Reviews
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!
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.
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.
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:)
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.
