I've been to Wildfish multiple times for business dinners - everyone is very happy with the food, especially the fresh fish. Fish preparations allow the fish to be the star of the plate, rather than being hidden under a heavy sauce. Ask to eat outside - the back patio is quieter and away from the parking.

Having read all the positive reviews,I had to see for myself. The most amazing was our server. Daniel,changed it from going out for a meal, to a dining experience. From suggesting cocktails, to expaining the food, how it's prepared, and just being entertaining, had a wonderful time. I had the halibut special (the server's recommendation. The fish had a golden... More

Just celebrated my husband's birthday this past week at Wildfish. We were not disappointed. The fish selections were fresh, the service was fantastic (thank-you Jasmine), and the flavors of everything that we ordered were wonderful. A bit pricey so it won't be a weekly place to dine; however, it is a great place for a special evening out.

The food was excellent. I had the sautéed grouper. My wife had the Lemon sole. My brother had the scallops. We had the crab fried rice, the Brussel sprouts, the truffled Mac and cheese and the Parmesan French fries. The service was great. I would return here for seafood.

I've been here many times for Happy Hour (excellent if you can get in!). Last Sat was my husband's and my second visit for dinner and it did not disappoint. The service is always excellent. They make a really good martini and some nice wine choices. Food quality (steak or fish) has been very good with excellent preparations. Had the... More

We went on a Sunday night after reading online reviews & since we weren't super hungry decided to eat in the bar. We were surprised to learn that sun/mon is happy hour all night. They had specialty drinks for $6 & many great appetizer choices. We had the salt & pepper shrimp, crispy cashew calamari & tartare ahi. Everything was... More

Came here with a date after reading many good reviews and craving some salmon. The hostess and the servers were amazing and gave great service, the vibe was cool, lots of newporters and I thought I was in for a treat! When my salmon arrived I immediately noticed it smelled fishy! I was very disappointed! I tried it and it... More

I usually order the seabass this time i ordered filet, perfection. Basil martini, twice-baked potato just added to a great experience.

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our evening here. Warm and inviting decor, good lighting, and outstanding personnel. Truly pleasant! We loved the lobster and shrimp bisque, lemon sole, and the truffled scallops. We highly recommend.
