    A couple items on the menu aren’t correctly identified. They need to clarify the charcuterie to either meats and cheeses or smoked fish platter. Also the restaurant was not full and food took a bit longer than expected. Overall it was very good food and nice ambience.

    The food was delicious as always. We haven’t been in years. Went last minute for my birthday lunch. We had salads & birthday cake & took the milk rolls to go. Those are the best. A must when you go! Four stars because the host was not the best. Slow motion! Our server was excellent! Loved her & her service. She was working hard, I think she had the entire side of the restaurant.

    We love Blue Gold, the food does not disappoint. My only complaint this last visit was the noise level, we could hardly carry on a conversation. I don't remember the volume of the room so loud on previous visits but maybe it was just a lot of celebration dinners this night.

    Food and ambiance is great, but this is the second time I've been to this restaurant where they bring out some of the tables food and then 10-15 minutes later they bring out the rest... the service is SLOW. Our table wanted a second drink but the server did not check on our table for at least a good 30 minutes...I think this restaurant needs some training.

    I brought my mother to this restaurant for a Mother’s Day brunch, and not only was every dish that we ordered incorrectly made or the wrong dish but before we were even able to eat anything the manager (Irving) spilled an entire tray of drinks on me, my mother, and the entire table, and our clothing and bags. After this happened, we chose to leave as the Mother’s Day brunch experience was completely ruined at this point and afterwords the manager refused to give me the name of the owner of the restaurant so I could contact him directly, and explain what a horrible situation this was and how disappointed I was with the manager of the restaurant. I will be contacting whoever I have to, to be reimbursed for the dry cleaning bill for me and my mothers clothing as they were both ruined and soaking wet by the drinks that was spilled on them. I was expecting a much more professional and high dining experience at this restaurant, as I have heard good reviews, and I work in the restaurant business myself, but I can say with complete honesty that this was the worst Mother’s Day that we had ever seen ever celebrated together, and 100% at the fault of this restaurant and its manager.

    BlueGold is SOLID. Best view, best ambiance, best service, best food, and best cocktails. They struggled for a bit when coming back from the COVID-lockdown… but who didn’t? ABSOLUTELY 110% go here and go here ALL the time. Absolutely solid place and EVERYTHING on the menu is good.

    Very poor service, way overpriced. It took forever to get drinks and food. They served my wife a martini with a crack in the glass, one of the steak fork’s had a big piece of the handle missing. Definitely not worth what we paid.

    The food, view and service were amazing. The view alone is worth it! The portions are also a decent size too. The chicken dish had a salad and a large piece of bread with it, burrata pizza was pretty large and the short rib was worth it to share!

    Four of us went for a work dinner. The service was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. We started with cocktails, they were wonderfully balanced and the presentation was beautiful, with unique glassware and pretty decorations. We had the Sea Bass, the Lamb, and the Short Ribs, all of the meals were delicious and again, had the finesse, in presentation, palette, and preparation expected at an upscale restaurant. We followed up with the pear and pecan tarts which were the perfect finish to a wonderful evening.

    Food arrived 1hr after ordering after both our server and a food runner said it was already made our server told us a manager would be coming but no one ever came by. We needed up having to leave so we tried to finish what we could but had to leave the rest behind. Overall just a poor experience with no follow up

    Beautiful location with a promising looking menu. We were excited to try this restaurant since it is in a beautiful location that we often visit and were hoping to add it to our repertoire. We were also scouting places to hold a celebratory brunch with family and friends. I’m sad to say this place greatly disappointed us. The service was awful and the food took forever, we were looking at other patrons and noticed they were all experiencing it too. When our food finally arrived it was not very good. Well, I ordered a burger with no bun (kinda hard to mess up) and I enjoyed it. However, my husband was really hungry and ordered 2 dishes and he thought they were awful. Even our drinks took forever. I ordered a second drink and didn’t receive it until 45 minutes later once we were done eating and ready to leave. Would not recommend.

    We were on time for our reservation, however there was a line out the door Sonny the time we got to the hostess she said we were a no show and they gave our table away. We were then sat in the middle of the restaurant and our server paid very little attention to us. It took forever to get our drinks and then we had to ask for refills of water and our cocktails. We had to flag down our server to order our food. The candle on our table wouldn’t stay lit, so instead of just getting a new one they tried multiple times and then stood at the table to try and light it for a few minutes. Being an anniversary, the experience wasn’t great. The food was amazing, but the service made our visit subpar.

    It was a chilly day for lunch, but our last day in the area and wanted a beach view. Bluegold's location perfectly met our needs in this regard, beautifully overlooking the beach. Our visit was during off-season weekday (Tuesday) and the restaurant was not busy. The staff was attentive and very professional. The food offerings were delicious, and for the area we thought the price was not out of line. The sandwich portions were generous (we took leftover two halves with us); mine was the tuna melt and the other sandwich I don't recall. The only disappointment for me was the Bloody Mary, which lacked flavor and spunk. But, overall, I wouldn't hesitate to visit Bluegold again.
