Went here for a Sunday brunch that was paired with a theater ticket. Was pretty disappointed. The menu is super exciting, but the dishes don't live up to it. I had a Breakfast Martini (a little watery, but pretty good), a Caesar Salad (okay, but nothing special), a little bit of the Louisiana Seafood Gumbo (very off-balance flavors: way too "dark" and "earthy"), and a full portion of the Eggs Benedict with a side of breakfast potatoes (like the salad: okay, but nothing special). With my co-diner I shared the Cinnamon-Sugar House Rolls. They were tasty, and the apple butter they're served with is a nice touch, but I question the practice of serving something so sweet as an appetizer. Your mother was right: It WILL ruin your appetite. My impression is this is one of those places that tries to do it all and so doesn't really do anything exceptionally well. They've got Mexican, French, American, Coastal, Cajun, and Thai on the menu. That's probably why I was excited about the menu. But in hindsight, that's a pretty bad sign. I've never seen a restaurant pull off that kind of diversity. It's just too hard to deliver that. Final comment on the service: Would not want the server we had ever again, but hopefully that was just a fluke. He spent far too much time standing around the table of two women trying to impress us by showing us how much he knew about stuff he clearly didn't know much about. And it took FOREVER for our food to arrive--to the point that even our overly attentive waiter looked irritated. It was awkward, and when your meal is paired with a theater ticket, they KNOW you have somewhere to be, so... not cool. In general, my assessment of this place is that, at a much lower price point, it'd be worth a trip now and then. But at the price point it's at, I would absolutely never go here again. read more

Fantastic fish and sushi presentations. Had the scallops/bacon/squash dish-phenomenal fusion of flavors. Table of 10, all complimentary on their fish choices. Pricey, however quality fresh food is worth the visit. Great atmosphere, obviously enjoyed by many as the restaurant was crowded for a Wednesday night. read more

Time of Review: *September 25, 2013 @ 7:00pm, dinner for 2 I'd give this place a 3.5 stars if I could! Service: * We were seated immediately, and the dinner service was pretty spot on from taking our orders to refilling drinks to bringing the check. Food Quality/Selection: * it is predominately a seafood place but there are also 2 - 3 steak/chicken options too. I got the tuna roll (8 pieces), whole crispy flounder, and a side of rice. The tuna rolls were fresh, and the flounder was definitely enough for 2 to share - however, it doesn't come with anything else so you'll want to order a side (e.g. rice, etc.) to pair with it. Cost: * You definitely pay for the atmosphere and location of the restaurant, but it's not completely over the top. Parking: Thank you RTC for all the garage parking spaces! read more

The service and ambience of this place are great The food is a Good NOT Great For the prices it better knock me off my chair. It doesn't ... I have been to Seafood places with these prices and most of them can because of the high quality. The food here is slightly above average. I will be back but only for the atmosphere and service.

3.5 stars. The large platter of raw seafood on ice centrally located on the ground floor makes an immediate claim to legitimacy which is then backed up by plate after plate of delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned fish. If cooking is like hooking up, without getting too crass, PassionFish is like the ugly duckling in high school who grew up to be a swan - makes love like the ugly duckling still (so present, so in the moment). The extra effort shows through when its dishes turn out better than most DC seafood restaurants' dishes. PassionFish feels like it needs to try harder since it's all the way out in Reston, and that's something you can immediately appreciate in your mouth. But it's also got a gorgeous interior and a lively atmosphere that make it the place to be for a business dinner when you're stuck in Reston. read more

Love this place! I really don't know why people are complaining about the price. The seafood is fresh, big, wonderfully prepared, and tasty. All the sides are good - especially the mac & jack! Crabcakes with beurre blanc are awesome. Lobster in clay pot was pretty good. Fish tacos (lunch) are okay, nothing too special. Crab & Corn Chowder and Lobster Bisque get two thumbs up. Brunch is spectacular with $5 bloody marys and blood orange mimosas! If you're looking for a cheaper seafood restaurant that is consistently good, go to Bonefish. But nothing can beat the atmosphere and service at PassionFish. Worth the money! read more

