I can't really rave about my experience at Fish Tales. It was a different dining experience. The building is an old house turned into a restaurant so it lacks any sort of ambiance. I could hear every word of a normal volume conversation of a table three away from us, if that helps clarify it for you. The menu selection was okay but the wine selection was poor. Our server must have been new, as he wasn't very efficient, but who's in a rush? I took my in-laws here and I believe they enjoyed the meal, which I would agree was good enough. Not my favorite restaurant experience.

I eat here often. Sometimes the food is incredible and then a week later, it tastes totally different and can be bland. Different chefs I suppose. The owner(Gary?) hangs out often and is a friendly guy. The restaurant has many classic car photos and the owner is big into the Father's day car show, which is probably why so many locals support the establishment. It's a unique menu from burgers(with curly fries!) to Indian to Mexican cuisine. I must say that the Mexican food is well done. The prices are fair and the food portions plentiful. I will continue coming here, but he really needs to establish more consistency with the taste of the food.
