    The food was great. Location, ambiance, service, all was great. We just recommended it to our neighbors, and now we’re making a date to go back!

    Given the relaxing of COVID restrictions, the place was busy! Although a bit pricy...the food was very good and the service was coming up to speed.

    The food here is great! However, I think they may have been short staffed or something because we didn't see our server very much at our table and we saw him serving tables on the other side of the restaurant...the crab feast is worth every penny of the $140, but beware of the garlic noodles...especially if you add crab, shrimp or anything else to it. We added crab which brought that one dish to almost $40. We thought we would be able to share it with our party of 3, but it was very small!

    The Dead Fish is one of my favorite restaurants. I absolutely love everything from the whimsical decor and beautiful outdoor patio to the fresh and delicious menu options. When I am looking to treat my mom to a very special outing, or a romantic date night with my husband, I think of The Dead Fish. Please continue doing what you're doing!

    We tried the garlic butter crusted sea bass with creamed spinach and chile-glazed salmon with pasta. Both were excellent. I can never go without at least having a little crab too! The drawn garlic infused butter is my favorite. Drinks were on point and they even brought my son out a happy birthday dessert! Thank you Dead Fish for making our celebration special!! We’ll be back.

    We made our reservation about 3 months prior requesting outside seating. When we arrived it was a 30-45 minute wait for outside so we opted to be seated inside which we were. Turned out it was in a corner without a view of the water. So disappointed........
