    We always choose Blu when we are attending the ballet or other cultural events in the area. The food is exceptionally well prepared and presented tastefully. On this last visit, our server Vell, was a model for what I think a server should be: pleasantly personable and attentive but not overbearing. We always look forward to our time at Blu.

    First time dining at Blu and it was a nice experience. The service was slow, they seemed understaffed because it was not overly busy when we were there. The food was very tasty, but it was overpriced (maybe not for Boston standards). My husband got the scallop entree and it only had three scallops, along with 3 shrimp for $48. Drinks were moderately priced and good. If I were to go again, I’d likely just go to sit at the bar and have a drink.

    Great meal as usual. Some menu changes that are my favorites are disappointing: duck no longer on the menu and the lobster risotto is no longer paired with the scallops.

    Always a great place well above the traffic on the street below. The level of activitity varies greatly from day to day depending on shows in the theater district. The menu is very varied and is sure to have something to please everyone. Service was excellent, just the right pace of a business dinner.

    Val was out server and he was great. He was always on top of things. The pumpkin soup was amazing. The 3 cheese ravioli was delicious . The Caesar salad was a little blah but certainly didn’t ruin the dinner. The view is incredible. I’ll definitely go back!

    Great location near theatres. Perfect for apps and drinks (or entrees) before a show. Butternut Squash soup was excellent! Waiter/ service was also good.
