The restaurant was nice but our table was in a little room on the first floor near the bar and we were hoping to be upstairs for the happy hour. Service was great but a little disappointed we couldn’t get the appetizers for happy hour where we were located.

I’ve a longtime customer of Blue Fish & always very satisfied but today the restaurant has really shown its age. Our table had 2 broken chairs & the existing chairs pretty wobbly (table next to the window). I was disappointed in my fish tacos, I have never been disappointed in my meals, but today the black beans were either over cooked or reheated numerous times, very dry & not hot. I had to really check the taco for the fish. This is a local favorite establishment, a go to with friends. I hope this is a one time mishap.

We did not get waited on until 20 minutes after we had arrived. I did have reservations for standard dining asked to be in courtyard. They did help me with getting us in the courtyard. However they did not start service till 25 minutes or more after we sat.

I was so disappointed by this visit to Blue Fish. My raw oysters were poorly presented with very melted ice and the lemon swimming in the dirty water. My companion’s steamed oysters were lukewarm at best. Our oyster po boys had four measly oysters, which weren’t even warm. Perhaps we should not have visited during lunch, but I was so uninspired by the visit that I am unsure if a fourth visit is warranted.

The service was fabulous. The food was just ok. We ordered the sea bass and it needed more flavor. But overall experience was good.
