Reviews for Blue Fish Restaurant and Oyster Bar in Jacksonville, FL

From out of town on business travel, was told to give this place a try, was not disappointed! First of all, for being short... staffed, the service was great, Holly was amazing! I had the goat cheese salad and it was unique. One of my favorite things toorder whenever it is available, usually served with some kind of berries to cut the tart/tang of goat cheese. This salad had sundried tomatoes, a flavorful dressing and a lightly fried ball of goat cheese, and some pecans. At first, I was skeptical as afrequent eater of these salads, it was different, however it was delicious! It was a refreshing change to a classic. I wasn'toverly hungry, so I ended up going off the recommendation of a friend and ordering the 'knock your socks off shrimp'. The shrimpwas very fresh tasting, the sauce was good, I was hoping for a bit more spice as I tend to order the spiciest stuff I can find,but it was still pretty good. I ordered a double whiskey to go with it and the pour was fair and reasonably priced. Therestaurant is very clean and well kept, and if weather permits, the patio was comfortable and cozy. Would definitely come back! Read more

We had an AMAZING time! Very perfect for date night as the atmosphere can be both lively and intimate. I recommend creating a... reservation EARLY (a day or two out) as you want room just in cade your plans change. We went on a Friday night at around 7:30(reservation booked for 8) . It was PACKED. We waited about 6 minutes though. So it wasn't bad at all. I will say thataccessibility, I am not fully sure of, as my man did tell them that lower seating would be needed for me (I am disabled) but wewere sat at higher seats as another cane user was. BUT I was still comfortable, just keep in mind that when you reserve you maywant to specifically ask for outside seating. The food was awesome! 10/10 on the KeyLime Shrimp Pasta! He ended up gettingCuban Mojo prepared Snapper and LOVED IT! Cool thing is that you get to choose prep techniques which will coincide with whatfish you should get . You can always ask your server for suggestions. Overall, great time and we both agreed we would go backagain :) Read more

This was a great find! I loved the ambiance of this establishment! Great service from the time we entered the parking lot until... we left. The sock it to me shrimp was absolutely flavorful with nice crisp and a slight heat. Fried shrimp dinner was friedright and delectable. The shrimp are a very nice size too. The red beans and rice is a definite try as well. Allison our serverwas absolutely phenomenal! Very personable and attentive. I'll definitely be back! Read more

Me and my wife’s first time trying this place and I must it was nothing to be remembered. Though the seafood is fresh, as in... tastes fresh out the water, the seasoning or lack there leaves much to be desired. My wife ordered the blackened salmon toppedwith lump crab meat with spinach and jasmine rice. The salmon came out burnt not blackened. The server argued at the behests ofthe kitchen it was not burnt it was just the fish we chose. After a little back and forth we had them just bring a grilled pieceof salmon with lump crab meat instead. It came out perfect. I had the Snapper (fried) with scallops and shrimp, fresh vegetablesand orzo. Though the dish was good it didn’t live up to the 32 dollar price tag in terms of flavor and presentation. Same goeswith my wife’s dish. We also had the Louisiana crab dip. It was a well balance cheesy garlic forward dip. Overall i wouldvisit again just with lower expectations. Read more

My dish- Philly Cheese Steak Overall a well done sandwich, the beef was a little unseasoned but still manageable. 7/10 Shrimp... Po boi- Very good 10/10 Salmon was also a little unseasoned but could still be fixed. I think overall this restaurant is asolid pick. The deserts ( brownies and ice-cream) and (creme Brule) were also very Tasty 10/10. Read more

Food Not bad, I would return it was better before the pandemic.. The salmon cakes I would NOT recommend no flavor at all.. The... drinks are also bad.. I ordered 2 different Martinis they both were so sweet the Sangria was weird it tasted like it hadcarbonation.. It was also a NO. I'm giving 4 stars because of the location, great service and outdoor seating.. Looking forwardto visiting again!!!! Read more

The place is great and the food is amazing. The ONLY reason it gets four stars is because the stall in the men's bathroom is... only meant for people 5'8" or taller. You'd have to rare all the way back or stand at a distance and aim up if you're shorter.I'm not that tall, so I am speaking from experience. But again, the food is amazing. Highly recommend the place. Read more
