    We have been here so many times we have stopped counting. The food is always excellent and our guests experienced Fathoms for the first time. They were very pleased! We sat directly across from the bar so it was louder than normal. ( I guess it’s to be expected when people are having fun). We will be back. Love this place!

    The whole experience was wonderful. We go a table out on the deck right away. The service was good and the food was fantastic. We will definitely go back again.

    Clam chowder was way too salty and not traditional and served with a teaspoon because they don't have soup spoons! the fish and chips were decent. Service was rushed. We sat on the deck but you can no longer see out since they put up solid panels.
