Vernick Fish is an absolute must to experience. The service is beyond stellar. The servers vary so often that you have no idea who is dedicated to you, however that is the plus because the courtesy is seamless. The chef needs to either be fired for doing such a good job, or the Michelin board should just give him the star that he deserves. The decor is so elegant that you feel like your in the clouds, all while you're on the ground. The drink menu is clearly curated in such a way that it pairs perfectly with your taste buds. Lastly, the kitchen staff is vibrant, happy, and engaged to produce an 18 star experience. Shout out to the chef, and the rest of this amazing staff for giving this place a reason to be a staple in the city. read more

Showed up early for our reservations and they had no issues seating us, slightly slower evening. Pretty place. We were given complimentary couple gulps of Champagne to celebrate my birthday, as well as a chocolate cake for dessert. Nice touch. Food is outstanding. Fresh crude and oysters phenomenal . . . scallop and whole fish dish superb. Food is expensive, and so is the wine list, my only gripe is few wines under $100 a bottle. Nice experience. read more

It's either incompetence or discrimination. Stopped by at 830 because I saw some seats open on OpenTable. Arrived and said no rsvp, they said you can find a seat at the bar. Looked around for a seat and no seats available for our party, came back and asked if they can put us on a waiting list and asked if they are truly booked? Short white host lady at front said yes fully booked and we have no waiting list. Her tone was condescending and dismissive. Another host interjected and said we can wait for a bar seat to open. We waited and a bar seat opened. I checked OpenTable and plenty of open seats at counter and high top tables which i observed were empty. It's confounding that the short white host lady said they were fully booked for the night but it may be true and the guests have not arrived yet. I proceed with ordering drinks and food at the bar while observing the empty tables. I thought maybe the OpenTable system is wrong. The food was overall good and above average and the bartenders were prompt and kind. The scallops was kinda plain but it was executed well. The scoops of icecream was on point, didn't disappoint but also didn't excite. I stayed here throughout dinner because I was too lazy to go to another restaurant. But honestly I was pissed throughout my meal as I observed tables empty when the host told me they were fully booked. And so, in conclusion it's either incompetence or discrimination for not allowing me a seat at other parts of the restaurant and forcing me to sit at the bar, which I honestly don't mind but it comes down to principal. Don't restaurants know that first impression is everything, and the host is the first person to interact with you. I'll not be going back and do not recommend this restaurant. read more

Great food! Everything I had was exceptional down to the complementary bread. Unfortunately or fortunately, many of the menu options change on a regular basis, so the lobster and blue crab fried rice that totally blew my socks off may not be on the menu for long. The scallops were also very good, although the portion size is probably too small for it to work as a main meal. The restaurant is pretty spacious, especially compared to Vernick Food and Drink, and has an overall nice and quiet ambience. Looking forward to returning! read more

Vernick Fish - Espresso martinis, passion fruit mango sorbet and key lime tart - Seafood Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

One of my favorite restaurants in Philly. It has absolutely delicious seafood options and every bite is thought out perfectly by the chef. The inside is beautifully decorated too. When I made a reservation here, I could only get a spot at the bar. Do not be strayed away because the bar seating was awesome. We got to watch the chefs at work - shucking oysters, etc. If you are dining for 2, this is a great option. The waitress had a wonderful suggestion for our wine too. It paired perfectly with the dishes we selected. Looking forward to coming back here when I am in town again! read more

