I recently visited Fly 'n' Fish, and it was fantastic! This cozy spot offers top-notch food and drinks. Our server, Ariel, was friendly and attentive, while Juan, the busser, kept everything running smoothly. If you're looking for a hidden gem with great hospitality, definitely check this place out! Can't wait to return! I highly recommend the grilled artichoke and fish ceviche tostada—they're delicious! If you're seeking a hidden gem with great hospitality, check it out! Can't wait to return!

Everything was INCREDIBLE, absolutely delicious! The artichoke wasn’t quite as amazing as other reviews claim, but the Shrimp Tacos were to DIE FOR, and the Clam Chowder was amazing too. Didn’t take photos of all our food we were to hungry lol but we’re adding some. Highly recommend!!! We’ll come back for sure!

Serves incredibly fresh oyster sweet, briny, and perfectly chilled. The atmosphere is lively, though it can get quite loud and crowded during dinner hours. Still, it’s a top spot for seafood lovers near the coast.

One of the best places I've been to with fresh oysters. Good service, friendly staff. Place is small and could appear a bit noisy but overall nice location and view. Did not like poke unfortunately but everything else was great

Food was really good! Went for happy hour and waited about 35 minutes for a table for 2. The space is quite small; it was very crowded because of everyone standing around the bar area. Would recommend for small parties (2-4) Seafood was incredibly fresh.

I’ve been here twice now. Comfortable relaxed atmosphere. Food has always been good with one exception; though their oysters are fresh, they don’t clean them well, leaving grit and bits of shell in the oysters. Servers were not fully attentive, having to ask twice for things, etc. but bussing was excellent, cleaning table of plates between courses, etc. Love sitting by the windows with the ocean breeze coming in. I’ll go again sometime but, though they are my favorite, I’ll likely pass next time.

We actually came because we had heard the fish and chips were good here! We were not disappointed! Very very crisp fish and fries were nicely fried. Their sauce is amazing, I’m not even sure what they call it but it seems to be a mixture of horseradish+chilli+vinegar+garlic. We ended up getting oysters also. I like that you can order a sample/flight plate which allows you to try 3 different catches. The oysters were superb! Food is delicious. On another note, we were seated very quickly without reservation at 7pm on a Friday night, which was our great luck! The ambiance is beautiful because you have the ocean staring at you as you dine. The bar does get crowded as the night continues, and it does get noisy inside! Would come back here.
