Fish Restaurant Bar - Stamford

Dinner last night was a great experience. The food was delicious. Our server was attentive (but not overly so friendly and knowledgeable. Other staff were also very friendly and helpful. They worked as a good team! My only complaint was the very loud music but our server moved a speaker which was helpful. I saw another customer who seemed to turn a knob on a speaker to turn it down. Might be nice to keep them all a little quieter. And wouldn’t it be nice to have that block on Bedford vehicle free!!

It took 20 minutes before a waitperson approached our table and then only because we were desperately trying to flag a live body down any live body. Though she wasn’t assigned to our table, she kindly took our order. I ordered a cocktail, and asked if they could bring it before our first course. That did not happen our starters arrived rapidly (the only course that did) well before the requested cocktail (which was very good once it was delivered). The bronzino was excellent (though accompanied only by green beans a touch chintzy) and the pasta with seafood and fresh tomatoes was superb. Perfectly al dente fettuccine, a modest portion of shellfish and a nice sprinkling of the best fried calamari we’ve ever had, not traditional with a seafood sauce but wonderful. Dessert key lime pie took a ridiculously long time to arrive. Food this good deserves professional service. The hostess was very sweet and welcoming. The waitstaff was inattentive at best, completely inept at worst. I had read quite a few reviews. Some complained about terrible service. Others praised the pristine seafood. They were both right. One caveat small portions for the Restaurant Week menu, and no other choices for dessert other than the dessert of the day. The only thing that arrived promptly was the bill.

Good food and good service, what could be better! For a casual night out, this is the place to go.

Great spot. Bright and modern inside. Food was fresh and very tasty. Reasonably priced and great service!

Celebrated the Fourth at Fish. Service was wonderful and food was, as always, great!
