    We had the best night here celebrating my husband's birthday. The food was amazing - focaccia was great, and the bone marrow risotto was to die for (we added the bone marrow luge for the experience - only the second place we'd been to that offered it so we had to do it again!). Entrees were the squid ink pasta special and the 'fancy fish' (Arctic char with pistachio pesto) - both were delicious. The affogato was unique and the perfect way to wrap up the meal. Drinks were perfectly paired with our food. 5/5!! Service was incredible as well, highly recommend Mark and Alexander - we had some great conversations and they really made the night special. Thank you!

    Overall experience was very nice. The lobster was overpriced for what you got at $72. The steak was ordered medium rare and came out closer to medium. Sommelier did a nice job on recommending wine selection and the variety on the food menu was above average. Many items on the menu that you might not cook at home. 3% service fees added to the check for offsetting costs of operations.

    Our first time to this establishment. The service could not have been better. While it was loud in the main room, the setting was quite pleasant. The food was excellent and the presentation while a bit rustic was effective. It was a bit pricy but we knew that going in. Worth the money.

    We absolutely loved our experience at Fish nor Fowl. The ambience, service, cocktails, and food were all fantastic. The highlights of the night were the Blood Oath cocktail and the squid ink pasta special. We will Definitely visit again.

    We had a delicious meal - every course was unique with wonderfully intriguing tastes and beautiful presentation. Our waitress was lovely. My only caveat is about the bench where I was sitting which was incredibly hard, even with the little sheepskin pad provided! Please provide a cushion!