The dining arrangements are somewhat unusual here but also quite pleasant. The room is large (142 seats) and bustling; but because of its length and narrow width, you don't feel crowded or closed in. Tables stretch in a leisurely array past the zinc-top bar and open kitchen, eventually spilling into the space at the rear that is generally reserved for private parties. The piped-in classic rock may not be to everyone's taste, but it certainly adds an energetic note to the proceedings. The service also deserves mention. Our server was attentive without being annoyingly solicitous... he made eye contact with all three members of our dining party... and he was obviously intimately acquainted with the menu. But on to more important matters... Chef Greg Vernick's cuisine titillates the palate under four main headings - Raw, Small Plates, Large Plates, and Desserts - plus a number of side dishes. Among the small plates, you discover such worthwhile starters as Spaghetti with Blue Crab and Crispy Octopus, along with a nod to landlubbers: Endive & Baby Gem Salad splashed with tarragon vinaigrette... But, as far as our party was concerned, the Marinated Shrimp on a seabed of shredded napa cabbage & Thai basil sprinkled with peanuts appeared to be the star of the show... That is, until the incredible Broiled Oysters Philadelphia (pictured) hit the table. Gently caressed by breadcrumbs seasoned with Genoa salami & provolone cheese and presented in a cast-iron tray usually reserved for escargot, they were a superb feast for both eye and palate. When it came to the large plates, it wasn't long before overchoice (also known as choice overload) - a term first introduced by Alvin Toffler in his 1970 book Future Shock - reared its ugly head. Not that there were too many possibilities... but all five of the seafood options looked so good that it was difficult to come to a decision. The other gentleman in our party opted for the appetizer of Tuna Tartare as his main course. My dining partner thought about the Blackened Sea Scallops, but she decided to pass... I briefly considered the Panko-Crusted Swordfish with Korean/kimchi flair but did likewise. We also considered sharing the Whole Roasted Branzino, but the tomato & watermelon salad, yogurt & pine nut relish didn't ring any bells. Dover Sole, a special unlisted on the printed menu, is always a favorite; but since we had enjoyed this delicacy at a recent luncheon, we decided to pass on that as well. We finally agreed upon the Grilled Black Sea Bass (pictured). And a very wise choice, I might add. Especially since the accoutrements - tomato sauce, gold bar squash & crispy eggplant - proved to be perfect complements. If Vernick Fish has a weakness, however, it is surely their desserts - Chocolate Espresso Cake, Key Lime Pie, Marscapone Cheesecake, Peach & Almond Tart (pictured) - which are basically standard issue. Were they bad? No... but, given the carefully crafted dishes that had preceded them, we expected a great deal more in the sweet endings department... and it simply was not forthcoming. And this, unfortunately, placed a decidedly negative pall over what - up until this point - had been an extremely rewarding evening at table. I say this because Mr. Vernick would do well to remember that the last thing diners experience within restaurant precincts is likely to be the first thing they remember. The restaurant's bar does turn out some pretty spiffy cocktails; and the bartender obviously knows his stuff, as my Vesper Martini was right on the money. There is also a very nice international wine list... However, the wines by the glass - quality as well as quantity - leave a great deal to be desired. read more

Amazing food with a not-so-bad price! Everything was beautiful. I had the branzino, which was spectacular! The service was amazing too!

Had a quick business lunch and pleasantly surprised at how good this was. Cost a bit more but the chicken sandwich and home made fries were outstanding. Crispy with perfect complement of sauce and seasons. The wait staff was professional, quick and not overdone. Conversation, though close proximity with other tables, was private and easy listening. Will go back again with more time to explore the other options on the menu. Great option. read more

We had Long Island Iced teas and seafood galore* This place is the best. *crispy octopus, tuna tartare, salmon crudo, shrimp cocktail and the Caesar salad!!! Wow so delicious and the service was attentive. The long islands were hilarious and delicious; off putting at first, they are well worth the price tag read more

I sat at the bar with an old friend, catching up. We were a bit stunned by the prices but quickly forgot as we were treated like queens by the absolutely fabulous and friendly bartenders and staff - I only got Jon's name. We didn't feel rushed nor judged by our careful ordering. The food was incredible -sardine toasts! Buratta salad! Crisp rosé! Yum! Was just lovely! read more

My family and I joined Vernick for Thanksgiving this year, which was a fantastic decision! The restaurant is lively and festive, without being loud or overwhelming. We had a reservation for a high top, but were able to get a seat in the dining room, which was great. Our waiter was perfect from start to finish. He was friendly, knew the menu very well, and even threw in some free desserts when they were out of the desserts we initially wanted. The food, of course, was exquisite. I had the salt and pepper octopus, hiramasa crudo, and jerk marinated fried snapper. Thanks Vernick for being a wonderful place to celebrate Thanksgiving! read more

