    It was my first time eating at the Blue Fish restaurant and I was very pleased from the time we walked through the door until the time we left. I am definitely looking forward to going again

    I went for my birthday dinner. ratings: mussels 10/10, grouper 6/10, the shrimp and scallops were my favorite part of the old bay mix 10/10, but the mashed potatoes and mixed veggies it came with were a 6/10. my partner had the snapper with the blackened and lump crab & rated it an 8/10. we both shared the crème brûlée & it was a 10/10. our server Richard was very kind & attentive! I would definitely go back.

    This restaurant is in my neighborhood and I want it to succeed. Few things I noticed; The hostess was young and very nice however her attire didn't represent the restaurant. The inside of the menus was dirty, the paper was worn. The interior of the restaurant looked run down. Lastly the main dinning room was very loud making it nearly impossible to have a conversation.
