    The food was alright and the portions were large, but the service was bad and the music was way way way too loud, even after being moved to the back. Forgotten drinks, and it seems like the server never put our mains in at the time they put our apps in. There was a lot of shell debris in my shellfish soup. The live music was terrible and corny and deafeningly loud in the front; we moved to the back and even then it was inescapable. He did play a cover of neon moon that was pretty sick though.

    Absolutely delicious innovative perfectly cooked and presented morsels. Our cowboy hats of Octopus bites on potato slices were tender, bursting with flavour and fun! The trio of empanadas each held its own flavour and yet melded together in light crispy deliciousness, and the rib eye steak was grilled, in all its smoky infusion, to perfection. Our waitstaff Michelle was so nice to two folks from New Zealand, and there was a lovely woman crooning the tunes to add to a lively, colorful and very pleasant atmosphere.

    We had a 1:45 PM reservation and were seated right away since the restaurant was only half full. Unfortunately, that was the highlight of our visit. It took over 10 minutes for our server to even greet us and take our drink order. The appetizers took so long to arrive that we were already full from the chips and salsa by the time they finally came. Even worse, our main dishes didn’t arrive until nearly 3:00 PM—over an hour after we were seated. The long wait and lack of attentiveness were extremely disappointing, especially given how slow the restaurant was. We expected much better.

    We used to love the whole fish at Fisheria. This time the price had gone up and we barely had any fish on a small tilapia.

    This was our first time at La Fisheria and we were very excited to try it out. At the beginning it was very welcoming and they changed the TV to the basketball game we wanted to watch after we waited for it after asking. Drinks took a long time to come out and appetizers came out a little later than expected. Good thing we ordered the main course before the appetizers because the good to FOREVER to come out. every time we asked for something, it took too long to come out. for the sauce we asked for our tacos, we literally gave up waiting and just ate half the tacos without the sauce because it took so long. Also, the food was way to expensive for the quality, service and service. We would have spent the same amount of money at Del Frisco's or McCormick & Schmick's. We were quite disappointed. We really were expecting a better experience and better quality food.
