A 60th birthday lunch/dinner celebration for party of 6. Reservation was for 1pm & we ordered from dinner menu. The lobster bites appetizer ordered was enough for each to try - all enjoyed the flavor & sauce provided. We had 1 filet ordered (tasted wonderful) 2 ordered the crab cakes -delish! 2 ordered the salmon - wonderfully prepared and 1 ordered the filet tips - this was served with gravy that was a slightly salty tasting & the tips had gristle pieces making almost 1/2 of them too chewy. Overall a nice place but noisy on the inside (our 1st visit). We will return in better weather & when we can eat outside.

We celebrated a family birthday at Blue Drum and had a great evening. Food was delicious and the salted caramel apple martini is definitely a go to! Ryder was our server and he’s the BEST!!!

My family and I came to bluedrum for lunch one day. it was awesome! We had Hailey as our server, and she’s great! Checked in on us enough, was super polite, and answered any and all questions we had for her. Food was great, and it’s a beautiful view!

I wasn't a fan 6 months ago but I think there was a change in management. It seems to run a lot smoother. Happy hour food you get a great portion for a great price and its all good. Never go wrong with $2 Mimosa and great Bloody Mary's for Sunday brunch! I would recommend adding more omelet options to the brunch menu. The new bartender Megan is fast and friendly, always has a smile on her face!!

What a gem. This place has great food, service, views, and weekly/daily specials. Angel, our server was very friendly and provided great recommendations. She-crab soup and Mahi were fantastic. Will definitely be back in the future.
P.S. the kids meals shrimp and fish are a great value with great food.

We arrived on Saturday, Nov. 8 with 10 people just after 1 pm. Only half the restaurant was being occupied. The young hostess said they had notjing for 10. I asked about splitting the group into a table of 6 and one with 4. Again she said they had nothing. We could see half the seating at the restaurant was not in use with several open takes We decided we would sit at the outside bar and were told by the hostess the bar area was fine. As we headed to sit outside, the inside bar tender told us that area was closed and we could not sit there. Clearly the staff did not want the business. I’m not sure where the manager was, but this was not a welcoming restaurant. So I cannot rate the food as we went elsewhere, but I can say some of the staff needs training in customer service. I also know that 10 locals won’t be recommending this restaurant to anyone.

If you wanna wait 30 minutes for a drink.. then this is your place. I blame management for the place being way understaffed.
