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.

We had a wonderful dinner at Vernick Fish at the Four Seasons Philadelphia. The service was excellent- attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. Everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor, truly showcasing the quality and creativity the restaurant is known for. We ordered a side of crispy potatoes, grilled black sea bass
braised mustard greens, peanut broth, cornbread, roasted cod
coconut curry, bok choy, shiitake, thai basil and warm apple cake
granny smith apples, cinnamon, honey oat crumb with vanilla ice cream.
If anything, we felt the portion sizes on the dinner menu could be slightly larger, even at a higher price point. With such great flavors, you just want a bit more! Aside from that, the overall experience was fantastic.
A helpful tip: secure parking in advance, as the street construction in the area can make finding a spot challenging.
Overall, a refined dining experience we’d definitely recommend.

The interior was charming, and the food was delicious. It was a restaurant with a lot of business lunch meetings. Our server was also very friendly. However, the woman who brought us the check at the end was a bit rude, which left a slightly disappointing final impression. The female staff need a bit more training in basics such as attire, grooming, and overall professionalism in a restaurant setting.

Incredible meal, fish was all so fresh and flavorful. Lots of creative dishes. Desert is a must as well, enjoyed the meringue yuzu pie (says for two but could’ve devoured the whole thing myself)

The staff was just as incredible as the meal. The seafood was some of the best we’ve ever had! Going for lunch made getting a reservation easier and the atmosphere more laidback.

Vernick Fish — Thank You!
We came for a celebratory dinner. Although we had a reservation, we typically enjoy sitting at the bar and asked if two seats were available; they weren’t, which was completely fine. We were seated in a lovely room and warmly welcomed by a gracious server who promptly brought water, drink menus, and helpful cocktail recommendations.
Service throughout the evening was attentive and seamless—swift but never rushed, kind, and precise.
The food was beyond delicious:
• Amberjack crudo
• Yellowtail crudo (thank you chef!)
• Tuna tartare with crème fraîche and caviar (special)
• Filet de Turbot for two with lemon beurre blanc (spécial) which Ericka filleted perfectly
• Crispy potatoes with Parmesan crème and pickled shallots
• Warm apple cake (with a few extra scoops of ice cream!)
We wouldn’t change a thing.
Ericka (apologies if misspelled) truly elevated the entire evening. Her knowledge, professionalism, and quiet confidence were exceptional. She guided us effortlessly through the menu with precision and warmth, striking that rare balance of attentiveness without intrusion. It’s service at this level that transforms a wonderful meal into a memorable experience.
The backserver was excellent as well.
We live within walking distance and, after a decade in Philadelphia, regret not trying Vernick Fish sooner. We’ll absolutely be back—especially to see Ericka—and look forward to experiencing the bar at some point as well.
Thank you for a lovely evening.
P.S- cocktails were delicious as well:)

Everything was delicious, and the staff was kind and attentive.
The oysters were fresh and flavorful, and the dessert was outstanding.
The atmosphere is lively, and the restaurant gets fully booked in the evening — make sure to reserve in advance.
