The food was good but the wine selection was just okay. Service was sub par. I was brought a soup I didn’t order and could not eat due to allergies. Even after telling the server, he left it sitting in front of me for another 20 minutes. The drink menu wasn’t cleared taking up valuable space at the small table. The first wine we ordered was not good- seemed like a bottle that had been opened for a while. The server did replace it. Blu does offer convenience when attending a show in the theater district.

Blu is a calm oasis I. A very busy part of town. The tables are well spaced out, the ambience and lighting just perfect for dining and the views are excellent. The food is good and somewhat conventional. But the service is really, really good. Our server, Val was knowledgeable, gentle, unobtrusive and there when we needed him. Rather old school but a rare treat compared to most restaurants in the area. Overall, we had a great experience.

Everything was wonderful! The ambiance is pleasant and the view from the restaurant is beautiful. All the food and drink was phenomenal, some of the best i’ve ever had, and just as delicious as last time we were here. Wonderful flavorful bread, yummy cocktails, and I absolutely love the Three-Cheese Ravioli with pesto and the Mini Bomboloni. I’ll be coming back to this restaurant every time I see a show at the opera house.