Thanks to Restaurant week finally made it to this place. I have heard good reviews from friends and wanted to try it out for sometime now. I went with my foodie friend and we had 1st course: Nigiri Trio Sushi -- Not the best of the sushi I tried at other places. Mariscos (shrimp cocktail) -- Shrimp was good but the sauce was tangy and passable. 2nd course: Blackened Tilapia -- Not the best of the tilapia but the pecan butter sauce was very tasty Seafood Cobb salad -- This was definitely worth trying. I tasted a bit but my friend loved the Louie dressing and the avocado. 3rd course: Creme brulee -- This dessert always find a place in my order at any restaurant. It tasted okay but loved the almond biscotti which came with the dessert. Chocolate Mousse Praline Crunch --- My friend loved it. I usually keep distance from dark chocolate desserts. Bottom line: Food was ok for the price of $20 (restaurant week lunch) and there is nothing special that will pull me back. I am not sure if I will return on regular days. read more

3.5 stars. I diligently read every Yelp review before coming here and got all the highest recomended for my meal. With that in mind, here is my feedback: Ambience: great, beautiful, comfortable elegant atmosphere and contemporary glass decorative pendants were impressive. Service: The service was good. Waiter very knowledgeable about all the specials and went into great detail when relaying the options. He also let me sample a decently sized portion of two wines before I selected which white to go with. Meal: Overall, good and well prepared with good flavor. BUT... I'm sitting here salt detoxing right now. Cranberry juice in hand because I feel so disgustingly bloated from too much salt intake Crackers/smoky Nordic dip complimentary appertizer: the best part of the meal in my opinion Lobster Mac: awesome and very, very rich, creamy and filling. The cheese reminded me of grilled cheese. There were lots of chunks of lobster as stated by other reviewers. A worthy consumption of carbs/calories. Flounder: while the soy thai spice on the fish was flavorful, this fish was a TERRIBLE choice for a meal on a first date! I was not alone when I looked around the room and saw many women uncomfortably trying to dissect their large plate of a whole fish. The fish is filled with bones throughout and every time I thought I had a bone-free forkful, I was wrong and had to fish tiny bones out of my mouth repeatedly on my date, or else swallow them, which I'm sure I did for a few. It felt completely awkward and I had to work for my meal. Also, the fish was waaaay too salty on the outer skin. I feel sick now and regret ordering it honestly. Cucumber side salad: again, good but spicy and salty. After dealing with the spicy salty Flounder this was just overwhelming. And not in a good way. Also, every cucumber slice was interconnected in one long strand, which my date discovered, awkwardly while serving himself. Complimentary Fudge chocolate: Very good and had a nice marshmallow piece inside. I was relieved to have a palate cleanser after all the salt. Wine: A NZ white variety that had a strong Welch's like grape taste. Excellent taste. I cant remember the name unfortunately. Sticker shock of meal: Fortunately, I didnt have to pay but I was well aware of the steep cost of the meal, which doesnt increase my opinion of this place read more

I tried PassionFish during the restaurant week for lunch and all I have to say is WOW! Such a great deal, for the amount of food you receive. First off, the bread they bring to your table is delicious with whatever they put in their spread! I chose the spicy salmon roll for my appetizer and it was good, can't complain. My main dish was the crab cake sandwich. This was just okay as the crab cake itself didn't have much flavor, which was a disappointment, however, the aioli that was paired with it made it better. Then for dessert, I did the chocolate deliciousness! It was so creamy and just perfect. In a nutshell, food was great, service was great, ambience is wonderful. I will definitely be going back for lunch/dinner/happy hour! read more

I work in the Town Center, and been here 3 times. Never disappointed. Today was great because we went there on a business lunch and ordered "the big daddy" as an appetizer. It is a combination of raw mussles, oysters, shrimp, lobster tail, crab claws that is delicious! There was something on this platter for everyone, and it was a pretty good icebreaker as well played around with cracking lobster tails, fishing out oysters and enjoying the dish. Would def recommend ordering this for a large group again, or as a dinner item for two people. read more

