good, lobster and crab were good, the crab dip was good, but everything else were so-so not up to par for the price.
It was my bday and they knew it and I had to ask them for my dessert and it was a nasty generic chocolate cake it wasn't good at all. This place was just ok. I would def save the money and go somewhere else next time.

We had dinner here March 26, 2012.
We had previous reservations, and waited roughly 10 minutes for our table.
Although we had the dining plan, we opted not to use it for this meal because it uses 2 dinner credits, and wanted to use ours elsewhere.
For appetizers, we ordered a dozen Blue Point fresh oysters (recommended by our waitress), and the Key West Conch Fritters. We enjoyed both quite well. The Blue Point oysters were fresh and served beautifully on a large platter. The Conch Fritters were slightly overcooked, but still delicious otherwise.
For dinner, we each ordered the Rhode Island-Narragansett Lobsters. Both were filled plump with a shrimp/scallop/spinach filling, and the lobster meat was tender and plump. My only complaint of this dish is that the lobster was not drained well prior to serving, and we found it to be very watery and messy when cracking into the shells, as opposed to how it may have been if steamed.
We ordered dessert drinks only, which were very good (chocolate martini and beer). However, our waitress surprised my DH with a slice of chocolate raspberry cake, which she wrote a "Happy Birthday" message in icing on the plate rim. We shared the cake, which was moist and delicious.
We would rate both the hostess and wait staff a 10. There was a slight mix up when they originally could not find our reservation; however, the host had only overlooked it, and found it quickly. We enjoyed the lobby decor while we waited (roughly 10 minutes). Our waitress was appropriately attentive and very friendly. We certainly did not go without drink refills, and she was helpful in explanations and quick to bring us anything we requested.
The food quality is very good; however, I will not say it's the best we've had. Nonetheless, the menu has a lot of items you can't find at other seafood restaurants, which was unique. Also, the overall experience (restaurant location, decor, friendliness of staff) made this experience more than worth it for us.
The only notable "con" we found is the price. This was actually the highest amount we've ever paid for the two of us to eat. However, we tend to be very frivolous in our meals when traveling, so we didn't mind the expense. I would highly recommend that prior to arriving, you check out the menu with prices to get an idea of your expected cost. Keep in mind if using the dining plan there are several items that are not included (tip, alcoholic beverages, and appetizers) that will create additional expenses.
We normally would travel with our children. For us, this is more a good "date" restaurant than "family" one, and would probably not dine here when we return with the children. This would be a place we would be willing to return to in the future without the children, but probably not every visit.

This was our first time eating here and definitely worth 2 TS credits. I'm not a seafood lover so I got the NY strip and it was the best steak I have ever eaten. Everyone else had seafood and raved about it also. The desserts were good but obviously not the reason you come here. Our server was great and we actually left a 20% tip which we NEVER do. I highly recommend this restaurant even if you are mot a seafood lover. The only issue was after we checked in (had ADR) they didn't check us in so after about 30 minutes of waiting we had to ask about being seated, but the food and service outweighed that issue.
