"The weather was so beautiful on Friday we ate out on the patio which is lovely. However, there is construction going on right now so it was a bit noisy. I probably wouldn't eat outside again for a while until the construction moves to the next phase. Food was great as always - ceviche is one of the best in town. Rolls are always good too."

"What was once a great place is somewhat mediocre. Went for Mother's Day brunch and was served the dinner menu with 3 specials of poached eggs with holland aide sauce. (Apparently having these on the menu constitutes brunch). My office is in the town center and I frequent passion fish for dinner). In the past 5 years the menu has not changed once. When I bring my wife and daughter we are always seated in the back (I presume because we have a child which is a bit annoying). Great potential but getting a little tired for dinner. Better for a lunch in my view."

"I had the crispy flounder - skin on - perfection. Mothers Day so I sprang for a Merseult - great pairing. Mom got the Icelandic Haddock. Desert was a rhubarb strawberry crisp. Worth writing a review on, need I say more?"

"What an amazing dinning experience. Our server Goulnara, was perfect. She explained the dinner menu flawlessly. Stopping to explain details of each dish. We had appitizers of Oysters and Sushi. Both were perfect. My wife ordered the broiled scallops with pasta and bacon. I ordered, on Goulnara's recommendation, the Bronzini. This Mediterranean Sea bass is served whole and filleted table side by the server. It was delicious!
This was the third trip to this restaurant and again were not disappointed. It's one of the best sea food restaurants I have ever experienced and has kept the personal service and quality of food at the highest levels."

"I took my wife and teens here for a special Mother's Day Lunch. Everything was as perfect as could be, the atmosphere, the food, and the service. I'll be sure to take out of town guests and family here, at least the ones I want to spoil."

"This is a great restaurant and this was a return visit. The food was as great as ever. The restaurant a little noisy but enjoyable none the less. A potential evening spoiler, a full glass of water spilled over my wife's setting, plate, dress and chair, was rescued by a great waiter. He was there immediately, no questions, he went into recovery mode. Everything was done so quickly, quietly and perfectly that we were back at our dinner in moments - with a replaced entree for my wife. Our waiter saved the evening - thank you.
K"

"The waiter was difficult to understand with his broken English. Also, we were seated by the wait station where the waiters congregated and chatted which was disconcerting. The noise level did not make for a very enjoyable evening."

"This is a very nice restaurant for date night or business dinners. Very nice looking place inside, wonderful and knowledgeable servers, and good food. Prices were about $28-$38 on average for entrees. Would recommend."

"PassionFish is a great date night destination, whether it's Valentine's Day, Anniversary or a Tuesday after work. The menu has many great choices and something for everyone but nothing run-of-the-mill, The service is impressive and warm...not hoity-toity. A very, very good dining experience."

"Had a reservation and were seated the minute we arrived! Had salad special of purple asparagus, arugula, pistachios,...as an app. to share. Quite good, though a bit too oily for our tastes, and on the steep side, price-wise, at $12! Husband had whole flounder. Asked for extra spicy (he eats habaneros as a snack). Waiter kept telling us it was a spicy dish, which we knew, but I had to keep asking for them to add EXTRA spice. When it arrived, they had only topped it with a load of sliced peppers. Was expecting the cooking sauce to have been extra spicy. I had 2 sushi rolls which were good, but nothing special. And again, for $14-16 per roll, it was overpriced. Coffee was weak/blah; didn't finish. Good food but overpriced.Seems a Tunks' thing"

"We were party of 4 on Friday evening for my husband's 30th birthday. Restaurant was clean, little bit busy and overall the ambience was pretty good. The hostess brought us upstairs and she was friendly and told us our server will be right with us soon. Our server came and offered us water. We ordered drinks and it took a while for our drinks to arrived. No appetizer suggestions, or what's good on the menu (our first time there) from her (the server). Our food was great although the portion was small. Our server didn't offer a dessert either considered it was my husband's birthday so we asked for the check and left. Overall, the food is good but service could have been better."

"Terrible service. Waited for the waiter, when he did show up he reread the menu to us like we were idiots. The restaurant is a white tablecloth restaurant, but it is loud, obnoxious people with bad table manners, screaming children and not a restaurant to hold a conversation in. The food was mediocre at best and very over-priced for what we had."

"I took a customer and some of my employees to PassionFish. The food was excellent and the service was phenomenal. Very attentive server and bus staff. Our wine glasses and water was always filled. They make you feel like you're the only table in the restaurant. Had the lobster and butternut squash soup which was great. I also had the Mahi Mahi special which was cooked to perfection. We also ordered some sushi rolls which my guests thought was very good. I highly recommend the restaurant for a special occasion or impressing clients."

"Chef Chris Clime is one of the most underated chefs in the Washington area. He is creative and passionate about the food his kitchen sends to each diner. Clearly the best sea food restaurant in the area."

"Nothing to criticize but at the same time I can't say I was blown away by any particular dish. This should not be interpreted negatively - everything we were served was delicious, well cooked, well seasoned, etc - it's just that I can't say anything was a revelation. We'd go back in a heartbeat."

"This is just a great restaurant. Crab cakes have no filler-all crab and halibut was cooked to perfection-moist and flaky. Asparagus were best we have had in a long time. Service likewise is outstanding. Makes for a perfect dinner. Best seafood in NVA!!!"

"This was our third visit to Passion Fish, and most likely our last. We waited for 15-20 minutes for a table even though we had a reservation. The host staff was very polite, however. We were greeted promptly after being seated and ordered cocktails. We were told the bartender was "behind tonight" letting us know there would be a significant wait for drinks even. I ordered sushi and my husband had the lobster clay pot. My biggest issue was the one-note flavor of all the food. The sauce on the sushi tasted like an over-salted Thousand Island dressing. The crab in the sushi is more of a crab salad making it taste very much like mayonnaise. I enjoy GOOD sushi; this restaurant does not have it."

"PassionFish is always very busy on Friday evenings & this one was no exception. I had forgotten how difficult it is to talk because it is so noisy. There was a woman sitting behind our table who was yelling to make her table companions heard; very unpleasant for us. But the food here is always very good; our server was great at accommodating our extensive needs (my husband & I are both dieting and had very exacting requests about what we could and could not eat). He made suggestions about what to consider that would be better for us and then easily modified everything to suit us. Our friends, who didn't have all the dieting considerations, loved the crab and corn soup and the crabcakes and a chocolate dessert."

"Food excellent, menu original, all fresh. Service very good until they starting cleaning the floor behind us at around 9:20 p.m. and we were treated to waiters' discussion of their plans for the weekend (take it somewhere else, please). It felt as if they were hurrying us, which was irritating. The 20% service charge on parties of 6 and over tends to make this place one for special occasions only. In fact, the food was pricey as it was, so 20% was onerous. The American system of forcing waiters to rely on tips, amounts to passing their salary on to the diner, a questionable employment practise as it is. Worse, though, is that it completely skews the concept of gratuities: you tip if you're satisfied, not out of compulsion."
