Reviews for Blu in Boston, MA
In all actuality, at first you think you are paying for the view. But the food was delicious. Ceasar salad with anchovies was... topnotch. Swordfish, chicken and flank steak were all received well. Read more
Everything on the menu screams “safe” and that’s okay. The wine list won’t challenge you, the menu is familiar, and the... portions are hearty enough to quiet even the grumbliest of tourists. The real star of the show is the dramatic view the diningroom boasts, perched above the theater district. Read more
Food was tasty and waitress was nice but male runner who brought out our food was nasty when he tried to put meals in front of... wrong people. We were polite and said that wasn't the correct meal, we were willing to pass around but then he nastily accusedus of switching seats which we hadn't. So bizarre. Read more
Professional service but sub-par, overwrought and poorly executed dishes. Not only that, but there was an elastic band (I'm... assumming from the broccoli) in my dish. Out of 8 diners, we only got 3 "okay" reviews of their dishes. The best thing anyonegot was the Flatbread, which although delicious, doesn't even belong on their supposed fancier-style menu. Overall, verydisappointing and not at all worth the high cost. Read more
Walking into the building I was directed to take the elevator to the fourth floor. It was an easy find and we already made... reservations. There was beautiful fluorescent blue light gliding the outer windows making the mood so calming. The waiter waskind and patient. The bread they provided at the table was delicious. For the main course the pear salad and spinach flatbreadhad so much flavor and happened to be super filling. Even after the restaurant closed, there was no rush on kicking us out. Whatan amazing experience. Read more
I put the one star because of the amazing view. But my priority is always the food. This menu is outdated, underwhelming,... tasteless and overpriced. Not many options and the options given are tired. I got an app with burnt flavored lamb chops, haddockwith sweet and sour sauce and salty polenta fries. I had a salad with burnt flavored beef such a charred flavor. The shrimpscampi was overcooked pasta and a creamy sauce with no flavor. I didn't complain because we are at a beautiful restaurant. Thefood came out so quickly I think it's prepared in advance and plated. But with a beautiful view like that the chef should beinspired to make great food too match. I would definitely not ever come back. Read more
We were looking for a spot for a dinner before a show in Boston. Great place, the staff there were excellent and the food was... great. The steak was better than I've had in some time - luckily, she let me have a bite. Perfect location, a block off bostoncommon and right in the theater district. Read more
Excellent food and service with a romantic atmosphere. Good-sized portions on the entrees. Quite possibly the best... restaurant window views of Boston. Shortribs are amazing. Read more
