    A classic, festive, special place to dine. Loved the weathered wood shingle and the colorful holiday lights adorning the building. Old school menu which I found refreshing. We enjoyed the calamari steak, the sand dabs, and shared a Grand Marnier souffle. There were several birthday celebrations at the restaurant the Sunday night we dined. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. I especially loved the buttery goodness of my sand dabs. Also my hearts of palm salad wit the ginger sesame dressing was very good. Grand Marnier souffle was lovely. There is nothing hipster about this restaurant, and that's why I enjoyed it.

    We love the Beach House but last night our table was in the covered patio area at a table for 2. There were 3 large groups which made for a very noisy unpleasant experience for our intimate dinner. The main dining room is the place to sit!

    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!!!
