    Great location. Beautiful view with outstanding chef creations. Table of four, all of us had a delicious meal. The tuna was like butter, melted in your mouth, the pork chop was incredible. Drinks by Lourdes yum! HIGHLY recommend to stop into FatFish with live music at the bar, tables for dinner with a water view and great food created by the owner / chef. We will be back.....

    Sat at an outside table on Mother’s Day and had a great experience. The food and service were excellent and the view was beautiful. We didn’t feel rushed and there was plenty of room between tables. I would definitely recommend it and we will be back. Thank you for a great day!
