    A giant thank you to our server, Trevor-he was so helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. He made our Thanksgiving extra special! As well, I’d like to commend all of the staff that assisted us: I so appreciated the table we were given-thank you to the hostess for that wonderful, quiet table and the gentleman who was I think part of the bussing team and kindly took a picture for us. Finally, a huge thank you to the chef for the delicious menu! It was a beautiful Thanksgiving and we are so grateful to the Blu on the Hudson team. It was amazing to have such a great dining option on a holiday!

    Such a great place.. from the staff to the ambience of the place is absolutely fabulous! My daughter and I enjoyed the food from start to finish and there was plenty to enjoy. I love the music in the background and the idea of a dinner club. Its something different that we don't have in this town and love to see how it changes every week. George and Dominic are always so welcoming and makes us feel comfortable. Wishing you both much success and keep adding more dates .. it's awesome!
