Mac and cheese, asparagus, and dumplings
Chad P.

My first restaurant visit in New York City in a long time! Right outside of many of the Broadway theaters. We had a reservation and we were able to get in very easily around at dinner time. Service was excellent the entire time! We ordered a lot of sushi as well as some of the side dishes. Everything was top notch! Definitely would return for a very nice dinner. We didn't drink much but if you want, they have quite the selection! I just recommend all of the side dishes. They were just excellent!

A seafood, sushi restaurant that knows how to cook a good steak as well. Wow. What a wonderful dinner we surprisingly had at Bluefin. "Surprisingly", I say because it was a last minute dinner choice heading into New York 30 minutes before their closing. Located inside W Hotel in Time Square, we had a late arrival and simply wanted to catch a bite before heading to bed. Even though they were close to closing, Blue Fin was graciously so accommodating. Per our waiter's recommendation, I ordered their Sea-bass. Amazing. But what also stood out to me was their ribeye and wagyu. Simply cooked to perfection (even if it was perhaps their last order of the night). Their Mac n cheese and calamari was also so good. Thoroughly enjoyed each plate so very much. My only regret was not saving this meal later during our trip to enjoy more. I will definitely be back next time I visit New York. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and great first meal of our trip. Highly recommend giving their meat dishes a try along with their seafood & sushi.

This restaurant is truly hidden. I can't believe how many times I must have walked past it in the heart of Times Square. I visited with my family, and we had a table for three. The food is delicious; I ordered the prix fixe menu. The highlight for me was the first course: the Lobster Bisque. It was perfectly made and served with plenty of lobster.The salmon was good. The Butterscotch Bread Pudding for dessert was remarkably amazing! I highly recommend saving room for it, because I'm not sure it would be the same if it weren't served fresh and warm. The service was great, and our waiter was super friendly and helpful. This place is definitely a hidden gem. I also tried the sushi, which was excellent. We did have a minor hiccup with my sister's scallops not being fully cooked, but the manager handled it well and removed the entree from the bill. Overall, I would return, especially to try sitting at the bar for happy hour. I was pleasantly surprised and will be bookmarking this restaurant for future visits, or for when I need a spot to entertain family or friends who are visiting.

What a fantastic happy hour experience at Blue Fin inside the W Hotel Times Square! We were staying at the W and needed a quick, delicious bite before heading to musical theater, and they absolutely delivered. The food was incredible. We devoured the mini lobster rolls, perfectly steamed edamame, flavorful crab cake, and those truly memorable tuna poke tacos. For happy hour, head upstairs to the spacious and beautifully decorated bar, which I loved for its striking blue accents. A big shout-out to the amazing staff who made the experience even better! I'll definitely be back on my next trip to New York. Happy Hour Daily 4 - 6PM & 9PM - Close.

You know I love my birthday! So I was very excited when Joe took me to Blue Fin to celebrate. We got there a little before the hustle and bustle of actually dinner service so our server was very attentive and gave great and honest suggestions (which I always appreciate!). This has been sitting in my drafts for a while so it's hard for me to remember the details of the night but I remember leaving and thinking that I'd definitely be back. The restaurant is beautiful and great for a date night (or birthday ;) ).

Bread Pudding

We've been going here for years - what an absolute gem, and the opposite of a tourist trap right in Times Square. We shared four small plates - the sea bass bites, the cauliflower salad, the bang bang rock shrimp and shishitos, and the baked oysters. Everything was flavorful, interesting, and impeccably made. We had room for dessert and were recommended the bread pudding - don't have to tell us twice. It was unbelievable... that truly might be the best dessert I've ever had. Topped with dolce de leche ice cream and a candied pecan sauce... Drool-worthy.

Came here before a Broadway show and the food was very delicious. We got King crab fried rice, and three sushi rolls along with some oysters as the appetizer. The service was very friendly and very quick. They explain the menu and were very helpful. The restaurant itself is beautiful on the inside. We came right before New Year's and it was all still decorated and it's Christmas themed stuff so it was really pretty and fun.

Ribeye
Tom M.

