Blu Restaurant & Bar

Blu is located right in downtown Boston with a great view of the theater. It was a bit strange taking the elevator up and seeing an equinox gym as soon as you get off, Blu also has a cafe type lounge for grabbing food on the go that you walk through to get to the main dining area. My grilled swordfish was cooked perfectly, and my spicy tequila drink was so good I got another. Our server was very attentive, polite, and friendly. Overall a great spot to go to for a date night in town or with people who are visiting.

This place wasn't bad and I would have rated it three stars if the prices were more in line with what you get. The good: the view is nice. The ambiance with the blue lights is fun. The Caprese Salad is good, fresh burrata. The scallops were really good. The Braised Short Rib Rigatoni was good. The not so good: the Caprese was not $19 good, nor was the Rigatoni $33 good. My Manhattan was watery and $19 despite the fact that they have the Bourbon I asked for it to be made with on the menu for $14. I guess the vermouth and water was $5?!?We arrived on time for our 5:30 reservation but nobody was at the host station. I walked back to find the place empty but for two servers standing by the bar looking at their phones. Overall the service was fine. I debated giving this place three stars because overall it was OK, but for the price, it should have been much better. When I get a $19 Manhattan, it better be fantastic; watery and $19 is two stars.

The restaurant is excellent, offering a pleasant ambiance. The waitstaff was attentive, polite, and professional. Our dining experience was delightful, savoring dishes such as the honey-glazed salmon, duck, cauliflower popcorn, and blue tapas - all of which were delicious. I look forward to revisiting this spot when I return to Boston.

I went out to dinner here with several friends before we went to see The Nutcracker. The restaurant is somewhat difficult to find- it is located at Equinox, in the Ritz Carlton (on the fourth floor). It took me several frustrating minutes to find the door. Once I finally did find the door, I took the escalator up to the restaurant. I was immediately seated once I got there, and our table had a great view of Washington Street. The rest of my party was somewhat belated in getting to the restaurant, but luckily Blu serves complimentary bread/rolls, which were quite tasty.I ordered the Vegan Feast, with the bread pudding for dessert. The vegan feast was delicious! The butternut squash, sautéed kale, grilled zucchini, and quinoa were covered in a scrumptious cilantro-sunflower pesto. Even if you aren't vegan/vegetarian, I recommend trying the vegan feast! The bread pudding was warm and dense, but not dry. If you are in the area/want somewhere to eat before going to the ballet, I recommend giving Blu a try!

Beautiful evening view from this 4th floor restaurant. We chose the Duck (very tender) and Scallops (with lobster risotto...phenomenal!) for this romantic dinner. Excellent cocktails. For desert, New York cheesecake in a white chocolate shell! Our server was attentive without hovering.

Great views of the theater district.. and if that's all you care about, this is the place for you. Other than that, don't waste your money.

The food is amazing and the service immaculate! The seating is a full glass view over Avery Street!

I was looking for a restaurant not far from my hotel so I didn't have to drive or walk too far to get there. I found Blù which is located in the Ritz-Carlton hotel so that was even better.Our table faced Washington Street and the Paramount theater. The view was stunning and when it got dark, the Paramount theater and all its lights make you feel like you were in Time Square.The menu was full of delicious choices which made it hard for us to pick our meals. We decided on salads, and for entrees, we had the grill sword fish with asparagus, I substituted my lobster mashed potatoes for a lobster risotto, my husband kept his dish as it was. My salad had fried goat meat balls which were si good that I asked to to have more as a side dish.For drinks we had a white Sangria (wouldn't recommend it) and for dessert, a delicious bread pudding with salted caramel ice cream... simply delicious. We made it back to our room stuffed but very satisfied.

Came here before we saw the nutcracker. The ambiance is beautiful. We were a party of six and they seated us in what almost felt like a private room with a beautiful chandelier. I ordered the herb roasted cod, my brother had the diver sea scallops, and my son had the salmon. The sea scallops and salmon were amazing. They were kind enough to let me try their dishes. My cod lacked seasoning but was okay. I would definitely recommend the sea scallops. The lobster risotto was YUM. Service was impeccable. You could not beat the view as it overlooked the theater district. I would definitely come back the next time we go to see a show.

Food was fine, services was fine, dining experience was fine. Nothing special to support the higher pricing.
