Save your money and go to a better restaruant..
My family and I ate at Blue Fins Bistro for the first time last night and it was disapointing.
My husband and I ordered crab cakes and having a good taste they were not hot. I had ordered rice with the meal and they brought me roasted potatoes.
There were five in our party and instead of sitting us at a larger table with seven chairs they put us at a table for four and pulled a chair up for the end of the table which my granddaughter was sitting out in the flow of traffic.
I believe the prices were way to high for the meal you received. Will never eat there again. Maybe some like it but if I pay those prices I want better service and better quality of food. Lucky for us we had a Groupon and they knocked off 30$. Save your money and go to a better restaurant.…
This Bistor leaves me blue, everytime!. Have tried Blue Fins 3X now (it is very close to our house); 1 occassion was okay and 2 were horrible. NOT going back as 3X and you are out! This time I ordered shrimp and grits which were to be prepared with creole sauce. This chef obviously has never had creole sauce or seen a recipe for same. I got a bowl of shrimp, sausage and grits drowning in greasy butter! Thought about getting my cardiologist on the line just in case. Seriously unappetizing to look at and tasted gross. Service was so pitiful. Not sure how this place is still in business.…
Love This Place!. My husband and I went into Blue Fin's for our first time this past Friday. From drinks to dessert it was an over all great experience! We were seated and were greeted happily by our waitress within 5 minutes. For starters we ordered 2 of their signature martini's, my husband got the dirty brusied, and I got the hawiian. Our martini's were perfect! We then ordered the Oysters Rockfeller appetizer which was OUTSTANDING! We found our waitress (Hannah) to be very helpful, and knowing of the menu, which made it easy for us to make our decsion. My husband got the pork tenderlion and shrimp, and I got the tuna with coconut shrimp. Both of these entrees were absolutely delicious!!! If people werent around we might have licked our plates clean! :) After dinner we were stuffed but the dessert tray they brought out to the table tempted us so much we couldnt refuse. We ordered the cranberry pear cheesecake which might have been the best piece of cheesecake I've ever had. It was so good we ordered one to go! All around an awesome exprience from start to finish! I will definitely be telling my friends about this well kept secret in Wake Forest!!…
Not worth the drive from N. Raleigh.
I found out about it online (coupon) and we made a special trip, six of us from North Raleigh for their regular All You Can Eat Ribs night. Not a long or hard drive but still 20-25 min to get out
there on a work night.
They pulled a few tables together and disappeared so we assumed it was safe to seat ourselves (the pictures are deceiving on the size of the place, what you see is what you get). 15 minutes later a waitress came by and got our drink orders. 10 minutes later another waitress brought us water, but not the coffee or the beers-we still had to wait another ten minutes for that. All the while the staff was MIA or otherwise occupied with random nothingness; really, the bathrooms could stand to be cleaned up if you've got that much time on your hands while ignoring paying customers. After much time arranging the creamers in a cute little circle for us the bartender dropped those off and disappeared. The original waitress came back a few more minutes later, took our order, didn't write anything down and of course all the sides were wrong. And that was after she came back to check on some of the sides that she "forgot".
Between the tag teamed half effort on behalf of the staff...then the nerve to try and say that the regular special (printed in ink on the laminated menu-i.e. doesn't change) was an "other offer" and could not be combined with my coupon. They did accommodate my request to split the bill so I could use the coupon on one of them; however that should not have been my idea. And I had asked to see the bill before applying the coupon so I would know what to tip on; I wasn't being cheap either-there were six of us vs. a $20 coupon (still over $100 tab after coupon, before tip).
Overall, the poor service really ruined it for me and I'm sorry I didn't read the reviews first! I could have saved time and money, by eating in town or even better at home.…
DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!. I went in today for a lunch. When I entered the restaurant, there was no staff in sight, so I seated myself. Exactly 12 minutes later a waitress showed up. She brought me a glass of water, when I told her I was ready to order she said wait a minute while I seat this couple walking through the door. I was appalled. I sat for 12 minutes & waited for her to make an apperance and sat myself and this couple was not even in the door! When I told her it was my first time there and asked what would she recommend she told me that the big sellers were burgers and fish tacos. (I didnt ask what were "big sellers") Not wanting a big burger and not being a fish taco person, I asked about the turkey on Ciabatta. I asked if it was processed turkey or real turkey and was very clear that I only wanted real turkey. She assured me it was real and not processed, so I ordered it. Of course when she brought it out it was processed! I was furious to say the least with my entire experience here. Not to mention, the waitresses personal hygeine was disgusting. I would not recommend this plance nor will I ever go back. A big waste of time!! Whover is writing favorable reviews must be friends of the owner or staff.…
