Blue Fish Restaurant and Oyster Bar

I went here for the first time. I ordered the Shrimp and grits and a wide of blackened snapper. The grits and fish were very good and full of flavor. I didn't care for the shrimp because it had a fishy taste to it. The server was great and very helpful with the menu. I sat upstairs and was able to open a windowpane to feel the fresh breeze. The atmosphere is nice. Great place for dinner. I'd definitely visit this place again.

OMG this place is amazing from the time we walk in the door and left. If I could give 10 stars I would. Our waiter Michelle was top tier and knowledgeable. I had to let the manager Sam know we had a GREAT experience! We need this food and service in Houston!

This was my 3rd time at Blue Fish and I truly enjoyed it. The atmosphere was fantastic for our engagement celebration. While my steak came out under cooked all the other meals came out fantastic. And our waiter Richard was kind enough to take my steak back and have the kitchen redo it. Servers me right for ordering steak at a seafood restaurant.

Bluefish: A Mixed Bag of Seafood and Service My Saturday visit to Bluefish presented a study in contrasts. While some aspects shone, others left a distinctly unpleasant aftertaste. Arriving to a bustling scene, we were relegated to bar seating, as the upstairs was closed and the outdoor area sparsely populated. This immediately set a tone of slightly cramped quarters. The oyster sampler, my appetizer, arrived promptly and offered a decent variety of fresh oysters. A promising start. For my main course, I opted for the Chili Garlic Crunch Salmon Bowl. The dish, as described, delivered a pleasant kick of heat, and the components harmonized well. It was, overall, a satisfying and flavorful meal. My companion's Scallops and Shrimp with White Cheddar Mac & Cheese, however, was a different story. While the shrimp seasoning was acceptable, the mac & cheese was disappointingly bland. It lacked the rich, cheesy depth one expects from a white cheddar mac. The most significant drawback was the glacial pace of the main course delivery. While the appetizers arrived swiftly, the wait for our entrees stretched to an uncomfortable length. Thankfully, our bartender/waitress was consistently attentive and personable, making the wait slightly more bearable. Unfortunately, the dining experience was marred by some concerning observations regarding hygiene and professionalism. Throughout our meal, I witnessed several instances of staff behavior that were frankly off-putting. Waiters scratching their hair and then handling drinks, picking up orange slices for cocktails after touching their hair, and grabbing glasses by the rim were all observed. One waiter was visibly consuming alcoholic beverages throughout the night, which added to a sense of unprofessionalism.

Had a great happy hour experience here with my friend. We enjoyed fresh, delicious oysters—big, flavorful, and absolutely worth the $15 a dozen. The watermelon martinis were the perfect refreshing touch. Huge shoutout to Yvette and Ray who really made my first visit memorable—they were nonstop making sure everyone was taken care of and full of oysters! Great vibes, great service. I’ll definitely be back!

Went during happy hour. Loved the oysters!!! Super fresh, pricing online and on the menu, not the same, though. Dessert said fruits came w half a strawberry 🤣 the atmosphere was soooo romantic and fun! Highly recommend.

We were pleasantly surprised by the brunch. There were pretty good drinks options (try the Strawberry Champagne Mojito not the Blackberry Ol'Fashioned). The food was excellent with good portions - we will be back!

I came here to celebrate my birthday with friends, and it was a mostly enjoyable experience. The crescent city mahi was delicious and generously portioned, with a thoughtful side of extra steamed veggies, but the loud dining room made conversation challenging. While the key lime pie dessert was tasty, it could’ve used more whipped cream, and the crab bisque wasn’t to my taste, especially due to its strong sherry flavor.
