    Always excellent. From the wait staff to the management, everyone is friendly, attentive, informative, and engaging. All the food is outstanding. With new menu items ever present, you are sure to be delighted. From the inexperienced sushi “virgin” to the connoisseur, your palette will be delighted every visit. Thank you Jen for entertaining us once again. Your are a beautiful person. Raul our waiter (this time) facilitated a memorable Happy Birthday. If you have never tried sushi, do not “try” some “somewhere”. Go to the best. Give it a try. If you do not like sushi from Blue Sushi Sake Grill, then you will not like it anywhere else. 😉

    We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate my mom's 63rd birthday. Kitty our waitress was unbelievable exceptional 10/10 I hope our appreciation showed in her tip. Thank you kitty again. We arrived and were greeted by absolutely beautiful decor and live soft music. we were seated right away. We did have reservations. Our drinks came out first our appetizers about 10min later. And the portion sizes are perfect, (bigger then usual) reserve has michelin star worthy food and aura but bar and grill prices. We were so very impressed everything was absolutely delicious we ordered the crispy brussel sprouts and lump crab cake for our appetizers. The KC strip, the citrus black cod, and the baked chicken for our meal. It's definitely upscale perfect for just drinks or a date. I look forward to returning.
