Fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable🥰

Beautiful restaurant in an excellent location. The staff and very nice and happy to have any answers that you may have. It is a fancier restaurant (maybe dress up a bit) but isn’t pretentious. Our food came quickly, the drinks were very good (paid for 2 because it was so good) and we would definitely come back. Great place for a birthday, anniversary or special celebration.

My friends & I are extremely disappointed in the quality of the Five Fishermen restaurant.
The majority of the mussels we ordered were closed shut & tasted off. The caesar salad was dry and we had to request a new one as there was barely any sauce.
The tenderloin in the Beef Tip Papparedelle was extremely tough to chew and resembled dog food.
We had requested that they put the Dairy Queen ice cream cake we brought for a friends birthday to be put in a deep freeze ahead...read full review
