ON October 7th, our server Brittany was AWESOME, and we will request her in our future visits. Thanks for a great evening, Brittany!“

“Wow! The atmosphere is on point! Great jazz and blu’s experience. We will definitely be back.“

“Celebrated birthday with my mother, very nice atmosphere. The fish is a little dry and the pork belly is a little too fatty when it's served as a whole piece. The sauce of the octopus is very savory and the sauce served with the fish is very refreshing and the miso dish is very perfect“

“I attended a bridal shower today, and this place is absolutely gorgeous! I can't recommend this place enough for your private events!“

“Phenomenal burgers and wings. So flavorful! They put the love in their food❤️“

“Really nice stop for lunch today. To tell you the truth, we were taken back by the small menu selections. The atmosphere is very nice...a wine bar feel. We sat out on the balcony. Again... very nice. The food came out quickly and fresh. It was..... very nice. Get it? It's a very nice place. Nothing outstanding or over and beyond what you'll get elsewhere, but they do things well and the food is good. The prices are maybe a bit high, but you can say that everywhere right now. I had the fish and chips ($25). Lake Erie Walleye with an herbal aoli. It was great, honestly. That walleye dish is an example of why lake erie walleye has such a great reputation. J got the corner smash burger ($19). A double patty cheeseburger with aged cheddar. It was very juicy. The cheese was great. Sauce was very good. A really, good burger. Fries were also pretty good. Coleslaw.... very, very light. The perfect coleslaw for a fish dinner. I'll be honest with you here. I don't like coleslaw. I've never eaten more than a small bite at one time in my life. This was the first coleslaw in my 50+ years that I actually ate and enjoyed the whole thing. Finished every bite. So there's that! Would I go back. Absolutely! We enjoyed it! Would I suggest it to an out of town friend looking for something great and different? Maybe not.“

“The food was wonderful.... from appetizers to desserts! The staff was amazing... not just good service but great recommendations“

“First time to this Italian restaurant. I came on a whim on my Anniversary with my wife and was amazed at how great the food and service was. I live close and never knew about this wonderful place and so glad we found it. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves Italian food. This small gem is truly a special place. Thank you for making our night great“

“Hands down the BEST calamari I’ve had in Ohio. Mixologists were top notch, as were the cocktails. Reasonably priced with an opulent atmosphere. Cannot wait to return 💕“
