I HIGHLY recomend The Original Fish Market!!!!!!!!!!!!

by GiasMommy10805

The Original Fish Market is one of the greatest late night spots to eat in the Burgh! If you're looking for class, great service, friendly staff and AWESOME food...then this is the place you want to go! My boyfriend and I eat at the fish market at least 2-3 times a month. It is a little pricey, but it is all worth it! One thing we always get is the sushi. It is so fresh and appealing. I've never eaten sushi like it. I love sushi and I've tried so many places but The Original Fish market has the best!! And their fillet mignon just melts in your mouth like butter. They have some of the most biggest king crab legs I have ever eaten. They were so big when i got the meat out of the shell I literally had to cut it with a knife. But great food, great atmosphere, great service. You have to go!

• Pros: Food, service, atmosphere
• Cons: Pricey

Good sushi, awful service

by sushi_81

For a restaurant that charges incredibly high prices for good (not outstanding) sushi and fish, they surely do not know how to treat their customers. The service is awful. It's a shame, because I love the food there, but have had a couple of really poor and upsetting experiences there, enough to make me not want to ever go back.

There's always Umi and Monterey Bay, you fellow sushi and fish lovers out there...

• Pros: good sushi
• Cons: unaccommodating management and poor service, prices

Rudest Treatment Ever Received

by dinepgh15232

My friend and I were, until tonight, frequent customers of the Original Fish Market. We always drive in and use the complimentary valet service, have a wonderful meal, and then get our parking validated and leave. Tonight, when we tried to get our parking validated, we were told that tickets are only validated if we spend $50 or more. (Our meal was $44, but was $54 after tax + tip). We were surprised because no one had ever told us about this rule, nor was it posted by the valet stand or in the restaurant. The Fish Market staff informed us it is the valet's job to inform people of this rule when they park -- however the valet staff adamantly denied this is their job, and refused to go get our car. We went back to the restaurant and pleaded for them to just validate our parking, as we were only $6 shy of $50, and neither of us had enough cash on us to pay the valet the $12 + tip parking fee. The fish market REFUSED to validate the parking, stating "Its our policy" over and over again.

I feel it is inappropriate for the Fish Market to penalize customers for being unaware of a policy that is not posted anywhere in the building. The valet company and the Fish Market clearly have not communicated their parking policy well, and who is blamed? The customer.

We ended up just having them charge a few more dollars to our credit card so that the total came up to $50, and the car was finally retrieved. Needless to say, we will NEVER return to the Fish Market again. I hope they are happy that they have lost 2 excellent customers.
