Almost comically good service. The food was fantastic, and everyone I went with was extremely happy. Stunning view too, and the restaurant, through it's reservation policy, kept the restaurant quite and more personal, if I can say that. It was a wonderful dining experience. My only stipulation would be that there are some other absolutely wonderful restaurants in the area that are a little, or a lot, less expensive, so you could argue whether you think Blu is a good value. I usually don't think it's a fair comparison to draw, considering we are talking about different businesses, but these restaurants don't exist in a vacuum, and considering dinner cost over $400, even if it was one of the best meals I've ever had, I think it's fair to mention. Again, the food here was near perfect, the service was probably the best I've seen in a restaurant, and if you order the duck confiet (forgive my spelling if it's wrong) you get a cute little receipt showing how many of the chefs special he's made up to your order. It's little touches like that that make Blu so enjoyable, and frankly special. But I can't say say a cute receipt is worth the price difference. Ultimately, look into it. Budget allowing, this is a must.

Chef Randy is a culinary Einstein. The halibut was a phenomenon. Mushroom/squash soup made feel unworthy. Sweet corn sorbet dessert??!! Who'd a thunk it? But a fantastic surprise.

Amazing view and exceptional service. The food wasn't overly seasoned and instead highlighted the quality of their local ingredients. Great wine selection and quality single malts. I highly recommend a sunset dinner here!

I went for the prefix dinner which was $33 included a soup or a salad an entree which was the Whitefish and a small dessert. They have a very nice selection of wines. They're open White wine selection was very good with two very good french wines. Wish they would have had a sauvignon blanc from New Zealand as well. None-the-less this guy knows how to cook. The only drawback as a European you can never serve an undercooked bean since we call it blue acid which is not good for humans.