I've been to Passionfish twice so far. The menu kinda runs all over the place from asian-fushion to New England style Seafood. The space and décor inside is quite trendy and open, but that's to be expected since it's located in Reston Town Center. The food is delicious and a price tag to match the impressive ambiance too. The sushi is good, nicely presented, decent size, just nothing crazy innovate since it's not a true sushi house. The blue crab and corn chowder is so delicious, rich and creamy with tons of flavor and bits of crab. I love thai flavors and curry, so once I read that they have a Thai Red Lobster urry on the menu, I stopped scanning the menu and already knew I wanted that. The red thai curry lobster "claypot" and was not impressive at all. I love curry and spicy food and when you use the word "thai" I assume that it will encompass thai flavors of coconut and chilies and lime, but none of that came though. This is more a mild Americanized-curry tasting dish and definitely not worth the $45 price. A nice touch is that they customize each menu to you for a special occasion, which I love. The last time I was here, we celebrated a friend finishing up his PhD and we purged on everything the entire night, from before dinner drinks, to appetiziers, to more sake and dessert. For just the 2 of us, the bill was over $200 before tip. I don't think I would return again solely that I don't think the food is worth it, but it was definitely worth a try. Passionfish is not the most wallet-friendly restaurant, but with the notable service and atmosphere it is meant to be for a special celebration in a great location. read more

Just started a new job in RTC and my employee took me here for lunch. Great choice! The staff was super friendly! They even poured my starbucks drink into a fresh glass with ice and may have given me a free lemonade refill too! The spicy tuna sushi roll had the right amount of spice and the tuna was very fresh. Also enjoyed the tasty avocado in my tuna tacos. read more

We enjoyed our dinner here very much. The service was excellent. The king pau calamari was fantastic, very fresh and with just the right amount of heat, I had the scallops. Some of the best I have ever had. Just the right dear on the outside, and done perfectly. I finished off with the chocolate mousse. Delicious! Will definitely be going back. read more

Place is amazing. So many delicious items it's hard to start. M - F they serve a "Fast and Fit" for lunch. Always a delicious well-portioned meal for only 18 bucks. So many amazing items on the dinner menu - to name a few: Whole crispy Flounder - can't find flavor like this at your average place. Thai steak salad is phenomenal Ceviche - amazing. Fresh. Huge roasted Peruvian corn kernels. Amazing. SUSHI!! - the best sushi in northern Virginia. I'm a sushi snob (admittedly). If you go to a sushi place and 40% of their rolls have cream cheese - it's a shit place. If you go to a sushi place and they serve imitation crab as their "crab" - it's shit. Passionfish has fresh, creative rolls at a good value - my favorite. Lastly - they have a loyalty program saving repeat customers 7.5% on the entire menu (75 dollar gift card for every 1000 dollars spent). Passionfish gets 5 stars and two thumbs up! read more

