Tin Fish

Looks like I wasnt wrong. Place has been closed down now forever.

Expensive drinks, weird intimate setup that has no «feel» to it, strange people doing lines of cocaine in the bathroom. Never liked this place and only ended up there in times of desperation and meeting friends. Go somewhere else.

So bad not worth one star! Too bad it’s a dump! Very poorly managed. We should of predicted after host was so incompetent. It’s just another club wanna be.

Walked in on Saturday at 10. $ 10 per person cover charge to come into a seafood restaurant with a DJ playing. Good luck with that. You will be out of business in 6 months. And good riddance.
EDIT ³⁄₁₈: I was wrong. I guess it only took 10 more days for you to go out of business.

When we entered the restaurant there was no one to seat us. I had to walk over to the bar tender and ask if we should seat ourselves. He then seated us. There was only one waitress on the floor working. She was pleasant but very busy. We were in the restaurant for 24 minutes and never placed our order. We got up and left and went to Bar Louis next door. Was very disappointed with the service at the Tin Fish. Will not return.

I wish I would have read the reviews here before going. It wasn’t as bad as a lot of people made it out to be, but it wasn’t all that great either. We went for Valentines Day (on Saturday as we were both swamped Friday) and as we never have been there before and knowing how all of the restaurants in Partridge Creek tend to book up fast on the weekends, decided to make a reservation.
When we got there the place was pretty empty which was indicator number one that something was up. There were a handful of people at the bar, but not many in the actual dining room area during the peak dinner rush hours on a weekend. After being sat I pulled up Unilocal to check in and saw that people I consider friends on here and tend to trust their reviews all had negative things to say. I try not to prejudge places based on others experiences, but it was a bit hard to in this case.
It took about five minutes before our waiter came over to greet us and when I looked up at him I was taken back a bit with surprise. He was wearing a tracksuit! I immediately thought «am I in some cheesy Mob movie here?» and then looked around to my surprise that this was their uniform. Really? Okay… Other than his appearance and his tardiness to get to the table he did an overall average job. No real complaints here.
Food wise, it just wasn’t anything to write home about. We got the Spinach Artichoke dip and it was very soupy. It was more like a loose queso dip with chunks of spinach and artichokes in it. Aside from being thin it wasn’t very good. I am not a seafood person so I opted for the Gorgonzola Steak. I love gorgonzola and it is much better than blue cheese when it comes to steaks in my opinion so I was anxiously awaiting to try it.
Again, this too was just average (I am starting to think this is the overall theme for my review). The steak was cooked how I had wanted, but the problem was that it was a bit on the fatty side and was underseasoned. Speaking of underseasoned, the green beans it came with had absolutely no flavor at all. They were basically just steamed and tossed on the plate. No salt, pepper or anything. Luckily though there was a little bit of butter left over from the rolls they provided us which helped. The garlic mashed didn’t have any garlic in them either.
Upon leaving and passing through the bar, I get what Barbie M. meant about the crowd of people that frequent this place. The term «douche» is too much of a compliment to give them. I had to hold my breath as I walked by as it reeked like someone broke multiple bottles of Drakkar Noir on the ground. Needless to say I think this was a one and done experience for me.

By far the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. The food was nasty and the waiter was nastier. NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN!!!

I came here for a work party, it was organized by someone else and I had never been to this place previously. Initially, I was impressed by the looks of the place. It seemed contemporary, a little swanky even. The hostess directed me to the back room where the party was taking place. It can be separated from the remainder of the restaurant by a velvet drape. Which was nice except they continued to seat other not in our party in the room, so they never closed the drape.
I got the standard glass of cabernet. It was fine but I soon realized for our party of at least fifty, we only had ONE waiter. Now, he was absolutely fantastic but he couldn’t keep up with the demand. I took over half an hour to get a glass of wine. For dinner, they were screwing up orders left and right. They forgot to bring out items, forgot about food allergies. I got the filet which was mistake. I ordered it medium but by the time I got it, it was more than well done. I was starving by this point so I ate it but it wasn’t good.
As time wore on, the dj started playing and it was quite obnoxious. I guess this is a place to come to dance and drink on the weekend but I wouldn’t come to eat here again.

