The Blu Crete Bistro has a beautifully decorated dining area. It’s clean and open and spacious and has a peaceful vibe. No loud music blasting. Just a nice level . The service was excellent and friendly. I ordered the chicken piccata and it was very good. Thank you everyone 🙂 I recommend it!

The food here is excellent. Made to order so small changes are happily accommodated. Many interesting specials each time. The service is always attentive. It’s not noisy and decorated nicely. It’s one of our “go to” restaurants and it’s always consistently excellent. It’s a BYO as well.

We had a fantastic culinary experience at Blu Crete this weekend. The food, atmosphere and staff did not disappoint. It’s a BYOB which is always a plus! Wonderful selection of entrees and nightly specials. And the tartufo was excellent. Definitely add this restaurant to your dinner (or lunch) destination.

Just had take out. Could not have been more disappointed. Calamari looked like 1/3 of an order greasy and more peppers than calamari. Grilled shrimp and sautéed spinach. No way those THREE YES ONLY THREE shrimp were grilled. There would be grill marks? Oh by the way they charged $17 for 3 shrimp and a few pieces of spinach. First time ordering from here will not be back.

Our family and another family from town met at the Blu Crete Bistro. Nick and his son Eddie took great care of us, from the time the reservations were made until the last sip of coffee. They made very sure we were all comfortable and happy. The food was delicious, and there were many great choices. I particularly enjoyed the broccoli rabe that came with the octopus appetizer. Rabe can be tricky to cook at home, as it can be tough and bitter-and this was prepared to perfection with capers and olives and garlic. Great music, loved the atmosphere. There was outdoor seating but we opted to stay inside. Very happy with the entire experience and we will be returning for another great meal! Thank you to Nick and Eddie!! We had a fun evening!!!!

Our office had a wonderful experience at Blu Crete for our annual holiday party in December. As soon as we walked in, Nick and his staff welcomed us and immediately brought out our appetizer platters. Their attentiveness to service was great, from keeping our wine glasses full to removing and replacing plates and silverware without feeling rushed to finish. The lunch entrees were reasonably sized and had a nice presentation and great flavor. We look forward to returning next year!

Tried Blu Crete for the first time for dinner tonight and it was excellent! We had the escargot and it was tender and tasty. Also had the Organic Chicken with Risotto and Tagliatelle Bolognese. Dinner was served with a Foccacia type bread and fresh marinara sauce which was so fresh.

Very unprofessional customer service. I sat down at one of the metal tables on the sidewalk and was yelled at by who I believe was the owner or manager. I politely apologized and got up. I didn’t realize those table were part of the restaurant especially since they were closed. Either way not a smart businesses move to be that aggressive with potential customers.
