We've eaten at Passionfish several times and have always had a wonderful experience. Our server was very attentive, personable, and kind. I asked to have the special fish that evening - the striped sea bass - but I requested to have the trout dish preparation. The server said it would be no problem to have the trout dish but replace the trout with the sea bass. My wife had the scallops and she enjoyed it very much, saying that they were cooked perfectly. We also loved the bread pudding and banana ice cream dessert. Their wine list is quite extensive, also. I highly recommend Passionfish!

Cozy ambiance with outstanding food and great service. Homemade fresh pastas cooked with not overwhelming amount of spices. Owner and chef Michael dropped by every table to ask about the food. Nice personal touch!
