Great food, our waiter was wonderful. We had fried alligator. NIce restaurant, one of the few old time restaurants left on our area.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Peoria, specifically for celebrations. I love fish/seafood. Preparations of the fish dishes are sooo delicious, quality of the fishes I found really good. So far we have tried Chilean Sea Bass blackened (melting in mouth), Tunisian King Salmon stuffed (so tasty) and their signature Oyster Rockefeller (must try). The ambience, service and everything was perfect, worth the price. Would definitely recommend.

Visited here from Nashville. Our waiter was Kendall and he was incredibly attentive despite it being super busy in the restaurant. Everything was AMAZING! The bread, the lobster bisque, and especially the sea bass. Sometimes when you get broccoli as a side it’s just plain steamed broccoli but Fish House clearly knows how to butter and season their veggies. Eating here will be a core Christmas memory for 2024.

My first time to the fish house it was excellent food. If you’re ever wondering if you should go to the Fishhouse, you should go yes, seafood is expensive but it sure was good. We ordered every kind of oyster. They had raw Rockefeller and grilled they were all excellent. We also had the stuffed salmon which was awesome.

Great fish. Can't go wrong with anything you order. They also have steaks, which are very good. Had the cedar plank salmon and pan-fried grouper, as always both were excellent. If you have never tried it. It's well worth checking out. Very extensive menu. Great hot rolls!
