   We love PassionFish and are a repeat customer .. this time we were disappointed as the size of the Bronzino was too small never before … the taste was great as usual and our server was excellent

   We came with friends to dinner to get caught up on things we chose Passion Fish for dinner table 26. Everything about this dinner was amazing The service by Alexande was top notch- knowledgeable on pairings and dinner choices. The dinners from salmon, bouillabaisse and fresh fish was amazing and beyond expectations. This was a true 5 star experience

   We have always had great meals here, but last night's dinner was not up to par. We shared an entree of two "jumbo" sauteed soft shell crabs, but the crabs far from jumbo-- at first I thought it was one medium soft shell that had been cut in half. And they were mediocre tasting--barely any substance. At $49 for the entree (which included green beans almondine), this meal was way overpriced.

   I have been a "regular" at Passionfish for more than a decade, and have always had a positive experience especially at my 65th BD, my retirement party, and my 75th BD. Yesterday's experience with friends, was no exception!

   Caesar salad was great as was the trout with delicious mushroom side. Halibut was cooked perfectly-nice and moist with tasty nut topping but the papaya salad passion fruit panang was extremely spicing so that neither of us could eat it. Strawberry Sorbet for dessert was excellent as was our server!!

    We are regular customers at Passion Fish and it’s our Go to for special occasions. We were a party of six and we ordered drinks, several apps and a few dinners. I can’t give a low rating because we did enjoy our drinks and dinners as always. Our waiter recommended cherry infused bourbons which were outstanding along with the crispy flounder and swordfish along with a few beautiful rolls and ceviche. I have two complaints though. 1. Our hostess, (short dark haired) was beyond rude to us. My group noticed that she would not make eye contact with us even while we were trying to talk to her about our table. We knew she heard us and she would only communicate with the other hostess. We weren’t complained or asking anything complicated. She made us feel unwelcome and it was 100% awkward. Eventually she sat us, dropped the menus and walked away. After our dinner, upon exiting we could see her eye rolling about us and saying something about us to the other hostess. Not a good impression for a $600 plus tab. 2. When drinks are served, servers should not hold glasses by the rim.

    Passion Fish in Reston is always outstanding. The dining room is beautiful, there are outside tables for those who prefer to dine there, the food is delicious and the wait staff members are friendly and very responsive to requests. It is one of my favorite places to eat even though it is 25 miles from my home. Well worth the drive.

    This was our first visit to PassionFish. While the food itself was ok, and the server was very helpful, the overall experience was lacking. On the plus site, we were promptly seated when we arrived for a reservation at 7 PM on a Saturday. Unfortunately, we were seated upstairs, in a room that seemed more like a hotel breakfast area- it was just sort of drab and quiet. Downstairs appeared to be much more lively, as well as decorated with a bit of flair. The server appeared right away, and was helpful. The bumps started when we ordered drinks- we selected the only Rose on the menu, only to be told it was sold out. The wine list was not great- mostly very inexpensive wines marked up 300-400%. The cocktail list tended towards the sweeter variety. Not our taste, but I know it is popular with others, so that is just a personal view. We did enjoy the dozen oysters on the half shell. The server described the oyster choices available that night well. For the main course, we had the crab cakes and the softshell crabs. They were both not bad. Nothing special, but ok. The presentation was minimalist. The meals each came with one side. The only green items on the list of sides were crispy brussels sprouts or green beans with almonds. We opted for the green beans, which were server fairly raw. For the other side we selected the fries fries, which came as a much larger than expected portion but were clearly your average frozen fries. Overall, the meal was ok, but the lack of much ambiance did not see to justify the $300 price for dinner for two with a bottle of cheap wine.

    PassionFish - Reston VAResponded on June 15, 2022Thank you for your honest feedback on our food and service. We try to accommodate a variety of dining experiences but by your review, it seems we dropped the ball. If you decide to dine with us again and are unsatisfied with where you are being seated, please let us know immediately so that we may correct things. Some guests prefer a quieter evening over a lively one and we simply misread your dining expectations. I hope we see you again.

    We go to Passion Fish on special occasions and have never been disappointed. The service is a little slow and it is pricey but it's worth the wait and the money. Last night I had grilled rockfish and it was cooked perfectly--flaky and flavorful. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals very much.

    Quality and taste of Food was not worth the price tag

    PassionFish - Reston VAResponded on June 1, 2022We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. Seafood market prices have been a real challenge for the service industry since the pandemic and other restaurants groups have chosen to go with cheaper less quality products to cut cost. Our executive chef is passionate about delivering a high quality product and keeping the price to guests as affordable as possible. This task is easier said than done but please allow us the opportunity to change your perspective on us.

    The meal was great as we had Mahi Mahi and the Flounder fresh catch- the meal was very good and tasty, the ambiance was great but the service was a little off. She was a nice waitress but not really oriented to good tabel service- long wait between refills and water. The atmosphere was great for our party of four and the food was good enough to come back again.
