You know the food is amazing when you take your whole family of 8 people and everyone finishes their entire plate with not a single fry or grain of rice left! I randomly found this spot one day during lunch but it instantly turned into one of my family's favorite places when we're craving seafood. The servers are so great and attentive. The ambiance is nice and they always have life music on the weekends. I highly recommend the fish & chips as they're probably one of the best I've ever had!! read more

Came here for my birthday and it was so good! I got the surf and turf! Delicious! I Would highly recommend coming here and I would love to come back! I am so full and happy ! :) read more

Consistently excellent. Been back 3 more times and the food is still high quality and inexpensive. Brought my son last night and it was terrific. Had a great singer playing, too. read more

Great place for seafood and their prices are incredibly reasonable! Ask for Light and Happy Hour menu for additional discounts. read more

Love the fish and chips! Super crispy fries, the right size - think McDonalds in terms of thickness. The fish and chips comes with fries and coleslaw. The fish was super tender, outer fried coating was very crispy and adhered to the fish very well. They are very generous with the tarter sauce. At $14, we thought it was a good deal for taste and quantity. However, place loses a star for the clam chowder. The bread bowl was stale. Not what we expected, sadly. The clam chowder was also only lukewarm. The potatoes were odd in that some were cooked and some were underdone. We won't be ordering this again. We'll be back for the fish and chips though and folks here are friendly and the service is fast. The ambiance felt like we were at a seafood joint during vacation. read more

Went to Simply Fish with a small group of four. The service was excellent, the menu has so many options of seafood that can be prepared many different ways and best of all, the cost is very reasonable. Not sure what else to say, other than I will be back this Saturday. read more

The prices here are good, but the quality of the food is low. I visited Sunday 7/23/23. I ordered the tuna sashimi and a taco combo with mahi mahi and fried fish, Black beans and rice. The tuna was ok, but was laying in a bed of oil instead of a soy glaze as I expected. The mahi mahi was dry and overcooked. The fried fish was ok. The Cole slaw mixture on the tacos was dry and had no flavor. The black beans were not blended as I expected and were runny. The grill zucchini was good. The service was poor, they never came to give us a refill and I needed one on my water. I didn't have anything to drink for the second half of my meal. The chopsticks they give out have an odd shape and are extremely difficult to use, especially for someone who isn't an expert. I've never had more difficulty holding chopsticks than these. Overall, I would not eat here again. read more

The food is delicious and I'm Not even a fan of fish' Service is friendly and professional. Music is not bad but not very suitable for the size of the place. Ambiance is cool also. read more

Great new spot in the neighborhood. They are still working out a few kinks as they are new, but I see good things for this restaurant and love the menu options. We ordered the clams, fish and chips and a fish sandwich. Everything was really good but my fish sandwich was a little on the dry side. I'm looking forward to giving it another try and actually eating at the restaurant. It's a really cute place with a lot of seating. read more

Food was excellent. Service was great. Ambiance was nice. My significant other and I went here for the first time recently and got to enjoy some happy hour items as well as the cioppino. We really recommend fish and chips, the batter had a nice light crispiness to it. The filet mignon skewer had the perfect tenderness and was very juicy. The bacon-wrapped shrimp and scallop skewer had a nice charred flavor. The cioppino had a good amount of seafood. The ahi poke appetizer was also delicious. We will definitely be back for happy hour. Highly recommend! read more

So happy with this meal. Everything bombdiggity and reasonably priced!!! Dangerous that it's nearby and they deliver.. ============================== Blackened white fish is bomb Not fishy and large portion, seasoned well Blacked white fish with lemon butter - oh my Idk why the butter sauce has congealed , but my taste buds are flipping out Clam chowder - not as creamy/seafoody tasting as bear flag, but still good in its own way. Better than many other places, still solid ! $6.50ish woohoo Grilled zucchini - Juicy and really satisfying. Black beans -Some spice in these. Would def get again. Corn Some poor soul has shaved off the corn kernels, and sautéed them with yummy seasonings. Or they use it already pre shaved, regardless DELISH Coleslaw I do wish it was colder, but maybe cuz I did Uber eats. Sweet with some raisins mixed in, would prefer more tang, but overall still good. Total price with Uber eats promo was $30! read more

