We went to Blue Moon Fish Company for a Father's Day dinner. We sat outside under a cover with a view of the Intra-coastal waterway. The restaurant is definitely expensive, but the food and service were all very good. We started with drinks and appetizers. We had Bang Bang Oysters and the Sushi plate. Both were very good. The drinks, a Margarita and a Cosmopolitan were also good.\r
I had the Sea Bass which was excellent. My wife had the blackened Mahi Mahi, that was actually blackened, not just grilled with blackened seasoning. It was prepared properly, and was also very good. My daughter had the grouper, it was also very good. My other daughter had the Tuna, and it was lightly seared and she enjoyed it as well.\r
The waiter was helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu items, and when I suggested a Chardonnay to go with the meal, he suggested a Sauvignon Blanc that paired very well with the Sea Bass and even the Mahi Mahi. For desert we had the Bananas foster, which was very good. I also had the "Under the Moon" coffee and my wife had the traditional Irish Coffee. Both were very good as well.\r
We were really apprehensive to try this location given how truly horrible the Blue Moon in Coral Springs is. My wife surprised me for Father's day, and it worked out well. We mentioned how bad the Coral Springs location was to the waiter. He explained the whole story about that location, and that they are different, and even considering pulling the Blue Moon name from them. \r
Some of the few problems, only valet parking. There are meters across the street. Why do restaurants do this? They should ALWAYS make self parking an option. Also, when we got to the restaurant about a half hour early at 5:30 we were turned away by the valet, and never given the option to have a drink at the bar while waiting. We came back and parked at the meters about 5:45 and went in. We were seated just a few minutes later, otherwise we would have had a drink at the bar.\r
The hostess and waiter were pleasant and there were no problems at all, so I can't say how they would have been handled. It was very expensive, but at least it was a good meal. Don't confuse this with the Coral Springs restaurant with the same name, that location is truly awful, horrible - stay away. This was really nice.
