I have been here a few times with friends. If you are looking for a good fish place, this is it. I always try something new every time I go.

When you live in the desert, you don't get much fresh fish. Can't help it, that's the way it is. This place does its best to be a seafood spot, and it ain't all that bad. This day was busy, and service was slow, and certain orders didn't arrive as planned, or as ordered. Maybe the kitchen had too much... More

Found the Bluefin using Urbanspoon on a recent trip to Tucson. There were mixed reviews, but it was in our area and it was located in a nice outdoor mall. We dined upstairs and had a nice window view, as it was to cool and breezy to sit outdoors. The food was excellent. We did not have the fastest service,... More

Very good seafood, relaxing atmosphere in the upstairs dinning room, good bar scene downstairs, outside dining in the courtyard. All in all a great find, located in a nice upscale mall.

Went early on a Sunday (5:30) and had a table upstairs, with mountain view. Quiet; outstanding food and service. Not our first visit, and certainly not our last!

We decided to give the Bluefin another chance and booked up through open table. Our previous visit was not a nice experience and unfortunately much the same was repeated. Firstly, although we had not booked an outside table we did request one on arrival because the restaurant is dingy and grubby, especially upstairs where we were carted off again but... More

The lamb was very good! They had a good selection of wines, beers and non-alcoholic drinks. Wonderful atmosphere and we were seated without a reservation.

Delicious caesar salad with fresh anchovies - yum! Each dish - scallops and mahi mahi - were wonderful with interesting sides and sauces. Attentive wait staff, great service. Would definitely go back!

Found this on our Garmin while looking for something seafood but not chain. It was 5 miles off I-10 but well worth the trip. Food was very well prepared; I was especially taken with their Asian slaw -- flavorful and light. The service was impeccable -- not intrusive. A nice spot to relax after a long day in the car.
