Delightful staff who are enjoyable and attentive to just the right degree. Food is generally excellent though my dover sole fillet was just a bit overcooked and so too dry. Standout food included the oysters, shrimp, Thai lobster pot, sea bass. The French fries are nearly perfect.

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.

Our server on the covered outdoor dining area was Rene. He was superb. He made good recommendations and was very accurate with his descriptions. His service was attentive but he did not hover. Food was expertly prepared. Our dinner guest was equally impressed. Many thanks for such a fine establishment.

Wonderful as always. Superior service and delicious food. I had a PassionFish Roll and shrimp cocktail, probably the best shrimp cocktail I’ve ever had. The shrimp were huge. . Others had the lobster special and soft shell crab. Everyone was happy!

I put that it was a birthday dinner and nothing was done! Also, I think there was some kind of convention in town so it was packed and noisy. I had to remind our waitress to bring water, I asked for soy sauce to go, never got it. But other than that our waitress was very nice!

Thank you for your patronage and feedback. Seafood prices are outrageous at the moment and to maintain a quality product while keeping prices attractive has been an ongoing challenge. Chef is working daily to get prices back to some normality.

I had swordfish, was sliced a bit thin but cooked perfectly to medium rare and came with a very tasty, classic lemon/butter sauce. My date had the lobster special with chunks of lobster in slightly spicy tomato-cream sauce over pasta -- unusual and excellent if you like a bit of "heat". The waiter prepared/blended/stirred the lobster dish right at our table and we joked a bit about the "show", the entertainment aspect of watching that prep. The "Tiger roll"sushi appetizer and the chocolate "bomb" dessert (I forget the exact name) were both quite delicious!

Another great night at PassionFish. We started with the oysters, which were great - meaty and slight briny. I had the seafood gumbo and my wife tried the crab cakes, and we enjoyed a nice bottle of Chardonnay in the process. Our server, Charlie, was truly outstanding, and she made it an exceptional experience for us.

Good food; friendly but slow service. There were large tables around us that got a lot more attention than our small table of four. We waited a very long time to order food after our drink order was taken and weren’t served bread as the other tables were so it was a very long time to get anything to go with our drinks.

Possibly just a bad night,but we were ignored for the entirety of our 20min+ wait after getting a table. We ended up leaving after informing the hostess of this. After which the hostess then contacted open table to say that we never showed up. I sent open table a email saying that we did.

Took my wife here for her 45th birthday, and I'm glad someone suggested this resturant. Food was good, im not going to get into details of everything but I will say no one took anything home from what I saw. The staff was amazing and they even put her name on menu which I thought was pimping...lol
