    Mothers Day Brunch was not very good. Food and drinks took very long to get to the table. It took 50 minutes to get an omelette. Sushi was good but took way too long. The 3 course menu was not very good and it took so long to get our food. The kitchen does not seem to be run very well and the restaurants obviously saw $ over quality on Mother’s Day by over booking the tables and not having enough staff or bar tenders to provide the type of service we expect for a brunch $250+ for 3. We were there for 2 hours+. Not a great experience. The management needs to plan and do better. I have been going there for 15 years and this was the worst experience. Big miss on a very special day for Mother’s.

    First time at Passion Fish, drove 45 minutes, stuck in construction road work was late , but texted restaurant to let them know. When we got there, hostess checked in with manager, he seemed irrated, told us we were late, but sat us within five minutes. After seating the waitress greet us and took our order, but it took forever for appetizers to come out almost an hour, then our entree came late and cold. The appetizers was ok, but the entree was mediocre, the English muffin was dry, and crabcake was small. Overall the service was ok, she did apologized couple times, but the execuse is the kitchen was busy, if they were busy they shouldn't let sit and waited for an hour for appetizer, and cold entree . I worked in the hospitality business for long time, if the kitchen is busy, usually restaurants don't sit them right away.

    Recommend about Passionfish over a decade below by a co-worker for birthday dinner and everything was so perfect, i came bacl the following year. However, due to the long distance it takes to travel, have not returned in a while until this year for Mother's Day and once again the staff, food, ambiance, and overall was perfect. It also helps that i was always to get available parking closeby that was either validated or free.

    The restaurant did not manage their mother's day crowd. There were too many customers, little staff and service. We waited 3 hours and finally left after not even receiving bread. Too bad as the food is pretty good--avoid going there on any major holidays!

    It's been a few years since I've last visited this restaurant. The food is consistently delicious and the customer service is equally good.
