"We have been here a few times but this time our waitress was so rude to us. We sat down and all she said was do you have any questions and walked away. It took 15 minutes to be offered a drink. We loved this place before this and will likely not return."

"This was my second visit to the Dead Fish and I thoroughly enjoyed dining there again. I had a cup of the Crab Chowder and the Shrimp and Crab Louie, both were delicious. My friends loved it too. We're definitely going back!!"

"This place is wonderful! Great bar area, beautiful view, nice lively crowd. The service was excellent -- the busboys were great. Everyone is friendly. Plus, the food is wonderful! We had the crab feast and it was delicious, as well as our mussels appetizer. The presentation is fun and the portions are very generous. We can't wait to go back!"

"We love the dead fish for a couple of reasons. Sitting outside...the view is great. The bread...and crab chowder. The menu could use some updating. The service was FANTASTIC this visit."
