    I can't believe it took us this long to go to La Fisheria! The food was incredible. From the ceviche trio to my insanely good red snapper, everything was perfect from start to finish. My family said the churros are a must-do (though I couldn't try them due to an allergy). Our server Ariana personally made me a pina colada for dessert so that I would not be left out, and it was one of the best that I have ever had. Our 18-month old could not get enough of the rice, and the restaurant felt very baby/kid friendly without being a "kid" place. The tables were well-spaced, so we did not feel like we had to cram his stroller in, and they also had highchairs available. We will definitely be back!

    As always the food that we ordered was great. The whole Pompano fish was excellent. The bourbon pours over a rock was a bit on the skimpy perfect measured pour. We’ve been here before and will continue to come back. Come and have lunch or dinner here, you’ll enjoy it

    They tried to rip us off with a service charge of 20%. I didn’t notice at first, so I was giving a 40% tip effectively. Luckily I realized before I left. When I asked the waitress, she said that we shouldn’t worry about it, that she hope we enjoyed the food, that what it’s important.. I’d avoid this place at all cost. Many other seafood places around, with more honest service

    Food was amazing. Fresh and authentic. The portion size was perfect, not too large. The tortilla chips were warm and crisp. They had a great cocktail list. The Summer Margarita was delicious. The server was very knowledgeable of the menu and was very attentive and friendly. This was a hidden gem that we will surely go back to.

    Not busy at 6pm but fully staffed so plenty of attention for menu recommendations. Don’t like qr menus that make you give cell and agree to mrktg stuff, spouse found another qr that didn’t require anything. Food was very good and healthy portions. Special catch of day had too much arugula that distracted from taste. Could have used more spices on grilled branzino.

    We were looking for a seafood restaurant after attending production of “A Christmas Carol” at the Alley Theater. The food was great and the service by Michelle was exceptional. If you want some different seafood dishes in a reasonably quiet setting and outstanding service you should give La Fisheria a try.

    The food and service were really good. I expected a nicer feel to the restaurant for the prices. My chair was wobbly and the lights were too bright for dinner. I felt like I was in a taqueria. The ceviche however was some of the best I’ve ever tasted. My drink in the other hand was not good. Staff is very nice and attentive though. I would definitely go back for the ceviche.

    I’ve wanted to try this place for several years. I thought it was a small little restaurant, but it’s actually spacious inside with great decor. Felt like we were sitting in a resort by the sea. Food was soooo fresh. Not weighed down by butter & sauces. Ceviche was perfect. The branzino was so fresh. Octopus chips were so savory. Very clean & healthy food, which I like. The jalapeño margarita was small but yummy. I’ll definitely come again to try more!
