What people say about The City Fish

It seems that guests usually focus on the simple seafood preparation, such as oysters, clam chowder, fish and chips, and grilled fish. The generous portions are mentioned, reasonable prices (for downtown seafood), and friendly yet informal staff. The informal atmosphere makes it popular among locals for its reliability and lack of the formal restaurant atmosphere of a seafood house. It is natural that dishes prepared under a diverse menu get different reactions sometimes, but now there are quite a lot of good comments about the oysters, fresh fish, and the atmosphere itself.

Restaurant overview

About The City Fish

The City Fish is an informal San Jose downtown seafood restaurant offering fried, grilled, and steamed dishes. This menu is flexible and goes easily from comforting dishes such as fish and chips and clam chowder to larger seafoods such as swordfish, mahi-mahi, trout, snapper, and shellfish buckets.

This restaurant is especially convenient for group eating since all of the guests do not have to order the same type of seafood. There are various options of ordering a lobster roll, grilled fish with side dishes, oysters, crab cakes, tacos, or a platter of all, while chicken and steak are alternatives for people who do not like seafood.

The format and the portions in this restaurant are easy to comprehend and correspond to the expectations from a seafood house. This restaurant is more of a neighborhood place rather than a place for a special occasion, which seems to be exactly what some customers returning to this restaurant like.