Well, I finally got to stop in and will definitely be back. I came in with my Mom for lunch today. Here is a summary of the visit: You can either order at counter or if emptier the server will come take your order. The ambiance was fun/fresh and I love the floor. I also love blue decor so I was already sold walking in. We shared the steamed clams, ahi poke bowl and crab cakes. I would definitely get the crab cakes again they were light but oh so nicely crispy with a nice sauce! The steamed clams were simple but exactly as they should be with some grilled bread (always a great touch). The only thing off was we realized we should have ordered rice or half and half with the poki bowl.(Rewrite, we were offered the base selection and made the mistake ourselves, the server absolutely let us know there were options!) However, no rice aside the Star was the poki which was fresh and fantastic. Definitely not anything that warranted the loss of a star! I had far to much fun with the soda fountain and the agave vanilla cream soda was amazing! I ended up getting my mom and fiesta ice tea with a splash of mango lemonade. Lots of things I still need to try so I will definitely be back to try the fish and chips, chowder/bisque, scallops, calamari, tacos and more! read more

Took some out town friends for a wonderful dinner . Server was great, food tasty and fun watching the great fishing videos. How it is done.

New spot as of Jan 2023. Located in the shopping center across the street from the Vons and CVS. Restaurant fronts Adams. Upscale casual atmosphere. Three large TVs and a bar that offers beer, wine, and margaritas. You order at the register, they give you a number, and then bring your order to your table. We had a large party with a baby, so they actually took our order at our table, which was nice. Our server Scott was very friendly, funny, and attentive. I tried the poke starter, chowder (bread bowl extra), garlic bread, and blackened Cajun ahi entree (comes with two sides). Everything was great and portions were rather generous, which isn't common with seafood. Reasonably priced, too! read more

Love Simply Fish! The food is delicious, portions are generous, and service is great (thank you, Linda). The restaurant was packed, full of lively conversations. After two visits, my favorite are the ahi tuna poke, Cajun salmon salad, and Brussels sprouts. We'll definitely keep coming back to try more menu offerings. read more

Recently tried this place. Got the Brazilian lobster and the fish & chips. Prices are pretty reasonable. Also like how the music is not super loud like many places. Will definitely return! read more

The food was delicious and deliciously prepared! The service was excellent and attentive. The entertainment of Andrea Miller was very good!

Everything went well!!! My nephews birthday party was held at SFS and the food was amazing. The service was exceptional and the servers were attentive. There was live music by 2 young people singing Beatles songs and some Bob Marley hits. Our group had a great time and the food was excellent as always. I live 45 min away and will make the drive for this great establishment! read more

Food was great, seating was spacious, service was professional, and sociable: our server Scott was overwhelmingly the best server in a long time, he went above and beyond to make sure our party of four was having a great time, he also made great recommendations, went out of his way to make fresh Arnold Palmer's for us, and never once rushed us to get through our meal, but instead treated us with dessert! A great evening, Shout out to the crew, the venue and especially Scott! read more

Fresh seafood with friendly service at great prices! They have live music some days of the week. It can get busy during meal times but the wait hasn't been long the times we went. The steamed clams are great and come in a cool looking pot and the fish and chips are one of the best I've had. read more

My friend and I both got the two taco combo plate that comes with 2 sides and a drink. Both were well enjoyed and the service was good. The menu is very large so it was actually hard to narrow down what to get. I would love to try their soups too. The only but BIG and significant downfall was the VERY LOUD singing by two young girls that made it impossible for anyone to converse with ease. Although people clapped out of kindness those around us concurred when will this stop. The people next to us left abruptly when finished due to the "music" as did we soon after. I have no idea why someone would think people go out to lunch and don't want to talk to the person or people they are with.... Quite strange. This was Sunday so definitely avoid this day and maybe call about other days. The food was good but the environment was very disagreeable and certainly never to be repeated. read more

This place is so delicious, the food is fresh, warm and there are tons of healthy options. They have several specials throughout the week and a happy hour menu. The severs are very polite, attentive and warm. They treat everyone with the upmost respect and check in often to make sure all your needs are met. The restaurant inside reminds me of a seashell store with all the fish hanging on the walls and on the ceiling. It's very blue and feels like being on a fishing boat in the ocean. I was told the owner himself likes to fish and brings fish to the shop. 10/10 would recommend! read more

