Never had a philly cheese steak with a toasted bun, definite plus addition tho. Kettle chips were good. Bourbon Bacon Frittata was also worth the trip.

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.

I highly recommend this place. Not only was the food divine, but the service was exquisite. Big shout-out to Brooke, who served us, She was so warm, attentive and genuine, and made us feel so well taken care of. I really hope to come back and dine here again!

We always try to get by here while we are in town. Food & service both have always been amazing! Definitely stop by and check this place out! If you go happen to go by on Sunday, make sure to get the freshly made doughnuts, you will not be disappointed!

I had the whiskey glaze eggs Benedict. Oh my good lord, it was delicious. I never had a better Eggs Benedict in my life. Very friendly, clean yet rustic beach atmosphere. Family kid friendly they give customers actual coloring books. My even very picky daughter loved the little blu and had to order a second side of bacon she loved it so much. Pay cash, and you get 10 percent off per menu.

Very limited seating. Food was okay The bloody Mary was delicious the hash browns undercooked and mushy. It was a hot day and there are no fans outside on the patio

This restaurant is exceptional, it's front of house staff friendly and accommodating. Upon my first visit to Blu Island bistro I ordered the corned beef Benedict. If you order this dish and find yourself not liking it, that simply means that you don't know what good food is. I tried the dishes from others whom I was with, and their food too was exceptional.
