I've gone to fat Fisk pop-ups before so I was so excited for the brick and mortar. It did not disappoint. I've gone a couple times now and for spot known for their fish Their chicken is hands-down my favorite thing there. The service is always spectacular and vibe is great. This is a great date night or celebratory spot. Highly recommend! read more

Simply put...a 10 across the board! Food - Service Decor/lighting Cocktails Loved the radish and cabbage/caeser salads. The Rainbow Trout with almonds and brown butter was the largest piece of fish I've ever had. Definitely lived up to its cool hype. read more

Amazing Nordic fine dining. Everything was so good, including the smoked trout pate, the mussels (no pictures), the Swedish meatballs. The trout filet was so tender, and the cavatelli had an extremely yummy sauce that went well with both the pasta and mushrooms. Sad we didn't have room for dessert, as those looked good too. My friend who lives in Pittsburgh booked the reservation a couple weeks ahead of time, where the earliest was 8:30 on a Sunday. The service is a bit slow, and we were there until late in the evening. read more

Fet-Fisk had been on my radar after hearing so much hype, especially after being named to the 2024 NY Times Best 50 Restaurant list and a 2025 James Beard Award finalist for Best New Restaurant. I made a reservation for two about a month in advance for a birthday dinner and chose the lounge over the dining room based on reviews about the different vibes. Since we had an early reservation, they were also able to accommodate our request to sit at the bar. We shared the spaetzle and fries with house-made ketchup. I ordered the grilled branzino and appreciated the instructions on how to tackle a whole fish. The dulse butter was interesting but a little too overpowering for me, and the vegetable side was a bit underwhelming. My husband enjoyed his roast half chicken and gave it good marks. We also loved the house cream soda and would recommend it for anyone looking for a nonalcoholic drink. Overall, a great birthday night out and a fun chance to expand our palates. read more

Finally made it here after hearing lots of hype about this restaurant. We had a reservation in the lounge, but we asked to sit at the bar to appreciate their skilled bartenders practicing their craft. It's definitely a special place in Pittsburgh and they do take their menu and dishes very seriously. However, the flavor palette that they chose to showcase is not necessarily my preference. The experience is definitely elevated with a very professional and attentive wait staff. The decor in the longe is definitely a positive feature of this restaurant. Nestled throughout the nooks and crannies of the lounge are an interesting array of Nordic themed things to admire. I ordered the chicken for my entree and it was definitely not boring. It had a thick and flavorful glaze all over it and they incorporated lingonberry. Lingonberry is a theme throughout the menu. I also enjoyed a refreshing lingonberry mocktail to add another element of that flavor. Overall, a very nice restaurant in Pittsburgh worthy of a night out. read more

I've heard so much about this restaurant I think my expectations were too high.

Fet-Fisk has to be in my top 5 restaurants in Pittsburgh. Every time I've come here, I've left craving more!! At first, I was a little worried about the Nordic seafood cuisine and whether there would be enough options for less adventurous people in our party. But it turns out there's a great selection of dishes for everyone. The roasted half chicken with the incredible lingonberry sauce is one of my favorite dishes of all time. I think the waiter mentioned it was brined overnight for a few days, which makes it unbelievably juicy. The starters are phenomenal as well. They showcase so many unique flavors, textures, and combinations. One of our favorites was the steak tartare, and they had a scallop crudo special that was especially refreshing. If you can make a reservation, I highly recommend it. However, if you can't, they usually offer walk ins but in a separate bar dining area (mostly under red lights). One time we lined up a few minutes before opening, and there were at least 10 people ahead of us, but I think everyone still ended up getting seated. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and kind. I love that we have this local gem in our neighborhood!! Not to mention they've been nominated for James Beard awards a few years in a row. read more

Fet Fisk is a Nordic influenced restaurant/bar in Pittsburgh's Bloomfield neighborhood. Everything was exceptional, a warm and inviting atmosphere, attentive and knowledgeable service, and a seasonal menu featuring sustainably sourced seafood and local produce. I started off with a creative cocktail called a "Silky" made with rum, basil, centerbe, citrus syrup, lime, and buttermilk. It was so good that I had to have another. The Orange King Salmon gravlax with cultured butter, and cured egg yolk immediately got my attention, and it was as satisfying as it sounded on the menu. My daughter insisted that I get the roast half chicken with linganberries and soft farmers cheese. It was a flavorful and juicy stand out on the menu. I could not pass up the sourdough spatzle, which was rich and balanced, and made perfectly with crème fraîche, peas, grana pandano and herbs. At the end of my meal, I was served a wonderful natural dessert wine that was well paired with the creamy buttermilk Panna cotta with ginger and black currant. How lucky are we to have this gem of a restaurant in Pittsburgh? I could eat this same meal every day of my life! read more