This was the top meal I've had thus far in 2024. For starters, the ambience was sexy and trendy, without being over the top. The music selection and lighting were a perfect backdrop to dinner. My server, Corey, was patience and offered excellent recommendations. It's always a positive when your server is excited about the food he's presenting. The food: AMAZING. Scallops were divine. Meaty, sweet, with the perfect crust. The broiled oysters were a flavor bomb. 6 was just right, but I could've had a dozen more. The jerk marinated red snapper entree was absolutely delectable. Salty, crispy, spice, and umami all in one dish. The smoked Hollandaise and truffle combined with the fingerling Potatoes was heavenly. The South Hampton iced tea was one of the most unique cocktails I've ever tasted. Even the dessert, dark chocolate sorbet, was decadent and rich in flavor. Needless to say, whenever I'm in Philly, I'll be back. Hats off to the staff. read more

This review is long overdue. However, I not allow the year to close without acknowledging the most unique and exciting culinary experience I had in 2023. One knows as they approach the doors of the Four Seasons they are about to enter a different universe of luxury. Jeff Leatham, the Artistic Director, immediately captures your attention and senses with an elegant floral presentation in the lobby. The space that is Vernick Fish has a sophistication and elevated ambiance that does not disappoint. Each food and drink item was a mesmerizing taste experience. Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable about which wines paired best with all of our selections. To further add to the immersive culinary art experience, the upbeat, retro playlist was AWESOME!! Who would have expected to hear... A Taste of Honey's Boogie Oogie Oogie lol?! There are a lot of upscale dining choices in Philadelphia. Vernick Fish captures all of your senses and you leave feeling happy! Kudos to Chef Greg Vernick and his amazing staff!! read more

Everything at Vernick Fish is right. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive but not hovering. The food....fuhgeddaboudit...crispy octopus was the best bite of the night, impossibly tender with a light crunch. Hubs had an oyster sampler, all delicious. Blacken scallops were great. Everything on the menu looked good. Oh, the desserts! We had a key lime pie for two & a scoop of chocolate sorbet. Yup, unapologetically, two desserts. Totally worth it. Sublime key lime & definitely more than enough for two, especially if you have a second dessert with it! Pricey for sure but we were celebrating our anniversary. read more

beautifully decorated restaurant on the first floor of four seasons! the food here is solid. we ordered a couple appetizers to start, and my favorite was the hiramasa tatare which went perfectly with the potato chips. the salmon crudo was mid, i would not order it again. for my main, i had the swordfish milanese sandwich which was absolutely delicious and filling. i was pleasantly surprised by the size, it definitely could have been two meals. my friends ordered the branzino and the yellowfin tuna rice bowl which they enjoyed (though the portion size wasn't as large). all the seafood tasted quite fresh! one thing to keep in mind is that in the summer, this restaurant is absolutely freezing. i got there early and had to ask my friend who was running late to grab me one of her jackets because i was so cold i had goosebumps. definitely bring a jacket! service was alright, but we were celebrating a birthday, and there were some discrepancies between what we were told over the phone vs what were told in person. this restaurant is definitely quite expensive, and for the price, i would have expected more overall. the food is good, but not particularly exciting. i think there are more affordable places with food just as delicious. read more

How this place doesn't receive all five star reviews is stunning to me. We went once. It was spectacular. Starting with the staff, everyone was knowledgeable and friendly. Tom, our server and Sal (¿Saul?) the busser/runner were great. The food? Outrageous. Shrimp cocktail: One of the most flavorful shrimp I've ever eaten, seasoned beautifully. Salmon tartar: Perfect flavors, super fresh fish. Fried octopus: Best way to describe it is chicken karage meets octopus. Exceptional. Spaghetti: My least favorite and I still ate it all up. Very good, great crab. Scallops: So rich, so flavorful! Cod: Light broth, lots of flavor. Eggplant Katsu: Possibly the best dish of all? We considered getting a second one for "dessert." All in all, an amazing experience. Highly recommended!! read more

