   Excellent dinner as always. From the drinks, to apps, to main dishes and dessert, Chef Bob & his crew never disappoint! This is our go-to spot!

   Once again Backfin Blues does not disappoint. They were short staffed but we never felt ignored or forgotten. This has become a staple in our monthly date nights and I have even had teenagers want to go there because it is some incredible. I want to tell everyone about it so they can experience it but also don't want anyone to know so I can keep it all to myself. As a culinary instructor, I live for food and you cannot beat the food, people and environment at Backfin!! YOU MUST TRY OUT BACKFIN BLUES!!

   We have been here many times and are usually pleased. We went the evening of 08/16/23 for our 43rd anniversary. My wife ordered the filet well done (her choice) and it was flavorful. As sides, she chose smashed potatoes and broccoli. The potatoes were not prepared in the usual fashion, but were very tasty. The broccoli looked like a train wreck. I ordered a small wedge salad with extra bleu cheese dressing and it was delicious. Instead of an entree, I chose the crab dip with naan bread, which I have had several times in the past. It was very disappointing. The crab was practically non-existent and the entire dish was awash in melted butter, to the point that it actually pooled in the end of the oval shaped bowl. The naan bread had been heated on a wire grill of some type and at least half of the pieces were burned to a crisp on one side and not edible. Of note is the fact that even though Chef Bob Steele is listed as the executive chef, he has been noticeably absent during all of our last visits. Cierra, the server, was efficient and had a pleasant demeanor. Overall, I felt like we had made a poor choice of locations for our celebration.
