    The food and service was excellent as usual. The noise level was the only negative part of this visit. There were many holiday dinner parties in our dining room, and one was particularly loud. Our server Destiny was fabulous!

    Very popular dinner place…and for good reason. Menu offers a variety of selections in each category. Price point is not over-the-top (especially for the area). Food is tasty. Portions are generous (we took home 6 containers of food for another dinner!). Our server, Alondra, was top drawer. Professional, spot on with any needs, funny, & personable. We all left impressed.

    For my wife's birthday dinner I chose Bluefin and we both enjoyed both the menu choices, our food and the service. I chose the Bluefin omakase and she chose the shabu shabu. We had an appetizer of ankimo which was superb. Our server was attentive without being overwhelming or hovering. The portions were better than expected . My choice of omakase did not disappoint and appealed to the eye as well as my palate. Delicious! I would recommend Bluefin to anyone who wants a special Japanese sushi experience.
