I did have a table outside on the patio, which was fine, but not sure why they sent me at a four top when it was just myself and my son with me when there was a two top open that wasn't in the blaring sun. And the whole time I sat there eating my dinner that two top remained empty. The Mater D when the hostess went to go bring us to our table said don't forget to hold that other table for so-and-so. And he did not come until we were ready to leave to ask how everything was otherwise he was absent.The food was good. I don't think the ribeye was worth $80. The noise from the beer garden downstairs was a little overpowering for that type of restaurant. Also when I was done with my dinner that beer garden downstairs is disgusting. There were cobwebs in the bathroom and not understanding how they can have that type of establishment downstairs with that upscale restaurant upstairs. The dinner was OK, but I wouldn't go back and pay those prices for that food ever again. I might sit downstairs at the beer garden and have a pizza.

I have been coming for years and the food is always great as usual the service. New menu items were good to see and they came out hot and were delicious. From appetizers to dessert we had no complaints

We have visited the Blu Grotto at least 12 times. The food is always excellent. Especially like the happy hours with $2 oysters. One thing I would like is more fish appetizers and fish dishes like those offered at 2nd Jetty.

We have been to this restaurant several times and it does not disappoint. Though the menu is not extensive, everything is always delicious and perfectly prepared to individual tastes. The calamari was especially delicious, prepared with an Asian sauce and the burrata fritti was also excellent. I loved the pappardelle bolognese and my husband felt the gnocchi was very authentic. No room in our stomachs for dessert but there's always next time.

We had an amazing time- we even got to chat with the staff about racehorses (my husband's favorite subject). The food was excellent and I loved all the decor. It was our first time there and we will certainly be back!

First time at Blu Grotto and it was great! I had the Ricotta Gnocchi and it's the best Gnocchi I've had since being in Italy, light, melts in your mouth, the speck goes well with the truffle sauce. My wife had the Shrimp Scampi Linguine which was also very good. Caesar Salad was also good. The space is open and airy with a lot of light. Service was great. Highly recommend!
