    Food is always fresh and delicious. Specials rotate often & so many great options all on the regular menu also. The great thing is the specials are also available at lunch. The French onion soup is delicious and served piping hot. Service is always awesome at Fathoms. Bar tender Matt makes a great cocktail, remembers customers names & favorite drinks & makes great recommendations. Wait staff are super friendly and time things well, they don’t rush you but are attentive if you need something. Lots of service support crew. One of our favorite spots.

    Had an enjoyable evening with cocktails and dinner at the bar. Our meals were fresh seafood and well prepared. A bonus was live music.
