| - There's something fishy about the Fishbar, but that's an awesome thing. After reading the great reviews about this place here on Yelp, my two dining companions and I went there for my birthday last week; happily, Fishbar definitely did not disappoint.
Out of all the dishes we ordered, the ceviche and salmon tartare were the biggest standouts. The salmon was delicious: mild and so so fresh, mixed with teensy sweet apple pieces. The ceviche was refreshing and zingy, and perfect with the accompanying fried sweet potato "matchsticks." The pan seared arctic char shouldn't be missed, either -- cooked perfectly, totally tender and moist. I also really dug the shrimp cocktail Caesar, which was nicely spicy and perfect with the giant shrimp attached.
The one detractor about the experience is that this restaurant gets loud when it's crowded. It was hard for me to hear my table-mates and be heard. It was especially difficult for my mother who is, shall we say, a little bit "older", and her hearing is not as good as it once was.
Despite the noise, the experience at Fishbar was overall very positive. I love the fact that most of the seafood on the menu is certified sustainably caught, plus the service was stellar. Highly recommended!
