PassionFish Restaurant Review

: Sleek and modern, Reston’s PassionFish, from chef Jeff Tunks, offers guests a seaworthy meal inspired by coastal cooking from around the globe. Expect to find the freshest seafood incorporated into fanciful sushi rolls, Peruvian ceviche and Vietnamese spring rolls. But perhaps the most appealing are the simplest dishes: the poached and chilled lobsters, the fried oysters, and the poached Icelandic Arctic char. Best bet? The Fisherman’s Wharf cioppino is a heady concoction chunky with seafood bathed in a rich broth. Dessert selections are limited, but you should not miss a portion of the chocolate mousse praline crunch. The restaurant’s futuristic design stars a “floating” staircase leading to second-floor seating, and a chilled-seafood station that takes center stage on the ground floor.

Great Place To Eat If You Don't Want Large Portions!

The salmon was dry, and the lobster in the clay pot was very chewy. The sushi was fantastic though. The portions are very small so if you're watching your weight this is a great place to eat. The service was slow and it was very noisy.