Absolutely amazing! Had the best time here. Heard great things and didn't disappoint. The service and staff here were amazing, knowledgeable, and eager to please. The food was DELICIOUS, though be prepared to pay the $$$ because it is quite hefty (though WORTH IT). Fish will be deboned and they can do more for you at table-side! And the vibe is 10/10 with the feels of an upscale summery restaurant. Great for dates! Parking might be tough though it could be found close by if you know where to look. Go here already if you haven't! read more

Wow. That's the perfect word to describe my experience at Vernick Fish. I was expecting great things, yet they still blew me away with their service and cuisine. The halibut was the best fish I've ever had hands down -- coated with panko and seared in brown butter so it practically melts in your mouth. It's a bit of a splurge, but if you have any reason to celebrate you should do it here. read more

I finally made it to Vernick Fish - we went for lunch yesterday. I had reviewed the menu prior to going and was intrigued by the Swordfish Milanese sandwich. I had to have it - when have you ever seen fried swordfish? It was so delicious - from the crunchy, yet fluffy roll, to the fresh basil salsa verde with arugula and heirloom tomato. The fish was perfectly fried - crispy, tender and flavorful. The sandwich did have a spicy heat - which was a surprise, yet welcomed. However, I'm adverse to a strong heat and while this was fine (medium) - there should have been an indication it was spicy. My friend had the Yellowfin Tuna Rice bowl, which I tasted. The tuna was so fresh and melted in my mouth. It was a very tasty dish. read more

Vernick Fish - Hari harmony swizzle - Seafood Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Dinner at the original Vernick is to this day one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had. I don't live in Philly anymore, but anytime I visit I make sure to go out in the city at least once. As soon as Vernick Fish opened, it shot up to the top of my list, but we had to wait for the right occasion to present itself. The family was visiting home for a holiday this past weekend so my parents made a reservation for the five us. Everything about Vernick Fish exudes elegance, from its location in the Four Seasons to the sprawling space, to the ultra refined cuisine. This is a seafood lover's dream, though in a real dream there would be no check to pay. We came here at 8pm as a party of 5 on a Saturday night. I live in New York, so I'm used to dining in restaurants that are the size of a shoebox or two. Walking back through the Four Seasons you'll find yourself in a tastefully glamorous space, with high ceilings, beautiful and modern light fixtures, and a long, exposed kitchen. We sat with our menus for a bit too long before someone finally came over to take our order, which meant a lot of time for deliberation (which for me just looks like maniacally going back and forth between 2-3 drinks because my brain makes it a life or death deicision. I ended up going with the Primavera Sour (banhez mezcal, hayman's old tom gin, thai basil, lemon) which is unlike me because I tend to prefer spirit-forward drinks, but this one felt like a solid one to start with. Part of my concern with going for sours is that I worry they'll be too sweet, but this was barely sweet and more herbal/citrusy, which was a nice surprise. Even those of our party who ordered tropical-looking drinks commented that they weren't as sweet as those types of drink tend to be. I then got a glass of wine, the Fitapreta (indigenous grape blend, Alentejo, Portugal), which was fantastic and a favorite at our table. Dining with a large group is always fun for me because I get to try more. For this meal, my husband and I split a bunch of stuff just between us but we also got to try a few veggie dishes that were ordered for the table. As a lover of seafood it was pretty challenging to narrow down our options because everything here looks so good. Eats, below: Hiramasa Crudo w/ grilled pineapple, jalapeño, mint: A Light and delicious, faintly tropical flavors, a little fruity and just a teeny bit spicy. Sea Bream Crudo w/ avocado, white grapefruit A+ This was recommended by our server and several of us ended up ordering it after hearing his high marks. The complete bite with all components is just masterful, this coming from someone who tends not to enjoy citrus. Endive & Baby Gem salad w/ tarragon vinaigrette: A- The least exciting dish of the night but we wanted to get our veggie fix. If I could do it over I just would've stuck with the veggie sides because they were both excellent. This was still very good, just not memorable. Crispy Octopus w/ lemongrass aioli, cucumber, cilantro: A+ Probably a tie with the sea bream for our favorite dish of the night. The octopus was just slightly crispy, something about the texture and flavor lent by the crispiness went so perfectly with the lemongrass aioli. Light but also rich and savory, somehow. Grilled Broccolini w/ romesco, ajo blanco, lemon zest: A+ Broccolini is definitely one of my favorite veggies. Overall just a fantastic blend of textures and flavors. Asparagus w/ pine nut & arugula pesto, sorrel: A Another delicious veg with a nice earthiness coming from the pesto and sorrel. Grilled Black Sea Bass w/ kimchi broth, soy marinated egg, daikon, pea leaves: A Black sea bass with Asian-inspired flavors is always a win for me. Like the octopus, this dish was both light and savory, with delicate flavors that highlighted the fish. read more

