Unfortunately, my experience echoes much of what other reviewers have already expressed. I found Blowfish's fusion offerings to be very much lost in translation. Dimly-(mood?)-lit with a very modern feel, with wooden tables beautifully burned/carved depicting koi fish, with a very distracting instrumental music blaring in the background. Service and staff seemed very nice. The same cannot be said for much of the food. The "special" rolls, that we thought we'd order to try something that cannot be had elsewhere, were a bizarre application of spice that only served to obscure the flavour of the main protein of the sushi (such is the case with the Red Hot Curry Salmon roll)---I guess to be fair, we weren't sure what to expect (deaddovedonoteat.gif). The nigiri were average at best and uninteresting overall. The only exception was the foie gras tuna for which is probably their saving grace. An interesting decadent bite of rich, fatty, and savoury, the foie gras tuna was worth ordering a second. For me, Blowfish comes across as a sushi-avant-garde-wannabe with a selection that seems to be a collection of ideas that sound good on paper, but should remain on paper. The disparity between the quality of their food and their overall aesthetic is only exacerbated by the accompanying price tag. At this range, I would look elsewhere.
