Food was imaginative, of excellent quality and professionally served. Strangely, staff was inclined to remove plates before everyone had finished, and seems surprised when asked otherwise. Noise level was a bit high, hampering conversation. On balance, however, the experience was as good as it was in the past, and we will certainly return.

Drove down from the Bay Area for a few days & stayed at a lovely VRBO. Our good friend had never eaten at Passionfish & had been wanting to dine there for quite some time. We finally made her wish come true!!! Terrific meal. Scallop appetizers were spot on. Butternut Bisque was exquisite. The entrees were just as mouth watering: Scallops, Shrimp & the special...Striped Bass was out of this world!!! Ended w/Roquefort Ice Cream (which was one person's choice & we shared). Overall, this place always requires being in attendance. Consistent in every way. PS: Candace knows how to take care of all who visit!!!
