    Loved how they took care of my partners preferences even after the food was served. Our server made it right by bringing a new dish to her without any issues or shows of displeasure.

    This was not my first time at Blu. I love the food and service. I was very disappointed with the owner who I spoke with in the afternoon to ask about what the cancellation policy was when the weather was reported to be a storm warning. We had the reservation for months and intended to keep it as long as the weather didn’t prevent us from coming from outside the city or being late. I would have thought a loyal client like myself would have been received much better than I was. I was very disappointed and shared my dis’s appointment with my guests.

    Service was the main issue, very harsh and just surprisingly loud and obnoxious. The food is fine, nothing memorable or that our group of 7 would go back for. It's fine though. The service was not cool

    I took my mom out for dinner to celebrate her birthday, and the evening was perfect from start to finish. The live music was great, the food was amazing, and the service was truly exceptional. Thank you to everyone who made this night so special—it was unforgettable!
