I thought the tacos were kinda stale and no taste. Won’t go back.
Great food here. I would like to see them be a little more generous with portions though. Honey baked scallops are some of the best around.
Excellent service. These ladies are the best in the area. Becky runs the bar as if she was on TV! The whole experience makes it worthwhile every week. And Matt Silva is exceptional on Thursday nights!!
The food was the best! Everything was great from service to ambience and food will be back!
Bacon wrapped scallops as an app were excellent as well as the Ahi Tuna and Baked Cod. They never disappoint.
The local oysters and clams were excellent. The Aji tuna appetizer was also very very good. And to complete the surf and turf theme, we had the Angus beef burgers. The only thing that we were disappointed on is that they stop serving their lemon blueberry dessert.
We frequent there at least 3 times a month, alway make reservations on Open Table, request a high top table for two, the last three times we arrive for our reservation only to find out the wait for a high top will be over an hour. Last night we ended up at the bar which was fine, the bartender was great. I guess my question is, what is the point of making reservations?
Always a pleasant night and dinner was excellent. My favorite restaurant. Service is excellent and, servers are right there to help and make your dinner exactly what you ordered. The best food , quality, quantity, and good pricing. Thank you.
I've lost count of the number of times we have been to Fathoms over the years! The food has always been great. We really enjoyed our lobster sauté this evening...... yummy! Can't wait for the deck to open ! Summer's just around the corner!
Thankful that our waitress was very familiar with the menu! I stepped out of my normal shell and decided to try the lobster ravioli - it was AMAZING!!!! Not too rich and the sauce was perfect! I'm not a huge fan of marinara sauce and that's why my hesitation but the creamy sauce was absolutely delightful! Thank you for the wonderful dinner for our large crowd! Staff were all super helpful and friendly!

I was very disappointed to be seated in the exterior dining area. Last time I was there it was fine. There are walls all around that block the view of the outside when you are seated. The enclosure that keeps the bad weather out has a 6 inch orange border that brings your chance of seeing out even higher. The view from seats on the inside have the better view. Food, drinks and service was great!

We had a lovely lunch at Fathoms ! The waitress was friendly. We ate outside on the patio since the weather was nice. I had a special called the Crab Cake BLT sandwich, which was one of the best crab cakes I ever had. I loved the location and the views of the water. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Our must stop venue when in the area. Only issue was the 47 minute food delivery, which is not the norm.

Don't order meat from here stick to seafood. Learn from my mistake. I ordered the 8oz prime rib medium rare and when it came out, the top was pink and the bottom was brown. It was too rare for me. Maybe I made the mistake of ordering a prime rib medium rare. Or maybe it was too rare. I asked to have it cooked longer and when it came back I still didn't like it. Most of It tasted gross. My dad didn't even like it when I gave him a piece. No only that, but there was a good majority of fat on it, some of it too tough to cut off the steak. I ended up with a messy plate of cut up steak because I was trying to eat whatever pieces of non fat meat I could get off the steak. Of course I didn't finish it or take it home. The only decent part of that steak was the juice on the plate. All I could really eat was the asparagus and the small amount of fries they gave me, and I dipped them in the steak juice. The chef they have back there clearly doesn't know how to cook steak and should just stick to cooking seafood. Now I know better not to order meat from a seafood restaurant. It was a complete waste of money. Never coming back to this restaurant.
