    Kaycee was absolutely delightful and made our first experience very pleasant. We will most certainly be back when we return to Chicago. The rest of the staff was very nice including the hostess that volunteered to take our photo to commentate the day! Great experience!

    Blue Sushi Sake Grill has the best sushi maki rolls; especially vegetarian and vegan options. Every single option we ordered was beautifully presented and delicious. We also ordered Brussels sprouts and wontons as starters and they were phenomenal. My only negative was the noise level but it seems almost impossible nowadays to find quiet restaurants where one can hear each other speak. The server was excellent.

    why allow me to make a reso at 11 for breakfast if your breakfast menu isn’t available at 11? I came for the breakfast menu, not lunch. Extremely disappointed. The food was good but it wasn’t what I wanted. The service was excellent, but again, I came for breakfast not lunch…with one vegetarian/pescatarian breakfast option. That’s the first and last time I come in.
