"Flying Fish never lives up to its potential, in my opinion. The menu reads interesting but the dishes usually come up a little short of expectation. Also, its not a great value."

"The salmon and the corvina were both delicious. The fried oyster Caesar continues to please as a wonderful starter. Overall the food is prepared nicely, accentuating the fish in a natural way."

"This was a wonderful dining experience. My fried calimari were the best I've ever had (this is one of my favorite dishes, and I've ordered it at many fine restaurants). My wife's fried oyster Caesar salad was delicious, but would have benefited from an additional oyster (there were only two). Her sea scallops were superb, and my seared Ahi tuna, although not the best I've ever had, was still very good indeed. Our dessert of warm brownie with grappa and vanilla ice cream was on a par with the legendary molten chocolate served at Los Danzantes in Oaxaca, Mexico. The wine list offered a number of excellent wines at affordable prices (along with the expected litany of high end bottles). Service was first-rate: efficient but unobtrusive. Bravo!"

"Greeted and seated immediately for a 6:15 PM reservation. Service was prompt and personable. The calamari appetizer was delicious as was the tune poke. Large plates were scallops and ahi tuna. Scallops were seared perfectly, slightly translucent, and seasoned well. The ahi tuna was blackened - had the right amount of heat with a great sear. Served rare, it was outstanding. Highly recommended for the seafood and north west wine selection."

"I'm torn about submitting this review in view of our unfortunate experience. After enjoying our first courses immensely, my husband was rendered immobile for five minutes after eating a chunk of a very strong Thai pepper that apparently ended up by mistake (the intent was to have a hint of heat, not a blast furnace) in a daikon/carrot topping that was not supposed to be spicy. The staff was very helpful in serving him beer and milk to try to draw out the heat and made amends for the error, but it put a sad end to a lovely week of enjoying several of Seattle's wonderful eateries. I don't think I'd be able to convince him to go back."
