What People Are Saying About Little Fish

In Short – This inviting neighborhood spot delivers fresh, sophisticated seafood takes in a casual, open-kitchen, BYOB setting. Chef/owner John Tiplitz personally delivers bright and healthful twists with creative spins on classic dishes. The menu changes daily, yet many dishes are smoky and sweet thanks to expert pan-searing. Striped Bass, with orzo, clam and corn, littlenecks with fine herbs and shallots, and Greek-style frisee satisfy the eclectic fare.

I didn't want my meal to end

by girlinphilly

I can't say enough good things about Little Fish.

Since I went a few weeks ago, I swear I have been dreaming about the halibut I had (and all of the other meals I didn't have). The fish was perfectly done- flaky and not-too-dry all at the same time. The flavors were amazing and the portion size was perfect. I left there full and satisfied, but not stuffed, even though I cleaned my plate. We ordered 2 appetizers for our table of 4 and while they were very good, they were definitely on the smaller side. The space is very cozy - only 23 seats so our reservation definitely helped us. We were not rushed out after we were done our meal like you are in most BYOBs. The waitress was really friendly and passionate about the food at Little Fish.

Overall, I loved it and will definitely be going back!

  • Pros: the food! the neighborhood! the service!
  • Cons: the restaurant is very small

Cozy restaurant, yummy food!

by seattlespagirl

I came here while visiting family in Philly. Had a wonderful dinner. Started out with yummy bread and pesto-ish dipping sauce. YUM. The (huge) scallop appetizers were yummy! My entree was salmon.....it was also wonderful. Plus the squash and other seasonings were wonderful. I even had my first oyster and it was yummy! I def thought it was well worth $50.

  • Pros: yummy fresh fish!
  • Cons: the lady who checked our coat was awfully rude and pms'y
