City Fish Market has become my absolute go-to for fish and chips. It used to be Johnson Fish…read moreMarket, but this spot has taken the lead for consistency and quality. While it can be a little pricey at times, you get exactly what you pay for--freshness that most "fast" options can't touch. The real advantage here is the ability to kill two birds with one stone. I can grab a high-caliber prepared meal for lunch and pick up my raw seafood in the same trip. While I know spots like Apple Tree and A Dong Supermarket are good, they just don't carry the variety of seafood that I actually eat. City Fish Market fills that gap perfectly with a selection that meets my specific standards. Pro Tip: Call ahead for your order. The lunchtime line can get crazy, and you don't want to be caught waiting when you're just looking to get in and out.

We stopped by for a quick bite to eat…read more What was ordered was Fried Whole Belly Clams, Clam Chowder and a Fried Shrimp Dinner. The Whole Belly Clams were cooked to perfection. Moist and delicious. My Shrimp was lightly battered seasoned well. Just like I remembered it to be. The Clam Chowder was lack luster. To me it seemed to be pre made from a bag. The broth was on the beige/tan in color. The concept to order cooked food whether it is to go or here you would get in line. Order and wait to be called by number. We opted to stay. Ample amount of seating. Friendly and helpful staff

Had an incredible dinner at Max Fish and it honestly delivered across the board…read more Started with the lobster bisque -- silky, rich, and absolutely amazing. The clam chowder was just as good, thick and loaded with flavor and ingredients in every bite. The grilled octopus with potatoes was a standout -- perfectly tender (not rubbery at all) and packed with flavor. Oysters were fresh, crisp, and just straight up delicious. For the main, the paella was -- rich, loaded with seafood (shrimp, scallops, calamari, mussels, clams), and cooked perfectly. Paired it with a light beer which helped cut through the richness and kept everything balanced. Service was on point and the ambiance made it a great overall experience. Definitely a spot I'd go back to.

Max Fish used to be my favorite restaurant. I love fish, and I felt they always made fish front and…read morecenter to everything. They used to have "simply prepared" on the menu that was just the fish, with seasonings and complementary sides. That's gone from the menu. It was always perfectly prepared and complimentary to whatever fish you were having. Last night, that changed for me. I have noticed over my last few visits a change in the restaurant. At first, I thought it was just my tastes changing, but last night proved me wrong. I had the "North Atlantic Swordfish Saltimbooca". The description was "Proccuitto, mozzaella cheese, sage mascarpone, white polenta". Polenta is usually soft, with the fish on top. This was polenta soup, with the fish literally swimming in it. In addition, it was greasy. There was a lot of oil around the side. And on top of that, the mozzarella formed a rather nasty hard cheese coating on the fish that I removed to the side with my fork. It was one of the most unappetizing things I've had in a long time. The swordfish was completely lost; no flavor at all. After a few bites, I gave up on it. I also noticed that drinks have gotten smaller. I ordered a martini. It used to be quite generous (it is a $16 drink after all). The glass last night was much smaller, at the same price. The wine was good, but that was about it. VERY DISAPPOINTING. I should have gone with the Fish and Chips! Hard to mess that up.

I met a bunch of ex-coworkers for apps and drinks, we did not have dinner…read more We sat ate the bar and orders a several appetizers. Calamari, wings and one base on potato chips and a sauce. All were good but the chip appetizer was a bit unusual. The wings were grilled, not deep fried. I was drinking old-fashioneds. Very tasty and well made. As we sat ate the bar, I watched the bartenders and saw they made the drinks with care. We ended with the 12 layer chocolate cake. Insane! Do not order this by yourself. It was moist, chocolatey, delicious and HUGE! See the attached photo.

Good food and friendly service…read more Stopped in for lunch earlier today. Bread and butter to start, and ordered an assortment of Balkan items as an appetizer, which came with a traditional bread that was fresh and warm. Various meats were all tasty, as was the slaw. I ordered the assorted seafood and pasta. Wow! Excellent dish. Loaded with seafood and perfectly cooked spaghetti, in a well done red sauce. My wife loved her eggplant parmigiana. Sister-in-law had the salmon and veggies and said the salmon was a bit over-cooked but was really full with flavor. A friend gad a fish dish which she said was really good. Portions were all very large. Clean, comfortable space, with local photos (that were theme appropriate). Server very attentive and eager to please. Cappuccinos -- 3 of them -- looked great and my coffee was hot and quite strong (but I like strong coffee). Nice lunch at a reasonable price.

Snow crab was nice and sweet. Just a little hard to get out of the shell. Wish we had one of those pic like instruments. It would have made it easier than just the cracker. The mussels were really good and the shrimp were great with the sauce We both went with a Soho special which is their signature sauce and we did two scoops for the heat level. It was perfect. Just a little bit of heat. Not too spicy. I liked being able to try all the seafood in the feast boil, but I think my favorites were the snow crab, clams, mussels, and the shrimp so I might just go with those next time. Servers were friendly and although I didn't have a drink I heard they were strong.

They have a really good creamy garlic dressing and a champagne vinaigrette. They also bring out crackers, breadsticks and bread. And after your meal they bring out a fruit bowl with fresh fruit, which if you don't have room for you can always have them wrap it up so you can take it home. I will say I do miss the Italian almond cookies they used to put in the basket of fruit. And they also bring out hot scented towels to clean your hands so you don't go fuck with the fishy smell.
