“ Visited this spot a couple times now and always had a great experience. Friendly/helpful service, very tasty food, and prices are on point. Great happy hour to boot. Highly recommend. ”

“ Food is delicious! Service is top notch!! Very comfortable place where you feel valued as a customer. ”

“ I've been traveling to Lawrence for work the past couple months and eaten here a few times. I'm a foodie from the W Coast and wasn't at all sure about a Fish House in Kansas but went in based on reviews. This restaurant would stand out even in Seattle or Portland. It starts with fresh, high end ingredients, creative entrees, and careful preparation. It's a modern fish house with traditional touches like oysters on the half shell. Try the paella! But best of all may be the service and vibe, starting with the attentive owner Laura. I was solo and sat at the bar a couple times. Isis there ("E-ses") is absolutely delightful. I love this restaurant. ”

“ There is so much I love about this place. The ambiance is thoughtful and just right. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The food is seasonal and reasonably priced. My favorite "nicer" place to eat in town. ”

“ Went to LFK to visit the old stomping grounds - oh how I have missed Mass st Fish House. When you look at the restaurant from the outside it looks so small but when you walk in it's actually so HUGE! They have 3 floors and every table was occupied! We sat at the bar cause we just wanted to get happy hour and a few drinks. I tried the fish taco and oysters and holy moly EVERY BITE WAS TO DIE FOR. We also got the crab dip and that was licked clean. The owner/bartender was so kind to my boyfriend and I and let us try an amaro shot and talked to us about the different types of amaro they carry. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left - the service was exceptional. The kindness that everyone showed us just made our night so much better. Loved being back and can't wait to visit again. ”

“ Killer food and service The ahi nachos were huge and excellent Broccolini excellent Fish and chips - killer ”

“ We got the ahi tuna nachos, shrimp cocktail, fish taco, fish and chips, and lobster roll. Everything was good and tasted fresh, but nothing really wowed me. The lobster roll was a little bland for my taste. Definitely don't skip the dessert! The service was great. We weren't expecting them to give us a free birthday dessert! I LOVE the ambience. It has a fresh, dark wood feel with outdoor seating. Great place for a date night or special occasion. ”

“ We returned in May 2024 after not having been there since before the pandemic in January 2017. We were very impressed by the changes. There now is a large outdoor dining area extending out onto the street in the area that previously was on-street parking in front of the restaurant. We had reservations for indoor dining, but next time during good weather we will try the outdoor dining. We were there during happy hour, and the food was outstanding. We got two Happy Hour Chef's Choice Oysters and the Happy Hour Fish Tacos. They were excellent. We also got glasses of house wine from the happy hour menu, and we were happy with both the white and the red house wines. From the regular menu, we got the Smoked Salmon Cubano Sandwich, the Shrimp Bucatini pasta, and the Butterflied Rainbow Trout. All were excellent. The trout was served opened up ("butterflied") on the skin, but the chef will remove the skin if you prefer. For fine dining, we usually prefer restaurants in Kansas City, but the Mass. St. Fish House is a match for the best in Kansas City for seafood. In short, we were surprised and impressed. We were slightly annoyed by one of the restaurant's policies. There seems to be an upcharge for all substitutions, as is common in some of the other downtown restaurants. For example, if you ask to substitute a vegetable for potatoes on an entree, there always will be an upcharge, regardless of the vegetables or the potatoes. To avoid that irritating policy, we will not request any substitutions next time. Alternatively, we can continue to prefer restaurants in west Lawrence, where substitutions are not a problem and where parking is easier. ”

“ Treat yourself and order the calamari and crab cakes. Best crab cakes I've ever had in the Midwest! I ended up ordering the shrimp bucatini pasta...SO good. Very cozy and intimate restaurant setting. Perfect place for a date night. ”

“ Came here for HH with a co worker, great choice! Food, drink and service was great! Everyone was attentive! There was servers who weren't assigned to my table, checking on us , clearing tables and refilling our glasses of water. I've never experienced that before and I must say it sat the bar high for me now lol! They had outdoor seating! And it was just lovely! It was cafe style, very cute, intimate and social setting. The oysters were VERY good and fresh! I had East and West coast oysters. If you never had either one try one of each so that you can taste the difference. Thank me later. The calamari was very tasty, the Paella was ok I expected more flavor. Cocktails were great! The War of Roses and Herbal Press is a must! Light and refreshing. I will definitely be back for HH again as well as dinner, looking forward to trying other things on the menu. ”
