The star of the show was the sauces --- umami but subtle, fresh and perfectly complemented the flavor profile of each of their proteins.

This was our first visit to Bluefin. We have wanted to give it a try for quite some time. We were definitely glad that we did. We started with some miso soup, cucumber salad, and kelp salad. All were great. We then had the steak carpaccio, soft shell crab roll, and a Philadelphia roll. Everything was delicious. We enjoyed a wonderful bottle of champagne with our meal. The service was great. Definitely a wonderful experience and we will be returning again soon.
