The Fra Diavolo called out to me though and I'm so glad it did. By far the best seafood Fra Diavolo I've ever had! The spice, the sauce, the amount of seafood!!! Everything was so fresh, tender, juicy and cooked perfectly. My hubby had the swordfish, he said it was much better than the two other places he had swordfish at while on Block Island. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic. This is one of our very favorite restaurants.

We made reservations for 5:30 pm, arrived a little early, and they seated us right away. We started with cocktails, and complimentary bread arrived shortly after. For appetizers, we ordered the brussel sprouts, octopus, and lamb lollipops. The brussel sprouts were my personal favorite, but everything was outstanding. For our entrées, we had the halibut, scallops, and bouillabaisse. The halibut was absolutely incredible and my favorite, though every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared. We finished with the key lime tart. It's on the smaller side, so if you're sharing with more than two people, I'd recommend ordering a couple of different desserts. We sat in the enclosed patio style dining room, which had large windows, gorgeous views, and lots of natural light. It felt like you were dining outside while still being indoors. They also have a more intimate indoor dining room with low lighting and a cozy ambiance. One of the coolest features is the open kitchen, where you can watch the chefs prepare food. Our waiter was fantastic! He was attentive, took the time to answer all of our questions, and even helped us narrow down our dinner choices when we couldn't decide. We'll definitely be back the next time we're on Block Island. Highly recommend!

We visited midweek, so it was fairly quiet. The restaurant is conveniently located just a short walk from the ferry and offers plenty of seating, both indoors and outdoors. Service was fast, friendly, and especially helpful when it came to identifying which menu items were vegan or could be modified, which we really appreciated. We ordered the B.Y.O. Tofu Spring Rolls and the Pork Potstickers. Both appetizers were generously sized. The spring rolls were fresh and flavorful, but having to assemble them myself at the table was a bit messy and took away from the enjoyment. I would have preferred them to come fully prepared. That said, they were still quite tasty. The pork potstickers, on the other hand, were a standout and an easy favorite of the meal. One downside was that the doors were open to enjoy the beautiful weather, but that also meant we were battling flies throughout our meal, which was a little distracting. Overall, Tigerfish was a great find with good food, knowledgeable service, and a convenient location. Despite a couple of minor drawbacks, we enjoyed our visit and will definitely return on a future trip to Block Island.

The lobster roll had plenty of meat on it and almost no fillers (lettuce, celery, etc) which is just the way I like it.
