Goldfish

Look elsewhere

I do not feel that Goldfish is worth the prices that they charge. Our food was fairly tasty, but the service was horrendous. Server was unpleasant and ignored us during most of the service. Entrees were brought to the table half way through our appetizers. Restaurant is extremely loud as it has poor acoustic planning. I had to shout to communicate with both our server and my friend seated directly next to me. I will not return and will not recommend to others.

• Pros: Restaurant is visually attractive
• Cons: Horrible service

Decent food marred by horrible presentation!

While the food and ambience was good, a restauarant that has alacarte items to order with your dinner should be alacarte. I got a plate of fish with lump crab meat almost covered by alacarte sauteed spinah and jack grits. Shouldnt alacarte be in a seperate dish and prepared for people to share and taste? Presentation is important, especially in times like these! There are too many restaurants to eat at that have it down. This was made up for by our server who was courteous and prompt and brought out a desert to compensate for the overbearing plate. Dont know if I would go back unless they get it together.

• Pros: Great Server, Decent Food
• Cons: Bad Execution in the Kitchen

A great dining experience

We went as a group of 8, my wife and I, our 4 parents, and our 2 teen daughters. The waiter was attentive without being overbearing.

Everything we tried tasted fantastic, from the soup and salads, to the sushi, to the entrees. I'm used to my fish being either slightly overcooked or over seasoned. At Goldfish, it was neither. The sea bass special was cooked perfectly, with minimal seasoning. Our table also had mahi-mahi and grouper - both of which were outstanding. The sushi was fresh and delicious.

This was a birthday celebration, and a dessert was brought out by the waiter - everyone else ordered and they were top notch. This is not an inexpensive meal, but if you want a special dinner, I highly recommend it.

• Pros: convenient location, valet available
• Cons: not much, maybe a few more "non-fish" options
