   Lamb arrived late and was overcooked. Duck dish wasn't great either. Creme Brule was runny. Beet salad was good. Bread was terrible.

   Amazing ambience with the glass wall and ceiling overlooking the city! Excellent menu and execution. Server was most accommodating to our schedule: we wanted a leisurely dinner before the theater - perfect!

   If you are looking for a great restaurant for a special occasion or dinner before a show, this is a place I would recommend. My husband and I tried Blu for the first time before a show at the Boston Opera House and were very happy. We had a wonderful evening!! Food was excellent, our waiter Val was outstanding, and this was walking distance to the show. What could be better? Thank you Blu for a wonderful evening!!

   I would rate Blu as ok. Went there before the theater with reservations. Staff was excellent and friendly and super attentive. View is perfect. The food however I would rate just ok - a bit pricey I thought for what turned out to be average dinners.

    The server was great. Very knowledgeable, kind, and prompt. The atmosphere was relaxed and had a great view of Boston with the giant windows. I was not impressed with the food unfortunately. The Bolognese pasta (which should be thick) ended up being extremely runny to the point of teetering on soup. My partner was only content with her Statler chicken dish as the sauce was tasty but the chicken was overcooked.

    Thought the place was really and was surprised how good the steak and fries were. My only issue was the racist white lady to our right but that’s not the restaurants faults. Will def come back with friends.

    We had a simple meal of salad with salmon. The salmon was perfectly cooked but plain. The view was lovely for the one of us facing the window. (The tables for two are oriented such that one has their back to the window). Service was excellent not crowded at all.

    We've eaten here several times before (we often go before attending events at the Opera House) and this time the food didn't seems as "fresh" or well prepared as previous times. The chicken on one of the meals was too dry (and salad a bit bland) and the shrimp scamp dish was more of a tired cream sauce than scampi sauce. The scallops and risotto were good, and bolognese was good. But two of four diners were disappointed with their meals given previous fabulous experiences. Maybe the chef had an off night.

    First and foremost, I completely understand that the restaurant industry is short staffed. That being said, do not over book your reservations/restaurant and thus adding extra stress to the kitchen. Our table was ready a half an hour after our reserved reservation. Our dinner last night was just "blah." There was nothing spectacular about the meal except for the view. My Flatbread was burnt. My duck was over cooked as well as my friend's steak. Luckily the bartender knows how to make a drink. Our server was trying her hardest with all of her tables but obviously was behind in certain aspects of hospitality. Alexandro (I think that was his name) cleared our table and was extremely professional. I chose this restaurant because it was close to the Wilber. But, our meal was so not worth the $400 plus gratuity. We will try again but not anytime soon.

    This is a very convenient spot for pre-theater or ballet, nice ambience, but food was just okay, not as elevated as I would expect for this spot.

    The mediocre food was the most important aspect of the evening: warm soup, not hot; tasteless swordfish. It was accompanied by poor service, including lack of ability to understand the waiter, murmuring through his mask, but not understanding our requests, including our food orders. A second waiter came over three times to get the information correct. The only good part of the meal was the very tasty dessert cheesecake, with berry topping. And the coffee was fine. We do n ot plan to return.

    Blu has a balanced and innovative menu, and the service was top notch. The restaurant is several stories above downtown, giving it a view and ambiance that can't be beat. Any sort of special occasion or "just because" meal would work here. If you're seeing a movie or theatrical event nearby, this would be a perfect place to go beforehand. Also recommended for birthdays or anniversaries as the place really gives a meal a special vibe.
