    Waiter and whole staff were pretty gentle. By the night time the place was really crowded and kinda loud ( people were just enjoying lol, just as we did ) so just be aware if you’re looking for a quiet place.

    Always a great time here We bought our dog out for a late 3rd birthday dinner, she was a little people shy even though everyone wants to come say hi Was a little chilly on the patio However Skylar our server was very acommodating, had Jake and a few others come out to get the outdoor heater working. My hubby’s favorite the meatloaf never disappoints Ravyn enjoyed her doggie burger’s And my filet was perfectly cooked. As chilly as it was today the bacon maple is always a good finale. Will have visitors in town in a couple of weeks this is one of our favorite places to bring our guests.

    The food and drinks were very delicious. We had the zucchini chips, scallops, salmon, and carrots. The service was rushed for the level of dining, but otherwise the experience was good.

    We had a great meal at BLUFIN and very good customer service. We had hoped to sit outside to admire the beautiful view but we sat in the dining room due to rain which worked out just fine. Big windows behind the bar showcase the bay outside. We'd recommend this to anyone in the Tampa area.
