Enjoyable brunch with girlfriend. Our waitress Amanda was wonderful, she took her time with us & very helpful. I had the avocado toast which was delicious & my friend had the scrambled egg bowl very good.

We had excellent personalized service, including a birthday desert for each of the birthday boys. Food was thoughtfully prepared and accommodated food sensitivities for one of our guests. We have enjoyed Bluefish previously and will definitely return again!!

First time there with a friend from out of town. Richard, our server, was excellent. We wanted oysters, but small and salty - he had great suggestions. He went out of his way to make sure my friend's food was gluten free, making several trips to the kitchen to verify options. BTW - the oysters suggested were so yummy! I had the parmesan crusted flounder with orzo and it melted in my mouth - so tasty. I could not eat it all so brought it home for lunch the next day - wrapped in parchment and heated in the air fryer, it was nearly as delicious. My friend had some sort of fish, I don't remember, but said it was really good. Ordered a double portion of asparagus to avoid gluten, although there were other options she could have eaten. Too full for dessert. I want to come back and sit at the bar for cocktails and appetizers - it seemed a very fun group up there. We sat in the main dining room, but I look forward to less humid weather to try out the courtyard!

Service was good. Michele was very personable and informed on the menu. Our major frustration was that smoking was permitted adjacent to us on the patio so we had a steady stream of smoke flowing our way. Management should find a better place for smokers so other guests are not impacted.

We had an amazing experience at Bluefish for brunch. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. Our server went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and that our experience was truly memorable. We’ll definitely be back!

We have eaten here multiple times but last night was like a sandwich: appetizers were not very good, entrees were great and dessert was disappointing. Scallop appetizer was too salty and only had 3 scallops. Calamari was tough and we sent it back. Had the chef’s special Oreo cheesecake for dessert; it was not creamy, lacked flavor and was over baked. Service was a little slow. Floor near our table wasn’t clean and bathroom needed attention. For the prices, it was a little disappointing.
