Beautiful and romantic decor, friendly service, and creative dishes! The food was tasty and there was a wide selection, and although it was slightly pricey, we definitely enjoyed our date here.
EDIT: Many years later and I find myself back here for a company dinner, and it was superb! I really felt the class and elegance of Italian food here, with unique flavours and brilliant presentation

Food was incredible. I’m a vegetarian and I had the 5 course menu. Servers were great, and the place is beautiful. One of my new favorites for sure.

Service was great. Beef carpaccio appetizer was excellent. Entrees were disappointing.

Second time at Blu. Was on the patio the first time and in the dining room the second. 10 out of 10 experience, variety, service and quality. Can't wait to visit the new location on King.

We went to Blu on Avenue Road for our 3rd anniversary dinner and had a quiet romantic table on the ground floor. Staff went out of their way to explain the menu and our choices. It was clear that they were very loyal and loved their jobs and the place. They did give us some quiet time too. Then we were told the restaurant was about to close because of a huge rent increase at their lease renewal. We hope the new location opening on King Street West will come close to the beautiful spacious building on Avenue Road. Even if it does not we will be there because the food and service is so good. We each had an amazing scallop appetizer and we were glad we did not split it and had our own. For main courses the pasta, lamb and beef tenderloin were cooked to perfection. We were too full for ordering dessert but they brought a tiramisu to share and we were able to finish before leaving happy. We can't wait to return to the new location in May.

Great experience overall. We have been to blu several times. We are sad to hear that they are moving to King Street ( Theater district ) we will check them out at the new location. Great service and amazing food!

I made a reservation in advance, eagerly anticipating a wonderful Valentine's Day dinner featuring a special five-course menu. I even starved myself all day to fully enjoy this exquisite experience. However, I was taken aback when the manager informed me that the offer was no longer valid and presented us with the regular menu. Feeling frustrated, I called the manager to express my excitement about the reservation and showed him my booking confirmation through the OpenTable app. Thankfully, he acknowledged the issue, mentioning a glitch in the system, and approved my request since I had pre-paid my reservation. While I felt somewhat undervalued initially, the situation improved, and I was ultimately able to enjoy the five-course meal. The food was delicious, and the cocktails were fantastic. I truly appreciated the romantic atmosphere the restaurant provided. Thank you for a memorable evening filled with delightful food and drinks!

My experience was breathtaking, I felt like I was treated like a princess - being pregnant they took care of me like I was their family. The service was phenomenal, Micheal made our Valentine's Day one we will never forgot. All your staff had amazing service and the food was absolutely amazing I didn't want it to end. We are very sad you are moving but wanted to let you know we will definitely be visiting your new place in May. Thank you so much again. You have a great team.

Culinary artistry! Uncharacteristically, service was a bit slow (Valentines day special dinner). We didn't complain, but they knew and didn't charge us for wine...

Brian was our server, he was amazing. Very Caring he made us feel comfortable and we enjoyed. Food was delicious 😋 just a bit pricy

First time trying it. Went for Valentine's Day and for the live music. Very happy with everything. Music was great and dining was fantastic. Service was friendly and accommodating. The portions were good enough where there were no leftovers but we weren't overly stuffed. I had the Beef Carpaccio and the Osso Buco. Both were delicious. I would definitely go again. Its hard to find a fine dining restaurant with live jazz or any other music. Most are Trendy hipster bars. The singer was really good, I don't know his name but we enjoyed it. Wish I could find a female Jazz singer in a fine dining atmosphere.

Food and service are both very good. We enjoyed our evening there and will definitely go back again.

It was a beautiful place, service was great and staff very friendly. Appetizers were good too, however main course and pasta were terrible
