Vibe: Picturesque serenity and varied libations

The atmosphere at Bluefin is marked by its peaceful elegance, perhaps a tad understated but still exceedingly exquisite. Sweeping ocean views from the patio set a breathtaking, romantic tone that pairs perfectly with the selective sake menu and typical Japanese drinks. On the downside, the popularity of this spot means it can get busy quickly, which may detract from the relaxed atmosphere to some extent.

  • Great Views

    Ocean views from the patio provide a breathtaking, romantic dining backdrop.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Moderate noise and dark gray decor create acceptable but unremarkable atmosphere.

  • Bad Buzz

    Can get busy quickly, feeling rushed detracts from trendy atmosphere.

Perks: Spacious parking marred by invasive chatter

Bluefin offers ease in the form of ample and free parking, highly lauded by satisfied customers. The patio seating is perfect for a comfortable dining experience, and waitstaff imbue an attentive touch by accommodating food allergies. However, the restaurant's noise levels and seating arrangements leave much to be desired, and the service can be quite slow and unprofessional, which negatively affects the overall experience.

  • Great Outdoor

    Cozy patio seating with heaters provides perfect dining comfort.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Reservations don't guarantee timely seating; wait times can be long.
