“Excellent restaurant for breakfast & lunch. They do not serve dinner. Ann Marie is a wonderful server who is awesome at her job & is always smiling & makes wonderful recommendations. There is a large & varied menu & we have never had a bad meal in 10 years. Although the ownership changed, the food is better than ever. Nice size portions cooked to perfection. The mimosas vary from week to week; there are several draft beers or try a loaded Bloody Mary or an Aperol Spritz. I highly recommend Blu.

Parking: More than enough spaces.“

“Absolutely Delicious I always order the chicken souvlaki sandwich with the Greek salad. Hubby almost gets the corn beef hash and eggs over medium with their home made potatoes and an English muffin. Hubby says you can't get fresh potatoes like this anywhere. My souvlaki sandwich and Greek salad is always outstanding I love the tzatziki sauce and pita bread so yummy as well as the Greek salad with fresh feta cheese. Service is fast and almost comes with a smiling face. Great prices, great food, great location!
