Ok, so you guys have no idea how good this place is. It is a true hidden gem! This is by far, the best restaurant on the island, and maybe even the best in New England. This is definitely the best restaurant I’ve been to in Rhode Island and you would be insane not to go here on your vacation to Block Island. The dishes are just an incredible representation of Asian style cuisine. Everything is incredible! I recommend the Pupu platter due to its ability to showcase many different amazing appetizers that this place presents. The service is great and the workers were professional and welcoming. Don’t be fooled by the relatively low rating. Lori Redding is lying. Just look at her profile picture. If you are in Block Island, this is the place for you!!

I popped into TigerFish after a sun-soaked beach day, ready for a drink and a chill spot to soak up the evening. What I found was a lively blend of tiki-bar kitsch and Southeast Asian flair—think bamboo décor, neon jungle vibes, sushi bar energy, and cocktails that come garnished like they’re auditioning for a tropical vacation ad.
🍹 Drinks & Vibe
The tiki-style cocktails were the star of my visit. Bold, fruity, and dangerously drinkable, they hit the sweet spot between fun and flavorful. The lounge’s indoor-outdoor layout—plus reggae beats spilling from a DJ setup—gave it a casual, island-party energy without feeling loud or pretentious .
🍣 Food & Small Plates
My friends and I split a few items—lobster fried rice, street noodles, and some small Asian-fusion bites. Everything had solid flavor, though nothing wowed. Sushi rolls looked sharp and fresh, and the general concept works: shareable, colorful island-food fusion .
📜 A Dash of Local History
TigerFish doesn’t have the centuries-old pedigree of Block Island’s historic Beacon Hill or its post-Revolutionary-era tower teams signaling British ships . But the area blends a laid-back island tradition with beach-town reinvention—and TigerFish feels like the modern twist: a tiki-infused reimagining of tropical fun in a place where tourists and townies converge.
👍 Final Take
What worked: Laid-back but lively vibe, strong cocktails, fun décor, and a post-beach hangout feel.
What could be better: The food, while tasty, didn’t match the creativity of the cocktails. And it felt a bit on-trend—fun, but maybe not essential to the island experience.
All told, I had a solid time—something easy, colorful, and breezy after a day of sand and sun. If you’re in the mood for someplace playful with good drinks, friendly energy, and a South Seas-meets-Asia twist, TigerFish is worth a pit stop.

Cute restaurant on the island! Price does not match what you get. Food is expensive but that’s to be expected. Staff is great even when short staffed!

If I could give. Zero stars I would. This place unprofessional rude and the food was not even close to good. They have opah fish other wwiae.known as moon fish as.a special for 48 dollars and saying it is a local delicasy. The server did not know what it was. I am a Rhode islander.and know that this is a big sunfish they caught and charging tourists ridiculous amount of money the fried fish was ok and then the other money side of fish they tried to serve rare with an enormous e amount of black pepper sauteed .a second time.after I sent it. Back. The staff was unprofessional and do not believe the customers is always right for sure. They actually said it's your opinion that the cucumber salad was not rancid and not edible. .three people actually attempted to.eat it unsuccessfully.. they did take it off the bill not the first time as stated in the review reponse.earlier and asked and with many attempts. Just down go there sooo many other great establishments to go to and much nicer people.

The food was okay, we only had a complaint on the cucumber salad and didn’t eat it, when we asked to have it taken off our bill we were told that it was our opinion and it didn’t matter. When we asked to speak to the manager they said yes and the manger never came. When we asked again they said there was no manager. Awful service. Will never come back. On a 700$ tab, they could have treated us better.
Fantastic sushi rolls, spring rolls, and the bulgogi beef tacos were AMAZING! Definitely recommend the food, and service was welcoming!

One of my favorite restaurants on the island. Tigerfish is a very nice change from all the basic/typical seafood dishes that are served everywhere else. The food and drinks are topnotch & loaded with flavor! The share plates are great for splitting while having a few drinks!

Waitress was rude and pushy for some odd reason she was obsessed with the chairs and tables, the restaurant was empty. Made us get up multiple times to move, and rushed us out right after we paid. Didn't even have time to sign the slip.

The dishes were tasty but we did add more soy sauce to them because they were missing a flavor kick. For the price point of the entrees we just had higher hopes but the food was good. The service was good. The bathrooms are near the bar and used often so I wouldn't want a table too close to them since it would be a high traffic area.
