Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Blue Fin in Columbia offers a delightful dining experience with standout fish dishes and a warm atmosphere. Guests praise the "fantastic" bass and salmon, with attentive service from staff like Tyler and Destinee. While the ambiance is lively, it's recommended to time visits around live music for a quieter setting.

    Our waitress mentioned it was her first night. First, I asked what the soup of the day was and she couldn’t remember so she went to ask but unfortunately it was already sold out (at 7:15 PM). Second, she brought our drinks and they were made as ordered. Next, we received the appetizer we had ordered and it was also as ordered. We wanted to request bread but she didn’t give us the chance so we ended up getting another waitress’s attention to request bread. Then, I received my large house salad (my dinner selection) but it did not include the grilled chicken I had ordered. She went to check on the grilled chicken and I finally received it about 10 minutes later when my husband received his shrimp and grits (dinner selection). The restaurant was very noisy with children screaming (and running) and even adults speaking very loudly in the booths and tables and bar area around us. We have dined here many times but this particular dining experience was disappointing. We understand it was the waitress’s first night and we are very understanding of that but overall we were disappointed.

    One of the best brunches in Columbia area - we eat here a few Sundays each month. Food and service is always excellent!

    I had to send my Ahi Tuna back. It didn't taste very good, and it seemed to have been sitting out all day. It was warm - not like it had just been seared but warm. Then I had two tiny crabcakes on a bed of black-eyed peas, tomatoes, and little bits of leaks. There was no sauce, so it was rather dry.

    This is my husband’s favorite local restaurant and we took him out for his birthday. It was a great experience as always. His go-to meal is the blackened sea bass and mine is the catfish. The only thing we’re always missing is a fish-dish on the kids menue (fried fish maybe). The staff is on point and the ambience as well. Nothing fancy but great restaurant.
