Our waitress did a great job. Food was good. Value was above average. We had the last seating for lunch. They needed to turn over the restaurant for dinner. They never rushed us and were very accomodating.

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!
