   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.

   We come here for brunch several times a year. Always a good experience with good menu choices, prompt friendly service and great drink prices.

   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!

   First time here with a customer. Great food, atmosphere and service. Michelle E was our server and was one of the best. Ask for her next time you're there. And no, I'm not related lol.

   Blue Fish rarely disappoints. The food is always fresh and well prepared. The service is generally good and the ambience is relaxing.

   This restaurant is one of our go-to’s for date night, gatherings of friends, or the occasional lunch. The service is always immaculate and the food has never disappointed.

   Very poor. Starting with a dry Caesar salad that was missing the cheese. We both ordered Herb crusted Mahi Mahi and Turkey, mashed potatoes. Fish was lukewarm with ZERO herbs or sauce. Turkey with no gravy! Mashed potatoes that crumbled when you put your fork into them. We both sent the fish back a d the brought us back 1 piece of fish a d more dry Turkey. Chocolate cake for desert. Also a disaster. Dry and stale. Definitely bought from Costco. At the end we ordered coffee which she said was free...and it was completely COLD. We complained to the manager, Sam, who didn't even offer an apology. Just defended his poor quality food. How does this place stay open?? TERRIBLE

   Went for Thanksgiving. They were short staffed for the number of people enjoying dinner. Which was disappointing given everyone there (except at the bar) had to have a reservation. That being said employees were working hard and the quantity and quality of food for the money was about as good as it gets.

    Arrival was precisely as booked. The crowd was robust as was the line out the door. After a few inquires we checked in. Shortly thereafter we were shown to our table. The waitress was kind. Engaging and deeply focused. A lady with a smile that lit up the room. Her name was Elise. And with her virtues came a personality to match. She suggested a cocktail for the occasion. Its was by all measure spot on. The menu was all we could ask for. For Thanksgiving it was again, spot on. The quality was on the cusp of excellent. [The sparseness came with the need for more gravy] The portions proportional appropriate. The visual presentation had a constitution that resonated with the eye. The plate consumed but not over flowing. Just up to the edge where not enough and too much share a blurred line. A demarcation line will defined. The room was busy. Packed in fact with the ambient noise being white hot. I took it as to be expected. A celebratory infliction that moved the surrounds rather well. A general atmosphere of good tiding. And joy. So what's not to like? Noting. The tab was most appropriate and fair. In fact, we departed with a genuine sense of good value. One I would recommend to anyone, especially for Thanksgiving next year.
