Whether you’re dining solo or with a party of 15, you’ll find plenty of seating in this spacious downtown sushi lounge. There’s even a unique private room where guests sit on floor pillows. Low blue lighting gives the place a soothing vibe. The menu offers treats for sushi aficionados, such as the Majik Mushroom nigiri (Kobe beef with warm truffle butter and mushroom salt) or the Roll of Mass Destruction (a deep-fried double roll with no rice, stuffed with tuna, crawfish, cream cheese and crab). But picky kids (and the sushi-phobic) can find plenty to eat on the entrée menu, which features flatbreads, crispy duck and garlic shrimp. Bluefin offers several brands of saké (both hot and cold) and a decent wine selection. Desserts are of the American variety, such as fried apple pie and brownie à la mode.

BlueFin Memphis
by jtylermcclendon on 08/31/2010
 
As I live only a few blocks from BlueFin, I have eaten there dozens of times over the last few years. While two years ago it was one of my favorite restaurants in town, it has gone dramatically downhill. The last three times I have eaten there I have had to wait at least 45 minutes to be served the first morsel of food--even when they are not full. That's a long time when you're starting with edamame. Furthermore, the food and drinks are dramatically overpriced; the whole thing I feel is geared up to take advantage of people who come into downtown Memphis from surrounding small towns and are willing to pay up for the atmosphere or simply do not know what eating sushi should be like.

Three weeks ago I went with a group of 4 other friends and we had to wait 30 minutes after being seated for a server to even take a drink order. Over the next two hours it took for us to get our food and finish, our server only returned two other times. Then, to top it off, they added an 18% gratuity for a party of 5 and the worst service I've had in years. Upon my complaining they refused to take it off! I swore I would never eat there again. Unfortunately, I broke my promise to myself and ordered takeout again. That's unfortunate because I received a takeout box crammed with sushi rolls stacked on top of one another.