I went to @fet_fisk when they first opened and then...simply did not act right by not coming back sooner. That one's on me. The red lighting alone feels like it's romanticizing your life choices-dim, moody, a little unhinged in the best way. It's the kind of place where you sit down and immediately feel cooler than you actually are. The food is thoughtful, seafood-forward, and the kind of good that makes you stop talking mid-sentence. The bar? Dangerous in a one more drink won't hurt kind of way. Everything feels intentional without being pretentious, which is rare. This place doesn't yell for attention-it just knows what it is. Fet-Fisk is moody, vibey, and exactly what you need when you want a night that feels a little elevated but still effortless. Consider this me publicly admitting I should've come back sooner. read more

Great experience from beginning to end. We made reservations for 6pm in the dining room, and our table was ready when we arrived. The decor inside is like you are visiting someone's home. Relaxed, with trinkets and art everywhere. Dark and moody. The service from our server, Gina, was fantastic. She explained the family-style menu and recommended drinks to us (they have non-alcoholic!). We started with the pickled herring, which was smoky and acidic, paired with the most amazing beet puree. The carrots with the maple glaze and oat topping were incredible. Perfect texture with some bite still, and a super caramelized sauce. We ended up eating our fries with the sauce! We also ordered the rainbow trout entree, which was cooked in a garlic sauce with toasted almonds and capers. This was hands down the best thing we ate! The half chicken with lingonberries and farmers cheese was good, but we found it challenging to eat. The spaetzel was super rich and creamy. I would eat it daily if I could. We really, really enjoyed our meal and experience here. I would love to come back. read more

There is a coat check inside and we were led to our table promptly. There's a bar inside along with a lounge area and a dining room with tables. We family styled a bunch of items and each was so flavorful and delicious. This is one of the best restaurants in Pittsburgh for sure!! read more

Finally scored a dinner reservation at Fet-Fisk! The interior was very cozy and the bar area was especially cool. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed with our seating--we were placed directly next to a window, and it was noticeably cold. We ordered a variety of dishes after our waitress recommended 4-6 plates for two people. The rye focaccia was excellent--very sourdough-forward and served with a homemade balsamic. The pickled mackerel was unlike anything I've had before; the salty fish paired beautifully with the smoked beet sauce and dill. The duchess potatoes were another standout. While the portion was small, the truffle brown butter sauce was easily the best sauce we tried all night. The grilled branzino was fun to eat, and the seaweed butter and breadcrumbs on top were the perfect finishing touch. Our favorite dish, though, was the roasted half chicken--hands down some of the juiciest, most flavorful chicken I've ever had. Next time, we'll definitely be saving room for dessert! read more

4 of us came for dinner on a Monday night, sampling various dishes across their menu. We sat in an area that was lit with red lights, so I apologize for the lack of color in my photos! We started with the oysters ($4/each, $44 for a dozen), which were good. The mignonette was fresh and zesty. Great pick for people who love raw oysters, but they had a pretty standard/typical flavor profile that I felt I could find at many other seafood restaurants. Next, we got the ora king salmon gravalax ($18). The salmon was coated with finely shaved butter and egg yolks. The very rich flavor from the butter and egg yolks intensified the richness of the salmon, while the creaminess from the butter balanced out the saltiness. The scallop crudo ($15) arrived shortly after. I'm usually not a big fan of crudo (it's too fruity? or oily?) but this was the best crudo I've had in a while. I really enjoyed the pickled apple-- it had a lot of tartness to it, with only a very subtle fruity taste, and was super crunchy. One of the biggest highlights for me was their pickled mackerel ($13). I was blown away by the smoked beet spread that came with it, which added so much nuance to the pickled fish! I also liked the added crunch from the cabbage. Our server recommended their Monday special, the buttermilk fried chicken (3/$14, 6/$28) to us. The fried chicken was a little hard to eat, because the caviar would roll off while we tried to bite into the chicken. However, I'd highly recommend getting this! The chicken was tender, nicely brined, and the breading was perfectly seasoned. The herbed creme fraiche was also so tasty that we ate it with a spoon at the end. We got an order of their steamed hollander mussels ($19) that came in a creamy but not too rich sauce. Like everything else we tried, this dish was tasty. However, I would also put it under the category of "I can get something similarly good elsewhere." If I was a regular customer here, I could see myself ordering this dish, but in the spirit of trying flavor profiles unique to Fet-Fisk, I would opt for something else. So many of our dishes came with unique sauces and we couldn't wait for the rye focaccia ($8) so that we could use the bread to soak up the sauces. But once I tasted the tomato balsamic that the bread came with, I completely forgot about the other sauces I wanted to dip the bread in. If you're a fan of tomato and garlic, this dip is the best! The raw garlic taste is definitely pungent but adds so much spice and dimension to the tomatoey, vinegary, savory dip. We ended up getting two orders of the focaccia. The final savory dish we got was the rainbow trout fillet ($30). The smoked almond sauce added a very nutty, almost creamy taste to the fish, as well as a lot of crunchy texture that complemented the flaky, tender fillet. I would still say that I had more fun trying the bright, savory, and tangy flavors that the smaller dishes came with, but the trout did feel a lot more substantial and filling. Finally, we rounded out the meal with their panna cotta ($8). The panna cotta was extremely rich and fatty, and the grape sauce on top reminded me of Welch's grape jam in the best way. If I were to come here alone on a Monday night and wanted to treat myself to a nice meal, I'd get their pickled mackerel, buttermilk fried chicken, and rye focaccia. read more

