Permanently Closed - PassionFish - Bethesda

The food was exceptional (scallops and Chesapeake Benedict), and the service was extremely nice. We love the key lime pie! Thank you for the best seafood in the DC area.

our favorite restaurant in bethesda. been there countless times, from birthdays, to celebrations, to just because. sad that they are closing. went there for brunch on the last day. we'll miss you, passionfish! all the best in your restaurant in reston!

We had a wonderful brunch. I am so sad to hear that PassionFish Bethesda is closing. They will be missed!

So sad to find out that that location is closing! The meal was delicious and the service was excellent. It’s sad that the pandemic and the restrictions on dining capacity are shutting down restaurants permanently. i’ll be making the drive to Reston to visit this restaurant.

It was a wonderful experience with the ambiance, service and food. Will be back again.

We were informed they would be closing Sunday and we had to go one last time. We spoke to the bar nana her who is always great and told him how much this restaurant will be missed. This was always our go to at least once every two weeks if not every week. Always a great time with great food and service.

I'm sad I didn't know about Passionfish earlier. They have very good happy hour prices and the server we had was very friendly. Hopefully I will be able to stop by the VA location in the future.

Everything was awesome! Heard that it would be closed soon due to COVID-19, so sad :(

My husband and I had a impromptu date night and decided to try Passion Fish. We love sushi and saw the reviews for Passion Fish was rated high. It is 45 minutes away from our home and it was worth every minute and mile. The food was fabulous. Our waiter Sam was amazing. The ambiance was perfect. We can’t wait to go again. Love it!

Great food and ambiance

Dinner felt rushed. Waiter was just okay. He didn’t tel us the kitchen was closing so we weren’t able to order desert. :(

I had the octopus, and it tasted extremely fishy.

Great service, tasty food. Our waiter was exceptionally attentive. Strongly recommend the happy hour fare

Service was warm and friendly, attentive but not hovering, just what you need these days if you're going to go out . protocols were on point ( we sat outside) but the food was just...so so. My dish, a special, was heavily salted and a bit overdone. none of us finished our entrees and we skipped dessert ( but there's alot of good dessert in Bethesda--Jeni's Ice cream, Dolcezza, bubble tea-- so that part wasn't tragic)

Love it first time great service . My sever was wonderful and get check in

We sat outside because it is Covid it was one of the cooler nights we’ve had this season and this restaurant does not have heaters. This is the most expensive restaurant in Bethesda and one of the nicest and every other outdoor restaurant has heaters. How can you not have heaters?

Everything was great!

As this Bethesda venue is part of a chain, I must note that other locations offered a better overall experience for the high-end tab...

Food choices and fish quality (primary selling point for me) were up to standard, but preparation and presentation were only fair. Thus, the mid-range critique.

Restaurant noise level made conversation comfortable.

Great meal. Even better service. Innovative and creative

Made reservations for the brunch and everything we had was amazing! The service was impeccable and the server was highly attentive making sure to clear plates and provide fresh silverware before you even know you needed it. The selections were all encompassing of everything anyone would want to eat for brunch; and the cocktails were amazing as well!

Very good !

Our service lacked nothing... could not have been better! Thank you.

We were spoiled with the food and attention - all while feeling completely safe. Outstanding lunch experience

Another terrific dinner, seated outdoors with plenty of room between tables, attentive wait staff, and excellent food.

They make it as safe as it can be to eat indoors with the same quality food and service

The food and service were great. Staff wore gloves and masks the entire time.

Excellent rolls. One pet peeve that seems to be recurrent is not keeping the lunch menu updated so only AFTER asking for a dish are we told it is no longer available. I'm sure this can be remedied. Food and service are excellent and good attention is paid to social distancing and safe food service practices!

Passionfish never disappoints. The service is attentive but not overbearing, the food is delicious and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming. Joseph, the bar manager, is a genius with his mixology skills and gave a very impressive presentation on his bar menu. This place is a gem.

And they have fernet!

i have been once for brunch, but this place is really nice. the food, the service. THE CEVICHE....everything is LOVE here

We sat outside. Tables were well spaced. The seafood cobb salad was delicious and my friend enjoyed his shrimp and grits. Service was excellent and the Covid related practices were well thought out.

This is my favorite go to restaurant in Bethesda. They know us there.

It was amazing. The food was excellent. Service as well. Very COVID-19 appropriate. Available but non intrusive.

Chose inside seating since it was plenty of space. Clean environment and attentive server. Brunch menu provided great options at a very good price. Food and drinks were perfect.

Innovative food, skillfully prepared. Attentive, but not overbearing waiters. We felt completely protected from COVID-19, or anything else.

The best place in the Washington region for softshell crabs. Great people and service!!

We are outside and enjoyed celebrating my bear friend’s birthday. Our server was great.

Excellent food and service, great experience! So glad that this neighborhood gem is back open for indoor dining.

The food was divine and the service was excellent!

Went for my husband’s birthday. We both enjoyed the food and the service, and they were kind enough to provide a complementary dessert.

Fantastic experience, even during Covid. Nice table outside with little pedestrian traffic. Great food, good friends.
