Bluefin Restaurant offers an exceptional Japanese dining experience with "outstanding fish quality" and "amazing" service. The omakase and sushi receive high praise for freshness and flavor. Though prices are on the higher side, many find the experience "worth every penny." Enjoy the ocean view, great sake options, and an inviting atmosphere.

They have outside seatings with heaters (for the cold weather). The restaurant itself is pretty small. One long bench against left wall and tables then chairs. The right half of the restaurant is a bar with sushi chefs behind it. The sushi was great. We ordered all of the Bluefin's special sushi. Very fresh. Didn't detect any fishy odor at all. Some of the sushi served the way it's supposed to be, eaten without wasabi or soy sauce. The service was pretty bad, though. The place wasn't even full, and we waited over ten minutes to get someone's attention to ask for a refill on hot tea. That was pretty bad. The staff are friendly, though. Parking was also very bad for the weekend, but if you live in the area, you should already know that.

Great Food as usual. The lunch bento box is a lot of food. The Sushi is excellent. However, the waiter was not too friendly and had to ask for service. Maybe an off day service wise.

One if the nest sushi spots I've been to. The view of the ocean while you eat is also very nice. My husband is not a big sushi fan but he loved it. It's expensive but worth it. Great saki offerings also.
