Amazing french restaurant in a condo complex overlooking Lake Michigan. Erin our waitress was exceptional. The food was astounding. The wine divine. The problem was how ridiculously loud tables with more than 2 people are. The ceiling is vaulted and the noise ruins the atmosphere. It was also very warm as the sun set as the restaurant has many windows. The maitre de, we were told is the chef/owner’s son. He never smiled when we arrived. Never smiled when we left and thanked him. We were perplexed someone in hospitality, especially related to the owner would not have a more engaging demeanor.

The best place to enjoy a 5 ⭐️ dinner and wine! My wife surprised me for my birthday and was just perfect… I felt like I was enjoying a meal from one of the greatest restaurants in Europe!

It may take some work to get to Blu, getting a reservation and finding a parking place once you arrive. BUT it is worth it! The views of lake Michigan, the service and the food. Outstanding. Duck liver pate with a cherry gele was great. Cucumber salad with kimchee dressing, fresh pea sprouts and chèvre dusted with fennel pollen. My wife had the house special, Duck confit – outstanding and I had the Rack of Lamb and that too was outstanding. Chocolate Potts de crème is the perfect way to finish off a wonder meal.

This is probably one of my top restaurant experiences I’ve ever had (even with the large bill at the end)! Went to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and couldn’t have been happier! Waiter was extremely pleasant & informative. Place is very small, but we made a reservation a few days before to ensure we had a table. The food was absolutely delicious! We got the wagyu beef & Alaska salmon for main course with crab cakes as an appetizer. The crème brulé & chocolate “pot” (basically choc pudding) melted in your mouth!

Its been months since I’ve been there. But in the fairness of full disclosure I have eaten here twice. I do not recommend this establishment as fine dinning. Expensive and hard to get a table yes,but high end French fare it is not. Save your money eat in town or Mari vineyards. Much better selections there. As for the staff. Hit and miss. Some true gems work here, but they are out shined by the pomposity of collage kids hustling a buck. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Chose Blu for our family dinner after our wedding ceremony. We had been to Blu a few times before and wanted it to be our special spot. Everything we ordered was great and the staff is always super friendly. They even helped me with a recipe for my favorite mock-tail, The Designated Hitter.

The service and food and kindness of the staff is just amazing as always. We love the consistency and quality of this wonderful restaurant. We tried the Ahi tuna, gnocchi and smoked whitefish and of course the tater tots for our appetizers. Just light and wonderful. For main courses we tried the white, veal picatta and the halibut. It was so delicious. 5 stars as always! Randy and his wonderful staff will make you always enjoy every minute. Our waitress Lauren was a gem.

Four of us went to celebrate my birthday. They went out of their way to make it special, especially our server Chrissy. I had the sweet breads for my appetizer and is was delectable! Everyone loved their’s as well. I had scallops for my main entrée and they were cooked perfectly! The dessert was excellent as well. The view was beautiful too! I highly recommended this place.

Really wonderful. All of the dishes were made with care, had top ingredients, and were presented beautifully. The setting was spot on. We got lucky being able to get in without a reservation, but don’t plan on the same. This is a small restaurant with exceptional food. Get a reservation for sure.

Wonderful view of the Manitou island and Lake Michigan are topped off by spectacular food and excellent staff. I had Swordfish with shrimp and lobster sauce, hubby had chef’s signature Duck Confit.Crab puff appetizers were just the right start
