Bottlefish Restaurant

Our server, Janna, was the best. Yes, everyone knows the ambiance, food and drinks are all top-notch and well worth the money, but what really set food place apart is how our server was professional, personal, and fun. Brava! My stomach wasn't feeling great that night and she prepared her own drink recipe for me that really helped! The branzino is knock-your-top hat off wonderful as well!

If you are a seafood lover then this place is for you. The location is convenient in the heart of brentwood. Parking garage and valet with validation is in the same building which makes it easy. Lots of fantastic options on a decent sized menu. The Grand appetizer plate was fantastic. The tuna tartare was really good. Although I thought they should’ve had a few more shrimp and less oysters on it but that’s personal preference. The Branzino was amazing. Very buttery and delicious. The labneh on top of it doesn’t really taste like labneh but rather closer to yogurt but that’s fine. The curry in the lentils are a bit dominant for the people who don’t like that flavor. The crab cakes were some of the best we’ve had but I felt like there was heavy cream in them so they would be a full course and not an appetizer if you eat it by yourself. The Salmon was good and black cod was okay as well. The drinks were good. Overall a good place for seafood lovers. Service from Perry was very good. Very helpful and friendly. Also, brought in one of our ordered desserts with a candle in it for the person we were celebrating their birthday with. They have vegan and meat options but if that’s what you like I wouldn’t be eating it here. The ribs were below mediocre. Maybe stick with a steak or cheeseburger if you’re with company and don’t like seafood.

A welcome addition to the Brentwood Gardens complex. A creatively curated menu filled with both familiar and unfamiliar offerings at very fair prices. A beautiful room plus large patio seating. Very attentive, cordial service. And Great food (tip: perhaps the world's greatest crabcake) Check it out!
