"Holly and Fernando were both very friendly, providing amazing service! Restaurant is spacious and located by the water, giving off a romantic and intimate dining atmosphere! Now onto the main subject of the review, the food: Tuna and salmon tartar 2/5) Beautifully constructed, but not perfectly seasoned nor were it that fresh. The chips were half soggy, which detracted from enjoying the dish. It's decent but not too memorable. Octopus 5/5) Perfectly cooked and seasoned, with a great sauce that provides a creamy and savory finish! Highly recommend! Ribeye 4/5) Perfectly cooked medium rare, but unevenly seasoned, easy fix though with the salt shaker! Rack of Lamb 2/5) Great flavor, but unfortunately undercooked and was overly rare. Definitely need the sauce though, so I recommend coating it with a bit more sauce, for you can see how some pieces didn't have as much sauce nor did the plate have enough to for each of us to dip it. Seafood Risotto 10/5) No, that's not a typo! This is by far one of the best risotto we ever had and will definitely come back for it in the future! The only minor issue is that many of the meats from the mussel and clams fell off, so it was just a bunch of shells. Nonetheless, highly recommend it and you won't regret it! Tuna Florentina 1/5) Definitely one of our least favorite dish, where the tuna is so flavorless and the orecchiette was unevenly cooked, where some pieces were soft and some were hard. Don't recommend this one. Linguine Carbonara 3.75/5) Very rich, creamy, and seasoned well. Didn't taste bad but also wasn't anything too special; can't go wrong with it though! Soft shell crab pasta 4/5) Fun and delicious dish, where the soft shell crab provided a nice contrast in terms of flavor and texture! Pretty good! Overall, things were good but not perfect unfortunately. Location and service were great as it is, but the food can be improved on. However, food came out quick and together, which is a plus! Blue definitely has amazing potential and I have no doubt they'll continue to grow and improve! Hope next time I can give them the 5 stars that I know they are definitely capable of obtaining! Thank you for reading and best of luck! :"