Fet-Fisk was an absolute hit. The space is gorgeous--warm, intimate, and designed to make you want to linger. I sat in the main dining room, but the bar's moody red glow was seriously tempting. Service was spot-on, especially when it came to guiding portions and wine pairings. The cocktails and wines were thoughtful, but the food is where the restaurant really shines. The steak tartare was easily the best I've had--tender, bright, perfectly seasoned. And the sweet corn panna cotta? Rich yet delicate, with a deep corn flavor that felt both surprising and nostalgic. A standout dinner from start to finish. Highly recommend Fet-Fisk for any occasion. read more

I was overcharged at this restaurant. At the time of purchase, my Apple Pay transaction showed $53. However, when I checked my bank account shortly after, the charge had come through as $113, more than double what I agreed to pay. This is unacceptable. I did not authorize a charge of $113 and was given no explanation or receipt reflecting that amount. I hope management will look into this and reach out to make it right. Until then, I'd caution others to double-check their bank statements after eating here. read more

Amazing dining experience! Service was attentive and pleasant. Loved how often they would change your plates and silverware for each course. Food was fresh, flavorful, and inventive. I highly recommend stopping here if you get a chance. We ordered the oysters served with a delicious ligonberry mignonette. Scallop crudo was the highlight with a sauce you felt like drinking. Smoked trout pate, mixed with cheese and these interesting black crackers. We finished off the meal with half roasted chicken, had a nice crispy skin; sourdough spaetzle; French friend potatoes and grilled cabbage ceaser. I didn't love the cabbage but it was more personal as I don't like strong fishy taste, as it had pieces of anchovies throughout the salad. read more

A RARE PITTSBURGH GEM! Experienced Fet-Fisk for the first time last night and was very impressed by their diverse menu, wine selection, and overall ambience. The restaurant is classy-casual with a moody vibe and the wait staff was really incredible. We started with the marinated mushrooms and the smoked trout pâté - both were incredible! The smokey-ness of the pâté paired with the fresh shallots and capers was so delicious and the sauce of the mushrooms was unlike anything I've ever had - almost like a Bloody-Mary-meets-mushrooms vibe which may sound interesting but it worked really well together! Our second course was my least favorite of the night in all honesty - the rye focaccia and the cabbage Cesar (unfortunately the only picture I got). The Cesar was a little fishy for my liking with chunks of anchovies within the layers. A beautiful dish, but just not for me. The focaccia and dipping oil were good but again was not a wowing as the first and final course. For our final course we had the spaetzle, gnocchi, and the Swedish meatballs (we were there on Sunday!). Oh my goodness, this was the best course of the evening.... The gnocchi literally melted in your mouth and was served in such a delicious sauce. The spaetzle was incredible, and the Swedish meatballs were the absolute best thing I had all evening. The meat was moist and perfectly cooked, the sauce truly incredible and the pairing with the pickles was *chef's kiss*.... Unreal. To top it all off, they have a wonderful wine menu and even had an orange wine section which I've never seen in Pittsburgh. I got the orange pinto which was a really nice compliment to the meal overall. Really incredible experience. Our out-of-town foodie friends who joined us really loved it too. Will definitely be back! read more

