Reviews
Our dinner started out great, waiter was attentive and had suggestions we really liked for drinks, we started with the caviar service which was bites of banana bread with a spread that I think was also banana flavored. The idea was to eat the caviar on the little bread bite with the cheese spread, I think all of the ingredients were great on their own, caviar was great, and bread bites were great with the spread as well, but together the banana flavor took away from the caviar taste in my opinion.
Moving on to the courses, the salad that was on the menu was bitter which was fine but it just not what you would expect from a restaurant in this caliper, the lobster risotto was good but lacked some flavor. The rest of the dishes were pretty phenomenal, the steak may have been one of the best steaks I’ve had, the down side was that we waited 30-40 minutes to get our final entree (the steak and potato) before the dessert. All tables around us had gotten theirs and were already done. Within this waiting period, the waiter didn’t check in at all and we had no drinks or food for that 30-40 minute period.
Dinner started at 8:30 and we left around 11pm, that’s how long it took.
Outside of that I still think it was one of the best meals we have had and would recommend. I just wish we left with an exceptional experience after spending $900+ for two people.
We opted for the tasting menu where the food was chosen by chef, each course arriving was a nice surprise!
The oysters were nice and fresh, the scallops were massive and tasty. The other dishes were equally tasty and well cooked.
Unsurprisingly there is a very comprehensive wine list. We had a couple of bottles of Californian white selected by the sommelier, both were really good.
We shared:
Oysters – their mignonette sauce was so unique. Very light but packed flavor!
Salad – Fantastic! Variety of fresh greens. Light and bright
Sea bream – love the char grilled flavor and the accompanying sauce
Rolls – don’t sleep on these even though they are a fluffy cloud
Fries – the homemade ketchup was on point! Not overly sweet.
– we tried all the desserts. the sundae was soooooooo gooood. the cacao nibs and caramel. the coconut dessert was my favorite! the presentation was cute, the coconut ice cream was so airy and flavorful. Some wizardry ✨
They were super helpful with our gluten-free person at the table. My only note is having one more GF substantial side option for lunch since rolls & fries are not.
Can’t wait to come back!
The service was excellent and the sommelier was truly wonderful helping with our wine choices. The decor was not appreciated as we were surrounded by mounted animal heads, not what one would expect in a fish focused restaurant.
If it was less expensive, I would consider a 5 star review for Angler, but at the very high price we paid, I have greater expectations.
The dishes are creative but still let the seafood shine, which I really appreciate. Service is excellent—friendly, attentive, and never stuffy.
It’s definitely a high-end restaurant, but the vibe isn’t overly formal. You can relax, enjoy your meal, and just have a really good time. If you love seafood, this place is absolutely worth checking out.
Also really wide and great wine selection. You gotta take a bottle if coming here! The wine guy really know his wine – super helpful!
Only complaint is that our white wine glass is so brittle and two got shattered during our dinner here.
Another thing is the place is much noisier than most other similar restaurants.
pro tip: they encouraged us to pack up the dishes if we were getting full, surprising but delightful
oysters: fresh & creamy
shisho tuna bite: refreshing with great texture
ceviche: another high quality dish, great creamy sauce
raddicio salad: wish they chopped it for us but one of my highlights and a unique dish! you’ll love it or hate it
frog legs: another standout, perfectly fried
scallop: the cream sauce was top tier & scallop perfectly flaky
mushroom: tasty, crispy, franks hot sauce type cut through the other rich dishes
parker house rolls: solid dish but have had better in the city
sea bream: fantastic, lemongrass marinated; smoky
scalloped potato: too rich and dense for me
sundae: must try! crispy cacao nibs with salted caramel sauce was great
I was especially a fan of the Oysters, Sea Bream, and Trout, Shinko Pear & Shiso. Honorable mention to the scallop (though I’m not typically a scallop fan).
Special shoutout to Rafael, who really brought the whole experience together with the best service.
Overall worth a visit