I first went here Aug. 2010 for restaurant week and again this week (Jan 2011). The two experiences were vastly different. First time: Hubby ordered the lobster clay pot with sushi for appetizer and a creme brulee, my amazingly wonderful waiter suggested a sockeye salmon that the chef recommended was of amazing quality and it was... and for desert i got the praline mousse crunch. Service was fast despite how busy the restaurant was, the ambiance was great. I couldnt stop raving. the second time was a whole another experience lol! I am usually not at all a complainer and in fact try to go easy on the restaurant given all the stuff that can go wrong... My waitress was quite snooty unlike my previous experience and when I asked what is the chef recommending tonight, she had nothing to offer, she just kept repeating everything is good everything is good. ok... So, my friend and I ordered the exact same meal, blackened red fish, which came after waiting FORTY minutes!!!!! it wasn't bad but not spectacular either, sockeye salmon was not available, I had the ngiri sushi - did not care much for it, I've had better, and I felt the ngiri was very thick - the praline crunch again, no complaints there. Now apart from the 6 out of 10 for the food, while eating my entree i picked up my glass of water, and suddenly the entire bottom just FELL along with the icy water on my white pants (thank god for the spanx I had on, otherwise my underwear would be on full display) i had wet feet, my pants were quite wet from top to bottom, as was my purse (who knew there was so much water in that little glass?!, even the tablecloth was fully wet. well, it took a minute for anyone to come help me, apparently glasses sometimes do that going from hot to cold constantly (well they should 'rest' their glasses after a washing if they know this). They brought me extra linens to help me wipe up, my meal was full of water so they brought me a replacement meal which was literally 1/3 the fish size of the original, but the person who brought it insisted that it goes by weight, but i know that it was NOT the same weight, but i ignored it and proceeded to eat it, however, it was another fish altogether with just black pepper on it, no salt, no other seasoning that makes it blackened red fish. By this point i was extremely annoyed sitting in wet clothes, with the wrong meal, and no sign of a restaurant manager who would even apologize let alone comp my meal, which is the least I expect. I apologized to my waiter and told her this was not my meal and to have it remade and packed up to take home. Two ladies who had been sitting behind me came up and queried as to if my meal was comped or if i received any apology, i told her no and I saw my waitress noticing this conversation. well right after this the gentleman who insisted I received the same fish came by with a whole bag of packed food apologizing and letting me know they made me a fresh meal and they comped my meal for both the water and for making me the wrong meal. I dont know if it was because of the other guests noticing this or this was their intention all along. Either way, I understand things happen, however, the service was very slow, the restaurant was only about half full; I didn't care much for my waitress, the meal did not live up to its price tag or the brand. I don't know if the chef changed or what happened. I know my meal was comped, but I would love to have another really good eating experience, and wouldnt mind paying for it. read more

Had a business luncheon at PF for the 1st time. Service was on point, attentive and accomodating. Too bad I cannot speak for the quality of the food. I heard that Seafood Gumbo was a must have, well, it wasn't. I never had raw oyster in Gumbo before and it was tepid warm. I had Seafood Cobb Salad which was just "ok". Waiter announced that all of their seafood are FRESH and NOT frozen, well if that was the case, they sure did overcook/steamed their seafood before chilling it for their salads. It seems that they like to chop their Romaine lettuce to pieces rather than chunky. My colleague had Thai Steak Salad and it was ALL chopped up, including the Steaks...?!? It looked like Cole Slaw, seriously. For the price, it was more for the services but not for the dishes. I would come back here again because of their ambiance and will give their Asian dishes a try but I will definitely not order what I had in the past. I gave 2 stars for the food that I had and NOT as an overall score. read more

I have been twice. The first time I was underwhelmed and the next time I gave my dad a choice of places and he picked this one. Ugh... I will agree with some prior reviews that service is typically on point and attentive. I will say the 2nd visit - our waitress was less than lackluster but my dad got to hear the waiter at the other table do the great rendition of items (ours did nothing but walk away), so at least he knows what is available. (I should note that the waiter listed all these items and each time the table ordered something, he came back and said "a party has just ordered the last of that" he said it several times. I felt bad for them. Perhaps that is why ours said NOTHING. The other staff - service, bussers, etc. were fantastic. Oh and they sat us next to a window that was FREEZING, our food turned cold. I ordered bourbon (I hate bourbon) to stay warm. I was less concerned with me being cold, but our food would turn cold. So the food, I heard the gumbo was delicious. It was not. It was gross. It was mushy, at best it was warm and I tried it immediately upon delivery so no blaming the window. My father said his was too gross to eat. We both ended up piling tobasco sauce in it, but mostly to amuse ourselves. He said the oyster surprise in it was odd, and it was. I didn't hate it, but if unexpected - can be bad. I had the cioppino - I do not recommend at all. There was very little fish or shellfish in it and what was in it was overcooked, seriously. There was also a ton of saffron. It's a delicate spice and only a little is needed. I had something else the first visit and was underwhelmed. I told my dad to get the whole fried fish and he did and he did like it. I don't hate the place, but for the price, it should taste good. I have not had sushi there so cannot speak to that. I would not go back given a choice. read more

