Most Disliked
Some customers mention that The Fish Inn operates on a cash-only basis, which can be inconvenient for those preferring card payments. The ambiance, while casual, might not appeal to everyone looking for an upscale dining experience. Limited vegetarian options have also drawn some criticism, although there are a few choices available. Certain evenings may see high demand, leading to longer wait times during peak hours. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall experience tends to outweigh any issues.
