"We had a nice Mother's Day dinner. We started with sushi which was excellent. Entrays were also very good. Two of our party ordered the special, chippino, which unfortunately was underseasoned and were both missing the root vegitables listed on the menu. Everyone else expressed that their food was excellent."

"The food was good and the sushi was great! Certain itemed seemed a bit overpriced, but I understand that you are paying mostly for the area.
I don't know if I'll go back in the immediate future, but I was satisfied."

"Whether you want oysters, Scottish salmon, Hawaiian waloo or sushi, the Fish Market is your best bet. Something for everyone. I suggest sharing appetizers, sushi & entrees unless you want the others at the table ogling your dish! This restaurant is just a block away from the rest, so you can usually get a table on a crowded night."

"This was our first visit to Original Fish Market and we were not disappointed. I only wish we could have gone back for dinner, but due to the short time we were in Pittsburgh we could not. Our lunch was delicious and the service was excellent. The lunch menu was extensive and varied.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone."

"Service wasn't the best, very slow and non engaged. Menu is limited except for the sushi menu. Would recommend going to the sushi bar or bar only. Better options for Seafood in downtown unless you want to stay within the Westin hotel or get four hours of free parking if you spend over 50$. Overall, I would try some place else unless you are traveling and too tired to leave the hotel. Even then, just stick to the bar area only."

"My food was delicious. I especially liked the warm goat cheese and roasted beet salad. The $$ was too low. I would change this restaurant to $$$ to give a more accurate description of menu prices. There were a couple of entrees at just under $30 each, but most were between $30 and $40. I will definitely go back."

"Sushi was amazing - had the calamari salad and sushi sampler. The rock shrimp appetizer was fantastic. Perfectly seasoned. I had the Wahoo for an entree. It was delicious. The server was excellent and knowledgable. Wine was great - Pessagno Pinot Noir. I especially liked the fact that the restaurant was open late."

"Went to the Fish Market to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday. We ordered a variety of sushi and a bottle of wine. The sushi was very fresh and delicious. The wine good as well. We had a nice quiet booth off to the side which was nice because we could have a conversation without yelling. There wasn't much background noise at all. Service was great & she was very knowledgeable of the different kinds of sushi that we ordered. Perfect for the occasion we were celebrating."

"Went there for Valentine's Day and made reservations via Open Table. They gave us a table in the lounge area right in front of a television that had some sporting event (hockey?) blaring on it...even though seats were available in the restaurant area and we had reservations; we didn't just walk in...that's what reservations are supposed to be for.
Ordered a drink and the waiter brought what appeared the wrong drink..questioned him but he denied it so had to take it to the bar myself to exchange it it.
Soup was cold; fish ordered was sold out although not told until after order was placed
replacement fish was very good at least.
other entree crab carbonara was disappointing
they do valey park which was nice given bad weather.
