I've been looking forward to trying this spot for a hot minute. We had a table for 9 which was ready immediately upon arrival. They were fully packed on a Friday night in the summer. A telling sign! I started out with a Blue Moon and they served us delicious croquettes while journeying through the menu. I went with the Special of the Day -- Key West style Bronzino, a Mediterranean Sea bass which included lemon, Hewlitt Slaw and Tin Fish seasoned rice. Delicious! Some of the other orders that stuck out on the table were the Tin Fish Lobster Roll and their sushi. This is a great spot to add to future Happy Hour journeys. Their Reuben of the Sea looks like a great option for a future lunch time!

I was so excited to come here with my family! We made a reservation for a Friday night and it was popping!! The restaurant itself is beautiful with a nice seating area with plenty of tables and a large bar with TVs and some high tops. We started with multiple sushi dishes as appetizers which were absolutely fabulous. The sushi chef is from Argentina which apparently has one of the best sushi schools in the world. I was blown away by the quality, presentation and flavor. The fish comes in fresh every day Everyone at my table thoroughly enjoyed their meals from the salmon, snapper, pork chop and linguine. My favorite was the snapper with sautéed vegetables. Our server was Nikki she was super funny and nice. One of the managers Dean came over to our table he was extremely accommodating (and handsome!!) you can tell he truly loves what he does. Dean was so kind to us he brought us out a dessert plate on the house. It had deconstructed tiramisu, cheesecake and zabaione which I had never heard of before. The zabaione was everyone's favorite it was tangy and creamy. Absolutely loved it!! Overall I was absolutely stunned by the sushi and will most definitely come back here!! Loved it!!

Excellent experience every time! Hidden gem in Boca serving great seafood and amazing sushi. They have happy hour daily and live music every Friday. Highly recommend!!

Located in the Doris strip mall, this was a nice find. I love finding local small restaurants to support and will definitely come here again. We came here on a Sat for lunch. Nikki provided great service and we really enjoyed the food. The prices were very reasonable as well. We ordered the Cesar salad with salmon add on and the ahi tuna appetizer. The ahi tuna appetizer was a very generous portion and I ended up just having that as my entree. They also gave us complimentary salmon croquettes, which was a very nice touch and delicious. We will definitely come here again.

We had a decent lunch here although we didn't have very much to eat. I'd been to their restaurant in Sunrise and was looking forward to a similar experience. That restaurant is a casual fish place with good food and reasonable prices. This place, however, is the Boca-fied version -- more upscale with white tablecloths, a stiffer vibe, and a more expensive menu. There were a lot of older "ladies that lunch" while we were there. Even a 98-year-old's birthday party filling a large round table in the middle of the main dining room. It didn't seem like a place that would welcome families. Service was friendly and apologetic. Their sushi chef was not in yet (he was running late? There was a difference of opinion of when he was supposed to arrive), so their sushi menu was not available nor was the guy that did their oysters. They could do poke, but that was all from that select menu. I wanted to try their baked stuffed clams that I'd seen on their regular menu. After checking with the kitchen, they were able to make them for me. I ordered a half dozen. I was told they would take some time to make, so I ordered a small Caesar salad to have while I waited. The small Caesar was much larger than I'd anticipated. It had minimal dressing, so I asked for some more. The Caesar was a lot of dark cut up romaine with small croutons and shaved parmesan cheese. It was okay. Shortly after they served the salad, the clams were delivered -- much sooner than anticipated. I probably would have ordered something after the clams instead of a salad first had I known. The baked stuffed clams were served with lemons and two small, tiny bottles of tabasco sauce. The clams were very tasty. I liked the breading and the bite of clam in every shell. I'd order these again. My husband who had wanted to order sushi, wound up ordering a large Caesar salad just to have something. It was a slightly bigger version of the one I'd had. Three quarters of our way through his salad, we were told the sushi chef had arrived. By then, he was almost done and past wanting anything else. I'm glad we came and tried them. Now we know.

Finally, we have a place in Boca Raton where you can eat great food, enjoy excellent service, and enjoy live classics music on the weekends! It doesn't get any better than this.

We enjoyed this restaurant. Was quite happy with my crab stack appetizer( sans dressing ) which was large enough to be an entree and then some ( I couldn't finish it ). It consisted of crab, raw tuna and avocado. Comes with chips that were quite good . My kids devoured their sushi sandwich ( be warned for spicy food lovers only ) and seafood tower. Portions are large and prices are fair. Services was a bit slow but friendly and overall fine. Easy parking in a typical Florida strip mall. I'd return.

