Excellent food and service. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. We loved every moment of our dining experience!
What a view, what a meal! Such an enjoyable time at the Dead Fish
The Dead Fish continues to be one of my favorite restaurants. I have been enjoying mainly special event dinners here for many years, although in normal times, I would drop by for a drink at the bar occasionally and enjoy the view. I've never had anything I didn't enjoy, from the crab feast to the prime rib, the salads, chowder, appetizers, and desserts, even the pasta - it's all been fabulous!
Food is always good and the view is amazing! The service is outstanding.
Excellent seafood, unique dishes. Crab Lasagna is my fav!
Great! Seafood & Service, Servers were Excellent. Family Birthday Celebration.
Very disappointing experience due mostly to poor customer service. The food was average, although the STEW taste like tomato soup with some seafood thrown in-it was not good.
Reservation was for 2:15. After arriving at 2:20 & standing at the entrance. I was finally seated at 2:32. Ordered was finally taken at 2:55pm order came out at 345.
However my drinks were rather quite prompt. Salute to the bar
My Husband And I Love This Place. We Were Celebrating my Husband’s 50th Birthday. The food was amazing as usual. A little windy yesterday but who cares the food and ambiance is what you come for.. will definitely be back in the future.
Took a day off from work with my husband. Lovely staff, great service, amazing view, and incredible delicious food!
They raised all the prices a coke is $5.00 they charge for bread and butter. Skimpy on food
I don’t mind paying the prices but the food was warm not hot
Not going back anytime soon
Always booked and busy for a reason. Beautiful views, tasty food, and good cocktails. Parking can be hit or miss but that shouldn't stop you from going!
Everything was great from checking in and great energy from our waiter. Food was great. Just overall great.
Good food, service and ambiance!👍🏽
Beautiful scenery!
Our waiter was great, took care of all us us, made sure he checked back every so often to make sure we were doing well. Our family doesn't eat out a lot, but when we do, we enjoy the experience of a nice establishment.
It was a birthday occasion for my best friend and we were able to even get a window seat. Because of the pandemic please make a reservation to avoid waiting,

Staff was super friendly and food was very delicious
We arrived early for our reservation and they were able to seat us immediately indoors. Our booth, although indoors, wasn't far from the open entrance doors, so it was a bit cool and drafty with the front doors open due to COVID protocol. Food and service were great!
Everything went well except for us receiving our bread last
We ate outside and the weather happened to be beautiful that afternoon. The tables were spaced far enough to provide privacy. The food was awesome and the service was great. My first time there and I hope to come again. It was wonderful! Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!

This was our second time going. The food was good. I thought the first time was a lot better. Service was good. I would go back.
Great service and food.
This was a perfect day with amazing food and great service. The Dead Fish never disappoints.
Our server Robert had great drink and food suggestions and offered excellent service!
The food was delicious. Our waiter was attentive and made sure our needs were meant from the start of our visit til we left
The Dead Fish is my favorite "special dining" restaurant. The
food and service are excellent, and there is no corkage fee. We have reserved for large parties at Christmas and other events, and gone just as a couple, and never been disappointed..
Mom daughter lunch after a year of not seeing each other.
Anniversary dinner with my wife. Wow wow wow. Great atmosphere and great service. The views were fantastic. Recommended to all. I’m ready for another great evening.
Thank you Dead Fish for a great evening.
Service was quick and friendly. Food was excellent!
David, our waiter, was FABULOUS! Food was great although I can't wait for Osso Bucco to return to the menu. We were there early on a Thursday night so it was very quiet. We love this place and hope they can freshen up the menu when things get back to normal.
Always good always consistent. Lovely place to dine
Great views except for plastic barriers because of COVID! The crab melts were nice with ample crab meat. Good
Drinks too. Will go again.
The waitress was OUTSTANDING! Really took care of us. They need to be careful of not overcooking on the sizzling platters. Less is better because they continue to cook.
If you looking for a spot with great views, cocktails & food, this is the place.
Friendly staff and fun atmosphere. We're making another visit soon!
Very, very nice. Seating, food, service, all VERY good.
One of my favorite Restaurants! Fabulous view of the Carquinez Straits and Carquinez Bridge from high on a hill. Wonderful food and excellent service. I have been going there a few times a year for 22 years...
4-7-2021. Thank you. Good food
Friendly environment with excellent seafood. Service was great. Quaint atmosphere
with many little sailboats to admire. Very nautical and of course right on the water with a great view. Beautiful bar area to relax in.
