Review on Trip Advisor – “We were a group of five and dined at Fish on Parkyn last Friday night. Our reservation was for 7.45pm but a person in our party was delayed, so we were the last group to be seated for the evening at around 8pm. We were also the last group to leave. We all thought the service and food was absolutely wonderful. Our waitress had excellent knowledge of the menu and struck the right balance between professionalism and friendly banter. At no stage did we feel rushed or that we were an inconvenience. Quite the opposite and indeed, we were encouraged to order dessert despite the restaurant being empty by then and staff were clearly packing up (we declined due to our full bellies!). All of our food was beautifully presented and very fresh and tasty, and our wine glasses were kept topped up throughout. We had a perfect night and can’t recommend this place highly enough. Thank you to all of the staff.” – Mark T

Review on Open Table – “What an experience, this isn’t the first time we have dinned at pier 33 but it was the most memorable. From the moment we walked in staff were very attentive and throughout the dining experience we had at least 4 staff come to the table to take orders and serve food they even talked about were the food was from. Highly recommend the lamb shoulder it’s cooked to perfection and the coconut margarita was delicious!” – Dani
