The Blue Fish Restaurant

The river view does a lot of the heavy lifting here, and the wine list follows the same logic — it looks good at first glance, leans into crowd-pleasing names, and doesn't ask too much of you. Fifty labels sounds like a real list until you realize it's mostly the same familiar faces you'd find at any upscale chain seafood spot from Jacksonville to San Diego.

California dominates, with Napa cab and Chardonnay anchoring the list in the way that feels safe rather than inspired. There's a token New Zealand section — hello, Kim Crawford — and some Italian representation via Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio, which tells you everything you need to know about the ambition level. To be fair, these are genuinely seafood-friendly wines, so the selections aren't wrong, just predictable. What's missing is any sense of curiosity: no coastal whites from Spain or France, no grower Champagne, nothing that makes you lean across the table and say "you have to try this."

Eight pours by the glass is a reasonable count for a restaurant of this size, running $10–$16, and the options track exactly with what's on the bottle list — familiar names, safe choices. There's no evidence of any rotation or curated program keeping things fresh; what's on today is almost certainly what was on six months ago.
