Overall I do like this place - delicious fish and a terrific early bird special that can't be beat. However it's definitely a place of pro's and cons: PRO's: - fantastic fish - yummy baked potato, huge and covered in kosher salt which gives a big flavor oomph - garlicky pasta side dish, though not gourmet, is somehow addictive -... more

Place was empty, when we walked in,yet we get the worst seats in the house. Go explain. Nice way to treat customers. Bread? Let me guess, 2-3 day old bread? Maybe four.? and just Three tiny little slices of bread in the basket. Are they kidding? A 2x4 would have been softer to eat. The side dishes offered for a... more

We went to Village fish for what we thought would be a simple and peaceful fish meal. I don't know if it was because it was new or because its in such a tiny place but the restaurant was absolutely packed and so loud that it's impossible to hear anyone at your table. Most of the tables are right next... more
