Stumbled on this gem at 8pm and enjoyed the wonderful restaurant. Atmosphere, staff and food, etc. You can watch the cooks prepare your fish through an open window. Aquariums with salt water fish (unfortunately there were very few of only 2 species) surround the restaurant giving entertainment while you eat. This is a restaurant that should not be overlooked.

The sourdough bread was excellent. The service was attentive and cheerful. However, these could not make up for the short comings of everything else. For the price one would expect nice ambiance, the place not to reek, carpet that isn't threadbare and furniture that isn't dated. Also the view of Ynez and the car lots is sad. The selection of...

I will keep this short and sweet. Been going to Fish House Vera Cruz since it opened. I have NEVER had a bad meal, and satisfied. Great selection of fresh fish, wonderful Sourdough Rolls, and the Clam Chowder is simply delicious! I call or stop by when it's Ceviche time at my house. You can't find Halibut any fresher than...

We went to fish house with my mom and two boys. I had been craving the vera cruz shrimp cocktail. I was surprised to see that it now is served with bay shrimp. I had gotten it previously and was delicious served with the prawns. Disappointing change. Also noticed there were hardly any fish in the tank next to us... More

Great food, atmosphere and the staff was superb. There is also a fish market as part of the restaurant. The menu is extensive which I really liked. The staff is not afraid to give suggestions on a meal. There is a nice secluded patio area. Beautiful fish aquariums throughout the restaurant. A must stop if you're in the area!

We ate there the other night and were over charged for what we received and it came with a manager with an attitude. We had... More

Is this a chain and why is the one in Carlsbad so lousy, right by the beach, where inland restaurants are better quality?
