    From the moment we walked in, it was an amazing experience. The hostess staff were friendly and accommodating. Our waiter/bartender was attentive, friendly, and chill. The food and drinks were super delicious. One of the best experiences in a restaurant ever.

    Seafood stuffed shells were excellent. Our book club met there & we all enjoyed our dinners & dining on the back patio was perfect tonight. Sean was a great server.

    Awful Experience. Our food took a very long time to arrive. Our orders were wrong, our drinks were never refilled, our dirty plates were never removed and the rare times our server came to the table, she was in a hurry. We ordered oysters that had Worms!! The Manager (who was not very pleasant) insisted this worms was normal for them and confirmed that they do not rinse or wash their Oysters (eat at your own risk). We used to frequent Blue Fish and it used to be our place for special occasions, not anymore. We won’t be back.

    Tonight we sat in the courtyard in the back for a quiet dinner. We ordered the Lobster Bisque and Wedge Salad. For entrees we ordered the Mahi with the Rainbow Curry Sauce and the Salmon with the Lemon Caper Sauce. For dessert with split the Creme Brûlée and coffee. Everything fantastic, including our server.

    We reserved an outside table in the courtyard of the restaurant for dinner with our friends and were seated by the fountain. The temperature was perfect which enabled us to really enjoy the quiet and beauty of the outside courtyard. The food was tremendous as it usually is each time we dine here. Our server Shaun provided good service and attention to our requests.
