I have been comming to Philadelphia from Boston, home of the best seafood, every year the Army Navy game is in Philly. Every year my fellow classmates get together at this restaurant for some great grub, delicious drinks and good old fashion fun. I know it has been opened for a long time for a restaurant because I can't remember not eating here but each year it is the same great food. As we are taught in the military it is all about getting it done with teamwork. Well this team sure did it again tonight. Same great crabcakes, good mussels they have even added fish tacos for my San Diego buddy. How can you walk out of a place with 12 buds and we paid less than $40 a head drinks and all. They even have a liter of wine, we got 6 glasses out of it, for around $20 bucks.

I am in town until sunday. I maybe back for lunch tomorrow.

Wow, this place was awful.

Saturday night (8pm) and there were maybe 30% of the tables full. Never a good sign.

Ten minutes until we saw our waiter. He seemed totally out of it (mumbling, having to come back over to retake our order because he didn't write it down the first time). He didn't make eye contact and shuffled off.

Our appetizers were horrendous. The grilled octopus was so tough that it was inedible. The $12 Lobster mac was a watery disaster. We wanted to send it back but we didn't see our waiter again until the check (a non-english speaking bus-person brought the entrees). No drink refills.

The entrees were below average. Oversauced fish = a waste. The food was just bad. The tuna had a funky flavor. The shrimp were stringy.

Since the service was so bad we ended up tipping him 10% instead of our usual 20. When we checked our credit card, he put an extra $10.00 for a tip! A nasty call to the restaurant had the $10 reversed on the card. They wouldn't exactly admit that he did it, but they also reversed it very quickly when asked for a photocopy of the signed receipt

Came upon this rest. by accident, but have no regrets! I was in Philadelphia for my birthday and my husband decided to take me to dinner here. We got our reservations and wound up still waiting for 20 mins, which was definately worth it. I ordered steamed Maine lobster and my husband ordered a NY strip steak and we shared an appetizer of octopus salad. Let me tell you, everything from start to finish was amazing! So DELICIOUS!!! My lobster came with a lemony buttery sauce which was so rich and flavorful, (not like the oily Red Lobster stuff) The crab legs were perfectly done and tender, juicy and succulent! My husbands rib eye was just as amazing, cooked the way he ordered it, juicy, flavorful and tender. I highly recommend Philadelphia Fish! The service was great and the ambiance was very romantic. The perfect place for a delicious birthday dinner!

I had a wonderful dining experience last Sat. night when my date & I happened to wander in Phila. Fish & Co. We really had no intentions to eat a full course dinner but the food and our service was so impressive we stayed for a "soup to nuts " dining experience. Our waiter, I believe his name was Warren was very knowledgeable, attentive, polite, and friendly.( My date was very impressed by this gentleman.)
I must admit our food matched the service, and our expectations were exceeded, as well. Our dinner started with a bowl of their Fish Chowder, it was simply delicious (light cream base, lots of fish and veggies). Our second course was an Asian Shrimp Cocktail and a Lobster roll. We were really taken back by these two appetizers.....they were superb. I had the shrimp cocktail...( best I've ever had...different flavors with shrimp which included endemame beans and kimchee.)My date had the lobster roll...nice soft hotdog roll with this amazing lobster salad, with big pieces of lobster.....I don't remember being able to even get a good lobster roll in the Philadelphia area!
Our entees consisted of a Tuna dish, which was a play on "fish & chips"..the Tuna was fried on the outside and rare in the center..( which the server recommended)..THE BEST! The other entree was a grilled whole fish ( Striped Bass) it came with fresh carrots and english peas which included a portion of cous cous.
The fish was grilled to perfection, alittle crispy on the skin which I love to eat, as well. Also, there was no bone involved in the eating process because it was what they call a " french Cut" no bones.
We shared a blueberry cobbler which was served warm with Bassets vanilla ice cream...and coffee.
It was really a GREAT dinner and I would recommend this establishment to anybody who appreciates good food and service.

i have been dining at philadelphia fish for years and have always had a superb meal. Not only is the food great but the service as well! I take all of my clients here to dine and all have thoroughly enjoyed it! Their executive lunch is a great deal and always have a great variety for their daily specials. i highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!
