  A Wonderful Evening
  
  Fish is run by the same team behind Semilla and Fredie's, two perenial left bank favorites, so we knew it would be good.
  
  A small, bustling bistro on Rue de Seine, Fish has a convivial atmosphere and tables are not crammed together. While the noise level was above average, we were still able to carry on a conversation.
  
  We started with an affordable bottle of Champagne Blanc de Blanc while we purused the menu. This being our ninth day of non-stop eating in Paris we went light. My wife and I both opted for a refreshing tomato, watermelon and feta cheese salad to start and the house specialty hazelnut crusted whiting, a nice moist flaky fish served on a bed of wilted baby spinach and shallots, perfectly cooked. For desert we split a poached peach. Again, very light and refreshing.
  
  Service was outstanding and friendly and never hovering-- the French way to a great, comfortable evening. Highly recommended. We will be back.

  Had a Fantastic time. I arrived in Paris in the morning and had dinner here. The cod was perfect and the chocolate dessert was amazing. But the key was the staff. Jonathan (Bartender) is cool as shit and we had a great time chatting. The ladies on the staff were polite, attentive and extremely friendly. I'd go back in a second.

  This was a great surprise. It's a smaller restaurant, but it was quite quaint. We had to wait a little bit for our table (but considering we made a reservation that night, we were ok with that). We were able to enjoy a bottle of wine while we waited. The service was impeccable. I highly recommend the following dishes: gnocchi and the walnut encrusted whiting on a bed of spinach. Also the white asparagus was delightful as well. Oh and the bread was delightful! Oh, did I mention that we were seated next to President of Normandy Hervé Morin. He was fun to sit next to at the restaurant.

  Very popular so the fact we had an 8:30 reservation meant a lot of the menu was no longer available. So go earlier! The dessert was incredible: salted caramel chocolate mousse. um, yes.

  My fiancé and I didn't have reservations but were lucky enough to snag the last two bar seats for our final dinner in Paris and are so glad we did! Our server was so kind (and bilingual). Seeing we were having trouble picking a wine, she asked us a little more about our preferences and ended up recommending a nice, medium bodied white with a buttery finish that was our favorite wine of our trip.
  
  There were plenty of food options and even as a vegetarian, I was able to find great choices for a full three course me. We got the lentil soup and ceviche to start, cod and gnocchi as mains, and the panna cotta and orange tarte for dessert. Everything was delicious, the ingredients were very fresh, well put together, and the presentation was beautiful. The orange tarte in particular was incredible.
  
  This ended up being our favorite meal in Paris, and we would highly recommend it!
