   The food at Vernick Fish is always spectacular, but this is the second time we’ve been and had to wait nearly 20 minutes past our reservation time for a table; I suspect they try to push in guests of the hotel at the expense of local diners with reservations, which is very frustrating.

   The food and service are top grade. The prices do reflect this. The atmosphere is lively. The space's style is clean and modern. However, compared to the food it does not stand out like "this is Vernick Fish". At times due to the nature of the space and seating it was hard to hold a conversation without leaning in or speaking more loudly. That said, the food was excellent, the seafood was wonderful tasting and well prepared. The staff was professional and attentive.

   The oysters were very good. The red snapper ceviche lacked flavor. The black sea bass was cooked nicely but the rock shrimp were so small as to be unnoticed and added nothing to the dish. The broth although flavorful was salty. The fluke with the lobster imperial was very disappointing. Not sure where the lobster was but lots of breading was there. The server was nice. The acoustics very loud.

   The food was excellent. Seating at the kitchen counter was interesting and comfortable. Sides of crispy potatoes and cauliflower were tasty, the octopus small plate was excellent and so were the scallops. The service was polite but uninterested and the not yet finished plates were taken away in a hurried and unpleasant way surprising both dinners.

   Incredible experience - proud to have this place in our town, can't believe it took us so long to get here. We had an assortment of raw plates (including oysters) and small plates to share things and try a lot, it was definitely the way to go for us. Red snapper ceviche and the yellowtail crudo were standouts, could have eaten them all day - bright, complex and delicious. Everything we tried was absolutely wonderful, but also interesting and innovative. Drinks were great and perfectly accompanied our meal. The key lime pie was excellent. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and everyone is great. We are going to come back for special occasions again for sure, it's exciting that the menu changes so often! Thank you to the team at Vernick Fish for creating such a memorable experience.

    Excellent meal. Attentive service. An army of staff but quiet and efficient. High ceiling so noise level a little higher than average but not a problem for conversation. The smaller tuna appetizer was excellent. Shrimp cocktail by the piece but a cool presentation of an old idea. The sea bass was outstanding. This is an example of how Philly is rapidly becoming a restaurant destination.
