Very mediocre night out. First the only alcohol served is beer and wine. Beer selection is okay with ample choices. We ordered clams on the half shell for appetizers, and they were very fresh and good, but at two bucks a piece, a little steeper than other places. Also ordered the fried calamari which was done well. Main course for my girlfriend and I was onion crusted grouper, and fish du jour, which was grilled striped bass with vegetables and was told it came with rice. The grouper was good but very small, as was my striped bass which is cooked as a whole fish. I actually measured the fish and it came to 11 in with the head and the tail, so something doesn't seem right there as I don't believe you're allowed to catch drive past that small. The fish was cooked well but so small that it was unbelievably annoying to eat as it had many small bones for such a small fish. Had the fish been a larger size they are certainly would have been more meat to pick from the bones. A friend of ours ordered the fish and chips, which was fried cod but when she opened the filet, the fish was Brown inside, obviously from overcooking so it was sent back. My other friend had the same Dish as I did only he had a deep fried. Again the flavor was okay but a very small fish, too small to be legal in my opinion. Also my rice was delivered as mashed potato. I didn't mind so I didn't say anything. They didn't charge us for the fish and chip meal but for the remaining three meals appetizers and drinks which was only two beers and a mock margarita, came to $193 before tip. Certainly not worth the trip back. They need to fix a few things. The server was extremely friendly and kind though which was the Saving Grace...
Read moreRecently moved to Northport and haved enjoyed exploring and discovering all kinds of good bar/restaurants, beach, harbor and overall "village" vibe; now I know why everyone lives here forever...:)
When my "oldest" friend Ross (friends since 1969!) decided to get together catch up a bit, we discussed a few options and Rockin' Fish was the winner and it certainly was a great experience!
Located in the heart of Northport Village, small place (our visit being in winter, obviously large outdoor area not available), no reservation, Friday at 5:30, parking available right outside. Offered a sweet bar-style table by the window with smiles and friendly manager.
No rush attentive and friendly service by everyone. Prix-Fixe menu not only if you are attending a play up the block (we weren't) and Ross ordered off that menu. I had the Cod Fish tacos appetizer and Salmon entree. Both excellent and delicious. My usual Moscow Mule and Ross had a flight off the beer selection.
The waitress Liz was great. Really nice, cool chick! Was very attentive and cared very much if we were happy with everything. Even listened to our stories lol...She gets 10 stars 🌟 ⭐️ lol.
Overall, Rockin' Fish is certainly a great part of the Northport Village Sweet vibe. Go and enjoy, with family, friends or a romantic...
Read moreReally rude servers with no knowledge of the menu and a clear disregard for customers. The waiter was rushing us to order, and missed half the table for drinks/food.
When the food came they dropped a plate in front of me which I said wasn't mine and they replied "well you can just pass it down right??"
The food was a joke for the price, $12 for this "watermelon salad" pic below. $25 for a kids pasta. Oysters were being brought from what looked like another restaurant?
When it came time to pay the bill, we had a giftcard to use and it was accepted and seemed fine, however I accidentally left my phone on the table. I went back and they were being weird and said "we need to have a word with you" and told us the giftcard wasn't valid etc and withheld my phone. I was not the one to pay the bill and they we so rude and said they aren't giving me my phone until "we pay up".
I told the bartender and kitchen manager we did not enjoy our experience and they just said well thats unfortunate, and still just pushed us for the remaining money from the giftcard. Nothing to remedy it, and we spent over $300
Not...
