The majority of reviews on Yelp have been positive.
"So fresh, crunchy and juicy. The sauces were definitely a plus!" wrote one diner. "I've honestly always just used ketchup but I was recommended to try the Sriracha Aioli and it hands down is the best I've tried. We were all very impressed at how good the breading and juicy the fish was. Definitely, a must try!"
"The batter is crisp and flavorful, inside the fish itself was warm and tender. The truffle and parmesan-infused fries were just plain decadent….Run don’t walk."
