This place is fantastic! Everything from the small plates (risotto), to main courses (mushroom pasta & rack of lamb) were excellent. The server steered us in just the right direction for wines that paired perfectly with our dinners. I also noticed that every meal that came out of the kitchen was closely inspected but the manager to make sure they were on the mark (and they were). This was an anniversary dinner for my wife and me, and we could not have chosen better! Highly recommend it!

Everything from the starters to dessert was phenomenal. We can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. We can't remember the last time an entire meal was that good. Fish Nor Fowl might be our new favorite spot - we can't wait to return!

Absolutely phenomenal experience. Food was unbelievable - their bread and ricotta dip are the best I’ve had in memory. Love restaurants that do simple things extremely right! We both got a pasta dish - mushroom pappardelle and a seasonal squash dish. We’re still talking about both hours later. Perfect service, pacing, etc. We will be back!

Great service experience and food was excellent. I had booked for our 20th wedding anniversary and as soon as we walked in the host congratulated us. When we were seated Dominic, greeted us with a glass of Prosecco for the occasion. He recommended some different options for dinner that did not disappoint! Overall a fantastic experience and we’ll be back. Thank you for making anniversary so special!
