I have been going to Blowfish since it opened. It has always been my go to for special occasions and I am a big fan of the EBI shooter. My husband frequents Blowfish regularity with clients for dinner and lunch. In the past, the service has been exceptional at both locations. I chose to go to the king street location for my birthday tonight with my husband. The front desk person was not very inviting and not accommodating. I had requested a seat near the window. She made a big deal and reluctantly seated us by the window after I promised we would be gone by 8:30pm. At this point, I almost wanted to leave. The waitress was pleasant enough but served us our drinks came back and took the empty glasses without asking us if we wanted another one. She needs to dress appropriately when serving customers in an upscale restaurant. She had huge noticeable stains on her black dress. It was very distracting and unappetizing. My husband had called ahead and requested a special dessert to celebrate my birthday. We were given a dessert menu. At this point, we were fed up and left at 8pm (reservation was for 7pm.) I just wanted to get the hell out of there.
I will not be coming back and my husband will not be taking his clients here. There are plenty of restaurants that appreciate repeat customers and know how to treat people willing to spend big $$$ for quality food and service.