The food at Vernick Fish is a dream! I had a birthday dinner here and it was everything I wanted and more. All of the dishes were so tasty, but the tuna tartare was elite and the best of the evening by far. It's served on their house made bread which is surprisingly soft with the perfect amount of char. The tuna itself was marinated, flavorful, and fresh. The sea urchin, sesame, chili pepper, and green onion made every bite bold and exciting to eat. Can't say enough good things about it. The octopus was probably the most tender I've ever had! The broiled oysters were little crispy 'nduja flavor bombs. The cauliflower was perfectly cooked and offered some nice acidity and sweetness. The potato rösti was textbook with lots of richness from the truffle and béarnaise. The yellowtail was subtle, but very fresh. The little chocolate cookie they serve with the espresso was delightful. It was so chocolatey, buttery, and salty, I loved it. The coconut and passionfruit tart was the best dessert I've had in a while! It wasn't too sweet, which is hard to find in the US. If you like passionfruit and coconut, I definitely recommend it. The cranberry sorbet was lovely and acidic and a great end to the meal. I thought the drinks were nice! The scotch drink was my favorite. The service was good, especially the bussers who were super efficient. The staff didn't rush us at all and spaced the dishes perfectly. It's a nice restaurant inside - it's in a hotel so it has that vibe, but it's big and open with lots of windows and a bar area where you can watch the chefs work. If you want good seafood in Philly, head to Vernick Fish! And get the tuna tartare :) read more

Are you kidding me? Our new favorite restaurant - impeccable service, atmosphere, and food - we go to Philly just for Vernick

The restaurant had a chic atmosphere that was very relaxing and not overly upscale (not off-putting). Staff were very friendly and helpful with the menu. The food was fantastic, we had the oysters, yellowfin tuna tartare, octopus, halibut, cabbage and coconut cream pie. The star of the show for us was the yellowfin tuna tartare, the flavor was incredible. The raw and small plate portions were plenty big enough to share between two people. read more

Still a Vernick Fish fan, though they have now taken the best key-lime pie I've ever had off the menu AND they no longer serve the addicting seaweed butter with their house-baked slightly-sourdough bread (replaced with a lighter lemon whipped butter). That said, they still offer great service, a lovely space, and delicious cocktails and mocktails (latter aren't on the beverage menu, so ask!). Some food favorites from this most-recent visit: Raw - king salmon crudo, roasted pineapple, lime, mint Small Plates - crispy royal red shrimp (enoki mushroom, smoked chili) Sides - marinated cucumber (sesame, scallion, chili), grilled asparagus (parmesan, black pepper, lemon), crispy potato (bearnaise, pickled shallot) Dessert - marscapone cheesecake read more

This is an upscale restaurant for fish that has a very cool vibe. The weight staff is completely knowledgeable about the menu and can make terrific recommendations. I was really pleased with the cocktail selection and the menu has a lot of variety. We decided to share our meal, it was my husband and I and our two sons who are athletic young men. We ordered four appetizers and four mains plus an order of rice. I will say that it's quite pricey and the portions are not large. I didn't leave hungry, but I did spend a lot. I thought the ceviche was one of the best things. They also had a terrific Sea breen on the menu. Our joke at the end of the night was about the complementary bread that we had to ask for three times. Also, this is in the four seasons building so make sure to take the elevator upstairs and get the terrific views from the top! It's really pretty up there sort of a Vegas like vibe and the cocktails will cost you $25 a pop. read more

