About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Neighborhood gem
Little Fish was founded in the mid-'90s to the delight of Queen Village foodies and pretty much all Philadelphians who give a hoot about great seafood. Little Fish continues to offer flavors and daring combinations to the recognition of Bon Appétit magazine — 3rd Best New Seafood Restaurant in the USA — and the delight of The New York Times. Little Fish recently swam up stream and reopened in a new location, a stone's throw from its original location where Little Fish continues to earn accolades from national and local press. Most importantly, Little Fish continues to feed old friends and serve new fans

    Have lived in Phila for 7 years and this honestly could be my favorite restaurant. I like places that are quality over quantity. The limited menu of what is great tonight - is just that great.

    My boyfriend and I just had our first experience at Little Fish and both agree this place deserves 5 stars. Our server was so friendly and attentive and the food was perfection! The menu was small but even so it was hard to make our selection when every dish sounded incredible. We brought a bottle of red and a bottle of white which both paired nicely with our meal. I think Little Fish is great for a date or a night out with a few friends. We definitely recommend checking it out! (I included a picture of the tuna entree- I think it was my favorite dish!)

    Excellent and flavorful. Four of us we ordered six unique dishes and a couple of repeats. All six dishes were giveN rave reviews. My hamachi and pan seared Bronzino dishes were delicious with each accompaniment of the Bronzino in perfect balance. Service is very good, not at all rushed and we noticed that they pace things so at each course is served to all at a given table at the same time. No one waits for others to get their food.

    I loved that the atmosphere was an open kitchen. The aroma from dishes being prepared was enjoyable and pleasant and often lead to comments during our table’s conversations. The menu was little and all fish. There were raw Oysters on the menu and three choices for both the First and the Second Course. We ordered oysters and two of the First Course plates: steelhead trout (sunchoke, dill, trout roe, and creme fraiche) and scallops (radicchio, caper, almonds, and sherry). Both dishes were delicious! The scallops had that perfect caramelization that I only seem to be able to successfully duplicate about 50% of the time when I prepare scallops. The other dish that we tried from the First Course was the steel trout. Beautifully prepared with great flavors going on. Second Course. There were 3 people in our party so we had the opportunity to try all of the offerings for the evening. Second Course plates: halibut (wild mushrooms, potato, kale), branzino (brussel sprout, fennel, blood orange, and macadamia) and bigeye tuna (sweet potato, maitake, scallion, and mustard). The dishes were all prepared beautifully with particular detail paid to the plating of each dish. I will speak in detail to the bigeye tuna as that was my dinner. The tuna was perfectly pan seared and served over sweet potatoes. The mustard sauce was not coating the tuna, so you could enjoy the tuna on its own, but if you wanted, it was easy to coat the tuna with the mustard sauce on the plate. The key feature that I liked about this restaurant was the limited menu. I often spend too much time agonizing over a menu when I have 20 plus choices for my entrée. A limited menu also allows the chef to make consistently perfect dishes. The service was beyond reproach. Although the restaurant was BYOB our waitress took control of our wine, kept it chilled, and made sure our glasses were always full. The next time I am back in Philly, Little Fish will definitely be on the menu!

    This BYO restaurant is a tiny gem. The fish is extraordinary. Because of the size of the restaurant guests can actually talk while enjoying delicious food. One needs to plan far in advance to secure a reservation.
