Little Fish BYOB

Indubitably one of the best meals in the entire city and only doesn’t get the recognition it deserves because of being a byob. The tasting menu is worth your money and a good value. My favorite parts of the meal were the two scallops plates, hamachi and dessert. The ambiance is also just perfect being able to watch the two chefs cook your food in what feels like your own quaint-chic dining room.

Little fish is a gem! You gotta come seafood yourself 🤣 we did a la carte and it was a good choice too. Though the pre-fixe is likely a larger portion per person, you can just get a touch more variety a la carte for the same price. The flavors are well balanced and elevates the food. The scallop toast is a nice standout with chili kick on a well toasted bread. Scallops dish was espe-shell-y delicious.

Intimate restaurant (think the neighborhood joint where the neighbors come thru and the chef actually knows them by name) with direct views into the kitchen. There's about 7 - 10 tables available so definitely get reservations. The oysters available at the time were from Prince Edward island (Canadian east coast) - they were sublime and an easy entry for oyster nubes. Had the bronzino & while the fish was amazing - it was perfectly complemented by the pecan and olive oil base it came served on - I'm VERY happy with this meal and am excited to come back for more.

First time at this neighborhood BYOB and already great that they are a BYOB. The reason for the four stars was the service. While the food was delicious, there were times that we were completely ignored (which is hard to believe when there are only seven tables in the entire restaurant). Otherwise, the meal was a great experience. The oysters were small, chewy (not grainy), and savory. The scallop toast (a restaurant must-have) was a fantastic balance of flavors and textures - it was very well executed. The bigeye tuna was fine…nothing overly special here. The tagliatelle was lemony and creamy without being overly heavy, topped with three beautifully seared shrimp. YUM. If they have it, totally recommend. For entrees, we got the butter roasted halibut, a very sizable piece of fish with matched perfectly with the very creamy and rich sauce it was paired with. The snapper (which was supposed to be a golden tilefish but they swapped out the fish type) was light, fresh and great balance of flavors and textures. All in all, a solid Philly seafood experience. Would go back because it’s a BYOB and in hopes of more attentive service.

Little Fish was overall a good experience which I wish was a bit more well rounded. First and foremost, the service was excellent. Congenial and quick with good recommendations, the service was awesome. The food itself was also great overall, with interesting and tasty dishes. My issues are around the overall experience and actual food received. Each dish was extremely small for the price, and difficult to share due to portions. Really it felt like a menu intended to be a pre-fixe tasting menu but still in transition. The BYOB aspect was nice, but likely won't be back.
