    Our sever Liam was amazing. We had theatre tickets so he timed everything perfectly. For three people we had the octopus and shrimp appetizers which were both fantastic. Dinner was monk fish for me which was excellent. My sister had a special of the night a fish stew and my brother in law went for the rib eye. Everyone was happy with their selections. I rarely do dessert but we shared their “egg” dessert. It was really really yummy. Five stars to this place. Think it’s more for special occasions unless you make a lot more money than I do, but no regrets.

    Lovely experience on Christmas day! The food was tasty and fresh. We had the fried calamari, shrimp with snow peas, Mongolian beef, and szechuan string beans, all of which I can recommend. Servers were friendly and efficient. Very fair prices.

    It was a great birthday meal in Boston. Our waitress was amazing 👏 and the food was fantastic as it always is at legal seafood. It was snowing while we were there so it added to the atmosphere of being in Boston around Christmas.

    Blu is a calm oasis I. A very busy part of town. The tables are well spaced out, the ambience and lighting just perfect for dining and the views are excellent. The food is good and somewhat conventional. But the service is really, really good. Our server, Val was knowledgeable, gentle, unobtrusive and there when we needed him. Rather old school but a rare treat compared to most restaurants in the area. Overall, we had a great experience.
