    Branzino

    Stylish and modern place for a nice meal. The drinks were really nice and the staff is friendly, I think our server was Xavier. It's a great option if you want to try different snacks. I'd definitely recommend getting the bread and or fries with whatever you order. The lobster butter was definitely the star of the show. The Crudo was nice and refreshing. The crab roll was tasty and the Bronzino was nice and crispy. It's a little pricey so you're kind of paying for the vibes too.

    Fish shop has such a fantastic happy hour, we love the fish sandwich and the burger. We go the lobster toast this time and the clam chowder to try it out. Everything was so so good and the service is always quick and friendly. We also love that they are on inkind! They also give you a little fortune fish with your check which is the cutest addition. The decor is light and airy!

    I want to be upfront and say that my nephew is actually a sous chef here, but this is not a solicited review by any means. He was off that day and simply brought us here to eat. I am sharing this because the food and experience genuinely earned it. Everyone was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in and the ambiance honestly reminded me of being back home in the Pacific Northwest, which I was not expecting in Austin but loved. Now let me talk about the food because there is a lot to cover. We started with cocktail shrimp, oysters and a Caesar salad that I am still thinking about. The Caesar comes out in this big beautiful bowl of whole romaine boats, already dressed and finished with freshly grated Parmesan. They suggest you eat it with your hands and honestly that made it even better. It was my favorite thing on the table and that is saying a lot given everything else we ordered. We also got the Nashville Hot Fried Oyster Toast and let me just say, if you are not a spice person, proceed with caution. I thought it would just have a little kick but Nashville hot means Nashville HOT. That said it was absolutely delicious and I would order it again. The cocktail shrimp were fresh in a way that actually surprised me, and I am from the Pacific Northwest so I know fresh seafood. I was not expecting that level of quality but I should not have been surprised given the caliber of everything else. I ordered the fish and chips which featured fried Pacific rockfish and Irish chips. These are not your standard french fries. They come out in these thick long cuts that are perfectly crispy on the outside and taste like creamy mashed potatoes on the inside. I did not know how to explain them in the moment and honestly I still do not but they were incredible. My husband & nephew went with the burger and loved it. They customized theirs with a fried egg on top which looked amazing. And for dessert my husband had the bread pudding, which he said just melted in his mouth. He has had bread pudding plenty of times but said this version with the freshly made whipped cream was on another level entirely. The whole experience was great. The vibe, the food, the service, all of it. My nephew has great taste and clearly works somewhere special.

    Cute little seafood place. All of the branding is very apt and aesthetic. The best thing on the menu might just be the halibut crudo, it's amazing! They also have matchbooks if you're a collector

    Good seafood is hard to come by in Austin but this place has it! Although it will cost you pretty penny, I would say worth it. The vibe in here is fancy but also coastal and cozy. They did a great job for how small the space is inside. Service was extremely personable and helpful. We started with the Caesar salad and lobster toast. Caesar salad was great but nothing out of the ordinary. The lobster toast was something else. The bread was soft but toasty, the lobster was perfectly cooked and the sauce was buttery creamy and savory. Lobster toast is a must order. I also tried just one boiled shrimp because it was almost $7 per shrimp, and it was the best shrimp I've had in Austin. Perfectly cooked. I wish they had them on a happy hour menu. For my entree, I tried their famous fish sandwich. It was good but not great. The fish batter was crunchy but the whole sandwich was too salty. It was good to try but would definitely try something else next time. We also tried the branzino. The fish was cooked perfect but the dish was also very salty. Overall, really liked the vibes in this place and the appetizers we had. Definitely want to come back and try more. They often have specials that look great and the happy hour also looks great. Came in on a weekday and was able to sit at the bar right away without a reservation. Parking is just street parking on E 6th.

    We had the burger, fish sandwich, oysters, and spaghetti and clams - everything was amazing. Spaghetti and clams was the best thing we tried, can't miss menu item. Fish sandwich was flames as well. Got a nice bottle of white wine and was the perfect evening. Service was great too and her recommendations were amazing.

    Good sea food spot with a bit of unconventional dishes. Service here is quite good. Everything inside is fish themed. The food and drinks is on the higher side but it's still worth a try. We already pregamed elsewhere so we couldn't get a chance to try the drinks. It seemed like reservations get filled on weekends towards mid shift but we were able to get a walk in at an earlier time.

