I cannot believe I have never heard of the Fish people cafe before. The food was incredible, can’t wait to go back, loved the whisky spray with the oysters. Service was great, amazing place, we loved it.

Service was good, waiter was attentive and very helpful. Food was excellent but portion sizes were very poor for the prices you are paying especially the starters. Would consider returning.

Good friendly informed service. Super fish dishes which dominated the menu,of course, although some choice available and desserts and wines were very good. Bit put off by strange situation but perfectly fine design and comfort inside.

Some of the best seafood I’ve eaten, friendly staff, easy location right next to the Shields subway. The oysters in particular stood out, dressed with a Scotch vapor. I will certainly return on my next trip to Glasgow.

The food was very good and thought the restaurant was really cozy. I know I was emerged in my book, as I was alone, but I was suprised over the lack of interest to see how my food was.

Delicious food, excellent service in lovely surroundings. Both special starters were so tasty - smoked mackerel pate and swordfish tartare. I then had the Portland crab linguini and my husband had the tandoori sea bass. Both were delicious. And the home made soda bread was really special. We will definitely return to sample more delights from the menu.

Excellent service. Delectable food. A gem of the Glasgow southside! We had the monkfish tails, dressed crab, tandoori sea bass and the highly recommended stone bass. For dessert we had the chocolate tart and the cheeseboard. Washed down with a gorgeous montepulciano. A fantastic evening! The tandoori sea bass was a highlight for me, the dressed crab was my partner’s favourite.

Always a nice meal and attentive service at The Fish People Cafe. Excellent specials and lovely desserts each time we’ve been. Can’t understand why it’s often not brimming with folk.

First time visit after threatening to book for years. Well worth the wait. Cosy surroundings, different presentation of food, ceasar salad with anchovies, attentive service and not overbearing in an intimate venue. Will definitely be back. Great value.

The presentation of the Dover Sole was unusual and surprising as in pieces whereas the curried sea bass was a whole fish! Both tasted delicious! Jug of water for the table was garnished with cucumber, which I dislike but they were happy to provide me with a separate glass with just ice.

My friends and I had a fabulous experience at The fish people restaurant. The oysters were probably the best I've ever tried and the whisky spray idea was very welcome! Impeccable service and great detection of wines. We'll definitely be back!

This is a great place to enjoy a delicious meal as it is warm and comfortable both in temperature and ambience. Very good service with lots of chilled water without having to ask, wine at the right temperature and tablet with coffee! The best thing though is the fish, a really good choice if different dishes all cooked to perfection. Highly recommended.

Monkfish starter melted in mouth as did sole. Delicious desserts too. French sauvingon blanc complemented seafood beautifully and service was excellent. We'll definitely be back. It's a real treat as it can be a bit expensive but you get quality for what you pay.

We had a very happy experience. The dining room is intimate and attractive. The service was warm, efficient and unobtrusive. The fish -both sea bass and sole- were beautifully fresh, cooked to perfection and their accompaniments delicious and attractively presented. We liked the bitter chocolate and almond délice especially well for dessert. Wine by the glass was also delicious.
