    Delicious meal, outstanding service (knowledgeable, perfectly timed our entire meal, courteous and warm), the atmosphere and noise level was perfect for a business dinner.

    This was not my first time at Blu. I love the food and service. I was very disappointed with the owner who I spoke with in the afternoon to ask about what the cancellation policy was when the weather was reported to be a storm warning. We had the reservation for months and intended to keep it as long as the weather didn’t prevent us from coming from outside the city or being late. I would have thought a loyal client like myself would have been received much better than I was. I was very disappointed and shared my dis’s appointment with my guests.

    Service was the main issue, very harsh and just surprisingly loud and obnoxious. The food is fine, nothing memorable or that our group of 7 would go back for. It's fine though. The service was not cool

    I took my mom out for dinner to celebrate her birthday, and the evening was perfect from start to finish. The live music was great, the food was amazing, and the service was truly exceptional. Thank you to everyone who made this night so special—it was unforgettable!

    The restaurant arranged a table with several big groups surrounding us. Turns out it is so noisy. Overall, the restaurant is a very good one both on food and services. We have tried the tasting menu. It is worth every dollar

    The fish entree was truly remarkable. The drinks and dessert were also impressive. What didn't belong in this mix were the zucchini fritters, which were tiny rubbery discs with bland sauces. Otherwise perhaps our best meal during our stay in Toronto.
