I Highly Recommend This Place!.
Blu Restaurant:
I've been at Blu Restaurant for both lunch and dinner. Delicious food, great staff and exemplary service! The bartenders there make the best drinks (especially the mojitos)! Because it's located on the 4th floor, people don't realize the restaurant exists cause it's hidden, but the environment and decor are beautiful! The restaurant is surrounded by glass windows and the view of boston is AMAZING--especially at night! Candles were the perfect touch for dinner cause it really set for a pleasant atmosphere. Also, the restaurant consists of a casual area and a fine dining area so you really don't need to worry about if what you're wearing suits the environment of the restaurant!
Blu Cafe
I haven't tried everything on the menu yet, but for the foods that I have tried they're all yummy! Quick service, friendly staff and great food! Good place to go to if you just want an in and out kind of thing. But if you want to sit and enjoy your food, they have tables as well.
All in all, I've had many wonderful experiences at Blu. That is why I am sharing it with you all! And I should also add that because it's located inside the Sports Club LA, all the food from both the restaurant and cafe are made as healthy as possible! :) I HIGHLY recommend this place!…
Boston's best kept secret!. Wonderful atmosphere, pristine environment, spectacular service and palatable cuisine.
Best Hidden Gem in Boston. Its just a nice restaurant that is hidden in the sports club on the 4th floor, once you find it you won't be dissapointed. This place is great food and really great bartenders that make amazing drink cocktails. Great place for a romantic dinner and with friends!…
Moneyed tourists and freshly-showered workout warriors fill this property in the Ritz-Carlton, Boston Common.. With a modern interior and colorful views of the streets below, Blu provides hotel guests in need of an upscale dining destination with an excuse for not venturing outside. Sharing a floor with the upscale Sports Club/LA, Blu's café area provides the post-workout crowd with a healthy "Look Good, Feel Good" menu. Dining room patrons enjoy artful comfort fare like a lobster club sandwich with pancetta, or maple-roasted monkfish with rice beans in a spicy tomato broth.…
Inedible Food, Rude Management. I know restaurants hate restaurant week because the lowly masses traipse through their shmancy digs, but the folks over at blu have reached a new low. The only excuse we could come up with for the quality of the management and food, was that they were purposefully being rude and serving horrible food so their restaurant week customers wouldn't come back. We ordered an arugula salad which was salty, limp, and had fuzzy peaches and mushy onions. The steak could have been good if they would have provided some sort of instrument with which to cut it, say, I don't know, a steak knife. And the risotto, no kidding, looked like [regurgitation citysearch wont let us use the v word for this medical condition] in a bowl with garnish. It came complete with undigested corn kernels. The chocolate mousse was the best of the three desserts (raspberry shortcake and a caramel flan type dish) though still not incredible. Coffee was cold. The wine was great. Expensive (100 for two half bottles) but good. Which is what kept us in better spirits through the meal. The manager of the restaurant actually came over and yelled at us when we said in passing to our waiter that the salad was salty and none of us wanted to eat it. She told us we didn't have an educated palette and that the food was supposed to taste that way. To her credit, she did offer us one of the other choices on the menu, but she was so mean and aggressive that all we wanted was for her to go away. After the entrees came and we gave those back uneaten as well, we were hoping she wouldn't come back again. We spent $250 for three people to eat during restaurant week. We were served salty fuzzy mushy salad, [regurgitation] in a bowl, and a hunk of meat with no way to cut it. We then got yelled at by management for not liking the food. I don't even treat my dog that way. Save yourself the money and aggravation. You're just going to have to get drive-thru afterwards anyway.…
