    Better than the North End. We both got the Frutti de marre. Pasta and lots of fresh seafood! The chacutteri board was one of the best we have had. Wine selection great. Enjoyed a bottle of Borrolo. Making the rez was easy. We were a few minutes late and they sat us right away. Seem very organized with seating people quickly. Nice decor for Christmas. We were able to walk to the Emerson Colonial theater after dinner. It was a 3 min walk. We sat around 5 pm and had an app, dinner, and had time to spare getting to the show. Thank you Maggianos!

    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.

    We were a group of 8, and it was a fun evening. We sat upstairs, which made our boisterous conversation easy to follow as we each sampled a variety of delicious dishes. The tuna tartar and the yuca fries as appetizers were a hit, as were the shorty mash and lamb chops for entrees. The meal was capped with crème brûlée. Leena was super friendly and attentive, and I look forward to a return visit!
