Very nice atmosphere! Our waitress Sarah, was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Just keep in mind, if you chose to dine outside, prepare to contend with some pesky birds that will steal your food 🤣🤣🤣🐦‍⬛

My friend and I are staying at an air b&b nearby and decided to try out fish tales before we went to pleasure pier. We sat upstairs to enjoy the view of the water. Our server, Sarah S., was so helpful and very patient with...us. I guess you could say we're a little indecisive but she kindly answered every one of our questions and even helped us find some others things we could do while we are visiting. It was a great experience, so much so that we will bring back the rest of our group later this week. 5 stars for Sarah!More

We visited Fish tales today before we boarded our cruise ship for a light meal and a few cocktails. Our server, Sarah , was so kind and very funny actually. If we could give more stars, we would. She signed up my father and I...for the landrys membership cards too so we will definitely be back to see Sarah again next time we are in town. We had a great time.More

Planned to go to the chain across the street and the wait was hours. Went to Fish Tales and sooooo glad we did! We walked in with a party of 16 and our waitress Sarah Skir was amazing! Drinks and food came on time and...she handled our walk in big party like a pro! Her recommendations were spot on and got out multiple bills all right! Thanks For helping us start our cruise trip on a great note Sarah!More

No free parking whatsoever! No thank you! We’ll eat somewhere else. You used to be a favorite place to eat, Fish Tales, but until you provide free parking, you’ve lost our business.

Sarah was our wonderful server. Very attentive, personable, made us feel at home. We love fish tales, started off with the seafood gumbo, alone is worth the visit. Then had Redfish San Luis, excellent. Looking forward to our next visit.

Yesterday was my daughter's 5th birthday and our server, Sarah made it extra special. She brought her out an ice cream for dessert and stayed at the table to sing happy birthday with us. Emma left with a big smile and asked if we could...do it every year. I left with the appreciation for our server going above and beyond.More