Service was prompt and friendly, although there were only two tables, including ours. For a great location, right on Times Square, it felt very eerie to be so empty. The upstairs was very spacious with plenty of room downstairs as well. Lots of sushi options and menu variety to appease any appetite. The food was creatively done, especially the Seabass bites. The presentation was superb and the complexity of different ingredients really was a highlight. The mini lobster rolls were a nice touch as an appetizer, but probably was better described as lobster sliders instead. A side orders of asparagus was very good as was being topped off with thick cut bacon bits and a fried egg was a creative touch! Although the other side of brussels sprouts were served with a healthy portion, I was disappointed that they were not roasted in much to use soft which left it quite bland. The Chilean Seabass was good, although the portion was very small. Interesting, the ribeye was a good size, but not very thick although it was cooked very well with a nice sear. For the price, I don't think it was a good value, especially with so much competition nearby, but the food was above average although the portions were small. I am also a little disappointed that there was no recognition for my son who was celebrating his birthday, until we actually left when the hostess greeted him. I specifically mentioned that we were celebrating his milestone when making the reservation. While most restaurants would offer some complementary dessert, I was only hoping for some type of recognition during the meal.

What a great find while exploring Times Square! And, lucky for me I got to take advantage of their Happy Hour specials! Friendly staff and quick service! I will visit again when I'm back in NYC!

5 +++ on service. Food great , fresh, rich, delicious. Walked in and was immediately served. Ordered special drinks and i was pleased with them all. My total bill for 2 was about $165 so it is pricey. But we paid and tipped well because of the service. Wonderful place for a celebration.

Bass bites
Tee D.

What a great experience. Charles -Preston is a wonderful server who is very helpful and polite! The bacon is top tier The scallops are fantastic Wedge salad is amazing as well Nothing was bad and the place looks great. Highly recommend unless you're squeamish about Times Square and crowds, which I feel you on that.

I came here to throw down on some seafood and that's exactly what we did. I found out about this place because one of my favorite TikTok foodies posted that she came here when she was visiting from Chicago. It was also my friend's birthday so we figured we'd check it out. If you come with a group of 4 or more, including the birthday person, they eat for free, which is a pretty nice perk. This place lived up to every bit of the hype. We did the $125 option which includes lobster. If you have people in your group who are on the fence about spending the extra money, just remind them it's only about $35 more and that's basically the cost of one lobster anywhere else. Here you're getting unlimited lobster. The food literally just kept coming. At one point we were running out of room on the table. One thing I really appreciated was that the staff noticed and started putting multiple items on the same plates instead of bringing everything out separately. It sounds small but it actually helped a lot and showed they were paying attention. The drinks weren't super strong but they definitely weren't weak either. If you love seafood, come hungry and bring a group. The vibes were great, the service was on point, and we left absolutely stuffed.

I highly recommend coming with a large group so you can try a bit of everything. They also offer an option to pay an extra $45 to take your leftovers home, which is absolutely worth it. I ended up with so much food that my fridge is still full. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to others.

Im so glad my friends were distracted. Lost on what to get, I asked for a recommendation and went with the wing basket, while the rest of the table did the 3lb boil with a calamari basket. The boils comes out very fast, fry baskets about 10min longer. The food was fresh, hot, but lightly seasoned (the wings). I requested ranch for the wings, they didnt have any. There was a spicy mayo to dip but it wasnt my cup of tea. As long as the birthday girl had fun, thats all that counts. Im grateful the server asked about allergies. Saved me a trip to the emergency room.

I've been coming here for years, and the quality of the food continues to keep me coming back. During this visit, I ran into a recurring issue with my lobster. It was carrying a large amount of roe, which I was actually happy about because I enjoy it and didn't want any of it to go to waste. However, the roe deep inside wasn't fully cooked during the initial steaming process. I had to go back and forth with Ash and the kitchen staff several times, but they remained patient, attentive, and committed to making sure everything was cooked properly. Ash, one of the managers, provided excellent customer service throughout the experience. While I was waiting, he kindly offered me a complimentary cup of New England clam chowder, which was absolutely delicious and very much appreciated since I was starving. Before leaving, I also ordered two more 2 lb. steamed lobsters to go. I explained my concern, and the staff made sure they were thoroughly cooked before packaging them. Both were perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. I truly appreciate the team's dedication to customer satisfaction and their willingness to make things right. Their excellent service, combined with consistently great seafood, is why I've remained a loyal customer for years. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back. Thank you!
