Oh, the TUNA! Mmmm....
The ambiance, the service, the everything - awesome!
Mmm....TUNA.....
My table had the salads, salumi platter, scallops, and roasted pepper plate. All were awesome. The salumi plate looked more 'clean cut' than I am used to, but it was still tasty.
Oh! But the tuna. Did I mention the tuna? So so good. Not your average tuna steak. A vegetarian at our table ate a whole plate. Yes, it was that good! Â
The ice cream, while delicious, didnt knock this gals socks off. I would have preferred flavors that showcased fresh berries or fruits. Potato/potato.
Go! Enjoy! Get the tuna!!
Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Great decor and ambiance. Excellent, knowledgeable and friendly service. Best if all the seafood is amazing. Fresh and gourmet prepared. The tuna and halibut are highly recommended. Wonderful non-traditional Caesar salad. The oysters were out if this world. Loved the wine list and helpful sommelier. This is not 'cheap eats' but well worth every penny. Best restaurant experience of the summer!
Review Source:The meal, atmosphere and service I experienced recently at Jamestown Fish was nothing short of perfection! Â
My experience started by enjoying an excellent glass of house white wine and listening to a great singer/guitarist outdoors on Fish's beautiful patio. Â After a brief wait for my table, Â I went inside to enjoy my meal. Â
My appetizer was a sashimi trio that included salmon, tuna, and white fish with fresh avocado slices and a nice green salsa accompanying it. Â This allowed me to taste Fish's fresh selections in their most basic form and they were among the best I've had! Â
For my main course I decided on the scallops which were served on a bed of superbly spiced vegetables including turnips, kale, and leaks ( The chefs, who were nice enough to meet me and hear my praise after the meal, have such attention to detail with the specific veggies, spices,  pairings etc.)  I am from the midwest  but love great seafood.  These scallops for their  freshness, preparation and presentation were the BEST I have had the pleasure of eating!  The chef told me that Fish gets shipments of the finest quality seafood daily so you are insured that your selection from the constantly evolving menu is the best that is available that day.
After the meal, I ordered decaf coffee which was robust and flavorful. Â Fish prides itself on world class, homemade ice cream. Â They change the flavors often and are constantly coming up with new selections. Â I ordered a trio of ice cream that included Chocolate/Banana, Pistachio and Espresso. Â Again the attention to detail of the ingredients made this such an amazing taste experience! Â The pistachios were very special I was told and they sold me on a flavor that is usually not my favorite. Â The other two flavors were on par with the best gelato I have eaten in Venice, Italy.
With excellent service, selection, and atmosphere, I will surly be returning to Jamestown Fish! Â All the best!
Dog Friendly patio.
Decided to cross the bridge and visit Jamestown. Had the pup with us as we heard it was fairly friendly towards dogs. Sure enough Fish didnt have a problem with us eating outside. So we settled down and had a nice lunch. My fish and chips was good, not greasy and a good serving size. The wife had the burger because she still cant do fish, but it as very good. Both where what most Americans would consider to be 'small' servings, which was fine with us. You dont have to eat until you are bursting, but I wish the price would have reflected the size of the meal a little better. But then again it is a block away from the water, so it is to be expected.
I ate at Jamestown Fish last night. Â It was restaurant week and they really showcased their incredible restaurant. Â I started with the Jamestown fish stew; outstanding. Â My husband had the roasted red pepper, prociutto, morzarella appetizer; generous portion and wonderful.
Our main course was the skate and monkfish dinners. Â The flavors were very good, and the vegetable were steamed perfect. Â Next was dessert. Â The ice cream is homemade and out of this world. Â The Java Chip was the best coffee flavored ice cream with bits of health bar crunch through out. Â The poached pear was fabulous and I highly recommend it.
The portions were perfect, the wait staff attentive without hovering, ambience lovely. Â
I can't wait to come back and eat my way through the whole menu!
Came here with my girlfriend for Newport Restaurant week and was not disappointed at all. We made last minute reservations on a Friday night and was able to get the time slot that we wanted too.
Once we got there we were promptly seated in their relatively small, cozy dining area. There was a roaring fire going and luckily we were not seated next to it since it would have been way too hot.
