   Lovely, comfortable ambiance. The service/wait staff are stellar, very personable and attentive without that annoying “hoovering” gene‼️ And… the food is spectacular! We can hardly wait to return‼️🎉

   I have dined at Passionfish 4 times in the past few years and always loved it. This visit was a big disappointment. Our waitress was wonderful so this review does not reflect on her great service. My appetizer was fried squid and that was very fresh and tasty, as was the buttermilk biscuit. It went downhill from there. My main issue was none of our entrees came out hot - just room temperature. I suspect the entrees were sitting in the kitchen as we had to wait at least 25 mins between courses. The front dining room was about a third full, so it was not busy. I got the sea scallops and they were nice but bland, and everything on the plate was lukewarm. We also ordered two duck confits and we did not like that the duck was seasoned with all spice. We found the all spice to be overpowering and prefer our duck confit just plainly roasted. We ordered three deserts. My banana bread pudding was barely warmed, but it tasted nice. The mint mud pie was nice too. Wish entrees came faster and were actually hot. The kitchen staff were to blame and not the waitress.

   Service: Our server was nice and attentive, but forgot a component of a starter which ended up coming out after I was done with the starter. And a runner put his finger in our water glass. Food: The food was good, but most dishes were only warm, not hot. Even our tea with desert wasn’t hot. This was probably the most disappointing aspect of the meal. For mains, the spooned lamb was quite good, but the duck confit wasn’t delicious. Overall: I expected more for a $200 meal (no alcohol). It was a fine experience, but I wouldn’t go back.

   We had a fabulous experience. The wait staff was quick and efficient. The food was delicious! They even gave people waiting for a table a glass of champagne.

   My wife and I had an amazing experience with our dinner at PassionFish on Valentine’s Day. The food choices were predominantly seafood, which is why we went there, but they had good selections of salad, lamb, chicken, beef and veg as well. The dishes we ordered were prepared to perfection and our waitress was very knowledgeable about them. She explained the various items on the menu to us and helped us make great selections for drinks, appetizers, entrees and dessert. At the end, the owner himself came by and chatted with us for a couple of minutes. All in all, this is a restaurant I would very highly recommend.
