Amazing! Mary was wonderful, very knowledgeable and kind. The food is SPECTACULAR, honestly the best meal and deserts we have had in a long time. The chef was so accommodating for gluten and dairy intolerance, and no one had to skip a course due to their preparedness. A truly wonderful experience from start to finish

Amazing 🤩 - best meal out we have had since Covid. For the past few years my wife and I have been so disappointed by meals out in virtually every category. We went to Blu with mid expectations due to this , just hoping for a decent meal while in Glen Arbor. We were absolutely blown away and so impressed by everything from the olives appetizer to the bisque and salad, the salmon and wagyu and don’t even get me started about the pear šŸ my wife had and the pineapple upside down cake. A class act and we can’t wait to be back next year. Great job!!!

This was an absolutely stellar date night out for us. The venue is absolutely beautiful, lovely views of the sunset over the lake. Great beverage and wine list. The menu selections were a blend of classics and unique items and well executed, prepared to perfection. Our server was wonderful and I just can’t recommend this gem enough !

We celebrated our anniversary at Blu in October. We started with the crab puffs and for entrees had the Walleye and the Duck. Everything was beyond our expectations.

We loved Blu! Went right before sunset and had the most incredible view by the window. The food and service were both excellent and the flavors were outstanding!

We had a wonderful experience at Blu. The service and setting were exceptional. We had a party of 6 friends. We all enjoyed our meals. The standout dishes were the crab puffs, whitefish, and duck. We have wanted to visit for a long time. I am so glad we did.

My husband and I love the Glen Arbor area and always have difficultly finding restaurants that will accommodate my vegan diet. Blu was able to do so! The mushroom rissoto was excellent and all the appetizers we had were able to be modified to be vegan. I am very grateful that I was able to enjoy a meal, and my husband enjoyed his steak! Nick was very helpful in making sure I was accommodated.

Atmosphere is nice with Lake Michigan in the background, but decor is a bit dated/country club like. We were the youngest in the dining room - but could also be due to our early reservation.

Overall, we will likely visit again when we come back to Glen Arbor next summer! :)

Highly recommend for Gluten Free folks looking for excellent service. The waitress was so accommodating and helpful. She talked with the chef to make sure the dish I wanted would be safe. Plus the food was delicious- I highly recommend the duck!

Beautiful setting as well.

Light and airy atmosphere with high ceilings and skylights, this beautiful place on Lake Michigan serves up exquisite dishes of delicious food! I had salad and the gnocchi and shrimp appetizer, which was wonderful. My husband ordered the duck, which he loved. The flour-less chocolate cake for dessert was amazing. Our waitress was fabulous!

This place has fantastic food, great drinks and wine list. My husband had duck confit, I had the salmon with shrimp and risotto. Try the crab puffs and fried green tomatoes. Morgan made it happen with a lakeside view for our anniversary.

My wife and I enjoyed an anniversary dinner at Blu last month. The view of the lake was wonderful, the ambiance was subdued, and the food and service were both very good. But having tried three appetizers, two salads, and two mains, we also came away feeling that none of the dishes were particularly memorable.

Are you in northern Michigan and thinking of celebrating a birthday or anniversary at Blu? I can recommend it without reservation. Expect a very good experience that falls a bit short of best of the best.

I wish I had taken pictures but quite honestly I was just impressed from the moment we started our dinner! Our appetizer of the duck Pate was absolutely amazingly delicious! I had fried green tomatoes. My husband had the salmon with risotto. Everything was excellent! I personally felt that the portions were generous for an upscale dinner experience. We were celebrating our anniversary and they made it very special for us. We will definitely go back there if we are in the area again and definitely recommend!

We chose to Blu for our 44th anniversary dinner location. It couldn't have been more perfect in every way.

We had an incredible time at Blu for a graduation celebration! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. I had the fish option for dinner, and my husband had the wild boar. Both were prepared with perfection. The menus change daily, so there’s always something new to try.
