    Our first ever eating out in a holiday. Appreciate everyone working in a holiday but not as good as regular menu. Lamb was overcooked, Caesar salad was bland and salmon cakes were dry. Thai shrimp and scallops were good.

    Tough to be trapped in the back garden room with three small shrieking children…. None of the other diners back there were particularly delighted but so it goes. Perhaps a carpeted floor to reduce the noise level? Food was fantastic and Zac was a great server.

    Our server Christina was great! The appetizers were good however the main dish the seafood pasta with crab cake didn’t have a lot of flavor and the noodles were too big for the dish and cold. We’ve tried this restaurant so many times. I think this was the last for me

    Had not been to Blue Fish in a while. The updated menu was great, It included old favorites along with some new choices. I tried the breakfast bowl and it is my new favorite of any brunch around. Cannot wait to go back and I’ve already shared with my Brunch loving friends.

    We were starting our holiday celebrations and enjoyed dinner at the Blue Fish. Our waitress, Michelle E., when told of our plans to see a show, took great care to pace our meal. She took wonderful care of us, which made our meal so enjoyable.

    Our service was not stellar. A server came and poured water, never introduced herself or asked if we wanted anything else to drink. After 10 minutes and my asking the hostess for a server did she return. I think they were just short staffed - I only saw two servers and there was a large party in the back. The food was good, though I could have used 6 more shrimp! My friend took home left-overs. I'd still go back.

    Lunch for four was very good. We had fish and chips, trout with lemon capers, fried shrimp and mahi. All were very good. A nice quiet restaurant that permitted us to catch up with family. Would go again!
