on Citysearch Nov 22, 2008Was visiting my folks ont in the south suburbs for my dads birthday and took them to Tin Fish. This is as good a restaurant as any I've been to in the city. Cape scallops were to die for and the skate wing with roasted... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 09, 2007The food was good. We ate dinner at the bar and the bartender was too pushy, too much of a "salesperson". We left feeling robbed. It ruined our dining experience. We haven't been back since. It's too bad because we... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 26, 2005I dine at Tin Fish frequently, and have (almost) always have good luck. The fish is super fresh and I don't mind paying a little more for quality. Service is solid and believe it or not, the busboys are noticably sharp.... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 15, 2005As stated before, this restaurant is well placed in a stripmall outside of downtown... because if it were in town, they would be out of business. Slightly high prices for very average (but well dressed) food, slow... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 02, 2004The prices were way too high for what you received. My husband ordered a fresh fish of the day, and that was ALL that came on his plate. Not even a garnish. It was so salty we had to send it back for a different piece of fish... (more)

on Citysearch May 09, 2004<b>In Short<br></b>The rectangular dining room has a mix of cozy booths and wooden tables, with several mounted fish as decor. "Flown in fresh daily" is the mantra here, and a half-dozen fish entrees let you... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 12, 2003...because this restaurant would not survive in the city. After reading several stellar reviews, we made reservations on a recent Saturday night. We showed up about 20 minutes early and informed the hostess team we... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 02, 2003Clams on the half shell were big & fresh, but I can't stop thinking about the Buffalo Shrimp. If nothing else, go for the Buffalo Shrimp. It's not what you're thinking... not deep fried at all. I can't explain it, you... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 22, 2003Oysters on the 1/2 were the best I've had in the Midwest. On a Friday night they were out of Salmon, so I had to choose an alternative, Tuna I recall, done perfectly to order. My wifes New York Strip was done perfectly to... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 01, 2003I was less impressed than most by the service and the food @ Tin Fish. I thought the scallops could have been firmer, and the server...well was amatuerish at best. Although, maybe the lack of table vigilance may have... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 03, 2002I had one of the greatest dining eperiences here! I was surprised to find such a cool place so far from the city. I was told to give it a try and sure enough, the seafood here rivals any I have had in the city and the actual... (more)
