    We attended the Five Fisherman on Saturday night to celebrate our daughter's 19th birthday. From the moment we sat down our server Laura gave us the best experience we have had in some time. She seemed equally excited to celebrate the occasion with us, and we were continually blown away. Processo, roses, dessert and a gift for our daughter were all extras that were above and beyond. We were all floating on our walk back to the hotel it was so great. Food was also incredible. Thank you so much. We will be back soon!

    Food was very good, however the vegetable was salty possibly due to what it was wrapped in. Halibut was excellent however the topping again was very salty. Table Service was excellent. Lemon desert was to die for.

    Staff were friendly. Food was very good. The crab cakes were a little too heavy and salty. BUT the Rockefeller Mussels were heavenly. Try the 5 fish plate. It has a little of everything!

    We had a great time at 5 Fishermans on Valentines Day. Our server, Laura, was amazing. We didn't have to wait long for food or drinks and were always greeted with a friendly approach. I would have given the experience an outstanding review but just one little thing is that I found it dark inside the restaurant. The table lamp was helpful it was a little tricky reading the menu. Other that, excellent night and would strongly recommend 5 Fisherman.