The tote they sell says delicious food, gloomy interiors. It's got great food, but the interiors and exterior could be more aesthetically pleasing. It's hard to even know that you're at the right place since there's only a neon sign that says 'Fine Food'. We sat in the more quiet restaurant side. The inside decor seemed a bit muted, not sure if there's a specific Scandinavian vibe they were going for. Our server explained a lot of the menu to us verbally. One of the things I found interesting was that we were told the Branzino they have is smaller than normal and that it'd be priced lower than the menu price. I thought that great of them and not something everyone would do. We didn't get any complimentary bread here, so we ordered smoked sturgeon pate, which was served with really interesting look crackers. We got a small order of oysters, which were good but pretty small. I had read a lot about the roast chicken and color me very skeptical about roast chicken being great, but I ordered it and yes, these people have pulled it off. It is succulent and it's the sauce and the apples that make it a winner. Would order again. The Spaetzle was nice and light. We got the chocolate torte for dessert and I appreciated the lingonberries with it. I'd be so disappointed if I didn't have lingonberries at a Scandinavian restaurant :-) Everything went right. No complaints. I would give it 4.5. I thought it was a solid night out but not approaching memorable amazing, but my partner was more impressed and would give it 5. Would go again, especially now that I know which unmarked building it is! read more

Such a gem to have this type of cuisine available in Pittsburgh! We made a reservation pretty far ahead, although it appears they also welcome walk-ins too. The atmosphere really set the tone for the meal from the moment you walked in the door. You felt as if you were stepping into a Scandinavian lodge or, après-ski, vibe. Nice dim lighting, many wooden elements and rustic decor and dinnerware. Our server helped us navigate the menu and perfectly coursed everything for us as well. We tired a little bit of everything, but our favorites were the steak and the famous grilled Caesar salad. I'd love to come back and dine again, but would be especially excited to take in the vibes at the bar with a few plates. read more

Absolutely one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The food here is phenomenal.

A spot that really delivers on its promise of unique food and a wonderful ambiance. We thought we had a reservation for Sunday of Valentine's weekend at 9 PM... turns out I reserved a month ahead of time for March 15th. But, they had a table available to accommodate us anyways! One of my favorite places now, certainly on the pricier side, but you will leave very, very full. I would recommend getting 1-2 things out of each section of the menu. This ran us about $195 for two people on a special night out, which is better than other classy spots around the city. Some of the flavor profiles I had in these dishes are unlike anything I've ever experienced before. My standouts were the grilled cabbage Caesar and the rainbow trout fillet. Both just incredible flavor experiences, and we were fighting to finish off that fillet as the final course. Will be going back again and again!

I also thought the cavatelli was yummy, I would definitely order that again. I also thought the meatballs were the best meatballs I had ever had, but my husband who eats a lot more meatballs than I do-didn't like them. The ginger cake was not good, the Panna cotta was, but it wasn't really anything special. Their desserts were a bit lacking. I really enjoyed our experience and would come back. I enjoyed the ambience and the service and I think that this is a great addition in the area. read more

This spot is on the finalist list for James Beard best new restaurant and it's so deserving. The former Lombardozzi's is transformed into a cozy, cool showcase for some really unique and special dishes. The move here is to go with friends and try as many as you can! A lot of the menu is focused on fish, from oysters to mackerel to branzino. I'm a vegetarian and my friends kindly ordered with this in mind, going for the branzino but otherwise getting lots of vegetarian dishes, and I was surprised how many options I had. The marinated button mushrooms with horseradish and chili were a standout for me. So was the rye focaccia and rye cavatelli, made with oyster mushrooms and apple and truffle. Everything is just made so thoughtfully and is so flavorful. The drinks were also interesting. I don't drink much if any alcohol any longer and I'm always looking for a robust Mocktail menu. Here I went for the phony Negroni which was complex and satisfying, and a salted grape soda which you're unlikely to find anywhere else. Desserts were also interesting with a highlight of a floating island. The items I just mentioned may or may not be available when you go as the menu rotates slightly. It doesn't matter, it will be awesome. You owe it to yourself to get on their reservation list. read more

Like the new restaurant with dark overtones and some redish lighting. Service was very good and they explained the menu and answered a few questions. Service included fresh silverware. The Smoked Sturgeon Pate was very good and came with some capers and a few tiny onion slivers, could use a little more onion. The seeded crackers went well with the pate. The Grilled Cabbage Caesar with interesting and could use a tad more grill time and the cabbage was tough. Tasty dressing and loved the Bocarones. The Tartare was very good. some nice fresh horseradish in some of the Tartare and went well with the Caesar salad. Will have to stop back and try some of the other items on the menu. read more

