    Disappointed in the mussels. The broth was not as tasty as it should be. Whipped ricotta needed more flavor. Too bland Mushrooms and risotto were delicious Bread is excellent

    We had such a lovely evening at Fish Nor Fowl! The service and hospitality were truly top-notch—every staff member we interacted with was warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. It was our first time dining on the patio it was a great spot to enjoy the evening. The cocktail and wine selection is exceptional thoughtfully curated and full of unique choices. The food itself was delicious—creative, well-prepared, and satisfying. Overall, an incredible experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back soon!

    My husband and I celebrated our 7th anniversary at the restaurant last night. From start to finish it was an incredible experience. The octopus was a featured small plate. It was amazing! We shared a bunch of other fantastic small plates including rosemary focaccia, duck, wedge salad and pasta. The cherry on top was decadent chocolate banana pie and port! The service was also fantastic! I 100% recommend!!
