Went here for the first time for my birthday last night with my mom and the bf! Ultimately we would all highly recommend! We did call ahead (can do call ahead same day only).. it was Dec 23 (holiday season) and we called ahead for 6:45pm. We got there a lil early and only waited like 15 minutes until we got a table. The atmosphere/ambience is top notch honestly! I read reviews saying it can be too loud but I disagree and not too loud .. yes it was "loud" but not bothersome loud and you can hear each other easily! (My mom is 83, I just turned 43 so keep that in perspective)..It's nice, clean and I say upscale but casual and cozy! Service was amazing! We had Peter and he was attentive, funny and made good recommendations! Definetely kudos to him! Ok the DRINKS! Honestly they were so yummy and strong (in the bestest way) and I would just come here for drinks! I had blood orange martini, bf had passion fruit martini, and mom had cosmo.. all were amazing and we were all "feeling nice" after 1! Plus they do give you the extra in the shaker so it's like a drink and a half lol.. mind you, we are picky about the drinks and my mom couldn't talk enough about her yummy cosmo! Drinks were def one of the highlights! Apps: we had the calamari and it was yummy! The batter on all the fried food is top notch! Crispy, not overly battered, not too greasy and light! And yes they give you tentacles and the marinara sauce was yummy!! I would like them to add the hot peppers in there but that's ok lol.. entrees: I had the blackened swordfish (I read reviews and ppl were raving about it) and I loved it! The fish was thick, big peice, but flavorful, juicy (not dry), mango salsa was yum, and u get 2 sides (I got sweet potato fries and butternut squash very good!).. mom had baked seafood casserole with sane sides I got.. it was good, just a lil dry (this is why I'm givjng 4 stars instead of 5).. I tried it and maybe it was a tad overcooked? But still good and ok.. my bf got fried seafood platter.. it was very good, big portion, u get both fries, onion rings and coleslaw and all yummy (coleslaw was really good lol) again the batter was great! Dessert menu honestly the options weren't overly stupendous butt we decided on the brownie sundae with ice cream, and it was a brownie sundae SKILLET! Pleasantly surprised!! Honestly I would come back for that! Another highlight! Hot skillet brownie with crispy edges, 2 scoops of ice cream and whipped cream with chocolate drizzle omg so good! Big portion and easily shareable with 3 people! My mom is not a big brownie fan but she loveddd it! Honestly the place is also decently priced and "affordable" the whole bill came to $175.. special occasion and happily spent! Hope this helps and thank you Fishbones! Merry Christmas! - Penny
