Flying Fish or Todd English's bluezoo for good fish?

[DisneyFansInNYC]

Hello: We are going to DW soon and need an ADR for one night of adults only (5 adults). We were in the mood for fish restaurant. I checked the date and both of these have availability. Who has eaten at these recently and can give me a review? Thanks in advance.

It's been several years since we've eaten at FF, but you absolutely cannot go wrong with any of the big 3 at Swan/Dolphin.

bluezoo/Il Mulino/Shula's are hands down 3 of the best restaurants on property.

Bluezoo would be our preference.

For us Bluezoo would be our choice -- always great food and service. We have a booking there for our next trip and it's definitely the one we're most looking forward to.

Bluezoo - be there in about 3 weeks for a date night. Love the Swolphin restaurants, but this will be the first time I'm using the Camp Dolphin (?) thing. Anyone tried it?

Us too - we ate at FF many years ago. We were thinking about Il Mulino also but wanted Seafood this time. Thanks for the advice.

Bluezoo would be our preference.

Thanks!!

Never been to Bluezoo but have been to FF multiple times. I wasn’t a fan of the after refurbishment menu but they have recently added some of their older signature dishes back on the menu. Absolutely amazing and the Boardwalk atmosphere can’t be beat! That’s one thing that is important to me. Not sure about the atmosphere at Bluezoo but we were not impressed with the atmosphere at Il Mulino when we dined there years ago. It seemed too intimate and quiet. DH says it just didn’t seem “fun”.

Yes. The discount was pretty seamless- we just showed our bluezoo receipt to the Camp Dolphin staff and two complimentary hours were credited for two of our kids. We have three kids, so we paid entirely out of pocket for one.

They were in there for more than two hours... I think it was 3+ hours and the staff rounded down to three. The kids liked it. But I do have to say they like Sandcastle Club (closed now I guess) more.

Thank you so much for your response.

Wow those are great pictures - now I am confused. We are staying at the BWI for that part of the trip and we love the atmosphere there. Thanks so much for taking the time to post the pictures.

My vote would be for bluezoo. Just a note, they do not accept the dining plan if that is a factor.

Both are excellent, but I think BlueZoo has a broader array of fish on the menu.

Thank you for the info. We are not on the dining plan. I was happy to see that you can make reservations there.

Just a tip - don't make the reservation through WDW. Use opentable or call the restaurant directly so you don't have to put down a cc hold and be subject to a no-show fee.

Wow - that is a great idea - I will do just that. Thank you for this!!!

Not to mention you generally a much wider choice of seating times!

BlueZoo is so fantastic! My husband and I have had our last three anniversary dinners there, and they have been wonderful. And we received amazing complimentary desserts each time as well!

Thank you so much - that sounds so great. I can't wait to try it.

I forgot that you can do that with the Swan and Dolphin. Thanks.

Good news is you really can't go wrong with either. For me Flying Fish is our favorite, largely because we prefer their menu options. But if you are just a group of adults you may want to consider Blue Zoo as it tends to have less kids in it.
