    We ordered the salmon en nogada, sea bass, oysters and cocktails. The salmon was amazing. My friend was underwhelmed with the sea bass. Our entrees arrived just minutes after our oysters arrived, which should have arrived later. I was not asked if I wanted another cocktail until I was on my last sip and entree finished. The live music was great though speaker turned slightly too loud. I think this restaurant needs some fine tuning in service, timing of service and coursing out a meal and that will improve overall experience and will help them sell more cocktails, appetizers and desserts. I will return.

    Such a cute place to go on a date, by yourself or with friends. Live music was so so good! All the staff very friendly and the food was really amazing. The ceviche was a bit spicer than excepted but couldn’t stop eating it. Would recommend the vodka mango cocktail and shrimp and calamari! Definitely going to go back

    Food is great. Very tasty. We like to go to seafood restaurants and compare. Blu Crab cakes and the Lobsters Pasta. Very good and big portions. So, food is good. Also, they have a live music, the singer. Which is great. But, what we didn't like is noise around. This restaurant is designed with hard surfaces and open spaces that amplify noise, making them feel excessively loud. It's hard to relax.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our first experience at Blu. The ambiance was giving Tulum vibes - nice and relaxing yet beachy and modern. Juan Carlos was the live musician and he was phenomenal. We enjoyed our drinks - a spicy marg & a moscow mule. I highly recommend the Chilean sea bass and Lobster risotto. For dessert we had churros, and I’ve never liked churros before but dang these ones were chocolate filled and came with ice cream. Definitely would order again. The only downfall to our night was that our waitress forgot to submit our appetizer (Tuna Tartare) so it never came. Big bummer but that doesn’t take away from the restaurant. We can’t wait to visit again soon!

    They were out of our favorite meal. We asked if they could substitute shrimp for Rockfish since they were out. Chef said we would have to wait an extra 20 minutes to make different meal. We ordered something else instead and it took over 30mins to get to our table. They played a drum beat like a dance club over and over and over again. Very loud for dinner music. Drinks were good. We will try again.