Ick.
Came here for cocktails with a group of gals after dining at another restaurant in the mall. We should have stayed where we were.
The bar was out of a couple items, so we couldn’t get exactly the drinks we wanted. not even on a weeknight! But the bartender was really friendly. So we gave the place a chance. for about an hour.
I was appalled by the condition of the bathroom. My friend actually went in when we first arrived and told an employee of the mess. Then I went in on our way out to find nothing had been done. The garbage was heaping and there were paper towels all over the floor. I mean almost over ½ of the entire floor, not just in front of the garbage can. C’mon, empty your garbage periodically! Two toilets were plugged up. Ewww! I immediately turned around and walked out. I felt like I needed a shower after just being in that disgust.
There actually was a decent cover band, but I found the stage was in an odd place. behind the bar elevated pretty high. you may need a neck brace if you watch for too long!
As far as clientele, looks like a few regulars hang here. cougar-​type women and a variety of guys 35+…
I’d be fine if I never step foot in that place again. maybe it was an ‘off’ night, but I saw no redeeming qualities. A dumpy representation of a usually decent chain. A lot of attention is needed here.

Ugh… I wish we checked Unilocal before we decided to come here. Disappointing all the way around. The service was really poor, the atmosphere was unimpressive, and as my husband said rather than a restaurant with a bar attached, it’s more of a bar with a restaurant attached. The food was alright but the service was a deal killer. We will definitely not be going back. If at Partridge Creek, skip this option and choose somewhere else.

Went here for drinks when no one was around. Can’t complain about much but nothing stood out either.

With the exception of a waiter that hooked my alcoholic Beveridge up, I was not impressed with this restaurant. The crab cakes, for $ 10 were Crap. Overcooked and came with a cheap ranch like sauce. I ordered the pot roast, big mistake. 60% of it was giggly fat that was inedible. It was my first time going there and my last. I was Pretty bummed out about it.

I don’t know why I’m bothering to write a review, I think it’s public knowlede that this place is in serious financial ruin, and will be closing soon anyhow. I had fun though, tons of people to flirt with, the band wasn’t bad, the crowd was a little older, but it was still a fun night. Darryl our waiter/​bartender extraordinaire, did take care of us, this was nice… But… Geez it’s EXPENSIVE! $ 10 for a drink… I think not… It was fun to let loose a little, but I won’t probably go back here, and come to think of it, neither will you! HA! ;-)

Nope. Not a fan. Tin Fish is trying too hard to be a piece of scenery they saw in a show about young, cosmopolitan trendsetters. The only problem is that they are not good enough for that scene. This place reeks of pretension and bad food. I had the cashew encrusted chicken, which was dry and burnt. Did I mention it was the size of a ballpoint pen and only cost a kazillion dollars? I had just come from work, and ordered a black coffee to help keep myself awake. The waitress came back at least three times after ordering it to let me know «They’re still working on your coffee», what is there to work on?! I’m not mad about that as much as I am perplexed.
I don’t foresee a time where I’ll be heading back.

I felt like I was in some ghetto bar in the middle east. Any Americans here? A bunch of over aggressive drunk boaters grabbing chicks butts. No thanks. Rude people. Nice bar staff but the patrons suck.

The food ranges from ok to very good, but not great. I like all of their fish, I am not a fan of their scallops, but i love their calimari, mussels and martinis.
This place comes alive after dark on Thursday, Friday and Saturday with a rocking band (Planet of Fun) and a more upscale, older croud.
It is true about all of the debochery that youve heard about at the Tin Fish. Last Thursday I saw a couple in their 60’s dry humping and finger banging on a barstool! I assumed that they were married (?). Not everyone is so promiscious and this place can be a lot of fun.
Tuesday night is for the younger (under 30 croud) with discount drinks.

