I had been wanting to try Fishing with Dynamite for some time. When the opportunity presented itself I was delighted. Imagine my distress when my companion and I had to swat flies away for the entire meal. The waitstaff seemed surprised when I asked if they had a table fan to help. One was not enough and the second one barely did the trick. I was truly appalled. It really ruined the meal. I don't think I have ever been in a restaurant with such a major fly problem where the staff didn't seem to notice or care. Very disappointing experience, although the food was delicious. I can't in good faith recomment Fishing with Dyanamite.
I have to say that this has been one of my favorite restaurants for years. It's not just great food but a restaurant with love and soul behind it. The team cares about their guests and it shows. We were just there for our anniversary. Our server ( I wish I has her name) was outstanding. Excellent wine suggestions, attentive and kind. When the check was dropped, there was a hand written card signed by the staff wishing us a happy anniversary. (Chef's kiss) you guys are great. Keep doing what you're doing. The world and needs more places like you. Thank you.
Tight but cozy tables nestled in a small corner part of the building. They managed to fit an oyster bar and bar-bar which seats about 4 people each. It's bright and thoughtfully decorated. Drinks are created by master bartender (friendly and fun guy) and wait staff are knowledgeable about the oyster varieties as well as the menu. They treat you very nice for special occasions (my birthday lunch came with a complementary dessert that I got to choose). Many menu items are shareable which is great because it's a bit pricey. Wonderful overall experience.
The food is outstanding and the service is great. I love the intimate setting and usually see friends or neighbors enjoying their meals also. Love this restaurant - especially for a special occasion. Thank you FWD staff!
Sal (our server) was very attentive and we even had a great chat with Carlos (another FWD staffer) while we were there. My drinks were super tasty
Most amazing restaurant ever!!! The food was out of this world!! We drove 2 hours to come here and enjoy the yummy seafood!! Our server, Seamus was very attentive and made it a fun celebration of our 25th anniversary. The restaurant isn't fancy and kind of small but the food is exquisite! I highly recommend this place. Don't forget to make a reservation before heading there. It get booked fast.
John, our waiter was absolutely fantastic not to mention the food. Second time in two days to go back and have another wonderful experience.
Never disappoints! Love this restaurant and service so much! Favourite restaurant in south bay.
Our ‘go-to' place for lunch when we are in town. The seafood is always fresh and delicious, and the service is professional while not pretentious. The noise level is high, but it is small inside.
Peruvian scallops were beyond amazing!! Lobster roll, clams, crab all excellent! Top it off with the delicious Key Lime pie!! Keeps us coming back time and time again.

We had our anniversary here and had a great experience. The server was cheery and provided good feedback on our choices. The food was excellent. Purposely made sure to save room for dessert, which was top notch.
We had an excellent time. Our servers were amazing. The crab cakes are the best we've had. Oysters delicious. Bread amazing. Key Lime pie best ever. Yummy.
My favorite restaurant in the Southbay. They always take the best care of us and the food is amazing.
