Fish

This is a GREAT place for dinner. Food is nicely prepared, service is good (ask for Eduardo) and the sunset view is incredible, the best in all of Rocky Point! Highly recommend the Olive Encrusted Grouper.

Awesome experience last night with terrific waiter: Omar. We had octopus appetizer, flounder Genovese, and shrimp with tequila. Finished meal with flan. All were great, but flounder was the best. Sat on the deck above the town… perfect setting and views. We will be back!

Excellent clams in saffron sauce. Beautiful views. The seafood platter is big enough for 4 people to share!

FISH is our favorite restaurant for seafood. Anywhere. Not just mushy flounder like some places here. We have not had a meal we didn’t love here. My fave is Shrimp Wellington. Grouper is wonderful and crab cakes in Rocky Point? Absolutely delicious. The drive up the hill is doable by any vehicle. The view and fabulous food are worth every peso and the menu is very moderate. And it is right in town.

I had heard the view here was second to none. That is so true. Christian was our server, he was so kind and fun and treated us wonderfully. Everyone in my party ordered something different. Each dish was delicious. I had the Flounder Genovese, just the right about of citrus and salt. Daughter #1 had the Grouper with olive tapenade. It was a little to fishy for me, but she loved it. Daughter #2 had the Shrimp Trio. I tried a bite of each and it was so good! Our friend had the prime rib and the turf was as good as the surf. Had heard it was hard to get to, not really. Drive slow. Highly suggest you time it so you can see the sunset.

We’d heard about FISH (formerly The Lighthouse), had eaten at Chef Lucas’ previous and current restaurants (and loved the food), so admittedly, we were excited to have dinner here, especially since we could look up and see it from our hotel (Vina del Mar).
The entrance and the road going UP may be a little intimidating, so go slow (we drive a sedan) on the fairly well maintained, unpaved road at about two mph (put your vehicle in 1^st gear), and you’re there in about two minutes. Same method going down.
The entrance is a little tricky (if you’d never been to The Lighthouse or El Capitan), off behind a liquor store to the left if you’re headed to the Malecon, on the right, if you’re leaving same.
The interior is modern elegant and air conditioned, and the large, long, outside balcony is awesome for viewing the incredible view of the city (close-​up), the sunset and of course, the ocean.
The prices seemed mostly reasonable for what we hoped would be incredible food, but our selections were either great, or barely or less than average. The service was less special (considering the pricing) than we hoped for, but then, we had the beautiful sunset view.
We had a glass of the Casillera del Diablo Cabernet (priced much more reasonably than other restaurants, $ 31 v. $ 40/​bottle), iced tea, Saffron Clams, Shrimp Bisque, Salmon Wellington, Flounder Genovese, and Potato Gratin. The tab was $ 60. An decent value, we thought.
The not so good: the Potato Gratin is skippable for the lack of flavor and cheese. The Shrimp Bisque was more broth than bisque and needed something (we added salt and pepper), and had lots more croutons than shrimp (4 to 1?). Bread does not come automatically with the meal and is on the menu a la carte.
The great: Salmon Wellington was (I don’t like using this word) DIVINE. Wow! The phyllo was perfect and the salmon and cheese filling were incredible. The Flounder Genovese was thick with a citrus essence sauce and perfectly prepared. The Saffron Clams were fresh, almost swimming in a delicious, salty, garlic, saffron and butter sauce.
Our server was adequate, but he seemed a little out of his element, rapport-​wise, at FISH. A little jaded, not really accustomed to fine dining service, but adequate, nonetheless.
In our case, the main entrees and the views were the stars for this visit. We’re not sure if and when we’ll be back, but the Salmon will stay in MY head.
