    Excellent food. Oyster Rockefeller was outstanding with a hint of Pernod. Shrimp and Grits had the perfect sauce with just enough spice to make it delicious. Service was friendly and timely. Prices just right

    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.
