    They tried to rip us off with a service charge of 20%. I didn’t notice at first, so I was giving a 40% tip effectively. Luckily I realized before I left. When I asked the waitress, she said that we shouldn’t worry about it, that she hope we enjoyed the food, that what it’s important.. I’d avoid this place at all cost. Many other seafood places around, with more honest service

    Food was amazing. Fresh and authentic. The portion size was perfect, not too large. The tortilla chips were warm and crisp. They had a great cocktail list. The Summer Margarita was delicious. The server was very knowledgeable of the menu and was very attentive and friendly. This was a hidden gem that we will surely go back to.

    It was a great experience, I messaged the restaurant letting them know it was our anniversary and they gave us what felt like extra attention and when we ordered dessert they personalized it. Great touch from the staff.

    Not busy at 6pm but fully staffed so plenty of attention for menu recommendations. Don’t like qr menus that make you give cell and agree to mrktg stuff, spouse found another qr that didn’t require anything. Food was very good and healthy portions. Special catch of day had too much arugula that distracted from taste. Could have used more spices on grilled branzino.

    Very fresh seafood, ceviches , pulpo, oysters amazing. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is drinks were quite weak for the price, disappointing. Service was on point !

    We were looking for a seafood restaurant after attending production of “A Christmas Carol” at the Alley Theater. The food was great and the service by Michelle was exceptional. If you want some different seafood dishes in a reasonably quiet setting and outstanding service you should give La Fisheria a try.

    The food and service were really good. I expected a nicer feel to the restaurant for the prices. My chair was wobbly and the lights were too bright for dinner. I felt like I was in a taqueria. The ceviche however was some of the best I’ve ever tasted. My drink in the other hand was not good. Staff is very nice and attentive though. I would definitely go back for the ceviche.

    I’ve wanted to try this place for several years. I thought it was a small little restaurant, but it’s actually spacious inside with great decor. Felt like we were sitting in a resort by the sea. Food was soooo fresh. Not weighed down by butter & sauces. Ceviche was perfect. The branzino was so fresh. Octopus chips were so savory. Very clean & healthy food, which I like. The jalapeño margarita was small but yummy. I’ll definitely come again to try more!

    Nice little place. Food was presented nicely but nothing outstanding by way of flavor. There was only one other table occupied when we arrived, but I had to ask the bartender to send our waitress on two occasions. She was at a back table on her cell phone.

    Food was excellent and it came out quickly. Drink service was unacceptable. It was hard to get water refills and the bar service was very slow. We could only get one drink and never got the second drink we ordered. Would have had a few more if we could get one.
