So grateful to find such a lovely restaurant open on Christmas. With limited dining options on the holiday, it was super busy, but they were so gracious at the end of our meal. I truly appreciated the wonderful experience, and will be back!

We asked for a quiet table, and the table was perfect. In other words, the restaurant listened to our request. Server was personable and very knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, we had a very good celebratory dinner and would come again.

We had a great meal at BLUFIN and very good customer service. We had hoped to sit outside to admire the beautiful view but we sat in the dining room due to rain which worked out just fine. Big windows behind the bar showcase the bay outside. We'd recommend this to anyone in the Tampa area.
