   Four of us decided to try this new restaurant. The good, bad and ugly.. The good - Staff was very friendly. Even tough the menu is small, the scallops, fish of the day and pizza were very good. The braised lamb shank was bland (but we are used to more Middle Eastern spicing on lamb). Some of the appetizers looked good, but didn't try them. The craft cocktails were top notch! Recipes (and prices) right from top bars in the US. The bad - expected a make over from the last restaurant tenant. Nope. just re arranged the furniture, and added lots of BLUE lights. The Christmas decor was right out of the dollar store, so made the place look cheap. The ambiance should live up to the quality of the food. The ugly - Be aware! If you use a credit card they will put a 3% surcharge on the bill without telling you!!! Who carries a few hundred in cash? (Yes a few drinks, 2 entrees, coffee and a dessert was $200). We complained and said we would deduct it from the tip, which is not fair to the waitress - who was good. The restaurant did make good, adjusting the bill. Would not go back unless they change their policy. Too many other good places in that part of town.

   It's AIX all over again. Burata and pizza were great. Duck, escargot and mussels were average at best. Bar was slow and drinks were terrible. Not sure if I would go back.

   The service was good. The food lacked flavor. It was presented beautifully but all 4 of the fish dishes we ordered were so overcooked.

   Great experience! Creative cocktails, exceptional service by Thomas and wonderfully delicious appetizers and entrees. We will definitely return again and tell our friends and colleagues about the experience.

   Blue is our new favorite spot, not just in san marco, but jacksonville. The menu is small, yes, but the specials offered at every course make up for that. Often times we just fill up on appetizers, sometimes we opt for a wood fired pizza, or we go with one of their amazing dinner selections. No matter the mood, you can always find what you need. Please leave room for the dessert. In house bakery chef provides fresh made desserts and now baked goods at breakfast. Top all that off with a fabulous team that makes sure you're beyond satisfied. We make a reservation for the following week every time we're there.

   My husband and I were looking for someplace different to have dinner on a Friday night. I heard about a new restaurant called Blue and decided to give it a try. NO REGRETS! Everything from the ambience, to the service and of course the food, was spot on. I recommend trying them.

    Great experience. Even we went during lunch time. The menu was great and the wine list acceptable variety. The server Amy, she was fantastic. Highly recommended
