What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Big Fish Steak & Lounge is lauded for its exceptional steaks and seafood, with many reviewers highlighting the perfect seasoning and quality of the certified Angus beef. The cozy and beautiful ambiance is frequently mentioned, creating a relaxing dining experience. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, occasional issues like overcooked lobster or dry chicken have been noted, and one review mentioned an unfortunate food poisoning incident.
"Fantastic experience all around!!!! From the greeting of the host at front of house to the service at the table!! Food was outstanding as well, the presentation, the quality and the taste had us eagerly anticipating the next course! Truly one of the best dining and culinary experiences we have ever had. Both my partner and I have a background in fine dining so this review does not come lightly! Kudos to all!"

"I went to big fish for my first time, for a mothers day dinner. The restaurant itself is beautiful and clean. The staff are friendly, fast and attentive. We both ordered the surf & turf and a drink. The drinks, steak and mashed potatoes were phenomenal. Unfortunately, the lobster was overcooked to the point that it was almost like rubber and was extremely hard to remove from the shell. Overall, the experience was great and we will be back to try again."

"Enjoyed a very nice Anniversary dinner at the Big Fish on 8/11/24. Service was excellent, our waitress was attentive, genuine and friendly. We had the Calamari, Seared Scallops and flaming cheese for appetizers. Main course was Rack of Lamb and Seafood Linguine. Every dish was warm, seasoned properly and tasty. We will be back, great job A+!!"