A friend had recommended this place to me, so I decided to give it a whirl on the first Friday of Lent. I am so glad I did; it was busy, with classy live music, it was very clean and organized with pleasant staff. I ordered the keto white fish dish, it was so amazing and honestly big enough for two portions. If I had to provide any constructive feedback, I wish they: 1) didn't put hot food in plastic takeout containers (leaching micro plastics), and 2) the veggies were organic. I'll definitely be back, but most likely I'll try to dine-in to enjoy the music and avoid microplastics. read more

This place has amazing food and entertainment, came here for the Sunday luau entertainment, we both ordered the mahi mahi, one with teriyaki seasoning and the other with a garlic seasoning. Both were great, also had the plate with grill zucchini and roasted corn...amazing. read more

Let me start with this was a restaurant week visit. Got the pamper your self and with lobster and entrana plate on the side as well. While waiting for the server( which was not long at all) we received a side of the shrimp taquitos. This was a nice touch and they were delicious, Great pairing with the cilantro lime sauce. Next out was the rocking shrimp. If you come here, make sure to give these a try! The food was all perfect and it came out in a timely manner. The staff were great! I didn't catch her name, but a lady came by and made our experience unique. She did not sound like she was trying to tell us the same thing she tells everyone. The owner came by to checking on tables throughout the night. I've been in the food industry for over a decade and places like this are a must try. Not sure if they have live music every night, but when I was here they had a guy playing guitar and added to the atmosphere! read more

The fish and chips are awesome!!!! Service was also great. We got there at 11:30 am for lunch and was seated fast, by 12:30 pm it was packed. My friend had salmon and she thought it was very good as well. Great lunch spot! read more

Food and service are good. The only downside is the bread bowls are too small, and it only holds about 3-4 spoonfuls of soup in it, also not worth the money it was charged for. Other than that, we have no other complaints. read more

My husband and I saw this on Facebook. Service was awesome. Waiter explained the different lobsters they had. Food was great. Brazilian lobster tails are a must. We both ate the lobster, but took the rest of food home. They are big portions. Went for lunch but would like to go back for dinner and entertainment. read more

Did not answer the phone for a pickup order. Understaffed the three guys that were here only one of them knew what he was doing. Had to tell the waiter four times what I wanted to order. Awful management needs to keep an eye on their employees they're terrible read more

All the food we tried has been very tasty. Customer service is wonderful. Online order is very easy. Definitely a return customer!!

Linda was amazing and so patient with me even though I was slow and a pain in the bass. She made it a great experience and was very kind! Food was amazing and I loved the agave vanilla drink. Nothing beats a well made taco with red cubes of ahi. Really loved the warm lighting lamp as well. It's the small things that matter in life. Also please take into consideration my TV suggestion, I think it is quite creative. read more

Delicious seafood here! The breaded scallops were a nice appetizer. The blackened Cajun mahi Mahi was really flavorful. The warm seafood salad was fine, but you have to be careful when chewing because there might be tiny shell pieces. We had a really cool and nice server. Overall it was a great place for seafood. read more

There are plenty of reasons why we continue to dine at Simply Fish. Service is consistently good. Alex took excellent care of us and made us feel like frequent guests...which we are not. Their menu boasts the best fish'n chips in the OC. It's a legit claim. We tried the Taco Tuesday special and found the Ahi and fried fish tacos to be delicious. If you're looking for good service and food at a reasonable place, Simply Fish is for you! Cheers? read more

A mutual friend told me about this place and the story of a fisherman opening his own restaurant. I will say that I was not dissapointed. The food is great quality and reasonably priced for the amount you get. I had the white fish and the lobster with filet mignon skewers in the couple times i've been here and I must say the food is great. The service is great however in terms of the ambiance and the restaurant layout, I thought it was more of a Order at the counter and collect your meal when your number gets called up so entering at first was a little confusing. Other than that the food is great, I highly reccommend it. read more

Everything was excellent. Will definitely return. You get what you pay for. Not cheap, but totally worth the price.