If you've managed to snag a reservation at Fet-Fisk, congrats. This Pittsburgh gem is a highly sought-after experience that has gained a well-deserved reputation for its innovative dishes and eclectic approach to flavors. Reservations are booked a month out, but my secret? Arrive 15 minutes before opening, and you're more than likely to snag bar seating. I kicked things off with a filthy martini, their unexpected twist and rendition on a classic. Served with a trifecta of garnishes, an olive, onion, and orange peel, this drink is a curious hybrid of a martini, gibson, and a twist on tradition. Filthy is an understatement. It's decadently savory without being overly salty, and its velvety mouthfeel makes for the perfect aperitif. The focaccia is okay but cold. The accompanying sauce more than makes up for it though. Its citrus-forward blend with a whisper of tomato lifts the bread to a triumph. I was surprised pickled mackerel as a mackerel hater. The beet relish beneath the fish is punchy and offers a tangy contrast to the typical bold flavor of mackerel. I'm not a mackerel convert per se, but this dish certainly made a believer out of me. The steak, a NY strip, isn't the most tender but still crowd-pleasing. The butter, remoulade-esque sauce elevates and binds the dish together to make it feel unique yet familiar. You're not getting a classic salt and pepper steak, but with Fet-Fisk, what do you expect? Hardly anything here is classic (in a good way). The service is also every bit as meticulous as the food. Staff is friendly and well-versed in menu nuances. There's an attention to detail that persists, and it's a meal that'll make you feel special. I'd say this isn't just another trendy restaurant but a place that brings the same gastronomic excellence on par with the caliber of NYC establishments. read more

Our dining experience at Fet-Fisk was a lovely one, resulting from our spontaneous decision to take the next available reservation that evening. My partner ordered oysters and the trout fillet. I ate the salmon gravlax and the celeriac soup. We both shared the sourdough spaetzle. Overall, the food was wonderful. Each flavor of the dish is harmonious and pleasing. Any guest can tell this restaurant has put so much effort into creating dishes with a variety of flavors and high-quality ingredients. My favorite was the cured salmon gravlax, accompanied by cultured butter and egg yolk, which I highly recommend. The service was kind, helpful, and quick. The restaurant itself had a nice ambiance with lower lighting. After our meal, we shared the chocolate torte with lingonberries which was a sweet and decadent end to our dinner. We will definitely be back to try dishes such as the popular roast chicken and more of the cocktails! read more

If you've heard the hype surrounding Fet-Fisk, know that it absolutely lives up to it. We got a reservation to celebrate our anniversary, and it was the right choice. From start to finish, the food, the service, and the ambiance were all excellent. Our waitress, Sarai, took our order all at once so that she could look at pairings that would go well together and break our dishes up into smaller courses. We loved this, as it left us looking forward to what was up next while not being overwhelmed by the food currently in front of us. Fet-Fisk is a fish-lover's dream. It's far from your standard surf and turf or seafood buffet. The restaurant sources quality seafood, and it was reflected in every dish we tried. We started with the oysters of the day and the pickled mackerel. I don't typically enjoy mackerel, but the flavor profile was very uniquely enjoyable from the smoked beet. I didn't try the oysters, but my boyfriend raved about how good they were. Our next course was the King Ora salmon gravlax, the smoked sturgeon pâté, and the pea and sunflower shoot salad. If there is anything you *have* to try at Fet-Fisk, it's the salmon dish. The salmon, the shaved butter, and the shaved egg all instantly melted in our mouths. We could have just eaten five plates of that. The smoked sturgeon pâté was very smoky (surprise), and the extra onion on the side made for a very nice bit of extra crispness. The salad was phenomenal as well. The small bit of fish sauce tossed in made everything tangy and delicious. Our next course was the steak tartare, fries, and wings. The buttermilk-battered wings on their own were excellent, but the combination of the caviar and crème fraîche sauce was like something straight out of a dream. The only thing that would have made it better would be champagne. The steak tartare wasn't my favorite as I prefer a finer cut in my tartare, but the flavors and the little bit of spice were excellent. And, as a self-proclaimed potato snob, the double-fried fries with aioli did not disappoint either. Our final course contained the spaetzle and the morel mushrooms. The morels in chicken jus were heavenly, and very reasonably priced for the portion size. The spaetzle was good, but I will be zhuzhing it up a bit when I reheat it tomorrow. Our water glasses were never empty, and our waitress Sarai was very attentive. She did a fantastic job coursing out our choices. We were too full for dessert, so we have no choice but to go back! read more