    We walked in right at opening on Sunday afternoon and were able to get a table for two. The restaurant is decorated in an everything fish. It was not busy and we got our food somewhat fast, but also we only ordered two things total because we already had drinks and some oysters elsewhere just earlier. We ordered lavash which was not bad but a little plain. I felt like maybe a bit more citrus would benefit it. Schnitzel was interesting and also quite filling. I don't have much more to say about this restraint but overall it was a good experience.

    Halibut Crudo - excellent!
    Candice N.

    We had a great experience at Fish Shop. Sitting at the bar we realized halfway through the meal that the owner was tending bar / serving us our drinks. Very friendly and very proud of her establishment (I would be too!). It's a cute little spot, perfect for date night. We actually loved the sound / music playing -- we complimented her on the placement of the speakers in the restaurant and how great the sound was coming from the speaker (my husband is a former long-time musician so he notices stuff like that). Everything we ordered was delicious -- save your pennies and splurge.

    The Fish Shop is a super cute seafood restaurant in East Austin with a solid and varied menu. They also offer a fantastic happy hour, and their Filet-O-Fish-style burger is easily one of my favorite items--I've come back for it more than once. A few dishes were more hit or miss for me. The clam chowder was thinner than I prefer and had a sour, lemony flavor that didn't quite work for me. The crudo was also inconsistent, with some pieces tasting overly salty. On the other hand, most of the oysters were fresh and enjoyable, and I loved the lobster toast topped with caviar. The portion is quite small, but it's delicious. Overall, The Fish Shop can be a little inconsistent, but it's still worth trying, especially if you're open to ordering a variety of dishes and finding your favorites.

    Went out for a night on the town in East Austin and stopped in for happy hour at Fish Shop. I've been wanting to check out their Filet O'Fish Shop sandwich and it delivered. This sandwich is worth every penny. A beautifully fried and crispy beer battered Pacific rock cod filet, laid on a bed of house made pickles and thinly shredded cabbage, topped with American cheese and a beautiful house made five herb tartar sauce. It all comes together on a clarified butter toasted brioche bun fresh from Sour Duck Market. This is easily the fanciest fish sandwich I've had and it just shot to the top of my list of some pretty amazing fish sandwiches. It paired perfectly with a great $7 house Martini. I will return to try some of their other amazing looking seafood on my next outing to Austin.

    The spaghetti with the not so fresh clams served lukewarm.

    Lowering my review. We went here on a Sunday and were quoted a couple hours until they'd have room for us which is fine. Once we were seated the waiter took our drink order. It took some time but the waiter apologized that the bar was backed up. Then we put in our orders and we waited an additional hour for our food. The food came out cold. I got the spaghetti with clams and the clams had an awful fishy taste to them - not very fresh at all. Others in our table got the lobster roll which hardly had any lobster and was extremely oily and salty. Also the food was barely warm - so i assume the dishes where just sitting there for quite some time. Luckily it didn't take too long to settle the check and we were able to split the check. However, this was not the experience that I had previously which was great and unfortunately i got a stomach ache the next day so it could have been the not so fresh clams. For the price they charge I would expect better quality and more refined service. I would say pass for now.

    Not pictured is the dressed oysters but they are an absolute must, we are still talking about them and the lobster toast. Such a fun casual but great spot to get your oyster and seafood fix. The options are great, the staff is super nice and we will be back! We loved sitting on the sidewalk and people watching. Highly recommend putting fish shop on your try soon list!

    I went to Whisler's and had one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had…read more I had one drink. I was completely sober for all intents and purposes. The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.

The service was great, albeit there wasn't a big crowd. Everything came out quick and the staff were super attentive. The music was fun and vibes were great! I got to say that some happy hour prices were totally reasonable. Not boozy libations... but ok. However, $17 for a small cocktail? Joking right? Prices were from $5-$17 for everything from draught, premixed, and mixed but I feel like for that price point you are competing with bars that can be more creative with their drinks for a few bucks more. Is it worth a go? Sure! Recommend. Looking for basic cocktails at a reasonable price point- maybe. However they do focus on Mescal themed drinks if that's your thing so it's a bit of a niche. Comparing this place to legends like Roosevelt room isn't fair- but at least RR are heavy pourers! I left far from boozy which was fine for a weekday. IMO- Charge less for cocktails on happy hour. But I understand the $$$ for the location is extreme but I don't feel these are happy hour prices for drinks. Food- absolutely.
