The two dishes we had, we have had before and were good but not as good as before. Scallops were overcooked, salmon had a different taste.

This restaurant was on my bucket list since I moved into the area a little over a year ago. Many friends had highly recommended it. The menu looked interesting and so my wife and I went to try it yesterday (Thursday). I mention the day because it was not a weekend night or holiday and it was very crowded, an indication of it's popularity. That said, my overall impression was that it was good but not great. The pricing was reasonable and I would say that the value was good compared to similarly priced venues. I just expected more because of all the hype. Everything: service, ambiance, food and cost were just good. I may have set myself up for disappointment expecting better. I think Mystic Fish may be worth a return visit for a casual dinner to try some different dishes but it's definitely off my list of "Special Occasion" restaurants.

Can't say enough of the food and service. The menu offers varietal options other than the regular menu, which we like. The wine options never disappoint and our Server Tanya is top notch. Her menu recommendation was spot on and her service, impeccable.

We relocated away from FL and were excited to try one of our local favorites. We were delighted to find that the quality of the service and food has not declined in the least! Everything was delicious. Try the lobster “escargot” style and potstickers with dried figs and you wont be disappointed. The hogfish is a national treasure. Desserts are portioned to be the perfect bite to end a satisfying meal.
