"First time there and I was very impressed. There was something on the menu for everyone including the kids. From stuffed french toast to stuffed chicken breast with risotto. I thought the food had a high quality flair at a reasonable price."

"Despite having really good food, I think Blu Basil suffers by not having a bar, and it lacks something I can't put my finger on. The wait staff seemed awkward. I do hope the restaurant makes it though."

"We used to love blu Basil, but they remodeled and changed the menu. They lost the touch they had that put them apart from the others. They raised the prices and took things out of the dish, such as it's an extra $4 for chicken on a$13 plate of "grown up Mac n cheese". And it used to come with the chicken. My wife's filet mignon only came with fries and no veggie. Sad.... Will not be going back!"

"They have made a lot of changes. Going a little more upscale and adding a bar. Our Entrees were pretty good especially when you consider the price. My favorite thing on the menu is still the Cobb salad. Best blue cheese dressing ever!"
