New Things #7: Mrs. Fish

Since I went to Señor Fish, I decided why not check out the unrelated Mrs. Fish.

Mrs. Fish is VERY different from Señor Fish. It’s an upscale Japanese restaurant that feels like you’re walking into an episode of Miami Vice or some 80’s music video. It’s a nice spot but feels like a first date spot, at best. The blue lighting and decor give it a cool and almost sterile feel that didn’t particularly invite revelry. Maybe it’s a good break up spot.

I have a knack for ordering the wrong thing at restaurants and the Uni pasta might not have been the best thing to get here. It was good but didn’t blow me away, especially for the price. Similarly, the steak skewers didn’t have a ton of flavor to them.

I wouldn’t say that Mrs. Fish is off the list but it’s not a place that I foresee myself frequenting. Especially since it’s right next to Perch, which is a better and more romantic spot. Mrs. Fish almost feels like a Plan B. Although I’m not sure why, if you couldn’t get into Perch, you’d feel the need to stick around the Pershing Square area.

And for me, it’s all about dinner and a movie spots. I was coming from the DTLA Alamo Drafthouse and am always looking for a spot to eat afterwards. So far Hatch Yakitori is still the winner on that front.
