Customer Reviews
We decided to try something new for dinner tonight, and we will DEFINITELY be back!! This place was welcoming as soon as we walked in to after we got our check. Heidi, our server was very attentive, answered any question we had about the menu and was very friendly! The food came out quick, was cooked perfect and was very filling! After we finished eating, the owner Ken, came over to the table and made sure everything was good, and was very personable. We would’ve expected this kind of service at a new restaurant that was just getting started. However Ken told us he has been here for 12 years, and we see why it’s a packed house with very quick service. We will most definitely return and will let everyone know how good of an experience we had!
I love this place!! Atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, service was exceptional, all appetizers were delivered promptly. Hush puppies were crisp and very yummy. We appreciated them while waiting on our appetizers and food. Interesting thing - when you come in, you can try several types of wine for free. That was nice. Of coarse we ordered a bottle to the table! Fish we ordered was red snapper, halibut and seabass. All three were cooked to perfection! Even veggies were cooked just right, and not overcooked. Fresh raw oysters were slightly steamed and it made them even more tasty and sweet! So, overall, the best seafood place we went to over the many years.
Excellent food and service for Christmas Day dinner. Our server Anya was absolutely outstanding—extremely attentive without hovering; anticipating needs (drink refills, extra napkins, boxes…); helpful expertly deboning my brother’s whole fish; very friendly and cheerful despite the crowd and working on a holiday. A manager Michelle checked on us a couple times without being intrusive. The food was served promptly and was utterly delicious; we had the sea bass, the turkey dinner (Christmas special), and the stuffed flounder, with the Fat Tuna nachos (with tuna) to start.
One of the best places to eat in Williamsburg area. We come down several times a year and have tried several different restaurants. Fat Tuna Grill is one of the best. The calamari was fresh and delicious. The sesame tuna was good, but the wasabi had no spice or kick at all. The kids meals of fish sticks and fried shrimp was great. Both were fried perfectly with fresh seafood. The Mac n cheese was also great (my kid that doesn’t like it very much ate the most of it). We ordered the stuffed flounder: one Newburg and other Rockefeller. It was cooked well and flavors were great, but we didn’t like the breading used in the stuffing. However, we are also particular about textures with our food and others would probably like it.
Fat Tuna Oyster & Grill in Williamsburg delivers a relaxed seafood experience with bold flavors and genuinely welcoming service. The highlight from this visit was the fried shrimp tacos. The shrimp were crispy on the outside and tender inside, packed into soft tortillas and topped with sautéed zucchini, guacamole, and a creamy sauce that tied everything together. The mix of textures worked well and the flavors were rich without feeling heavy. The sides balanced the plate nicely. The steamed broccoli was fresh and simple, and the creamy coleslaw added a cool bite that helped cut the richness of the tacos. The service stood out. The wait staff was super friendly, attentive, and added to the laid-back coastal vibe of the restaurant. Overall, this spot feels casual, approachable, and satis
