Everything was great
Delicious as always! Thank you for a great meal Blue Fish! :)
The food is consistently good to very good.
Good service in a nice atmosphere.
We will definitely be back.
We stopped to celebrate receiving our Covid vaccine. The oysters were yummy and drinks divine. We will be back after our second dose!
Paul and Lillie are awesome!
Great appetizer menu with very tasty and fresh oysters.
Bluefish maintains The Best fish menu in Jacksonville. Top top waitstaff. Nice job !
If you arrive during happy hour make sure you ask the wait staff about what is included.
The homemade Sangria is excellent.
Mussels were great... as usual. Cathy was our server extrodinaire
Excellent food. Nice outdoor seating.
The brunch is outstanding and I love eating in the courtyard!
The restaurant was not ready for the amount of guests they allowed to make reservations. I have been here a few times now and it has been a good experience, but New Years was really mehhh. We waited 30 minutes past our reservation time to be seated, then had to wait another 10 minutes at our table before anyone offered any sort of service. A good restaurant, but a bad night to go.
Very good night. Food was awesome. Will return again. Great service.
We wanted to spend NYE out with our family, but we were worried that with 10 people, social distancing would be an issue. That was NOT a problem here! We were put in a back room that felt private and intimate. The music playing was amazing and our server was funny and knowledgeable. Our food was delicious. We had NO leftovers! From my 5 1/2 year old kids up to my in laws, we all enjoyed our evening together and we are thankful for Blue Fin for making it happen!
Food was excellent
We were able to sit outside and tables were appropriately spaced
Always great food at Blue Fish!! Will be back again and again.
Excellent selection of food and drinks at great prices during happy hour. We ate several dozen oysters and they were delicious. Great service and outdoor seating. We’ll be back.
Enjoyed brunch and the very reasonably priced drinks. Food was great. The free dessert at the end of the meal was a nice surprise
Very nice knowledgeable waitress! Food good and appropriate temperature. First time offered to send dessert home in go box!
As always, a delightful evening. A wonderful place!
Christmas Day
We have the Blue Fish our Christmas dinner place to go for the last 2 years. The food and service was excellent. Patricia could have been more pleasant as our server. The food was great and family enjoyed everything. We will definitely be making the Blue Fish or special occasion place to.
We were returning for the second Christmas meal in a row but we're sadly disappointed. The food was just okay. My husband is in a wheelchair and needed to use the restroom and they do not have an ADA Compliant restroom. When I asked one of the staff if they had a sign or something I could put on the door while he had to use the restroom she just looked at me like I was crazy and said no we can't close the restroom so I had to stand there and block door until he finished. We will not be returning
Christmas Dinner
We do not have a lot of family here so we took our kids out for lunch on Christmas. Staff and food were excellent. This was our first time here and we will definitely be back.
First time at the Blue Fish, the food and service was outstanding. It was Christmas Eve, the food excellent from the appetizers to the dessert, and the service was first class all the way! We will return and soon!
Christmas gathering with friends.
Great food as usual. If you want nice cozy and intimate dont go at happy hour. Very loud but they were just enjoying their drinks. Other than that great place.
Great food and service with wonderful outdoor dining
It was an effort for them to be kind to us and we felt like we were bothering them by coming for dinner. We will never go back and definitely would not recommend this restaurant.
Susie was an outstanding waitress. My husband and I arrived before the rest of our party and she brought drinks and donut bread to make us smile. The peach sangria was perfect and the oyster scrumptious. My husband thorough enjoyed his burrito. Thank you for the complimentary dessert!
Food was really good, but the service was extremely slow
Son’s Birthday
The vibe was great! The service was spectacular! We selected outdoor seating. It was pretty cold so I requested to move closer to the heat. Well my server, moved the heat closer to me. Made our entire dining experience fantastic. The food was magnificent. I will definitely visit again soon.
We love eating at the Blue Fish and chose it for our early Christmas celebration with out of town children. Unfortunately there were numerous issues with our dinner. We ordered drinks and appetizers before dinner. We had finished the appetizers long before our drinks arrived. Our entrees were mediocre at best. Two entrees were topped with cold crabmeat and served with cold mashed potatoes. I’m not sure the crab topping was heated at all. Our waitress was busy and very pleasant, but we wondered if there was a problem concerning staffing shortage. We’ll go back, but if we have another pricey dinner like this one we’ll have to move on.
Our server, Grace, was wonderful. She was very attentive and helped make us comfortable on a chilly night. When I made my reservation, I inquired if there are heaters available for the patio seating that can be specifically requested, and I was told yes. When we arrived for our reservation and checked in, the hostess told us our table was ready. I asked if it was by a heater, she said yes, then continued to seat us at a table that was not by a heater. I inquired and was told "the heater that would be here is not working and the mgr. is too busy to bring one from the back."...since we were on a time line for another engagement, we took the table. When Grace arrived, we told her our disappointment. We were offered another table, inside - where tables were too close for our comfort due to covid. We declined. Another outdoor table opened up and Grace quickly recognized it and started moving us. The hostess on the other hand (the one that said we would be seated by a heater) was attempting to seat someone without a reservation there. Grace nicely got us settled at the new table. The food was delicious....and we were warm.
Loved the back patio with the fountain!! So happy to have an outdoor space!!
Met Friends from out of town for lunch. Everything was excellent as always.
Thanksgiving dinner. Set menu. Nice waiter, but very slow service. Food OK, not what I was expecting at a highly rated restaurant. Perhaps a regular menu/seafood servings would have been better. Disappointed.
Excellent delish Thanksgiving meal in the outdoor Cortyard, wonderful ambiance, excellent food, generous portions
The food was delicious. Are waitress Aja was attentive but not intrusive. We were not rushed through our meal and were able to enjoy the food and conversation. The turkey was very moist and the pecan pie was homemade with pecan halves not pieces!