Had a date night at Tin Fish Boca. Anyone that knows me knows that I will literally find something wrong with every restaurant in SoFL. We rarely eat out because we cook better at home. Finally a great restaurant in Boca. We had Grilled octopus starter, Crab Stuffed Grouper Key West style (a sick lemon butter sauce), Grouper Fish & Chips. The best, most interesting Cole Slaw (IDK how I can even talk like that about Cole slaw) Great atmosphere, great service (thanks Dino). We will be regulars here for sure. #foodporn #seafood #datenight

The ambiance would be fine for a lunch or dinner, date night small or large party. The service was excellent. The bread platter and salad were delish. The Rubin sandwich was good. I didn't care for the coating on the fish cod. I'm used to a batter coating and this was seasoned bread crumbs. For my taste is was too salty. The chef came to my table and said it is a long standing recipe. I was told I could order it with panko unseasoned. It was great atmosphere and the lunch was served beautifully. Next time I will try fresh grilled fish hold the salt. I think I will give tin fish a second try.

Our family's evening at Tin Fish Boca was nothing short of fantastic! The food was excellent, the staff was wonderful, and the fact that we were there for one of their first nights of service at their new location capped the experience off as fun and memorable. For Chef Joe Melluso and his staff (Vince was our awesome waiter) the evening was fraught with challenges, much beyond their control (think technology). However, none of this impacted the quality of what was coming out of the kitchen - it was all fantastic! The polite and accommodating demeanor of the staff exhibited under pressure made the evening even more special. Our family of five remained patient and understanding, recognizing the inherent stress of opening a new restaurant and knowing they were doing their best in a very stressful situation. We've all seen the show Chef, right?! Our patience truly paid off, our meal was incredible - much of it pictured below. The conch fritters and sauteed calamari (appetizers) were great, the seasoned & coated (crispy) whole branzino melted in your mouth, the mahi mahi (one order "simply grilled" and one "Tin Fish saute") were both perfectly prepared, and our non-fish eater loved his penne a la vodka. The truffle fries and sauteed mushrooms were both superb sides. And a special shoutout to Chef Joe for including the cole slaw recipe from the Hewlett Fish Market (walking distance from where I grew up on Long Island), so it felt like coming home for me. But, the true pièce de résistance for me was the lobster roll. It was the best I have ever had - anywhere. Our meal was wonderfully slow, relaxing, and filled with laughter, so despite all of the amazing food we had just eaten, we were still interested in trying some dessert, and I'm so glad we did. We shared a slice of key lime pie, as well as a slice of some sort of decadent chocolate cake with a caramel(?) sauce. By all means, save room for dessert! Our dinner will go down in family history as a pinnacle experience. The combination of the very well-prepared dishes, welcoming environment, and hard-working staff who appreciated our laughter and patience made for a wonderful evening. We truly can't wait to go back the next time we visit our Boca family. Thank you, Chef Joe and staff for a great evening!

A new restaurant in the Yamato Village Center where there is a Doris Italian Market & Bakery. We have been to their predecessors. Very busy . They have a huge menu offering mainly fish, sushi, steaks and chops, and seafood. Everything is a la carte including and on the pricey side. I told them when i made the reservation that it was my wife's birthday and reminded them when they called to reconfirm the reservation. Never happened. Our server started reciting the menu and was very attentive but then became elusive. My wife was hungry due to a late lunch, so she ordered the Lobster Bisque, served with Oyster crackers and a California Roll. She really enjoyed both . I opted for Fettucine Mixed seafood, mahi, salmon, mussels, shrimp, and clams in a choice of white or red sauce. A nice dish, light on the pasta and the fish was thin and dry.

The Tin Fish has only been open for about a month, so the issues we encountered may improve over time. At our 7:30 pm reservation on a Saturday night, we were not seated until 7:50 pm despite seeing others seated ahead of us. The hostess eventually offered to seat us by the bar since a table in the main dining room was still unavailable for our party of 4. A seat by the bar is probably much louder than the other side of the restaurant so this was unfortunate. The restaurant is very loud due to live music, making conversation difficult. Whenever the music would stop - it was a welcomed relief. I think many people have commented on this - I hope management considers lowering the music so guests can hear each other. Our server, Vince, was friendly and offered half off our first round of drinks because of the delay, which we appreciated. He also let me sample another drink on the house - strawberry, jalapeños, tequila, smoke - it was really good. The service was slow, possibly due to the restaurant still getting up to speed. We tried the calamari and kaboom shrimp as starters, which were good but the portions were not very big. The burgers we ordered arrived before the grouper entrees. So 2 people got their meal 20 minutes before the other two. This was unacceptable. Putting that aside, the grouper key west style with rice had a large portion size and was delicious. Because we are seafood lovers, we may consider coming back for lunch or a weeknight dinner when it's less busy. On a Saturday night, it's unlikely we would return unless they make some improvements. We found it difficult to get the attention of servers and managers when needed, which was disappointing considering the higher prices of the dishes (for example - we wanted lemon for the fish but no one came by. Water was empty and not refilled......and nearly impossible to get anyone's attention - our server was running around so I believe they're understaffed). In its current state, the service needs to be improved. Overall - the food is very good but there are still many issues that need to be worked out.
