Really enjoyed this place. The food was excellent so I highly recommend doing the Prix Fixe menu.

Very small intimate space with the open kitchen directly on the floor. Had an incredible experience here! The staff was super friendly and bantered with us all night. The stand out to me was the scallop toast, it practically melts in your mouth. Though everything we had was excellent flavor and presentation wise. I will absolutely be back!

The best restaurant I've ever been to in my entire life. I plan to make it a point to visit at least once a month.

My wife and I used to love coming to Little Fish but had a really bad experience last time we were here. We weren’t seated until 20 minutes after the start of our reservation, and once seated, it took another 10 minutes for the server to come over. The server even made a comment about how we weren’t seated until much later than our scheduled reservation, but then did nothing to accommodate us for the issue. We were also seated right next to the door, with my seat being cold and my wife’s being too hot because it was right next to the heater. The food here is really good, but based on how bad the experience was last time we were here, it’s not worth the high price tag. There are much better places to go with the same high quality of food but significantly better service.

I've been wanting to try Little Fish since I moved to the area a few years ago and am so glad I finally made it there! We had an exceptional experience. Its small size with 8 tables provides an intimate atmosphere and adds to the charm. Reservations and allowing extra time to find parking are a must, but the top-notch service and detailed explanations of each dish make it worth the planning. The scallop toast and pan-seared scallop were standout dishes, showcasing the team's creativity and expertise. The $90 prix fixe menu is a fantastic value, allowing you to try a bit of everything. A culinary gem that I highly recommend! I will be back!

The staff was great, very personable…and the food was amazing and well-seasoned. If you’re a lover of fresh seafood and fish, this is the place to go. Came for an after work dinner and it felt like we were eating as a guest in their home, they’ve done a great job of ensuring that we were comfortable, and fed. Thanks again!

Food: All the food was very delicious. We started with the bread and chimichurri, which wasn't anything too special. I would pass on these next time. The oysters were a refreshing delight. The scallop toast is definitely a must try here. The scallop melts in your mouth, but it was a bit over salted. Next we had the lobster ravioli which was the special. It was delicious. I'm not the biggest fan of ravioli normally, but this one was well executed. Lastly, we had the una Steaks, which were amazing. The horseradish, the sauce, the mushrooms and the leeks were a perfect combination of flavors that paired so well with the tuna. Chimichurri & Bread: 2/5 Oysters: 4/5 Scallop toast: 4.5/5 Lobster ravioli: 4/5 Tuna steak: 5/5 Service: Our waitresses were awesome. They were so funny and sensible. They definitely elevated the experience for us. Ambience: Always really cool to see the chefs cooking nearby. There's not too much seating but the small space definitely made the experience more intimate which was a plus. Overall: This is a must try for seafood in Philly. This place should have another .5 star.

I am always so impressed by the quality of food here! It’s impossible to pick a favorite dish. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and leaves you wanting more. One of my favorite places in Philly!
Pete was our waiter, and he was awesome. He had great recommendations and was a pleasure to have conversation with. Little Fish is a nice little hiddne gem, BYOB place in the city. We sat outside since it was a nice night, but it has a very small indoor dining area (about 15-20 seats). We tired a little of everything split between the 3 of us and it was worth it!

Had a birthday dinner for my girlfriend planned here. Unfortunately she got sick a few hours before our reservation was scheduled. I called the restaurant to cancel, and they refused to budge on the 50 dollar per person cancellation fee. Guess they would rather someone be violently ill in their restaurant. Anyway they took 100 dollars (50 for each of us), and we stayed home. Don't worry next time we'll soldier through the flu!! Absolute garbage customer service

Booked a reservation here for my girlfriend's birthday and I enjoyed the food more than I thought I would. Parking wasn't too hard to find but we were there at 9PM. The place is small so definitely book a reservation. It's cozy inside with little tables so it would be hard to book for a large party, if that's even possible. It's also pretty cool to be able to see the chefs work in the open kitchen. The staff is extremely nice and the vibes are great. The scallop toast was the perfect appetizer and set the tone for the rest of the night. It had all of us in a chokehold to the point that we'd come back just for that. The fish dishes were also so damn good that I'm disappointed that I know I won't be able to make it myself. We ate every part that was edible and each of the sauces complemented the fish so well. It never tasted like they were the same, each had its own distinct taste which kept things refreshing. As for the spaghetti, you'd think it's just spaghetti but that pesto sauce is something else. It's as if you took pesto sauce and just elevated it. If you told me that's all I could eat for the next month, I wouldn't complain. The seared scallops were also really good and that rich vichyssoise was heartwarming. The dessert of the day... I don't even know what it was but it put a perfect end to the night. It was sweet but refreshing because of the added fruits. I could go on and on but you're better off coming here yourself. Props to the wait staff and especially the kitchen for easily making Little Fish one of my top favorites. 10/10 would come back again and recommend it to everyone.

I was here for my partner's 40th birthday. We had the five-course tasting menu. The scallop toast didn't disappoint. The pesto pasta was perfect, and I also liked the salmon teriyaki. Service was personal and the pace of the meal was spot-on. I would definitely come back. Thank you!