For the restaurant Prix Fixe meal, my girlfriend started with mache salad over grilled spicy scallops with tomatoes. I had the local sardines in Venetian style. Both very good. As for the entree, I had the Monk fish and my girlfriend dined on the linguine with clams. My Monk fish was firm and fresh. Also not even a hint of fishiness. If you know what a Monk fish looks..or maybe you don't want to know what it looks like. Just eat it! My girl's linguine and clams was full of meaty clams and linguine was soft and tender.
For desert, my girlfriend had a baked Bosc pear soaked in red wine. They cooled it down before serving it and it was actually had a good balance of tart from the wine and sweetness from the pear. I had the Guinness chocolate cupcake. It was dark, rich and chocolaty.
Service was excellent and the waitress even came by and scooped up the crumbs on the table left by me with a metal scooper! I think I subconsciously leave some crumbs on the table just to see if they do that :)
I would come back to maybe try out some of their seasonal entrees. It is worth the view and atmosphere.
I had the best tuna in my entire life here recently. I have eaten fine tuna on three continents, and and this... this was some spectacular tuna. Seared perfectly, mostly rare, butter-smooth, and covered in some kind of tingly herb concoction that complemented the richness of the tuna with a tangy fresh greenness....
It came with Brussels sprouts. They were good enough to stand up against the tuna, which says a lot.
My companion had the hotpot. Half a lobster, scallops, tons of shrimp, the biggest mussels I've ever seen - fantastic.
The service was very good, attentive without being too intrusive. I'd also like to point out the quality of the olive oil.
We went here for the first time last night and had a very enjoyable experience. Â The place is beautiful. Â They spared no expense. Â The service is spot-on, though a bit stuffy. Â Cocktails were excellent and the eggplant appetizer was fantastic. Â Arugula salad was good.
I ordered the one vegetarian entree and asked the waiter if they could make it a certain way. Â He went back to the chef and they were both most accommodating. Â The result was exquisite.
So why 4 stars and not 5? Â The dining room is too sterile. Â They need some points of visual interest to break it up. Â And the lighting is not right. Â Too bright. Â So if they can remedy these and reduce the stuffiness a tad, I'd give it 5 stars. Â I'll be back.
My friend reminded me of part of the stuffiness. Â Here's a quote from one of the entrees on the menu "Try it without Cheese please." Â Are you kidding? Â Can you say "pompous" ? Â Well, if you like pompous, this is your place. Â This should really be removed - or at least rephrased - IMMEDIATELY.
For a change of pace from my usual glass of (dry) white or white wine, I asked the bartender if he could concoct something delicious and light (in taste and calories) on a very humid summer day. He asked if I was willing to trust him and I said "sure." Â
Before my eyes he concocted a cucumber martini  (made with cucumber-infused vodka of course) rimmed with alternating bands of freshly ground sea salt and pepper corns. It was light, refreshing, and of course had a very nice "bite" to it. I found it to be the perfect way to end a lovely summer outing day with a friend. We did not have any food but the bar food that I saw being served looked pretty darned fresh and appetizing. I hope to return another time to try that out as well.
Overall, I found the bartender, (including the entertainment of watching my cocktail being made), the other wait staff and the customers surrounding us, to be engaging and delightful. I highly recommend their Cucumber Martini.Try it before summer's gone!
Great concept - fresh food, no freezers, etc but service was slow (party of 8 at 530pm on a Wednesday). Â Verbena mojito was nasty. Â Regular mojito was great. Â Friend had their signature seafood dish - big trough of seafood - which he liked. Â My schrod was fine but bland despite description. Salads were great (arugula and tomato-mozzarella). Â My 9 year old still talks about the grilled king salmon she had.
Review Source:My husband and I ate at Jamestown Fish twice while in Jamestown. Â First, for lunch seated outside. Â I had lobster salad over arugala and it was quite tasty. Â My husband had the lobster roll and though delicious, was smaller than others we had in the area. Â We returned for dinner our last night in Jamestown and sat inside as it had been raining that day. Â It was really nice and more upscale inside. Â We shared the lettuce and gorgonzola salad, which they kindly split for us. Â It was delicious, light and fresh. Â My husband had the linguini and clam sauce and I had fish (can't remember the name - it was a local fish that I hadn't heard of before). Â We both enjoyed our meals. Â On to dessert! Â The pot of chocolate was out of this world!! Â And they make homemade ice cream! Â I had mint chocolate chip. Â It tasted like fresh mint! Â So refreshing. Â All in all a great experience with attentive service. Â Would go back.
