Staff were all incredibly friendly. We dined in on Thanksgiving as it was just one of few restaurants open. The pasta the bartender recommended was my favorite and the saltiness of it paired well with my martini. Also, not sure if it was just for the holidays but they had a live singer and that enhanced the experience. Would highly recommend and come back!

I visited Mrs. Fish in DTLA the night before Thanksgiving with friends, and we had an amazing time! The atmosphere was vibrant and unique, with its stunning underwater theme and the massive aquarium adding a cool, relaxing vibe to the space. The food and drinks were fantastic—every dish we tried was flavorful, and the cocktails were perfectly crafted. The service was attentive, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. She missed a couple of our orders but that’s understandable given she had other table to attend. The music and energy of the place were just right for a fun night out. It’s a great spot to catch up with friends, enjoy some good food, and soak in the lively downtown ambiance. I’ll definitely be coming back!
