The Blue Fin has become my second kitchen...or rather, second dining room. The service I've experienced has been second to none, and the kitchen is always willing to make adjustments or do what they can to make sure you get exactly what you want, so the food is stellar. Some of my favorites: Parmesan encrusted Tilapia (I get it w/o the crab stuffing), crab dip with pita points, southwest egg rolls, mushroom ravioli in madiera cream redution, garlic mashed potatos, regular house salad (their blue cheese is to die for!) The owners are personable and very hands-on - you know you are being taken care of. David and Jenni are the consummate host and hostess - and Jenni makes a mean drink, served with rapier wit. Roland knows how to satisfy your tummy - he's awesome. Heather, Liz, Karen, 'Delicious,' Tom...they are all wonderful and will take good care of you. \r
