    That was as 15/10 experience. What a treat. We came to celebrate a big promotion for my lovely fiancee, so I booked this reservation with Capital One dining. They gave us an amazing seat, and explained everything to us. We ended up trying Jose's tasting menu, and wow. Small plates brought out as they are ready, and everything was so fresh and delicious. The drinks were top notch, especially the salt air margarita, and the floral cloud. Just trust me, not only do they taste great, but these drinks are an experience. I could go on and on about how well everything went and how well everything tasted. Paul was an amazing host, and explained every dish as it came it. Truly a meal and experience meant for a celebration.

    BAR MAR? Try SUB PAR..... We thought we would give the Happy Hour Menu a whirl....The minute you walk in they require your tel # and name. I don't care for that intrusive practice. Happy hour menu : Choice of 4 or 5 apps Bravas looks like low end long tater tots and tasted as such.. And resembled the other appetiser offering: the chicken coquettes minus the bechamel dots. Also visually unappealing. Same baby food consistency inside. The Cerviche was also uninteresting, un seasoned served with 6 equally bland plantain chips for dipping. Cardboard would have had more flavour. Service was entirely adequate. Terribly underwhelmed and overcharged with respect to the food. I expected far more. The peach sangria was the only silver lining here. Though that was 86d around 5:40pm. No wonder they have a sandwich board outside trying to lure people in. My summation: : What an absolute bust and overpriced rip off. Two of the five apps look basically look the same. There was no party in your mouth here sadly.

The potatoes were noticeably undercooked, the corn was stale, and the egg had a strange rubbery texture. I didn't bother trying the sausage. The shrimp was tough, and the crab seemed old and lacked flavor despite the seasoning. Overall, the flavor felt more oil/butter-based than seasoned throughout the seafood, especially compared with similar seafood spots. Since everything comes pre-seasoned, there's also very little customization. My mom can't have salt or pepper and normally gets plain seafood with butter, but that wasn't an option here. The restaurant itself is clean and nice, but the food was not worth nearly $100 for two platters. I had considered trying this place before and noticed it was always empty. I should have trusted that first impression. The flavor is not bad for the seasoning but the food itself left a lot to be desired.

We came here for late dinner, 8.30 and this place was not packed which is very surprising, bc they play music jazz music, and you can have a lovely dinner and still hear ppl talk. But the best thing is their pork chop !!! This is a must get. Thank me later. We got the pork chop medium well bc we like our pork more cooked bc ain't no one trying to get salmonella from undercooked pork. But it was sooo good, has a nice char on the outside, and perfectly seasoned. Additionally, it sits on top of a bed of allegedly "rice" according to our server. But to me, it reminded me of a tendon brisket texture. I would've bet money on it too. But delicious with sweet peach sauce that came with it. For the prime rib, it was a huge cut of meat, but it was lacking flavor, needed some more salt and some rosemary to bring out the meat. Both main dishes can serve 2 people each, so worth the price and food. Definitely come back! And a shout out to our server Cole, who was great

The deals…read morethey have for happy hour are definitely still on the pricier side as wine was $7 and cocktails around $12. We sat at the bar. Service was fast and friendly. I didn't actually love the wine I got but that's probably more personal preference. They did have two red options though.

Only thing I wasn't a fan of was the too sweet cocktail sauce. Bartender was great and they make a perfect martini as well. Mike: I'm torn here with my favorite oysters from Seaworthy in NOLA. I'm a sucker for good oysters and mignonette sauce and these were on point giving an easy 5 for the review! The lobster roll was amazing, but those are Rox's jam, not as much mine.

You walk in and can see the raw bar and part of the kitchen. All of the staff welcomed us in and were very friendly. The restaurant feels like a fish market with the open concept. I liked how it was nice and high quality food and drinks, without being too fancy. That makes it so much easier to enjoy a good meal without dressing to the Ts. I opted out of getting a drink this time, but they had three Floyd's canned beer which my boyfriend ordered. It was good and they did serve it with a glass which is always appreciated. We both ordered the grouper sandwich (mine with no bun) and then shared the hamachi crudo. The crudo was delicious, but the hibiscus sauce was slightly over powering in my opinion. I really liked the sauce, I just prefer to be able to taste the fish a little bit more. The fish itself was very good. The group was huge! (Yes we both ate the entire thing). That "Florida sauce" they serve with it is a game changer. Might have to order more to go next time. Definitely will be back to Fishmonger! This time with a reservation!

    If you're looking for a restaurant that puts seafood front and center, put this place on your list!…read moreIt can get busy, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. No reservation? Don't worry, you may be able to grab a seat at the beautiful bar when you walk in. The atmosphere is fantastic. There's great music playing softly in the background, and as you look around, you realize you're dining inside a beautifully renovated old warehouse. Here's a little inside history: the building was once used to make handles for old hammers and axes. Look closely at some of the beams and you can actually see the hammer marks! Okay, enough history, let's talk drinks! I started with an Old Fashioned made with Sazerac Rye Bourbon. It was very good and served with clear ice, which is always a good sign. My only complaint? They used a red cherry instead of a Maraschino cherry. They definitely need to step up their Old Fashioned game! They also made a great Dirty Martini, or as I like to call it, a "Dirty & Skanky Martini." Now for the food! We started with the Spanish Octopus, which was absolutely delicious. The Bluefin Belly was very good, and the Corn-Milk Hush Puppies were SOOOO good! We also tried the Summer Squash, which was another great addition to the meal. For my entrees, I went with the Wild Striped Bass, WOW! Amazing flavor, and check out the Jonah Crab on top! I also tried the Grilled Swordfish with Brisket Marmalade, and that was another winner. The combination of flavors was fantastic! And I have to give a big shout-out to the service. Everyone was amazing, attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. If you're visiting Nashville, or you live here, put this place on your list! Great atmosphere, creative seafood dishes, excellent service, and some really memorable food. I'll definitely be back!

The striped bass was good with a nice Jonah crap beurre blanc sauce. Cocktail had a good clear ice large cube presentation and a good balance of bourbon, rye amaro and bitters. I don't live in Nashville but would come back to this place when I returned. The waitress mentioned the octopus as a stand-out which I will try next time.

I had 1/2 dozen raw oysters to start. My server helped me select which one we thought I would like best and they were amazing with the migionette. So fresh & cold & delicious. My son got the crispy brussels sprouts for his starter and devoured them. They were delicious with the best balance of flavors & textures. Also a nice generous portion. Wedge salad was so tasty.

They were packed when we arrived for our reservation and we were sat right away! The waitress was so kind and went over the menu and how they do there meats after knowing this was our first time at there. They have a butcher on site, their seafood is brought in daily and house made pasta. She said they even have a pastry chef. But we didn't make it to dessert this time. We ordered the cornbread appetizer that comes with hot honey and whipped butter. It's served in a little dish like a cake. It was tender with whole corn on the inside. We didn't realize they also bring complementary gluten-free cheese, puffs turnovers, and mini biscuits . Those were out of this world!! The cheese puffs pull apart and have white cheddar inside! The biscuits were perfect!! Our main course was the club carbonara pasta( house made pasta with chicken and bacon) and the steak frites (with chimichurri sauce). I got the Sauvignon Blanc it was fruity and fresh! The place was upscale and seemed to be a lot of larger parties. We will definitely be back.
