    We went early (5 pm) on Valentines Day. Parking was available at this hour thankfully. The restaurant was busy and by 6 pm fully packed. Service was impeccable and the food was good. Amazing happy hour pricing even on a Friday and even on Valentine’s Day. Fresh seafood is notoriously expensive but we were able to eat delicious food and we each had a glass of wine. We escaped for less than $55 before tip. Reel Fish is noisy but we knew that from past experience. This place gets very busy on the weekends. If you can go early, the value is superb. (Happy Hour food and drinks are Tuesday thru Friday until 7 pm).

    The food was unreal! Between us we had bbq wings,marbled brisket, pulled pork & chicken. Big portions cooked to perfection. It was our first time trying corn bread. Reminded us of a suet pudding from back home delicious! The Lockers from Yorkshire, England.
