“ The food was excellent. We had sheepshead fish, locally caught and in season. A whitefish, very tender, flakey and buttery. Served over mashed potato, with a lovely stock, mussels , clams, asparagus. Delightful. Enjoyed PEI oysters as an appetizer. Excellent. Service and as very good. The drinks were nicely served but not to our liking- our choice so not a fault of the restaurant. ”

“ We had dinner at this restaurant on Valentine's Day and it was top notch. We enjoyed all of our food and appetizers. Everything was perfectly cooked and displayed and the taste was excellent. Coming from New Jersey where there are 1 million great restaurants, this restaurant definitely is great.Highly recommend! The atmosphere in the restaurant was very cute and inviting. Perfect for our family on Valentine's Day! The service was also incredible. We had an excellent waiter and he was very attentive and knowledgeable and kind. ”

“ Love the service, food and staff! It's professionally ran and they always change the menu. ”

“ Everything went well. We had reservations and were seated promptly. The decor was nice and we were seated in a corner by the window that was quiet for conversation. The outside seating and gardens are lovely, but it was a bit warm and elected to stay inside. The server promptly took our drink and salad orders while we decided on entrees. She was very attentive on refilling drinks and checking on our table without us having to ask. Everything was absolutely cooked to perfection. The turkey, Mahi Mahi and NY strip were all super moist and tender. The only slight negative was the bordelaise sauce on the steak was a bit salty, but that's personal preference. This was a special Thanksgiving menu, but we definitely will try dinner and the weekend brunch. Definitely another Avondale gem. ”

“ So we haven't been in years - not sure why. Went last pm for happy hour. Sat at the bar. Had 3 doz raw Virginia oysters - $13 a dozen. Delicious. The shucker is a very nice lady. We will be back. Used to love their muscles as well. Happy hour only in bar area but it was packed, just like it always was pre-pandemic. ”

“ My favorite part about Blue Fish is the location, Avondale is hands down the cutest community in Jax and I love visiting the area often. The second thing I love about Blue Fish is their Happy Hour, some of the best specials in town. Today I visited with a friend for lunch for the first time and I ordered the shrimp and grits. I definitely missed the part of the menu where it discussed the spice level but luckily I enjoy a little spice. The grits were stone ground but still creamy, the shrimp were perfectly cooked. I understand the purpose of leaving the tail on but I still don't like it . Service was okay for bar seating, it was pretty meh not bad but not worth writing about. The restaurant was nice and quiet it's not aesthetically pleasing in my opinion and could use some updating. The outdoor seating however is beautiful ”

“ I came in today for brunch and it was so hot in the restaurant, it made the experience very uncomfortable! Not sure if it was a bad day or what. Otherwise, Blue Fish has a great brunch menu and it's one of my favorite places for brunch. I don't drink alcohol much but they have great deals on their cocktail menu especially their Bloody Mary's, Mimosas, Sangrias, etc. On this visit, I ordered the lemon cod with capers, it came with grits and potatoes. I was really happy with my meal. It was very good and I cleaned my plate. During brunch they offer complimentary starters and dessert. I had the fresh fruit to start and ended with a snickerdoodle cookie and cheesecake brownie. Our server was really nice and we had a nice experience. But again, not sure what's going on but it was so hot in the restaurant, we were all sweating and fanning ourselves on a 100 degree day in Florida, it was not fun. ”
