Had a great dinner here. It's pricey but a decent value. The seafood if obviously the highlight of the menu. They were unfortunately out of the Tasmanian Salmon but the Hawaiian Big Eye Tuna was great. I ordered it seared and it came out perfectly. It's pretty remarkable to get seafood like this in the Midwest, let alone in Peoria. The portion is good and entrees come with two sides.
They were substituting sockeye salmon for the Tasmanian, which iur table also ordered. It was well prepared, too. The dinner rolls were hot and fresh.
The ambiance of this place is super retro, like 1981 retro. When you first walk in the yellow light seems off but your eyes adjust and it ends up being a very pleasant experience. I really enjoyed our dinner here.
For dessert, we ordered the flourless chocolate cake which was deliciously dense and chocolatey.
The cocktail list looked unbelievably well curated and I can't wait to come back and try their smoked black Manhattan. They apparently age some bitters in-house.
I was impressed and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality, upscale meal. You don't have to dress up to come here but you also won't be out of place if you do.

Omg the oyster appetizers were amazing! Such a nice surprise for a landlocked seafood restaurant. All the food was amazing. There is a reason they have been around 50 years. Jasmine our waitress was very attentive definitely a repeat stop on our way to family in Indianapolis.

Was staying in the Peoria area this week and wanted to enjoy some good seafood. Chose Fish House because of its rating / reviews and by what was on the menu. I arrived tonight not long after they opened at 16:00. A few other customers were already seated. I sat in the bar area at a table. I was greeted by Paul the bartender. I ordered the Crab Turnovers as my appetizer and grilled Chilean Sea Bass with Au gratin potatoes. I highly recommend everything I ordered. The food was great and the service was top notch. By the time I left it was pretty busy for a Thursday night. Definitely worth the 20 min drive from my hotel. I will be head back to Fish House the next time I am in the area.

The Fish House has been our favorite local restaurant for over 30 years. Our favorites are the Tasmanian Salmon, Sea Bass, Prawns, and the broiled platter. Their salads are outstanding as well. You can't go wrong with the stuffed mushrooms or the crab turnovers ss an appetizer. Service is always excellent too.

This was the perfect place for a birthday dinner with my husband. Shallon was amazing and brought me dessert with a candle to celebrate. The place is beautiful and classy and the food was amazing. We will be back.
