  Absolutely love, love, love this place! The atmosphere, the food, the service, all on point!! The food was spectacular 😋 We went after happy hour for our anniversary and things had slowed down so we were lucky enough to meet the owner and she was a delight to conversate with as well! Our waitress was amazing, very sweet and professional, she took to our sense of humor pretty quickly 😆 ❤️ We will definitely return to try more things on the menu!! 5 🌟 🤩

  Updated Review – Bullfish I wanted to update my previous review from 4 to 2 stars because the food, flavors, and even some of the menu communication at Bullfish Kitchen & Bar seem to have changed quite a bit. We've patronized this restaurant since it first opened near LSU campus and continued to support through the relocation and changes. We are not one time diners and are sad we now feel differently about this business. The menu now seems to lean more toward a home-cooked Southern/soul food style rather than the Caribbean-inspired flavors we remember. The oxtails, in particular, are very different. Instead of the rich, deeply seasoned Caribbean-style stew gravy I was expecting, they now taste more like traditional Southern rice and gravy and they were not tender. The menu also indicated it came with a side of beans. When my plate arrived the plate had 3 small beans on it and was told by wait staff that the beans are the "seasoning". If this is the case, do not list it as a side item. There’s nothing wrong with that style of cooking, but it was a noticeable change from what originally made the restaurant stand out to me. I also tried the hamburger, and unfortunately, that was a disappointment. The patty tasted like a commercially manufactured frozen patty rather than a fresh, handmade burger. It had an artificial liquid-smoke flavor that overwhelmed the meat, while the overall seasoning was very bland. For a restaurant, I expected much more from the burger. Another issue is that the restaurant has advertized what appears to be a chef birthday special for several months. Do some folks celebrate their birthday for 6 months, or did their advertizing and having new specials for customers become less of a priority? Seeing an old promotion repeatedly advertised is confusing and, frankly, a little annoying. Even the TVs and energy of the place is different. They would have bright island visuals or videos of the chef and owner cooking in the kitchen on the TVs. Now the TVs are off when we go. There was also an issue with the whole fish listed on the menu. We were aware the fish is served on certain days and we went on a day we knew they should have it from previous visits. There is no clear indication on the menu that the whole fish requires advance ordering. When we attempted to order it, we were told by the wait staff that it wasn't available and that customers are required to call at least one day in advance to order a whole fish. If advance notice is required, that should be clearly stated on the menu so customers know before they sit down and decide what they want to order. I really wanted to love this visit because I previously enjoyed the unique Caribbean influence Bullfish brought to the table. Unfortunately, the food seems to have lost some of that distinctive character, and the menu communication could use some attention as well. I hope Bullfish considers bringing back the bold Caribbean flavors, fresh preparation, and attention to detail that originally made the restaurant memorable. There is definitely potential here, but the current experience doesn't feel quite like the Bullfish I remember.
