What’s for dinner tonight?
It’s in the name.
No really. It’s literally in our name.
Swordfish is on special tonight. 🐟🔥
Tonight’s feature: Swordfish Provençal with a bright tomato and white wine sauce that tastes like it belongs on the waterfront.
When the restaurant tells you what to order, you listen.

The Cortez Commercial Fishing Festival is coming up this weekend and we are just as excited as you are!
Quick reminder, the festival is NOT located at Swordfish Grill this year, even though it has been here in years past. We are just a short walk down the block, so you are still right in the middle of the action.
We will be open all weekend with live music on the Tiki Deck featuring Chad Tallman, Zack Pomerleau, and Steel Vibes.
Parking & Reservations:
Reservations are available, but walk-ins are always welcome. We are working hard to keep as much parking open as possible for our guests. There will be no festival parking at Swordfish, but we are conveniently adjacent to the Fish Preserve lot, which is the main festival parking.
Why the Festival Matters:
The Cortez Commercial Fishing Festival supports the Florida Institute for Saltwater Heritage, a local nonprofit dedicated to preserving Cortez’s historic fishing village and maritime traditions. Festival proceeds help protect the village, support local artists and fishermen, and celebrate the commercial fishing industry that makes our community so special.
We cannot wait to see you all for great food, live music, and a weekend full of Cortez pride. 🎶🐟🍻

Tommy Gee - I forgot to mention Swordfish Grill and Tiki in Cortez is also a good option, especially the Tiki Deck
Is there a place to dock a boat if we come by Boat?
