What People Are Saying About Bluefin

Featured Review

The Scene – A heavily-glassed Hollywood vibe oozes from every scale of this splashy Japanese fusion restaurant. Beautiful hostesses and white leather wrap-around booths reinforce the over-the-top theme; while silver chopsticks and hot, hand-washing towls serve as a reminder that this is not merely an art-deco version of RuSans. – – The Food – While the grilled sea bass and steak seared tableside are flashy, the sushi outshines the overbearing and sometimes confusing menu. The raw fish selection is inventive and affordable, with rolls coming in large numbers chocked…

Editor's Tips

What to Drink:
The heavily-loaded Ginger Saki-tinis highlight the specialty beverage menu and start the evening off on the right note.
Parking:
The back lot is $3, but you can get your card validated inside. If full, park down the street in the neighborhood.
Where to Sit:
Although the booths are lush to look at, snag a seat at the sushi bar for quick service and a show.

Great food, good service but over priced

by Erin V

The food was great and the services wasn't great but wasn't bad. I don't really care for the two enterences (front and back). Everytime someone came in the back, a gust of cold air would come in. I ate dinner with my jacket on. The place is really narrow so that cold air really feels the building. It was overpriced, and the sake menu wasn't that impressive, and mostly by the bottle not glass. Great for date night but not groups

Unique Atmosphere

by omother

My sister and I enjoy trying new restaurants and I brought my sister here for her birthday a few months ago. I've been meaning to write a review, that's how much the spot stuck out in my mind! It's a nice excluded spot, so next time I'll be there on a date.

  • Pros: Great sushi and service
  • Cons: parking

Great Food, Great Sushi, Great Drinks, Great Atmosphere!

by RockTBP

Need I say more? I love going to a place that's consistent and I have been consistently satisfied with Bluefin. My first sushi experience was awful....everything tasted like the Atlantic Ocean or some canal running through the dingiest neighborhood in America. I can say that Bluefin severly changed my outlook on sushi. Now I have a hard time trying it any other place because I know that I can always have a good experience here. I've eaten their entrees too. AMAZING. Had a 'Bob Marley' once. Great. The atmosphere is always calm and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend it to anyone trying sushi for the first time because there are some selections that don't overwhelm you and make you think of seaweed and coral reefs!

  • Pros: Plenty to chose from even if you don't eat sushi.
  • Cons: Parking but I'd prefer $3 to $10+ or none at all!

Great, Fresh and Fun

by WhitLB

This place has quickly become my boyfriend and Is favorite sushi in Atlanta. I have never tried anything except for the sushi simply because it's so good. the wasabi and seafood is all very fresh. The atmosphere is very swanky. The parking is a little irritating, but if you're feeling cheap you can drive on past the $3 parking lot and park a little farther down on the street. All in all this is my favorite sushi place in town and I love sushi.

  • Pros: Fresh sushi, modern chique atmosphere, good service
  • Cons: Small lounge area, $3 parking, tables can be small if not seated at booth

Amazing Sea Bass!!!!! Great Ambience*

by Naya177

I would totally recommend this place for girlfriends to catch up, fun dates and dinner parties. Their sake martini's are very good.

I'm a total foodie and this place is amazing. My husband just about licked his plate clean! I had the Sea Bass which was soo fresh and the presentation was beautiful. Great sushi too! This place is so beautiful and the design is immaculate. I would highly recommend this place!

  • Pros: Ambience, Service, Sake Martinis, Sea Bass
  • Cons: Parking- you pay 3, but get 3 back later
