We’re Honored! Swordfish Grill has been named one of USA TODAY’s Restaurants of the Year 2025!
The historic fishing village of Cortez has been resilient for over 140 years, built on fresh Florida seafood and hard-working fishermen. We’re proud to be one of four seafood restaurants in Cortez carrying on that tradition—and even prouder to share this recognition with a community that has supported us through every challenge, including the aftermath of the dueling Hurricanes of 2024.
Thank you for being part of our story. This one’s for you, Cortez!

“Perfect setting, friendly atmosphere, great food Sit outside for the fun atmosphere. There is usually live music and lots of folks dance. The setting could not be more perfect…right on the water’s edge with lots of pelicans, egrets, herons, and other birds around. You can arrive by boat and come right up the ramp.”
