Default Don't go!!

The management and the service are terrible.....DO NOT GO. The manager does not care about the way the food comes out and if the customer likes it or not. Good came out cold and not edible. The manager wouldn't even come out to the table to try and make the meal better. When we complained to the waiter the complaint was ignored. Too many other restaurants in the area to give these people our money. Go somewhere else.

I’ve been to Blufin several times as well as Bonefish and I prefer Bonefish hands down. I drive further to go to Bonefish so I wish I could say Blufin was better. It would save me roughly 40 minutes round trip.

The only way you will know if you like it is to eat there. We think it's much better than Bonefish, but that is only our opinion.

We ate at Havana last night and I had the best NY Strip Steak I have had in a long time and the Lobster Mac and Cheese was great.

What Restaurant are you talking about? I hope it was not Blue Fin.

Love Bluefin. The bacon wrapped scallops are one of our favorites. We were there a week or so ago and the daily special was swordfish. Excellent!

Really like Blue Fin, but Bone Fish is still my favorite. Can’t go wrong at either restaurant!

Depends on what you call “Seafood”. Salmon, shrimp, cold water lobster tails, Grouper, all items served in just about every restaurant in the villages and most of them pretty good. My vote goes the Harry’s in Ocala snd Legacy here in the Villages

Why don’t you take a chance and try it yourself, unless this is going to be your last meal? Are you going to rely on everyone’s “opinion” of what is the BEST? You will be going to ALL of those who say their’s is the best? Why not try YELP reviews, where people give specific examples of their experience?

Perhaps they would like input, as they’ve gotten lots of other recommendations that they would not have known about otherwise.

Lunch at Fisherman's (Rt 44 close to Inverness Fl) yesterday (6/25/2021). White fish for me, clams strips for wife. Food, service, price very good. Bonefish, & Bluefin are also very good, but more upscale and more expensive and have a wider selection. So if you want down home Florida seafood go to Fisherman's. FISHERMANS COVE RESTAURANT - 12311 E. Gulf To Lake Hwy. Inverness, Florida 34450 - 352-637-5888 It doesn't look like much from outside, but don't let that stop you. If you want fancy then Bonefish or Bluefin should be your choice.
