The Fish Bar is a great local seafood place that feels like something out of a Jimmy Bufet song. The environment is perfectly casual and light. The food is delicious, both the raw and cooked varieties. Portion sizes vary by dish, but are generally fair for the prices. The happy hour is definitely worth coming in for! Unlike most happy hours, there are actual discounts and good deals. The staff were all friendly and attentive. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again when I want good casual and light seafood mixed with good taps and cocktails.

I honestly thought this was going to be a fair deal… instead it was a rip off…

Came for lunch on a Saturday. Fun vibe. Great service. Unique dishes. We had oysters, beat salad, crab cake sandwich and calamari. I’d order everything again but the crab cake. More cake than crab imo.

I had passed by so many times and was always intrigued by the facade advertising high quality seafood. Inside it’s nothing more than an over-glorified Long John Silvers. The clam chowder was cold. The cod sandwich served with American cheese. The outside did not match the inside. Avoid.

Was on the hunt for some oysters and finally found them! Not only did Fish Bar have good oysters but they gave me the option to select either east or west coast! I personally prefer the east coast but still tired the west coast. As for the service… it was a bit slow but there was only one person (from the looks of it) working. But other than the slow service the oysters really hit the spot

Came here a couple of times. Most of the food is great and usually the service is good. Prices are reasonable although dishes can seem to be small portions for some.

Our recent visit to Fish Bar left us profoundly disappointed. As a family seeking a pleasant dinner outing, our expectations were high. However, the quality of the food, the exorbitant drink prices, and the overall underwhelming experience have compelled us to share our honest feedback.

My boyfriend and I popped in here walking by for dinner. It was right before a dinner rush so it was perfect. It was an early winter evening, dark lighting, really cool wraparound bar. At the time, there was one person waiting and making drinks. He was awesome. Such great service and so personable. Gave us recommendations on what to get.

Worst experience in a Chicago restaurant. Very poor service and out of a lot of menu items. Food portion was very small for a fish and chips dinner. Slaw and potatoes were very bland and not tasteful.

Watermelon salad was good though a smidge too salty, I’m not sure if they added salt to the dressing but with the high salt content of Feta I don’t think it required more. The Salmon was amazing, I haven’t had a delicate buttery pan seared salmon in quite some time. The oysters were merely okay, too expensive for the size, I feel like the ketchup and vinaigrette that comes with are unnecessary. The drink, Lavender margarita, was lacking the expected boozy kick and definitely watered down during the outdoor heat. Would recommend but as a date outing or work outing as after tax and tip it was almost $60 for one person.
