The atmosphere, ambience, and service was nice. However the food wasn't that great. I don't think there was one thing we ordered that matched up to the cost of the item which made the whole experience not that enjoyable. Also, I put in this was suppose to be for a birthday celebration. I didn't even get any recognition for the event.

GOOD FOOD; BAD ‘TUDE! That sums up our experience. A nice restaurant near the theaters with really good food, so what’s the problem! The answer is NOT our waiter. He was very engaging, attentive and very pleasant to chat with. The problem is management obviously has an attitude problem. I believe they subscribe to the ‘it’s my way, or the highway’ philosophy. However, as they’re in a customer service industry shouldn’t they ‘cater’ to reasonable requests from their customers? I ordered the salmon dish and requested they substitute any kind of potato instead of sweet potato ( as I’m not a fan of the latter). The waiter, on the job for only a few weeks, said he’d check if he could do that. A few minutes later he returns with the answer: for an additional charge of $11.00 they could make it a baked potato, $10.00 for mashed potatoes or $9.00 for French fries. I asked him if he was serious. He was. I told him to come back in a minute ( as I obviously wasn’t too thrilled ) . I almost changed my mind but my wife and daughter suggested I not make a big deal and just order one of the sides. I begrudgingly ordered the fries. … Bottom line: the food was excellent, the service was good but unless you’re okay with an expensive restaurant that is inflexible and absolutely does not cater to the customer, I’d pick any one of a zillion other restaurants in the heart of Manhattan!

Went to Blue Fin while visiting NYC for Thanksgiving. We had Thanksgiving Day reservations where there was a special Thanksgiving meal, as well as offerings from their regular dinner menu. We had amazing service. Employees were very polite and respectful. It can’t be easy to work on thanksgiving day so hats off to them for their dedication. Food was delicious. My mom had the Thanksgiving meal that included the traditional turkey, dressing and cranberries. I had salmon from the regular dinner menu. Portion were a good size. We also had desert which was delicious as well. Would definitely recommend for those in the theater district. Prices aren’t cheap, but comparable for that area.

The service was awful. We ordered appetizers when we placed our drink order so they would come first but they didn’t arrive early. And we had to ask for items we needed, like silverware and sharing plates, multiple times. I was very disappointed.

Our server "A" was what caused this review to drop from being a five-star overall to a three-star overall. And it would have been a two-star if the woman whom she was training hadn't been so poised and present to save the meal. We ordered gluten free. That wasn't much of a problem. The problem was in trying to get the server to make suggestions and take action. The server couldn't seem to think for herself or lead a conversation without being cutesy and dismissive. We thought she was the one in training, but the woman in training was smart, poised, had perspective, and was able to cover for her. The food was good. When it wasn't prepared as requested or as described, that seemed to throw our server off. "Oh, well, hmmm" The "trainee" and the manager got it figured out. Who are the people in what look like chef's coats? They stand like bouncers and though one of them served the food to us, he couldn't answer questions about the plate itself. There's a training issue here. The kitchen knows what they're doing. I'm not sure anyone else really does.

What a great little surprise. We hadn't planned ahead, but got the chance to reserve an early 2-top table for dinner. We were in the mood for sushi, so we ordered sushi rolls, sea bass bites, and ahi tuna tacos. Each dish was fresh, beautifully plated, and delicious. Service was outstanding.

We have been dining at Blue Fin for over 10 years and it has always been a family favorite when doing anything around Times Square. We were sad to see the restaurant close during the pandemic and were glad to return as I ran the NYC Marathon this past weekend. We were really disappointed with the food and service. Our waitress was nice but we had to repeatedly search for her as large gaps of time passed without attention to our table. We had two chicken dishes that are overdone and not good at all. We voiced concerns to the manager and while he reimbursed one chicken dish we were dissatisfied with his response and reaction to our concerns. It’s sad to know we have lost our favorite spot on Broadway.

We went to Blue Fin before the theatre and had the price fixed theatre menu. It was absolutely delicious and we were finished in time for the show. our waiter made special consideration for my lactose intolerance and made substitutes at the last minute. The whole evening was just fabulous. Highly recommend.

For a $200 dinner, the waitress should not be eating while serving dinner and certainly should not grunt and point when the customer is asking a question. She was lovely and I could tell she realized that we were surprised and a bit appalled by her behavior, but I expected more in that environment for that price point. The food was also just ok for the price point.

We had a great time. I do wish there were a few more non dairy options but I made due. I appreciate that they were able to make one accommodation. The food was absolutely delicious and our server was knowledgable and attentive. We had two fish dishes a small plate and an appetizer. The fish was tasty and fresh! The only thing I wish had gone differently is the recognition of my mom's birthday. I saw that they had a slice of cake with a candle for a nearby diner's birthday and they hadn't done it for my mom. I shared with them about the birthday in the reservation and the hostess was sweet enough to wish my mom a happy birthday when we came in. All in all, it was a minor thing. We enjoyed ourselves and would recommend the restaurant.

I've dined here dozens of times, but this was truly disappointing. Overpriced, small portions, slow service, run down decor.. some food was over seasoned while others were bland. Very sad to see as this used to be one of my favorite places to go. We were there for almost an hour and a half and had to leave before our dessert was served because we ran out of time. Our server was kind and attentive so I can only blame the kitchen for the bad experience.

Love Blue Fin. Food is dazzling. I had the grilled tuna and my husband had the sea bass for our entrees and we shared oysters and a Blue Fin roll from the sushi menu. There are so many things I want to try on the menu and can't wait to go back. Wine list is great too.

The place is special. Far too large for the crowd. Food is very good. They chilled the place down to the extent that most guests were sitting in their coats an hat’s (!). After asking to get the temperature up, the waiter told us that this is management decision and that there is nothing she can do about it. Well. We will not come again.
