Yellowfin Steak & Fish House, Edgewater Maryland

The food was not good. The shrimp egg rolls were dry - the duck was overcooked and dry - the fettuccine was not seasoned- the steak crab cake was also just blah

I recently dined at Yellowfin Steak and Fish House in Edgewater, MD. The atmosphere was nice, the food was generally flavorful, and both the host and our waiter, Jesús, were pleasant and kind. Unfortunately, I experienced a serious food allergy issue. I informed the waiter at the start that I am allergic to shrimp and ordered the Sea Bass & Scallops. After a few bites, my throat began itching, and I discovered a large piece of shrimp in the dish, it was in the risotto. The receipt later stated that I “did not like” the dish, which was inaccurate. I immediately raised the concern, and the waiter explained that he forgot to inform the kitchen and mentioned he was new. The manager did comp the meal, which I appreciated, but my concern was never about cost—I simply wanted to eat safely and enjoy my uncle's 73rd birthday. I reordered a fish with mashed potatoes and artichokes. By the time it arrived, the rest of the table was nearly finished eating, and the fish was slightly burnt. I chose not to send it back, though the flavor was good. We ordered three appetizers, a bowl of cream of crab soup, and three entrées total, and overall the food was tasty. With that being said, food allergies must always be taken seriously, as this could have been dangerous for someone with a more severe allergy. I recommend that new servers carefully write down orders, fully learn the menu—especially allergens—or be paired with experienced staff. While the food was good, this experience has made me hesitant to return. Additionally, our reservation was not found upon arrival the host told me something like they don't see it on OpenTable.

Overall great experience for my son's birthday- there were 6 of us. The service and ambience and noise level and views were all wonderful. This was my third time there and the food wasn't very fresh on this visit.

They ROCK!!!!

Showed up for our reservation but they decided to close early for Halloween so we didn't get in.

This place is my favorite. Get a window table and enjoy the view of the water!!

There was a bit of miscommunication or misunderstanding with our waitress. My wife ordered the appetizer fried shrimp instead of the entree and they brought her the entree anyway . I ordered a Caesar salad , which is supposed to arrive BEFORE the meal. It didn't. I had to remind her about bringing the salad. The food was delicious and the ambiance was absolutely beautiful.

Good food, excellent drinks and beautiful location!

We recently dined here for the first time due to a special occasion. The service was great. We ordered the tomahawk steak for two. It did not disappoint and was cooked to perfection. It was a little on the pricey side so I was wondering if it was worth the value when we ordered. It came with 4 sides and the portions were a good size so we could easily share. The mushrooms were my favorite and the view was so nice as well. I would come here again for sure!

We booked our anniversary dinner at Yellowfin at 7:00 tonight, 10/12. We arrived shortly before our reservation time and were told that the restaurant/kitchen had closed early (supposedly because of the weather, but it was only lightly raining). Another employee came out and told us there were no reservations for 7:00 p.m. I showed him my reservation in the Open Table app, but he said there was nothing in their system. While we were talking to him, another couple who also had a 7:00 p.m. reservation walked in. Neither of us had gotten a phone call, text, or email to notify us that the reservation had been canceled. The second employee gave us and the other couple business cards with a note on the back for free appetizers and drinks on our next visit, but that does not make up for the ½-hour drive in the rain and ruining our anniversary dinner. Very disappointing, especially since this is one of our favorite restaurants and where we had our rehearsal dinner.
