It was a pleasant dining experience. The food was delicious and the ambiance was lovely. The service was ok for the price. The raw oysters were very fresh and the side vegetable dishes are all very good. The sea bass is especially excellent. The presentation is esthetically pleasing and beautifully done. I would recommend this place.

Really good, high quality meal! We ate here for their 7 fishes dinner and were very impressed. Crab with caviar was incredible and their breads were freshly baked and very good. Great wine list too. Dessert was ok

We had an awesome time at Vernick Fish! The food was incredibly flavorful and just the right amount. For the two of us we got one small plate and 2 large plates no room for dessert! The complementary sourdough with honey butter was a pleasant surprise! I LOVE octopus and Vernick’s take was perfect, my favorite part of the meal! Just the right amount of crunch and flavorful, don’t sleep on the verde sauce, I wish I could have taken it home to eat more often! The curried cod was wonderful and the olive flavors with the sea bass was a refreshing and flavorful! We loved the eggplant too! Everything was perfect!!! It’s not cheap, but you certainly get what you pay for, and we loved it for a social night out!

Vernick Fish is absolutely worth the splurge for a special occasion, date night, or an elevated seafood dinner. From start to finish, everything tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared- easily some of the best seafood I’ve had in the city. While it’s definitely on the pricey side, the quality of the food, attention to detail, and overall experience make it worth every dollar. Our server was exceptionally kind, knowledgeable, and happy to walk us through the menu and answer questions, which made the night even better. Not an everyday spot price-wise, but one I’d happily return to when the occasion calls for it. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an outstanding seafood experience.

The entire aesthetics were quite nice. Very fitting for the city atmosphere and hotel finesse fitting a Four Seasons spot. The Jerk branzino was tender, seasoned well with salt and the coconut base with spinach was delish. There is an option to order an app, entree and dessert for $49. Watercress salad had beautiful color, texture and flavor. The blackened salmon was tender. Potatoes were crunchy and soft on inside. Cabbage slaw was mediocre with much flavor. Chocolate mousse was good with crunch and crème. Lajas drink was strong - you can tell only top quality liquors. Carrot cake was dry but good per my guest. Service is very slow. May need more staff. We spent more time waiting than anything else. Maybe the branzino took longer? Waiter forgot the carrot cake but no issue and we took it
