    Our waiter Craig was excellent… I mentioned when I made my reservation that it was my husbands birthday but nothing was mentioned :(. We have been here many times and are not one time visitors so that was disappointing. I do t think the waiter was told anything so not his fault…

    Shrimp and Grits were great. We have been to Paddlefish a couple of times for lunch but this was our first dinner there. It is an excellent dining experience for dinner and very nice for lunch.

    We were in from out of town and invited our friends who are locals. They had never been, but had read reviews that the service was not great. We were first seated on the third floor in a small room that was like a bar next to a clean up stand and we’re not happy with our seating so we went back and waited to be seated somewhere in the main restaurant the noise level was pretty loud. It took a very long time for a waiter to come over to greet us. We wanted to place our drink orders then. He said he would come back took quite a while for him to come back. Then we placed our orders for everything at once because we already knew what we wanted to eat already and although I am sure it is not his fault because the restaurant was very busy and he had a lot of tables. The food took quite a while. It was good, but our guests were not overly happy with their items and said they would not come back. I felt terrible because I recommended it because I have been before and really enjoyed it

    We have been to Paddlefish for dinner before and throughly enjoyed it. This wasn’t the case this time. With a reservation made weeks in advance we were seated in a very bright and noisy section. Not an ideal setting for a couple on Valentines. We felt like we were at a frat party. The food was just ok…definitely not memorable. Service was slow with the delivery of a glass of wine being after my husband finished his main course when ordered prior to receiving his main. Overall very disappointed and not sure we will return.

    They sat us in an area for families with crying children. The cod stuffed with stove top stuffing was terrible. Shrimp and pasta was tasteless and tons of salt and parmigiana cheese just to keep it down. Expensive waste of time, effort, and most importantly MONEY. We had better cafeteria food… Yes that bad!!!
