What O doesn't like about Flying Fish Grill:
I did have high hopes for this place and it was a mediocre in my opinion which some can argue. I ordered Salmon dish and it was a bad idea. it came with extra pasta as a server mentioned which I did not care for at all and didn’t ordered that way, overall dish was Ok. Service was just fine also, nothing outstanding or personable. Host seemed overwhelmed and seating was somewhat chaotic, mind you this isn’t a big rest... View all feedback. What Evan W likes about Flying Fish Grill:
Totally a ‘hole-in-the-wall’ type place. All the staff interacted with us and were friendly and funny. Food was great. And like others have said, the ginger salsa they should bottle and sell. A great, not-pretentious choice. View all feedback.

The restaurant, while executed in style, fell short with mediocre food and service. However, it shone as a 'hole-in-the-wall' establishment with friendly staff and great flavors, particularly in dishes like the Seafood Tower and Black Bean Halibut. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it a memorable dining experience for all. With a menu that has stood for over 30 years, there's a reason this place has endured and earned acclaim. From perfectly executed dishes to a welcoming atmosphere, it's clear that this restaurant has mastered the art of creating a truly exceptional dining experience.

Ambience check. Not the best but it's charming. Service check. Again, not the best service I've ever experienced but it was fine. We dined on a Friday...
