    Absolutely loved our evening at Blu Ristorante! The atmosphere was elegant yet cozy, and the live music added the perfect touch. My friend and I had an incredible meal. Everything from the appetizers to dessert was beautifully presented and full of flavour. The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. A perfect spot for a relaxing night out. Definitely coming back!

    After a nearby restaurant failed to make accommodations for my food allergies, Blu welcomed us with open arms. Every thing we ate and drank was incredible- we had the pre theatre tasting menu. The ambiance is gorgeous and the service is exceptional! We will definitely be back!

    I took my mom to Blu for her birthday and everything about the evening was perfect. We had the 5-course tasting menu, and every dish was amazing. The service was excellent as always! We used to visit the old Yorkville location, so it was great to check out the new spot on King since they relocated. Big thanks to the whole team for making the night so special. We’ll definitely be back!

    Second time at Blu. Was on the patio the first time and in the dining room the second. 10 out of 10 experience, variety, service and quality. Can’t wait to visit the new location on King.
