    We had such a lovely dinner for my dad’s birthday at OddFish. I left a note in the reservation about the birthday and they greeted him with a happy birthday at the door and a dessert at the end of our meal which was very thoughtful! Amazing service! Our server was very helpful in ensuring we had a well rounded dinner, and was fun to chat to as-well! Not to mention the food was unreal! I had been to OddFish once before and had an amazing meal as well, but, last night was next level. Couldn’t pick a favourite! Already excited to go back :)

    The food and service is great. My husband and I shared the chicken parmigiana and pasta with spicy vodka tomato sauce, really great. This is the second time I’ve had the chicken parmigiana, definitely a share dish. Also had a happy hour transfusion (vodka, grape juice, ginger) so yummy!
