Good Bye to "Kettle of Fish" after 31 years of Service

After 31 years of service, today will be last day to visit Kettle of Fish....although I've heard and drove by this Restaurant many many times on my way downtown, I've never ever been inside or had the mind set of going inside for dinner.  To my surprise when asked to go for dinner there last night, I was amazed with the ambience, decor and service.  I always read up on the restaurants I go too and this one I've read a few negative comments, such as bad service, food not as good as it used to be, etc....so I was very skeptical about what to expect. 

She recommended the Curry Mussels for our appetizer and the Cioppino for our main course (very generous portion) - it included prawns, mussels, clams, scallops, salmon, saba, lobster.  The seafood was cooked perfectly but had a bit too much "fishy" taste for my pallet....but then again, it can be a hit or miss depending on the season you eat certain types of seafood.  Although they did have a good menu selection, some of their items were no longer available or sold out....but I'm glad I had what I had.....

I was also shocked that their wine list was very affordable, the most expensive bottle I noticed was $50.

Overall, the dining experience was good.  The restaurant would have made a very nice romantic place to go fo dinner or even to have a party or reception.  I have a feeling it's going to be revamped into another great eating treasure.  Can't wait to see what opens in its place.
