  Went there for dinner 3 of us. Two orders of the scallops basket 1 pizza with lobster. The scallops were way overcooked and very dry. The pizza was worse. It wasn't fully cooked and crust was very soggy. When I tried to pay bill they couldn't find waitress so I had to wait until they could find waitress. Overall the worst food and service I have ever had in any restaurant.

  The location and outdoor setup are definitely the highlights here. The place looks great from the outside and has a really nice atmosphere, but unfortunately, the service and drinks were disappointing. Service was a little slow during our visit. Our group ordered appetizers and asked for small plates, but the food runners never came back with them. We were nearly finished eating by the time our server was able to come back with the plates. It wasn’t a huge issue, but the overall service could have been a little more attentive. Food was enjoyable. The drinks were another issue. Several people in our group ordered three rounds of Island Refreshers, and somehow they were made differently every time. The first had an orange garnish, the second had mint, and all of them tasted like they contained very little alcohol. One person ordered a mule and was served one made with tequila instead. We didn’t bother sending it back because we weren’t looking to make a big deal out of it, but it was still disappointing. At $14 each, the drinks were served in plastic cups with a significant amount of melted ice and simply weren’t worth the price. I understand paying a premium for a location close to the beach, but the combination of the price and quality made it hard to justify ordering more. The location and atmosphere are great, but based on our experience, the drinks and service could use some improvement. We ultimately decided not to order dinner because of the experience.

  I had a disturbing experience 7/14/2026. While enjoying the outdoor dining in the evening with my family, we witnessed a bizarre scene. Out of the employee entrance behind the bar a man stormed out with such violence, he slammed into a waitress, knocking over a dray of drinks, door almost shot off hinges, and stormed to the back bar register. After checking the register he then stormed back into the restaurant and slammed an interior door so hard the glass broke. Screaming profanities. I assume he was some type of manager as there was no reaction from the staff except being stunned! No wonder they have difficulty with service if this is the leadership! I felt terrible for the waitress. I have been back without incident, but this scene will stay with me a very long tine! All those young employees working so hard this summer. I have no idea who this man was.

  We visited Fish Company recently and had a mixed experience. The place has a nice vibe — the music was solid and kept the energy up, and the drinks/alcohol selection was genuinely good. Cocktails were well-made, and the bar service was solid. Unfortunately, the food fell way short, especially the chicken wings we ordered. They were extremely dry and overcooked — you could literally see the bones because the skin had pulled back so much. It looked like they had been fried multiple times before serving. The texture was tough and unappetizing. We also tried the spicy version, which was indeed very spicy, but the dryness made them hard to enjoy either way. Overall, the atmosphere and drinks were decent, but the food quality (at least the wings) was a big disappointment. If you’re going mainly for drinks and a good soundtrack, it might work. For solid food, I’d look elsewhere. Rating: 2.5 / 5 (drinks and music carried it; food dragged it down)
