Our family has frequented the Fisherman for 20-years, it'll always be a favorite spot. The Paelha Valenciana is to die for, the Sangria is great for sharing endless laughs, and the sizzling "Fisherman Style" New York Strip is a must. This year, we celebrated a Surprise birthday party in the Fisherman "Wineroom". The management and staff was supremely attentive and handled each detail with the utmost care. A plethora of delicious apps, deserts and favorite main courses / drinks. A beautiful venue well suited for both casual and formal events. Look forward to our next visit!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

A little disappointed. I ordered stuffed shrimp with crabmeat, I got stuffed shrimp with cornmeal. The sangria, rice, Spanish potatoes and homemade potatoes were good. The garlic shrimp lacked fresh garlic and was in what tasted like a butter hot sauce mix. My friend ordered the pasta with seafood and was disappointed when it was served in the same butter hot sauce mix. The portions are large, the service was on point but a little disappointed with the main meals. I posted the stuffed shrimp below for reference

A week ago today I had a wonderful birthday dinner with family here and it was a special treat. The staff was patient and attentive, even presented me with a birthday card signed by all on duty that night. Even though a few minutes delayed by the holiday traffic, we were shown right to our table even with the place starting to fill up. The food was very tasty and plentiful enough to share. I ordered a plate of paella and literally got a pot. The sangria was fresh and smooth. A limoncello flute topped it all off and I can't say enough about about this place. On vacation, celebrating an occasion or simply driving through, a visit with these guys will be worth it Seriously, Do yourself a "flavour" and check them out.
