My partner and I stopped in at this place on Saturday early afternoon. We ordered a couple of the specialty drinks. They were fantastic! We had their Scratch Chowder. It was fantastic!! We shared the Vampire breakfast tacos and the Baja fish tacos. They were fantastic!!! And then we had a slice of their scratch Key Lime Pie and it was really, really Fantastic!!!!
Excellent food and outstanding service. The sushi was fresh and well prepared. Everything on the Nigiri sampler was very tasty. I’m looking forward to try some more rolls next visit!
Lovely spot! We went last week, (pro tip- go during happy hour for buy one get one half off sushi😋) and got the key lime calamari, Vegas roll, atomic roll and Baja fish tacos, all recommendations from Parker, and they were all delicious and fresh!
Natalia was the best waitress I’ve ever had. I asked her questions about what oysters she recommended and the oysters that we had were the best oysters I’ve ever had in my life. And I’m an oyster connoisseur. Also, she gave the best recommendations about the sushi rolls and the food was so so amazing!
My husband and I really enjoy going to Smokin’ Fins. On our most recent visit we had the lobster stuffed avocado appetizer and it is a must get! We also got the mahi and the salmon and both were excellent. I’m also obsessed with their cheesy cilantro rice.
Consistently delightful dining here, it's become our new Friday night haunt in the vibrant Old Town Avada center. Service is top end with knowledgeable, well-informed personal attention. Happy hour at the bar tonight. Martinis, shaved Brusselswith cauliflower and breaded avocado stuffed with crab and lobster. Wow!
Really lovely time! Unlimited mimosas, tasty sushi, good priced kids meals, and the honey chipotle salmon was delicious. Such a lovely treat!
