Smokin Fins has become a favorite restaurant. Have tried different food on the menu and have been happy with all of them. Great atmosphere and always busy, but the noise level is low enough you can actually have a conversation with no trouble hearing. Highly recommend!
Service was amazing with friendly staff, and our food was delicious. Everything came out timed perfectly between appetizers, entrees and desserts.
We hadn't eaten here in a few years, and we noticed a few changes. Since we were last here, they enclosed the patio with lots of glass. There were plenty of heaters to keep the temperature comfortable. And it was substantially quieter than inside (which is always outrageously loud). But beyond that, the space lacked any decor or personality, and the metal chairs were rather uncomfortable. We also noticed that there were fewer seafood choices than in the past. However, we ordered a couple seafood entrees which were very good. In addition, we also scored a couple drinks and an entree at happy hour prices which was nice.
The food was excellent, our cedar plank salmon was prepared perfectly and it came out hot. However it is always loud in there and not conducive for four or more to have a decent conversation. But we still like to go there for the food.
Along with drinks, my husband had one of the specials, Battered Walleye and chips. It was delicious and a very healthy portion! Would highly recommend. I had Happy Hour Poke Bowl and Sprouts/Cauliflower. Both were very good. Just Poke Bowl would have been enough. Our server was very friendly and conversational. We had a 4:30 reservation on a Friday and expected it to be busy but not at all. By the time we left, it was hopping so we timed it well. Great Happy Hour drinks and food! Will be coming back soon.
Went for my wife's birthday, everything was very enjoyable. Only downside was reservation noted her birthday but it was not acknowledged.
Logan was our server and did a great job - very attentive, informative and friendly. Food was mostly good. We had fish and chips and grilled fish tacos with lime calamari to start. Portions are plenty. Central restaurant bar with seating and TVs showing pro football on a Sunday.
Great food and they made my birthday a wonderful experience. I appreciate their attention to detail.
It was a ladies night out and we had such a great time, great food and the service was Outstanding.
We love the Littleton location and were excited for date night. The service was awful. It took 15 minutes to get waters and place a drink order. Evidently they had their bartender waiting tables despite being slammed. Poor guy was doing his best but our service suffered greatly. We ordered apps and it took 35 minutes to get them; people who were sat after us recorded orders quickly-our kicking shrimp had obviously sat as they were like warm and soggy. The sushi we ordered came more quickly, but the torched salmon literally just tasted like ash. Such a disappointing night.

We used to love this location, but service, quality of food to even the lighting has gone downhill. Bar was understaffed. Drinks took 10–15 mins to arrive. Appetizers were late, dinner arrived at the same time. My mahi was over cooked. Rice was dry. Lights at the bar were flickering from light to bright. It was ridiculous. We won't be back.
The meal was creative fusion and tasty. The options offered on the menu should satisfy a variety of pallets. Our service was also very good and attentive during our time at the restaurant. Where the experience began to suffer is the exceptionally loud dining room that included other diners and the staff. A bit annoying when the staff is having a grand time yelling at each other across the expanse of the dining room. My wife and I both commented that yelling at each other at dinner is not a definition of a good dining experience.
Everything was very good. We were a little disappointed they didn't have the Coppola Vkaret Cabernet.
Very fun place, excellent food and service. Wednesday is prime rib day and 1/2 price wine night. Any night is a great night at Smokin' Fins!
When we arrived it was very loud. It must have been happy hour. We were greeted by the host who sat us when a few others in our party arrived. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious, as always.
