This is the first time we tried indoor dining here during the COVID era. Everything was good, including a very nice sidecar cocktail, mussels in white wine sauce, and linguine with white clam sauce View all feedback.

What User dislikes about Out of the Blue:
The meal was absolutely overpriced, but it was decent once received. I enjoyed my food, personally. I would, however, stick to the simpler things on the menu (From the fryer and things) as I had a bite of my friend's risotto and it was pretty bland. Overall, a decent experience that was overpriced.

Great vibe and personal service. So nice to be in an authentic restaurant. The food was really yummy and satisfying. We sat indoors but there is also some cute outdoor/covered tables on the square.

This is my family's go to restaurant. We love it, and have spent many special occasions here birthday, retirements, and most recently, my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Per my request, they had a bottle of champagne on the table chilling on ice when we arrived to kick off the night. Service, per usual, was excellent. All of the waitstaff is so attentive and friendly, and are the hardest workers around! And the food was delicious!

Out of the Blue never disappoints and going mid week is a good plan.

Overall, Pampano restaurant in Midtown Manhattan offers delicious and creative Mexican seafood dishes, with the shrimp quesadilla being a standout favorite. The homemade guacamole and fries are fantastic, and the consistency in quality makes it a great choice for lunch or dining with business partners. The ambiance is excellent, especially when sitting outside on the deck. While some reviewers had mixed experiences with service and food at other restaurants, Pampano stands out as a hidden delight with fantastic drinks, ambience, food, and service. The portions are generous and reasonably priced, making it a top choice for delectable seafood dinners. If you are looking for a memorable dining experience with fresh and tasty options, Pampano is definitely worth trying.

My wife ordered salmon and it was delivered raw, we told the waitress and she shoveled it on a small plate and delivered it back to the kitchen, which proceeded to send it out raw again. I came here for the Clam Chowder which tasted liked it came from a can with no flavor.

The food at this restaurant is incredibly delicious and flavorful. One of my favorite dishes is the stuffed squid in white sauce served over pasta. The staff and service are outstanding. My friends...

Pasta is always cooked perfectly. Putenesca is my favorite sauce there. Very good espresso martinis.

The place is delightful and the food delicious. Very accommodating when we made special requests. The owner was amazing. The food is consistent in flavor and freshness. definitely one of the top seafood restaurants in Boston and worth the ride to Davis Sq.

Out of the Blue is always wonderful and is one of our go-to restaurants. The drinks and food are great (we usually get the mushroom marsala, the baked scallops, the sole, and a tiramisu which are all delicious) and the owners are very nice people. The fish is always very good and very fresh. The outdoor patio also feels like eating in Europe.

Fairly decent spot in the Cambridge/Somerville area. On the smaller side so definitely had to squeeze through between chairs. Extremely sweet staff, though the food was probably of middling quality. Still, the spot is good and enjoyable.

A very cool vibe. Great food and pretty good service. We ordered the Sole Francaise, Grilled Cajun Swordfish and home made tiramisu. The sole was fabulous, like a scampi with very tender fish. The tiramisu was fantastic too and had pistachios on it which made it a bit different. It was located in Davis Square which was a neat area.

I enjoyed the seafood at this restaurant. The portions were generous and the prices were fair. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but the service was quick. The restroom was clean. I ordered the baked haddock with vegetables, and the vegetables were so delicious that they could have been a meal on their own. The Caprese salad was tasty and big enough to share between two people. Additionally, the Italian bread had a nice crust.

The food at this restaurant was excellent, particularly the scallops and swordfish which were outstanding. The service was quick and not intrusive. It was a bit noisy, but we were still able to have a conversation without any difficulties. We will definitely be returning.