Wowzers... I had the good fortunate to be able to attend a corporate lunch here yesterday. It was a fixed 3 course menu with two choices per course. For an appetizer I chose the crab cake, which was divine. It had a light lemon bearnaise sauce (if I am remembering correctly). I only ate about 3/4 of it because I didn't want to fill up before the main course and dessert! For my main dish I chose the Filet Mignon. It was positively mouthwatering. The quality of the beef was top-notch, cut like butter, and cooked perfectly. I fancy myself a steak connoisseur and the taste was like music to my pallet. Truly perfect! For dessert I chose the creme brulee. Holy cannoli, batman. It was the perfect temperature, consistency, and just melted in my mouth. I had zero to complain about in the food department. The only negative was that the staff kept getting my order wrong and bringing me the 'other' option instead of the one I selected. By itself, this was not enough to lose a full star. If there was the option of giving 4.5 stars I would have. read more

If you are looking for an upscale dining experience in Reston Town Center, PassionFish is your best bet. In recent visits, the service has been attentive and the raw bar and fish selections excellent, particular whatever oysters on a half shell they are serving and the ahi tuna tartare. The sushi rolls are also tasty. The bar at PassionFish also offers a decent selection of draft beers and wines, though in my experience, the martini I had was not particularly dirty and disappointing. The prices at PassionFish are not a great steal, but they are reasonable, especially in light of the local competition. Overall, PassionFish is only barely crossing the 4 star line, and 3.5 would probably be a more accurate rating if that option were available. Nevertheless, I am willing to provide 4 stars in light of the consistently high quality raw bar offerings (after all, I am mostly coming for the seafood), and the friendly service. read more

The food here, at least what my friend and I ate, was nothing to write home about. I came to PassionFish for dinner recently; I ordered the Monkfish, and she ordered the Fisherman's Warf ( I believe that is what it was called). The Monkfish was OK, that is it though......the sauce that they put on top reminded me of cheap spaghetti sauce in flavor and texture.....I was expecting an amazing blast of flavor, based off of the description on the menu, but was disappointed. The dish that my friend ordered looked good, and tasted pretty nice, but there was supposed to be the fish of the day mixed in with the shrimp and mussels......and there was not.......so the dish was a bit lacking in substance. The service and interior of the place were both excellent, I'll give them that......but the food is definitely not worth what we paid. I'll go back and try a lunch special sometime, maybe, but there are plenty of other seafood places around that I'l have to try before going back to this place. read more

For this latest round of Family Food Adventure (FFA) we decided to venture out west to Reston over the weekend and give PassionFish a try. I do want to thank some fellow foodies who recommended this place to me on Twitter. PassionFish is owned by the same trio who own DC Coast; as the name suggest, the specialty here is seafood. Walking in, you can't help but notice the seafood station in the middle of the main dining room. There's also a pretty spectacular glass staircase; the décor is definitely contemporary and makes you feel like you've been whisked out to sea. Settling in, we decided to start off with the big daddy - a seafood tower complete with lobster tails, crab claws, clams, oysters, and shrimp. The seafood was definitely very fresh, and for a group of 6, is was the perfect starter to share. We also ordered 2 specialty sushi rolls based on the waitress' recommendations. Both did not disappoint and the dipping sauces gave the sushi a unique twist. For my entrée, I got the red curry lobster, spicy of course. The waitress even stated that their curry was pretty mild, and being a lover of hot peppers, I had to get it spicy. It would be wrong of me to order a mild curry. It was kind of neat when my dish was brought out. It was a shallow bowl with a cup of rice. Then the waitress brought out a small clay pot that contained the curry and scooped generous helpings over my rice. I liked being served that way. The curry wasn't completely authentic, it was a definite fusion, but the kaffir lime leaves and coconut milk - the 2 most essential curry ingredients in my book - were definitely there. I also liked the pieces of pineapple, which added a nice break from the overall spiciness and added sweetness to the broth. My husband got the whole crispy flounder. The size was enormous; it looked like it was enough to feed a family of 4. As soon as the platter hit the table, all we could smell was the pungent aroma of the fish sauce. One of the best Asian combinations to me is fried fish and fish sauce. The flounder was cooked perfectly and served alongside a cucumber salad. I think I would have traded in the cucumber salad for a big bowl of rice though; that seemed more fitting. I also managed to get a bite of the scallops, pan seared with snow peas, mushrooms and trofie pasta. The scallop was seared perfectly, and along with the bite I had, I was pleasantly surprised to find crunchy bacon pieces. That was a great addition to the creamy milky texture of the scallop. We had ordered a few side items, but the one that stood out to me was the lobster mac n cheese. Who doesn't want a little lobster on a good ole classic comfort food? The butter and cheesiness of the mac n cheese went so well with the sweet and plump chunks of lobster meat. The food here was really good, seafood was very fresh and the entrees had incredible flavors; the price point, however, was a little bit on the steep side. I don't think I'd put this in my regular dining rotation, but it was worth the trip to Reston. As we all polished off the last of the donut holes for dessert, we seemed to be pretty satisfied with dinner and happy with another successful FFA. read more

