    We went early (5 pm) on Valentines Day. Parking was available at this hour thankfully. The restaurant was busy and by 6 pm fully packed. Service was impeccable and the food was good. Amazing happy hour pricing even on a Friday and even on Valentine’s Day. Fresh seafood is notoriously expensive but we were able to eat delicious food and we each had a glass of wine. We escaped for less than $55 before tip. Reel Fish is noisy but we knew that from past experience. This place gets very busy on the weekends. If you can go early, the value is superb. (Happy Hour food and drinks are Tuesday thru Friday until 7 pm).
