Description
Sunfish gained wide acclaim when Tony Sindaco and his then fiance Erika Batista opened it in a small storefront on Atlantic avenue in 1998. In 2006 they moved to a larger location (where Michele's is located now), but the couple was divorced in 2008 and Sindaco left the business. Sunfish moved a few doors down to their present location in 2009.It's a nice space, with a small bar area and a cozy dining room.

Sunfish has been serving variations (if not carbon copies) of Sindaco's recipes since he left, at somewhat higher prices. They lost their Sindaco-trained chef in July 2011 when he left to work at Sindaco's new restaurant, Sea
The menu is eerily similar to Sindaco's; Sunfish has recently added sushi rolls to their menu.
Sunfish spicytuna
The spicy tuna were pretty good, but notably short on tuna. I'm not a big sushi guy and I didn't pay for them so I'm not sure if they were representative of the dinner offering.
For happy hour, they have a pretty lame wine offering of a decent Chardonnay, a Slovenian Pinot Grigio or a "red blend" (that sells for $6/bottle retail) for $5/glass. You also have a choice of Heineken, Amstel or Corona for $4. It's not a very robust choice.

They also have $5 "bar bites", which to me are sort of a trick. Instead of giving you a discount on their regular offerings, they create a smaller plate and charge you less. Are 3 Conch Fritters worth $5? Bar bites are a concept that were created to fool people who can't figure out that half the amount of food for half the price isn't really a deal. You can also get 1 salmon slider for $5.
Sunfish is in that part of town where half of the parking spots are free and the other half are metered, so bring quarters.

They've raised their prices again, further sticking it to their regulars while guaranteeing that they'll never get many new customers. If you pay $11 for soup made by the unknown chef, you're just an idiot.