Had lunch here with friends today and it was wonderful. They started us with bread and brown butter, which I forgot to photograph until after we dug in, but I'd never seen butter served that way, so took a picture anyway. I had the scallops crudo, which had a wonderful flavor and perfect texture. I was glad there was a piece of bread left so I could soak up the rest of the sauce. I also had the crispy potatoes, which were indeed crispy, and there was plenty to share. Sent home the leftovers along with part of my friend's sandwich. One of the friends had the shrimp salad, which she let us all taste. I liked the crunch in the salad. The other friend had the swordfish sandwich, which she also let us taste. The fish was cooked nicely and it was a good choice of bread, but a little spicy for my taste. Service was excellent. I like when water is always refilled before it's all gone. A surprise at the end of the meal was a small portion of chocolate mousse, which I hadn't seen mentioned in the reviews I read. We asked the server if it was seasonal, but he said it's always available. They had other desserts available, but the small taste was the perfect ending. I liked the layout of the room, which was long but narrow, so other tables didn't feel too near. read more

On the first floor of the Four Seasons, Vernick Fish is a posh seafood restaurant with a runway-like floor plan and plenty of romantic lighting. Took a few odd seconds to get us situated at a table in the back. I guess they weren't sure where to seat us? The host directed us to a cute table for two and we perused the menu. I love seafood so don't come here if you don't. My friend ordered a drink and said it was delicious and strong, yall know I need the drinks to be strong. Do not serve weak alcohol at a fancy place. I'll read you. Anyway, hahaha Vernick was top notch. We ordered a lot of food to share as kind of like our own taste testing. Everything was prepared fresh, flavorful and the presentation was lovely! I recommend the broiled oysters unless you must have raw. Philly and oysters go together like peanut butter and jelly. We are probably only 2nd to NYC at being an oyster haven. The chili shrimp with citrus was a fun treat. The scallops were amazing and I'd come back for the special turbo. I couldn't decide which to get but I love scallops and those did not disappoint. The beets carpaccio was amazing too because of the creamy lil sauce and the crunch bits. Cheers! read more

Like the Rihanna song, where has this place been all my life?! This hasnds down was the BEST seafood restaurant that I've ever visited. The scallops are absolutely incredible!

We had a later reservation, and the building was filled when we arrived- Took a while to get our order in after we sat down, about 30 mins. Would have been nice to get our order in a bit quicker since we were one of the last groups left in the building. Our server did give us complementary glasses of champagne for our anniversary which was nice. Boyfriend ordered a few oysters, which he enjoyed. Comes with all the touches if you wanted to dress up with flavor. The small plates were our favorite: yellowtail crudio, crispy octopus and tagliatelle spicy tuna. Our server recommended both crudos- so no wrong way of you decide to get the scallop crudo. The branzino was lukewarm, figured it would be pretty warm in the large skillet it was served in. The mushrooms and sauce served with it was tasty. The honey nut squash was a great pairing with the pumpkin seeds. read more

So as a tourist from CA, I read the reviews on Google and Yelp and decided to book my birthday celebration yesterday at 5:30 pm for some delicious fish. When we arrived, the place was nice and clean. The server was great and had good suggestions. We ordered the whole branzino large plate and the sardines small plate. When the sardines came out, we felt that it was just plain nothing to wow us for $25 and thought portions for small for the price and not alot of culinary vision added to spice up the order. Then came the whole branzino order which the rice was cold and there's a bug on the lettuce. Now we told the server and they made us another one. However, the dish still fell flat and nothing on the plate blends together. The rice, Kim chi, and daikon lettuce did not work well with the branzino. Also, the server helper brought out the dish and said that the whole branzino was de-bone but we had at least 12 bones each. For $75 the whole branzino was a total miss. At the end, as a major institution under the Four Seasons umbrella, I would definitely take care of the customer with a dessert for picking the restaurant to celebrate birthday but none was offered. Overall, would not return and only giving a 2 stars due to remake of whole branzino dish and server passed the service test. Save your money and go to Parc! read more
