    Just a LOVELY dining experience. From the elegance of the decor, to the exceptional and friendly wait staff, nothing was left or wanting. The food was really really good. I love that this chef had such knowledge of Italian cuisine and the pairing of food on each plate was perfection. My burrata and beet salad was divine. I had the sweet potato gnocchi - with an incredible pesto sauce. Don't hesitate about this restaurant - make a reservation today!

    The food and service was 10/10. We did the tasting menu for $75 each and it was excellent! Lots of delicious food and very full by the end. They were so ontop of everything, changing out our plates, cutlery and filling up my water. I really appreciate this kind of service standard. The love music was such a nice touch and added to the romantic ambiance. Highly recommend for a date night- will definitely be back!

    This place is a gem, an elegant restaurant that I can go to and enjoy food while still be able to have a conversation with my friends. Highly recommended. The food was beyond delicious, by far the best beef carpaccio I have ate. Lots of options on the menu, we did order many appetizers and salads in addition to the main course so we can experience different plates. Our server Michael is a super star, very passionate about food and service, he recommended many things and even changed a the pasta sauce to make it more delicious. We followed his recommendations and we were so happy and enjoyed everything at Blu Tiramisu was also beyond delicious! 5 stars and above for this place. Will be back for sure.

    Blu Ristorante is easily the most reliable restaurant we have ever dined at. From the well prepared food to the attentive service, it is our first choice when we want fine dining. We do not live downtown, but we gladly travel there to dine at Blu. It is definitely our go-to for special occasions. Blu knows how to make their guests feel special. They have a new menu item of woodfire grilled Arctic Char. It was cooked a perfect medium, so moist and flakey. 😋 We have our next reservation on New Year's Eve. Can hardly wait.

    Hi Ava, we are happy to hear that you has such a great experience dining at Blu. We enjoy celebrating special occasions with our guests and we look forward to seeing you on New Year's Eve!
