    We had a great time at 5 Fishermans on Valentines Day. Our server, Laura, was amazing. We didn't have to wait long for food or drinks and were always greeted with a friendly approach. I would have given the experience an outstanding review but just one little thing is that I found it dark inside the restaurant. The table lamp was helpful it was a little tricky reading the menu. Other that, excellent night and would strongly recommend 5 Fisherman.

    Service was exceptional from start to finish. I had the five fishermen burger and roasted romaine. The burger was fantastic, melt in your mouth high quality meat and perfect bun. The roasted romaine was ok but I would have rather a Caesar salad. My husband had the strip loin and lobster tail. The lobster was cooked to perfection and the steak also. He was very happy with his meal. I didn’t find any deserts that was to my liking but we had an orange cream sickle type thing that was okay. The price is high but overall would return again.It was Valentines Day and I received a red rose which was a wonderful touch 💕
