Fishlips specializes in fish and seafood. We hear the tuna dishes, such as the Hawaiian Ahi, are popular. We're told Fishlips gets a lot of special requests on ways to prepare the fresh catch. They say special orders don't upset them.
There is a kids menu, too.
Most popular item on the menu: Fish and chips
Entree prices: Range from $11 to $22
Atmosphere: This restaurant and bar is on the water. There's a view almost anywhere you sit. It has two stories -- downstairs is the dining area, which is a quieter, family-friendly environment; and a sports bar upstairs. Same menu is served in both places. There's an outside patio area downstairs and an upstaired covered deck and outside sun area.
Crowd: On the night we went -- ladies night -- the women were out in full force, and so were the guys. The majority of the crowd was in their 20s and 30s, but we only visited the upstairs bar area, as the downstairs already was closed for the night. This group was full of energy and ready for fun.
Patrons partied like it was the weekend even though it was a Tuesday. Even as we were calling it a night, people still were filing in.
Fishlips is very casual and carefree, allowing people to let loose or sit back and watch the fun.
Cover charge: Never
Smoking: Outside only
Ages: All ages, families and tourists are welcome.
Dress code: Casual's welcome, shirts and shoes required, even if you come from the water. A lot of people sport their bathing suits, wearing flip-flops.