Yes, it is possible to get good vegetarian food at a seafood place! There is fish in every entree, as one would expect, but the chef will adapt to a vegetarian request. The trick is to order sushi. They have a vegetarian sushi roll that isn't listed on the menu but sounds like it could be very hit-or-miss because, the way it was described, filling could vary depending on what the chef selected. I wanted to know what I was getting so I ordered the tuna roll (hold the tuna) mainly for the spicy sauce that comes with it. The sushi was delicious! A word of caution if you're avoiding fish: there is fish in the cream cheese they set out with the bread. Also an easy fix. We asked for plain butter - easy. My husband had the cod with romesco sauce and seemed happy with it overall but thought the filet was a little small. He did comment that the garlic spinach on the side was the best part of the meal. Good dirty martinis and a nice wine selection, reasonably priced. read more

This is for Happy Hour. $5 menu!! Drinks and food all $5. If you know This place at all you know the food is good. The dishes were great. The fried oysters were simply amazing!

Came here during restaurant week. Took a sickie from work and thought...mm I work hard, I deserve to treat myself to some good food. The deal was $20 per person for lunch with 3 different dishes. I thought that was excellent cos then I could try different things on the menu and so could my husband who also decided to play hokie. We ordered a Po boy, a crab bisque soup, a salad, and a grilled fish. I found the food here good but nothing to rave about. Having traveled the world, I have eaten some seriously fresh fish, this place was just ok. Given that it was lunch time during the week, it was not too crowded and our waiter was attentive. I wouldn't go back as I can find fresher sea food at other restaurants. read more

I went to this place twice, and on my most recent visit last week, I decided to go with their shrimp cocktail and dozen oysters to start. The food seemed fresh, and I don't recall which oysters I got, but they were briny...good briny, where you get a taste of the ocean. What I didn't enjoy too much, perhaps because I had such high expectations; the claypot curry lobster. When a dish doesent taste good, I think its always overpriced and in this case, was no exception...it was close to 50 dollars... As for the service, our server was somewhat young, and you could tell he wasn't too comfortable. It was as if he was trying too hard...over bearing at times. However, I am in favor of those trying rather than not. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I think that I will definitely try this place again. read more

Super meal at PassionFish on Saturday. This was the last stop in a "dine around" dinner and a great way to finish the evening. I have dined many times here (work and play) and the team is always friendly and professional. The Sushi and raw bar are outstanding and the mains are well executed and presented. For a restaurant called PassionFish the steak is always great as well. As a side note the other restaurants in the PassionFoods group that I've dined at are wonderful also. read more

Consistently great. Fresh food (fresh fish entrees, sushi, and deserts), delectable sides, and warm/attentive service. Keep it up Passion Fish! This is what will encourage us to keep coming back. Btw, we stopped dining at couple of other, somewhat upscale restaurants (e.g., Eddie V's and True Food Kitchen). Their quality of food and service has steadily declined. What makes restaurants tick with NoVA residents is CONSISTENCY over a number of years. read more

