Blue Fin New York

Without diminishing the success of our meals, I typically don’t expect food of this caliber in “tourist” type venues, however, Blue Fin did not disappoint.

Realizing my choice in dinner reservations placed me too distant from the theater district (before a performance) I changed my dinner reservations from a restaurant in Soho to Blue Fin in Times Square. What a great choice.

My friend and I arrived and we were immediately seated upstairs, without a wait. Important when time is limited. We began with Crab Cakes as an entree and the serving easily accommodated both of us; moreover, the Cilantro Aioli was delicious. Dinner was a Truffle Crusted Filet Mignon for her and Local Striped Bass for myself. The bass had flavor and the softest texture. Falling apart when speared, great with each bite. The lemon-chive and risotto made it more than enough for one – all delicious. I did not taste her Filet, but she made it clear it was delicious and loved every bite. Without diminishing the success of our meals, I typically don’t expect food of this caliber in “tourist” type venues, however, Blue Fin did not disappoint.

My only complaint is a mild annoyance with the upstairs bar. My friend, more forgiving than I, did not comment on the bar patrons spilling out toward the dining area. There came a moment where a gentleman drinking a Martini was only a breath away from her shoulder and I felt the staff should have contained the ever-growing and expanding crowd. That said, I have no other complaint.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, a modern beautiful venue (make sure to dine upstairs with a view of the sculpted staircase), and great food. A winner. Make your reservation by Clicking Here.
