   Food was delicious however I wish the portions were bigger. My friend and I enjoyed our girls night out but we’re still hungry after getting an appetizer and sushi.

   The food itself was subpar to adequate.  It took almost an hour to receive our meals. At which time, one of the meals was too cold to eat. The sushi wasn’t great either. The nigiri had to be sent back due to questionable taste. And, the rolls were entirely too small for the price. Plus, the cocktails were only decent at best. However, our server was amazing. Unfortunately, her section seemed to cover almost the entire restaurant. So, while her attitude was great, she was physically unable to provide the level of service of which I suspect she’s capable. We literally saw her serving tables from the outdoor patio at the front of the restaurant to those at the very rear. That’s a ridiculous amount of tables for anyone, especially on a holiday.  Nevertheless, she was an absolute pleasure, and really salvaged the experience as best as anyone could.

   I’ve been here before and it was wonderful. We went again on Mother’s Day and it was awful! It was not that crowded, but the service was so slow. Our food took forever to come out and so did the drinks. My daughter sat in gum, so clearly nobody was cleaning the tables between patrons. Our bill was $166 for 3 adults and 1 child. We had 1 cocktail each, 2 appetizers, 1 salad, 2 grouper Reubens and a kid’s pizza. For the grouper Ruebens we received a piece of fish on overly toasted bread. Just bread and fish- that was it. Not worth it. We won’t be back. The waiter did offer us a free dessert to make up for sandwiches, but we were done.

   I had reservations at 1:45 and arrive around 1:30. I was sat immediately but wasn't greeted until 1:50. My server I believe her name was Flo asked us what we wanted to drink I got a Sangria. When she came back with the drinks I asked for water. The server never got my water after 45 minutes I got up and went to the bar for water. My mom and I ordered appetizers because we were waiting on my sister. My mom ordered a small citrus salad and I ordered tuna Tataki. After an hour passed we still did not have our appetizers, as I was complaining someone walked up with them but I sent the Tataki back because we were ready to order our meals. My mom received the wrong salad but we decided to keep it because we were afraid it would take too long to get something else. We ordered our food around 2:30 and didn't receive it until close to 4p.m. After complaining to the server she didn't give us a discount or take anything off the check. I am a server and there is no way I would have given the check to my guest without accommodating something when I knew they were upset. My mom had a horrible Mother's Day experience and we will nevnevcome.back here again!!!!! Absolutely had a horrible experience

   Dessert was fantastic. We had key lime trifle, crème brûlée, and an Oreo cake. The menu is a little is a little weird, like the restaurant has a bit of an identity crisis. Limited sushi options and yet basically a seafood restaurant. Service was very slow but our waitress was very kind.

    There was no ambiance, looked like an old dive bar inside. Service was extremely slow even though there were maybe 6 people dining. Ordered the crab cakes, they tasted awful. Super bland and even dipping them in the sauce provided didn’t make them taste better. Won’t be returning.

    We went here because we were looking for seafood restaurants in Orlando area . The vibe was energetic and lively and we loved how the restaurant opened up to the sidewalk. We sat toward the back and it was a little quieter which was nice. The food and drinks were great. We had the fontina for an app, it was definitely more than we bargained for i terms of amount of food. My hubs had the grouper and I had the mahi- for my tastes I would have liked a little more seasoning in the pieces of fish. We both had drinks and dessert which were tasty. I would go here again.

    We had a very enjoyable meal during the 2023 Sidewalk Art Sale! There was a chance of rain so we chose to eat inside. My wife had the Fish Tacos and I had the Sea Scallop Risotto. Both were delicious. The sea scallops were large and perfectly cooked. The Chili Cream Sauce was an unexpected treat. My wife had had fish tacos in a couple of restaurants during our stay and the dish she was served at blu was the best. We wish we’d taken a chance and eaten out on the sidewalk. The rest of the restaurant felt a bit sparse. It might have been due to the fact that for a long while we were the only ones in the dining room. Still, bottom line, I’d go back in a minute.

    blu was completely unprepared for the WP Art Festival. They were short staffed and dirty tables were everywhere. Our reservation was for outside but no tables were available that weren't in direct sunshine. When we said we didn't want one in the heat, the server scoffed like our request was out of line. We were told the umbrella was broken only later to see it used. It was St. Patrick's Day and my husband ordered a Guiness-at 1:00 pm, they were out! Waited 45 minutes for our food. Won't be back after going there for the festival and more for many years.

    The staff in this restaurant were so incredibly nice and of great service! The food not only came out rather quickly, it was absolutely delicious and the presentation with stunning. I felt like I was in Europe. The atmosphere is very peaceful and elegant, but not in a stuffy way… In a relaxed and beautiful way. I highly recommend this restaurant for the great service, great food presentation, delicious menu with lots of options and high quality food ingredients.

    I had the lobster roll and it was quite good and my husband the lobster Cobb salad. The salad had a unique presentation and tasted as yummy as it looked. The white sangria I did not care for and drank only a few sips but don’t judge it on my reaction - it’s not unusual for me to dislike a particular mix. I recommend Blu as a pleasant spot with good selection of food

    Food was delicious! We truly enjoyed it specially the scallops with rice risotto yum!!!and my hubby's blu burger was amazing. but our server Christy was not really good of checking her guest. She was barely not around. We had to ask the blonde lady to get us another round of drinks. How I wish I got her name. My husband was not happy that we had to leave and went somewhere. But because we had a bad server my hubby tip her poorly..as a F&B supervisor I know how it goes when it comes to a good server but unfortunately our was not.

    We thought the food was a bit over priced. Our server, Bobbi, was great. Friendly, prompt, and willing to listen to our fake on the food. Seems there are a lot of Florida restaurants who believe some sort of butter sauce taste good or is good for you. Please give the consumer the option of having it on the side. We would like to taste the main ingredient of the meal. For the price it was a bit much for the food and ambiance. It’s a nice place but overpriced.
