Pleasantly surprised a place like this exists in Syracuse. I didn’t know what to expect going in. The atmosphere had very chill vibes and fitting music. The staff were very polite and attentive. These guys looked like they caught and prepared the fish themselves. I ordered the fish and chips as well as the poutine. The poutine used a curry gravy which was very good. Their fries were very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside as they should be. The fish was well seasoned, flakey, and perfectly cooked. I really like how nicely done the outer layer was as well. The tartar sauce is made in house and complimented the fish well. I would definitely come back here to.try the other things on the menu.

We hadn’t visited this restaurant since they moved to a new location in downtown Syracuse several years ago, where they now occupy some of the space that once comprised the French restaurant L’Adour. I ordered the Captain’s Platter which included fried haddock, 3 fried shrimp, french fries, coleslaw, tartar sauce, and cocktail sauce. It was quite a filling and tasty meal. My favorite part was the fried shrimp and cocktail sauce. I also enjoy the fish but felt the in-house tartar sauce was a bit bland. I’m used to a version that has more texture from chopped dill pickle, whereas the sauce made here appears to have been blended in a processor. The French fries were were ok and the coleslaw was very good. I look forward to trying one of their crispy shrimp Po’Boys the next time we visit. My wife ordered steamed clams, three seared scallops and a sides of potato salad and macaroni salad. They were all enjoyable. The service was excellent and the ambience was casual and fun.

My husband and I were in the city, right near FF and decided to stop in after hearing good things. We got there right when they opened at 4. We immediately liked the vibe. We were greeted quickly and chose to sit at the bar. We ordered a dirty martini and margarita and they were both great. Since it was a weird time we didn’t get a ton of food but what we ordered we loved. We started with the steamed clams, New England Clam Chowder and the Friar Salad. We split the entree of the sampler. I forget what it was called but it came with a huge piece of fried fish, 3 large shrimp, fries and some sauces. Everything was fresh and service was fast. We will definitely be back.

FANTASTIC FISH

This spot is super cute, service is friendly, and the food is DYNAMITE. We tried to get into a place around the corner, but we’re happy to walk-in here. Next time I visit my baby in Cuse, I will be hitting up this joint for sure.

Batter on the fish is flavorful, light, & crispy.

My favorite chill spot for $1 oysters in the area. Love their sangria special on Thursdays. Overall, i am a big fan of the ambiance, the service and the oysters are soooooooo divine.

The Fish Friar has awesome fried fish and other assorted dishes. I have not yet eaten at the restaurant but have gotten take-out a few times and each time the food is perfectly prepared. Even by the time I get home, my food is hot yet still crisp. The Fish and chips are wonderful. The fries are tasty and the fish is perfect. They even have their own specialty tartar sauce which pairs wonderfully with the fish. I would recommend giving the Fish Friar a try if you haven’t.

The food was absolutely lovely and our waiter was super nice. The vibe of the restaurant is very nice; kind of a chic industrial affair. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so if the weather is nice, I’d recommend sitting outside. It’s right by Hannover square which is very cute and is one of my favorite places in Syracuse. So if you’re having a day on the town, I’d highly recommend coming here.

What a nice surprise. We were looking for a seafood restaurant downtown and googled this gem. Short walk from our hotel at Armory Square area. Quaint little restaurant with real burning candles. Food was exceptionally fresh and well prepared. The staff was equally amazing, with a ton of knowledge about the food and the history of the restaurant. Must try when in Syracuse.

Whether you want to sit at the bar or at a table to eat, I loved the atmosphere of this small place.

Overall food was good, but I ordered a salmon grilled cheese which was missing a little bit of flavor or sauce. I would definitely give this place another chance.
