Have never had a bad meal at GW Fins. Food and service are consistently above average, even in a city where the average is abnormally good. We’ve been coming for over 10 years but this was our first visit with our 18 month old toddler. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. You’ve earned yourself another fan for life.

We had a great meal and experience. My wife order the filet, my daughter had the shrimp and I had the strip. We treated it like family style and shared with everyone. The flavors were excellent and the Pittsburgh style was perfect. The sides are large and shareable too. Jared was our server and he never left us wanting or needing anything, and didn’t hover the entire time either. It was a great balance. We will be back!

My husband won’t go anywhere else for red fish! I had the LA Cobb salad with shrimp and crab and it was the perfect light supper. Service was great and nice ambience, but it is a little noisy. I highly recommend Red Fish Grill!
