We dined here on a Saturday, and were also with our toddler son. Parking is available at the underground garage diagonally opposite the restaurant. We had a reservation so we were almost immediately taken to our table by the hostess. The menu was already placed on the table, and the ambience is quite affluent, to say the least. Even the washrooms were paid attention to. We started off with their alcoholic Berry Martini and a simple non-alcoholic Mojito, both of which were quite tasty. We then ordered the Pumpkin Soup (Soup of the day), the Beet tartare, Zucchini fritters and the Poached Pear salad. Each dish was amazing, and the flavours complemented each other with every bite. For the main, we split the Squash Ravioli. This was the first time I personally had a dish with balsamic vinegar drizzled on top, and it made sense. It was delicious and filling. While we wanted to, time wasn't on our side for dessert. If you're coming here on your own dime, it makes sense if it's for a special occasion. The atmosphere here is quite pleasant, but there was a table where one guy was evidently intoxicated and speaking and swearing loudly. I just wish the staff could actually do something about that. Overall, we still managed to enjoy the meal, and would very much love to visit here for another celebration or milestone.

Went with my boyfriend for our 3rd anniversary. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was delicious (Try the gnocchi with beef cheek ragu!). We went on a Sunday night so we were able to hear live music that perfectly set the mood. Our server was also wonderful and gave us spot-on recommendations on what to eat and how it's served to us. Overall fantastic, we will be back!

Everything was good, but at the end we realize that there was a 5 course menu that we didn’t get offered. We saw the menu at the reception table once we were about to leave. Knowing that there was a 5 course menu, we would have order that. I wish it was offered when we sat down. Other than that service was amazing and food was really good. Our server sit us to a better sitting than our original seating which is near the stairs. He also recommends delicious food!

My hubby and I had our anniversary dinner at Blu. The atmosphere was very romantic and perfect for the occasion. The lights were low and the live music was fantastic- a perfect combination for a romantic dinner. The servers were very pleasant and the meals were delicious. We cleaned our plates, it was that good. We were surprised with dessert on the house to celebrate our anniversary. From the greeter to the bartender we were wished a happy anniversary- they all knew and that made our celebration even more special. Overall, Blu was spectacular!

Absolutely fantastic experience! It’s staff works as a team to ensure you never go unnoticed or in need of anything. Decor was incredibly pleasing. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Food was phenomenal with its presentation/plating. So satisfying! The flavours were incredible. Recommend the beef carpaccio, gnocchi, steak, and chicken. Will be returning from out of town. Couldn’t recommend Blu more! Definitely a fine dining atmosphere as we went unexpectedly and were severely underdressed.
