- SSusanvipSan Diego •29 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoLove this restaurant! The service is outstanding, it is bright and cheerful inside and the food is great. We had four for lunch and all of our meals were prepared to perfection. I had the catch of the day sandwich which happened to be halibut. I chose the fries over the salad as my side and the fries were just as I like them, crispy of the outside and soft on the inside. My friends had fish and chips, oysters, caesar salad and baja fish tacos. I highly recommend this restaurant!More infoThe FisheryPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Pacific Beach•4.7
- VVincentvipWashington, D.C. Area •71 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoIncredible! We started with the sushi-grade Hot Oil Seated Salmon and the Whipped Buttermilk Ricotta with charred bread for dipping. We also had the Roasted Chinese Eggplant sitting on lemon yogurt and pine nuts that had the appearance of sushi and the taste of beautifully seasoned eggplant. We also had the juicy cheeseburger special which had perfect fries.More infoKettner ExchangePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Little Italy•4.7
- JJoAnnvipSan Diego •4 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoUnmatched hospitality! The server was knowledgeable about the food and able to describe them well. We didn’t have great luck with the clams, they were very chewy & overcooked but the broth was delicious. They took it back and a sweet manager, (I’m forgetting names) sent a hamachi that was to die for! Everything else that hit the table was delicious and we were very impressed. The bubbly and celebration desert was super appreciated as well. Honestly made my birthday dinner feel extra special, some places really don’t go the extra mile but they sure know how to impress.More infoHerb & WoodPrice: Expensive• Californian• Little Italy•4.7