Everything I've had here has been wonderful and fresh. Service is on point and we love the ambiance

I have now been to Passion Fish twice and this last time I asked myself "why haven't I been coming here more often." Maybe because it is a little pricey, but I think it is worth every penny. Passion Fish is one of the best restaurants in the DC area and for those of us in Western Loudoun County it is nice not to have to drive all the way to DC to get this kind of restaurant experience. We went with a group of 6 of us during restaurant week and on a Friday. We didn't have a reservation and with a party that size during a busy time I thought for sure they would laugh at us and turn us away or we would wait forever. We waited a few minutes and we were seated before our cocktails from the bar were even finished. They had a great special going for restaurant week. App, entree and dessert for $35.10/per person. The variety for the special was great and several people in our group did that. I didn't do the special because dessert is wasted on me and I really was craving a sushi roll that wasn't on the restaurant week list. The sushi roll I had to start was awesome. One of our friends had a few pieces of sushi (that was on special) which were very fresh. I don't eat beets, but my husband had beet salad and said it was amazing. For my entree I had the whole crispy flounder. I think I died and went to heaven. It was cooked perfectly and the little bit I didn't finish, the scavengers at my table devoured after they had eaten their own meals. They also had a great Sake selection and those that know me or follow my reviews know I'm always looking for good Sake. Our waiter was great. He was knowledgable and made great suggestions. He was also attentive without being annoying. We were the last table to leave the restaurant and nobody ever made us feel like we needed to hurry up so the staff could leave. I highly recommend this place and ca hardly wait to go again. read more

I told my LMT, Claudia, that I took my wife out to this joint. Her response was, "Oh, the money." Yes, Claudia...the money. That's really all you need to know about PassionFish- that everything is excellent...and you're paying for it. I had a crab soup, which had a little surprising kick to it that I appreciated. It was actually poured into my bowl by the floor manager. For dinner, I had a shrimp something or another that was again excellent, and my wife had two rounds of sushi. She wouldn't have two rounds if it was just spectacular in taste and presentation. The service is quite fast, I must say, so if you're taking your date out here, make sure you talk quickly or continue your date around neighboring Reston Town Center. You can be in and out in under an hour for dinner. The only down side to this place is a weird painting in a corner of a human-like thing seemingly yelling at you while you eat. Please replace this painting, PassionFish. The rest of the decor is artistic, tasteful, and....money. This is excellent for a date night, but not a place for enjoying every weekend if you're middle class. read more

Simply yummy with an atmosphere. Love this place and the staff that served us. I will definitely go back again.

If you have read my reviews, you know that I am a huge fan of Acadiana, a restaurant owned by the same company as PassionFish. I knew, just by this affiliation, that I was going to enjoy whatever it is I ate here. PassionFish did not disappoint. We arrived a little early for our reservation. Coming from Arlington, we wanted to make sure we weren't late. Since there was still a little time before we were going to be seated we headed to the bar (obvi!).I ordered a caipirinha thinking something sweet would help to hold me over until my meeting with my first dish. Unfortunately, the bartenders were slow and it appeared they were catering to everyone at the bar before they gave us our order. And when I finally got my drink it tasted like he had dropped a couple of limes into a glass of tequila. My expectations for the restaurant, at that point, began to fall. We were seated in the upstairs dining area and were waited on by Steven. The service was amazing. He was patient, the food came out with impeccable timing, and everyone provided the best customer service. The food was just what I expected. It was AMAZING. I had the sushi and my date had the Ahi Tuna Kung Pao. Needless to say, neither one of us had room for dessert. I have no doubt that I will be back here in the near future hoping to eat my way through more of their menu. read more

Get the fish. Enough said. Love this place. Been there three times; always get the fish, it's great. Duh, it's a fish place. read more

The food was just mediocre. This is my second time at this place bc I wasn't sure how I felt about it the first time. The staff was nice, but the food was just overrated to me. I'd come back if I had to, but definitely not my first choice. read more