Review Source:I hate this, a new restaurant opens and they spend a ton of money on the decor and no attention on the food. The outdoor patio is beautiful and the dinning room is gorgeous. The menu lack creativity and food tasted plain. I had the Lobster roll and the lobster was chewy and have no flavor and to top it off it was served on a brioche bun which should have been a good thing. The bun was flat in flavor, I would have preferred a bread that had a better texture. Others at the table had the Fish and chips, Â the RI Mussels and the Clams and oysters. Nothing was bad but nothing was great. I love "downtown" Jamestown and this place looks like a winner, if they improve the food (i.e. taste and portion size) they will get a good following.
Review Source:We had a private party of 15 celebrating a graduation party. The chef Matt and serving staff were incredible.
Not only is the place beautiful; it is quiet and relaxing. A great fine dining experience. There was not one bite of food that wasn't delicious; with each main course rivaling another in taste.
The bar is also nice and there is outside seating upstairs outside the bar.
5 Stars Plus! Where we live, we certainly have our fare share of fantastic restaurants and have been to many. Jamestown Fish is definitely at the top of our list! We only wished we lived closer. The décor is understated: simple and elegant with touches of natural wood accents among the comforting blue walls and white trim. A great blend of historic New England design with some modern touches.
Everyone in the restaurant was having a great time. We could tell all the other diners were actively engaged in lively conversation and fantastic meals; they were truly enjoying themselves (including us).
The food is among the best we've ever had. Kudos to chef Matthew MacCartney. He's brilliant! His blending of ingredients is refreshing in the sense it's truly unique and not the same old thing. We love experiencing new foods and combinations and his menu did not disappoint.
All of our choices were excellent: the homemade mozzarella and roasted red peppers and also the salumi appetizer (absolutely top-notch, from the best salumeria in NYC). The potato puree was super: super creamy and super buttery. To top it off, it was served in a mini Le Creuset cocotte and was a welcome surprise that added a touch of uniqueness and flair. The homemade sausage was delicious; not too greasy, flavorful and cooked to perfection. The night we went we had the sole with horseradish cream sauce. It was an amazing combination and the sole was as fresh and delicate as you could get. The calamari in Zimino with buckwheat pasta (in red sauce) was tender, fresh and the pasta was cooked perfectly.
The presentation of our food was something to look forward to. All our appetizers and main courses were served elegantly. We couldn't wait to see how our next dishes were plated; each was presented differently.
I've read about the staff and it's no wonder everything is top-notch: their passion is food, wine and spirits and making diners happy...and it shows. Our server was friendly, warm and welcoming. She not only answered all our questions about the menu how each dish was prepared, but she was extremely knowledgeable about the wines that are served at Fish. She suggested a perfect wine to accompany our meal in the price range we requested.
Dessert did not disappoint either. The coconut panna cotta was undescribeable and the chocolate soufflé was the best I've ever had. Â
We can't wait to go back in the summer to enjoy the patio and to be surprised all over again.
Pretty good but NOT a Wow! A nice transformation of the space that used to be Trisha's Caribbean Grill. Serving staff was top notch. Our meal was very good, ingredients were fresh, meal was generally tasty but lacked the panache to make this a truly great dining experience. Loved that the Exec Chef took the time to table hop and chit-chat with the guests. Maybe the development of a signature dish would serve to anchor the menu which changes daily to assure the freshest seafood and ingredients (a plus).
Portion sizes were fine. Prices are generally what you'd expect at an upscale restaurant. Really hope this place can develop a real persona and give the Jamestown dining scene a seafood dining alternative.
Had dinner there last night and I was very happy with the service. Â The whole team was very good. Â Dinner was good but I was a little un-happy with the size of the crab appetizer. Â Also, there was a family that was related or had a friendship with the oweners and they really took advantage of it. Â Their young child was running all over the place and they thought it was cute. Â It was not. Overall I liked the place would consider another shot at it......I think it might be a little to up-scale for Jamestown. Â Not to say that the population can't afford it but the Island is a little more laid back.
