    A giant thank you to our server, Trevor-he was so helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. He made our Thanksgiving extra special! As well, I’d like to commend all of the staff that assisted us: I so appreciated the table we were given-thank you to the hostess for that wonderful, quiet table and the gentleman who was I think part of the bussing team and kindly took a picture for us. Finally, a huge thank you to the chef for the delicious menu! It was a beautiful Thanksgiving and we are so grateful to the Blu on the Hudson team. It was amazing to have such a great dining option on a holiday!

    We always love the food and service at Blue Ribbon. Last night we had the hamachi collar and the seared red snapper -- both absolutely outstanding! We also enjoyed the bean sprouts and watercress salad (warm!!), a favorite, and two of our favorite rolls -- the crunchy tuna and the salmon ikura roll. Terrific service from Nadia, delicious mango sorbet for dessert, and a lovely wine that went great with the meal -- the Rhone. While certain areas in the restaurant can be very noisy, we were in a booth just outside the main dining room and it was perfect. Fantastic meal all around.
