Top notch sushi! The maki, nigiri and sashimi were all excellent, super fresh fish and nice preparations! Service was very professional although a tad perfunctory and (at least at the part of the bar where we sat) lacked the more typical introductions of the fabulous varieties of fish on the platter being served. The vibe is definitely upscale and chic, and the background music definitely attempts to set that mood for the young crowd with a constantly looping hypnotic techno playlist whose underlying repetitive percussion got real old by the end of the evening. Pricing is upscale as well, but perhaps not out of range for the quality of the fish and the town of Chatham (we spent $150 for the two of us, plus tip, which included an awesome shared appetizer, a Chefs Choice Nigiri sampler, two Maki rolls, and 3 glasses of wine also shared between us). Overall, a top notch sushi experience that is not easily found on Cape, just be prepared to pay for it, and be in the mood for a high-octane kind of vibe. Reservations suggested (although in the off season, there is often seating available at the bar by 8 or 9pm).

The environment and services are very pleasant. However, I expect the quality of the food to be higher. Overall, the dishes are fresh but a bit too salty. I appreciate the seasoning, but the salt level and flavor will make sashimi bland if people ordered them. The waiting time is also long but understandable considering the size of guests. Our burger was overcooked as well - just the bottom part and it’s not a big problem. Our server addressed the issue nicely and quickly. It’s just a noteworthy little incident. The experience is still overall pleasant and I especially appreciate the services. But I do think people can get better entrees from other Italian or American restaurants and sushi/sashimi from other Japanese places.

Completely underwhelming. Could not taste the oysters through the flavorless crumbs. Drinks were not good and at $17 a pop. The haddock was cooked ok, it’s sauce was a bit better and the rice was nice but overall uninteresting. The biggest problem was the tuna. INEDIBLE. The person who ordered it cannot eat raw fish due to a serious health restriction. Due to this she always asks for something like tuna to be cooked through. Usually it’s done quite well so that the fish is still flavorful and not over cooked. Our waitress was very clear that she understood and explained it like that to the kitchen (she was lovely). However, this tuna was horrible. It was like a tough beef steak- unrecognizable. We didn’t complain but were shocked when they saw she hadn’t eaten it yet they didn’t say anything. On top of all that while the servers were all quite lovely there needs to be better training. 3 different people , one after the other , tried to take the salad that was still being eaten and another reached over us while eating to remove an empty glass. Just strange. The second star is because the staff tried, they had the great fish sculpture from the Frying Pan Gallery and the ambiance is decent.

Bluefins Sushi & Sake Bar in Chatham's little town area was a delightful discovery. The Blistered Shishito Peppers were savory and delicious. The Dragon Roll looked amazing, and my wife enjoyed it but found the sushi selections a tad less than overwhelming. The Miso Marinated Atlantic Salmon was cooked perfectly, and the accompanying Okinawa Yam Puree, Yu-Choy, and Yuzu Butter was savory and delicious, and the puree had great flavor. I think I was more impressed than my companion but she has been to a lot of great sushi spots. The service was friendly and attentive. A great spot for a quick dinner in Chatham.

We popped in on a Saturday in late April, ahead of the season and were seated right at the sushi bar (I'd reccomend getting a reservation to make sure you can get in). I'm new to sushi (and I don't like avocado) but I loved everything we got, even with avocado in it! Our waitress was so nice and friendly and gave great recommendations. The sushi chefs were so nice and gave us a few samples and even some mochi at the end (it was sooooo good). Our cocktias were also excellent. My only regret is that I forgot to take pictures of all our food. This is a great place, you have to stop in!

I enjoyed our meal at Bluefins. The restaurant was clean and had a modern look to it. The staff were friendly and the food was not only good but it came out quickly as well. I ordered the toro Nigri, the "Cape Cod Monster", and a Philly roll. All were made well and tasted great! I wasn't a fan of the Martini but I suspect that was more about my preference than the actual cocktail itself. Parking was on street. So it's going to be first come first serve but we were there early in the night so it wasn't an issue at all.
