Recommend for restaurant week value, and come hungry. We each had a nice gazpacho, a full entree and a dessert for $35. I thought my flounder would be lost behind the thai-style preparation, but it was very good when accompanied by a slightly spicy cucumber salad a bit of the fish sauce. Crispy skin yet still moist inside, worthy of 5 stars. My wife's scallops, on the other hand, were overwhelmed by a corn cream sauce--also too rich, so 3 stars at best. She enjoyed the chocolate mousse, which I thought was undermined by its subpar companion of devil's food. My key lime tart, on the other hand, was flavorful and well-matched with a coconut sorbet. At usual prices, this would been a $150 dinner, for which I would expect more dishes like the flounder.

This was a second visit to PassionFish for brunch. The first time was much better. This time the food was not as good with the exception of the smoked salmon which was still excellent. The bagel, however, was toasted too long (burnt on the edges). The huevos rancheros were okay and the eggs Chesapeake were pretty good. Also, I did not order the smoothie, though it sounded good, at $11 it seemed over priced.

Fish was delicious. We will be back.
And the sweet potato fries were wonderful.

Excellent food, good service and nice, quiet ambiance!

One of the best restaurants in Bethesda! Delicious cuisine, friendly and attentive service. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

The food and service were excellent.
Will definitely go back again.

Restaurant week is the best time to visit this restaurant. My girlfriend had surf and turf (lobster tail and ny steak) it was nicely done. I had chines style smoke lobster, it wasn't as good as I expected. Normally this dish is $45 which completely overprice, I am glad I tried it during restaurant week so know not to order this dish in the future. We had chocolate mouse and crème brulee, both were good. I had Hamachi in the spoon and that was really good. I also had the pork belly sliders and crab cake sliders at the bar for happy hour while I waited for my friend, pork belly is better than the crab cakes.

This was intended to be a birthday dinner with my wife, but because it was the middle of restaurant week, perhaps they seated us in the middle of a crowded area. We’ve been here before and the service has always been impeccable, but tonight it took 10 minutes for our server to greet us, they did not have drink or wine menus for us, and they were very unattentive for the first 30 minutes. We received our food after about 30 minutes, and from there things improved to the superb standard that we love this restaurant for. Despite the decreased service - the sushi was exceptional - as normal.

Food was delicious and the service was great and accommodating. It was quite loud in the restaurant, so be prepared for lots of noise.

Wonderful experience and service. I will definitely go back.

Went to PassionFish in Bethesda for restaurant week. We really enjoyed the evening. The food and service were excellent. We also found a nice SB to pair with our seafood. We will return.

PassionFish and other restaurants in the group consistently deliver both quality and value for Restaurant Week.

Excellent service and fish was outstanding. Quiet table in back of restaurant.

Portions were smaller than what I'd expect. Very good, but I've had more generous potions of the same entree items elsewhere, at comparable prices. Like the grilled salmon was very good, but seemed miniature.

The food and waiter were great. They had the patio doors open and the restaurant was extremely hot and uncomfortable. They did offer to move us, but we didnt want to half way through our meal. The back of the restaurant was cool and much more comfortable.

The food was ok, nothing special. I felt like my flounder was a bit overcooked. It wasn't bad enough to send back. Ambiance is weird, with TV video of fish, and a silly ad for the video that keeps popping up. Server was proficient and quick, drinks pretty good.

Mediocre sushi, sashimi and rolls. Wouldn't go back.

Amazing brunch! Mix and match an appetizer//entree, appetizer//appetizer, appetizer//desert, entree//desert for $19 and bottomless mimosas or Bloody Mary’s for only $11! Such a steal! We had the seafood Cobb, ceviche, crab and corn chowder and then hash and everything was so fresh and delicious! Our waiter was great in refilling our drinks and only coming around when he thought we needed something. Will definitely be coming back to PassionFish for brunch again soon.

