The food and service was outstanding. I had the tilefish and it was phenomenal. My companions had the scalibut—combo of halibut and scallops, and a creole fish dish. The bread pudding was absolutely delicious. Marlon, our server was incredibly knowledgeable and gave the spot on recommendations. Will go back to GW Fins and request Marlon as our server anytime!!
