Lovely experience! Our waitress was terrific- patient with our large diverse group and helpful with menu choices. The food was delicious- especially the char-grilled oysters which certainly lived up to their reputation as Best in Town! Profiteroles topped it all off beautifully. Will definitely return!

My husband won’t go anywhere else for red fish! I had the LA Cobb salad with shrimp and crab and it was the perfect light supper. Service was great and nice ambience, but it is a little noisy. I highly recommend Red Fish Grill!