Had a great time! Service was fantastic...very attentive but never annoying. Our server,Darrin, was outstanding. The brunch special is a very good value. I had the carrot ginger bisque to start and main course was shrimp and grits. Both were delicious and I was stuffed...but I also over indulged on the bread basket...couldn’t just have one or two. I will definitely be back!!

Delicious food, great service, lively but not too loud atmosphere. My husband, who avoids new places, loved it. I had the fried whole flounder and he had the mussels. Next time sushi for me.

Our meals were sooo delicious! Seafood is cooked perfectly here. Menu is creative and interesting.

Just one tiny complaint: my decaf cappuccino was 40% froth!

Really nice spot, good food, attentive service, and good aesthetics.

I took my husband here for his birthday. Food was excellent - especially the crispy whole flounder. Service is excellent and the manager even came to make sure we were enjoying ourselves (I like seeing this and it's not very common these days!).

You get a free dessert on your birthday but because we had a cake at home, we didn't want to ruin our dessert appetite. The waiter was so nice and offered us to take a dessert to go.

The food was excellent - steak cooked perfectly, muscles, lobster, chocolate bomb! Service was also excellent and the noise level was very low. Will definitely add this to my list of favorites.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Service was impeccable. Wish I lived closer!

Nice restaurant. Good service. Great experience.

The waiter was in a bad mood and made that know to our table. Both my grandfather and girl friend noticed as did myself. Made the whole experience uncomfortable. It was not professional for a restaurant that is creating the ambiance needed.

We always go for Sunday brunch and it was amazing as usual

This was my first time at Passion Fish. I was in Bethesda for a conference and decided to give it a try. I had the corn and crab chowder, “the rock” sushi, and the donuts for dessert. The ambiance, service, and of course the food was all excellent. Everything was brought out in a timely fashion. I didn’t have to wait long for any of the food items. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely return whenever I come back to Bethesda.

Fantastic food - we’ll be back soon!

Booked dinner on Monday afternoon and said it was for a birthday for my daughter. When we arrived at 6:30 we were immediate seated and when we opened our menus they had a Happy Birthday Angela heading! It was a pleasant surprise and dinner was wonderful!

We dined at Passionfish to celebrate a visit by my brother-in-law and mother-in-law for the first time in several years. We were seated in a nicely subdued room beyond the noise of the bar area. Our server noted a special appetizer for sharing that included excellent oysters that our oyster fans loved and large, succulent shrimp that the shrimp fans found delicious. We ordered fresh catch entrees that were spectacular--Passionfish starts with great, fresh fish and cooks them to perfection. They had delicious cocktails and a very nice, reasonable wine list. Their great food and smooth, helpful, unobtrusive service made this an excellent experience that made our celebratory dinner even more memorable.

The ambience is nice and the service was very good. A plate of scallops and their sauce were too salty. The price was high and the food wasn't extraordinary.

Everything was wonderful! The chargrilled oyster special was so delicious and the sword fish with beurre blanc was out of this world. Our server, Nick, was awesome! We’ll definitely be back!

Incredible service from knowledgable wait staff--helpful recommendations that turned into great menu selections--loved the crab cakes, the Brussels sprouts (best I have ever had!), the Kentucky Sunset, the Gimlet, and the Key lime pie dessert all rocked! A very thoughtful hostess seated us in a quiet area since it was a special occasion. Food came quickly, drinks were replenished regularly. Special requests for gluten-free needs were accommodated easily. Beautifully decorated. Clean, cared-for restrooms. Overall, my top dining experience in Bethesda in years.

Best happy hour in town! A Bethesda favorite!!!!!

Food wasn’t as enjoyable as I last remembered, unfortunately.

Passion Fish lunch provided delicious food, good service, pleasant ambiance.

Tried a variety of small plates and they were all good but especially like the sushi. Good wine selection and the noise level was very comfortable. Would recommend and definitely go back again.

Food was delicious. Tables in back are quiet. We had arrived early and enjoyed the happy hour where they offer great $5 drinks and small plates. Our waiter for dinner was great- efficient and pleasant.
