    Our waiter was great. The food was pretty good but nothing special. The shrimp on the poboy was small were no better than frozen packaged from the grocery store. The fresh peel shrimp were fabulous and the fried oysters were pretty good. The fish in the fish and chips was overcooked. Overall, a good experience.

    Food was good, but something’s were charged without us being told it would be extra. The service for such a not so busy night needed to be a little better, and the same for the food wait time

    The food was just okay, nothing to shout about. But the service by our waiter, Mike, was exceptional. Kudos to Mike!

    Service was good ambience was good. My tuna was very tasty. Wife ordered blackened redfish there was no blacked seasoning on it. The bread pudding was unique, but very tasty.

    Had a great time here. Excellent view of the beach & Pleasure Pier. The food tasted delicious. Prices were reasonable… especially considering the view. Service was ok… nothing to brag or complain about. Expect to pay for parking. ($15) Overall highly recommend.

    We’re now expected to pay $15 to park in their lot and then pay the HIGH prices of their food, which has gone downhill hill. This will be our last visit to Fish Tails

    We had fun. I thought it was noisy, but my daughter said it was noisier on the Pleasure Pier and FishTales was quiet in comparison. Our waitress was fun and hardworking. The food was good, but great is still out there. We’ve been eating out every night since Dec. 23rd as family is coming in from all over at different times. And each place we went to I ordered a Balvenie Doublewood and after dinner the Bread Pudding. FishTales had no Balvenie and the bread pudding ranked at the bottom. But, we really had a good time and my fettuccine was just swell.

    Good service, food is ok. Nothing bad just not worth the higher price.
