Vernick Fish presents Philadelphia’s own, Chef Greg Vernick’s exploration beyond the boundaries of a seafood restaurant. His ingredient-driven cooking style, paired with a love for global flavors, results in an inventive menu of fish and shellfish dishes, and a range of vegetable preparations. Taking a detailed, seasonal, and sustainable approach with small and large plate offerings, the kitchen brings new life to the favorite hallmarks of American oyster bar fare and raw bar. Complementing the experience are well-crafted cocktails, and a focused wine list of seafood-friendly white and sparkling offerings, as well as light, fresh reds.

    The food is very very good but not extraordinary. $26 for a glass of Chardonnay seemed excessive.

    Vernick Fish was outstanding! The food was top notch! We both loved everything; the raw oysters, shrimp cocktail, crispy octopus, sea bass, and scallops all were exceptional. Our server, Tom, did a great job and it was so thoughtful they welcomed us with champagne since we were celebrating our anniversary!

    We celebrated my birthday here and it was wonderful. The ambience/decor is elegant yet with a casual, relaxing feel. The service was impeccable. I had one of five selections of fresh oysters which were fresh and delicious and served with a tray of sauces. My husband loved the sardines on charred toast as an appetizer. For the main course, I had the scallops which were cooked to perfection and my husband had the poached halibut. Both were excellent. For dessert we shared chocolate banana pie (brought with a candle). This was a wonderful place to celebrate.
