I ate at this restaurant last November (see my review for that dinner, too) and while the food was good, the waiter was so horrible, we did not stay for dinner after our appetizer. But I did like the food and wanted to give it another chance. We arrived for my birthday on May 29th starving. We had had cocktails... more

We're from NY and are pretty picky about food. Flying Fish had probably one of the best seared tuna entrees I have ever had. Just great more

My partner and I are new to the area. We have been twice to Flying Fish. We find it quite good. They C*&#t that wrote the review regarding the crab is seriously flawed. She claims to be a seafood expert, from Denver no less. We shared that dish this evening. We found it some of the best crab we have... more

Up-market prices on dinner, but good value for a nice seafood lunch. Patio seating on sunny days. Impecable service, local, seasonal. Very Seattle. more

The prices on the menu do not reflect the actual prices due to size variations each day therefore it is highly misleading. I ordered the salt and pepper dungeness crab which was just "ok" by my standards as I dine at some of the finest restaurants across the western half of the U.S. I was not adequately informed by my... more

Our experience: GOOD: littleneck clams in red curry sauce were addictive - I wanted 3 more bowls. BAD: menu items (invented daily) were strange-sounding and unappetizing. Waited refused to recommend anything. We finally just ordered appetizers. Lamb ribs were NOT rib chops, and were the worst pieces of lamb (fat) I've ever tried to eat. Sent back. Ceviche was shrimp... more

For seafood, this was by far my least favorite restaurant in Belltown. I could not find a single dish that looked appetozong. So I settled for a random dish that I could barely finish. Disappointed. more

The menu and ambiance looked enticing so we decided to eat here. The waitress acted like we were an inconvenience. Then came the food...I ordered a halibut dish with white beans and a saffron yogurt sauce. I did not taste saffron or yogurt. Everything was mixed in a bowl and all i could taste was black pepper. The other two... more
