Was in the area visiting and thought it would be nice to get some seafood. Found this little place and thought we would try it. Ordered the seafood bucket and it was pretty decent for the price. Chicken quesadilla was good. Drinks were way to strong. Now the reason for the one star... After paying for the meal and leaving a tip our server who was an old blond haired lady asked if I had tipped and signed the check so she could pick it up!? Who asks that before you leave!? Anyway I say yes I did and she takes it... Literally 30 seconds later she comes back over to the table as Im getting out of my booth and she says I dont know if you realize what you did here but you gave me a 4% tip? I was stunned at what she just said. The bill was $42 even and I rounded up to $45 cuz it looked nice on paper. Now if you do the math thats slightly over a 7% tip. She actually asked me if I wanted to leave three dollars because she deserved $9!!! The service and food from this lady was not worth that kind of tip and trust me Im a VERY good tipper when its deserved. When I told her she was bulling me into a higher tip I said thats where I wanted to leave it and she slammed the little book that contains your receipt and stormed off... Not a way for an older woman to handle herself... Very poor reflection on this business

I read the reviews and was staying close so decided to give it a shot. We arrived at 6:00pm on a friday night and there were zero "eating" patrons. This had the red flags clapping in the wind, but since they had happy hour until 8 even on friday, we decided to give it a chance. They have a total of ten tables, but a ton of bar room and seats outside. The stage in the middle of the dining room caused some concern, but we found out they have live music nightly, which starts at ten tonight. The menu was fairly limited, but we ordered the dolphin (Mahi) tacos and the dolphin (mahi) Reuben. Of course we planned to share! We also ordered a cesar salad for an appetizer. First off the cheese and croutons for the cesar were great, and the dressing had a slightly unexpected bite to it, which was extremely pleasant and fantastic. The tacos and the Reuben were 100% out of this world delicious! While this is more of a locals bar setting, the food was fantastic! . I recommend stopping by. Dont expect five star service or atmosphere, but expect real genuine people serving amazing food and a good deal on drinks.

This is more of a bar serving food with a band. Therefore you are too close to the band. The kitchen must be very small as you have to wait a long time for your food to come, however, the food was good and very hot. Only complaint food wise was all that night my girlfriend and myself were drinking water as there must have been a lot of salt in it. It didnt taste salty at the time of eating tho. There are only two toilets, his and hers, so you have to wait for the person to vacate before you can use it. Not a bad place, but be prepared to come out with your ears ringing.

They should have changed the name because back in the day it was a hangout for drug dealers. Todays Fishtales is a great place with surprisingly decent food and great entertainment. In the evenings, they offer great entertainment with no cover other than to have some dinner. Very talented impersonators of famous entertainers like Sinatra, Sammy Davis, rock stars, etc... put on high energy performances. Some patrons are driven to dance in the aisles which adds to the entertainment : ) A good time is had by all.

So let me start by saying, we had reservation to another restaurant when your host ask how we were doing. Ask if we are local or from out of town. Delightful young lady, needless to say she had us sold. Best decision ever, food was superb, service could have been better, but the interaction from other guest as well as Desi made us feel special. So if your ever in the Ft. Lauderdale are check this place out. Live band, great price, awesome food, and pretty girls.....

We found this place by happenstance on our drive up A1A, so we stopped in for a late lunch.. early dinner... got some appetizers to share and was quite pleased with our selections: grilled fish tacos, thai shrimp, and calamari. Seafood was fresh, portions generous, and flavors complimented the seafood rather than mask it. The sweet thai chili sauce, housemade, was addictive. The service was attentive and friendly. Nice find!

I thought this place was great, I just got back from my annual trip to Ft. Lauderdale and I will definitely go back to Fish Tales next year. I had the beach bucket and my girlfriend had the fish tacos, the food was excellent. This place looked like it was just renovated and is very clean. They had live music and the band was great, we had a blast hanging out at Fish Tales. Definitely a great find, I highly recommend it.

You have to scrutinize your bill, mostly late at night or when ordering drinks. There is a 20% tip enforced no matter what level of service you receive. My waitress included items on my bill that I did not order and there was an extra line for tips that was actually an extra tip on top of the enforced 20% service fee. That was all misleading. I prefer to visit other kind of places less desperate for revenue.

Essen ist super, auch das Draft Bier. Schneller und netter Service. Coole aber doch relativ laute Live Musik drinnen. Deshalb sassen wir draussen. Kann man ruhigen Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

Favorite bar-restaurant on Ft. Lauderdale Beach. Have never had a bad experience. If youre lucky enough to get Amanda, Priscilla, or Claudia as your bartender, youre guaranteed an evening not to forget. Also, you would not know walking up, but the food is amazing. Have never had a bad meal, now I just ask Tim to surprise me with whatever he feels like making. Highly recommend.

Horrible experience.... We went inside and bartender told us to sit anywhere. We sat at outside table.... Waited.... No acknowledgment or drink order. Then another table of women sits down & waitress comes over, looks at both of us & chooses to take the order of women first. We can speculate why she chose them. Needless to say, we left.

I didnt like the atmosphere or the vibe of the place. Wasnt very welcoming. I know it was around 3:30pm Sunday afternoon and not a lot of people but still you should feel welcome and good energy. It was older white people and no one of other races there and just not friendly. We felt not welcomed and out of place

$20 for 3 bud lights!!! Wtf!?? This place is in a parking lot!!! Its dimly lit inside looks dingy and I was the only one there so youre definitely not paying for ambiance. I only ate here because I was literally starving and had just drove 3 hours from Orlando. Dont do it!!!