This was my first, and most likely ONLY experience in dining at Tin Fish. I’ve been meaning to try it — but the façade seemed slightly intimidating and not accessible to the average joe.
The décor was… confused, to sum it up in a word. Graffiti, crystal chandelier, industrial beams, ornate hand-​blown glass fixtures, and provincial banisters… Hmm.
The food… take your money elsewhere, seriously! My friend and I shared the featured appetizer, a Sesame chicken dish with jalapeño bananas and raspberry sauce. Sounds intriguing, right? Well, it was more like the flavors of a whole days ‘s worth of meals in one: raspberry jam (breakfast), sesame chicken (entrée), and the carmalized bananas (dessert). It was the equivalent to what I imagine that bubble gum from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to taste like.
For the main course I had the salmon niçoise salad. Nordstrom Bistro makes an AMAZING version, and Tin Fish’s was not even close to being as balanced or made as well. The vinaigrette wasn’t evenly distributed, and the lettuce seemed rather wilted. Though the salmon had that good cooked on a wooden plank flavor, it was slightly dry and didn’t jive with the composition of the salad.
My friend had a chicken cesear wrap, and I sampled her fries. Very delicious, crispy yet flaky on the outside, dense and warm on the inside.
For dessert we split the chocolate cake with walnuts. It was dry and bland. Surely Sarah Lee makes a better chocolate cake.
All in all, for what you get for the money, I’d recommend dining at any other restaurant in Partridge Creek other than Tin Fish!

This place is a chameleon.
Before 9pm, nice quiet place for dinner. I have never had a bad meal here. They have a pre fixe menu that is very reasonable with a good selection. The experienced and attentive servers are there during the dinner hours. I have never had bad service here.
The Food. I am in love with their Lobster Bisque. The Ahi Tuna is excellent every time. I have had calamari, salmon, various chicken dishes and some desserts. I enjoy my meal here every time. They also have great deals until 10pm on weekdays if you sit at the bar. The bartenders are wonderful, and polite if you come here during dinner or lunch.
I love this place. At least I thought I did until one night I tried their little clubby thing going on.
What they say is true. If you want to party and dance and see and be seen and act like it is the Jersey Shore, come here on one of those nights. Tuesday for sure, that was the day I was there. They do have live bands play sometimes, which will draw a different crowd. But, if their is a DJ, beware. If you just turned 21, are a fan of the Jersey Shore, or are recently divorced or want to have an affair, you will love it.
However, if you have class and a low tolerance for obnoxious behavior and do not believe your life is a movie/​bad reality show-​come here during lunch and dinner. I made the mistake of thinking it would be fun to try out a club night there, since my impression of this restaurant has been really solid for the last 3 years! Timing is everything… don’t let all the reviews scare you!

Can you say COUGAR TOWN!
WHAT IN THE EFF is going on in this place. SERIOUSLY!
I went here on a Saturday evening with a couple of my gal pals and next thing you know we are getting goosed by overly tan cologne soaked men wearing weird tribal print t shirts with jeans and flip flops.
It’s like the 20 year older version of Jersey Shore up in there!
It’s such a nice layout and the food and drinks were good. The service was BAD!
The ladies and I use this term loosely who flock to this place are true desperate house wives! WOW! I mean the tanning industry on that side of town must be booming! DANG!
I normally would not write a review like this but going to the Tin Fish is a a big NO NO in my book now. I suppose if I really didn’t like someone and I was forced to take them someplace I would take them here!
So if you are over 40, looking to cheat on your spouse or just on the prowl and enjoy acting a fool and look like one too this is the place to be!
Tin Fish could be a great spot I think they need an Extreme Makeover STAT!

like being teleported to a odd dimension where 40 somethings love to dress in ed hardy and really expensive distressed jeans. where women learn to put on their makeup from drag queens.
a world where bad DEVO covers and an odd bar made of chrome are a cool place to go. a dimension where it is appropriate behavior to go out «clubbing» in a mall.
love, juston
ps i hate bathroom attendants
