After reading some of the negative reviews, I'm very surprised by some of the comments. Especially about cleanliness - I went here over the weekend - the restaurant was very neat & clean. In fact, one of the reasons I decided to leave a very positive review is that I really enjoyed everything, except some of the appetizers- their empanadas were disappointing. The cocktails and calamari were really good! I think it's some of the best calamari I've had in a very long time. Ambience - Overall very open and airy. The bar can get a little crowded - it's easy to get stuck between the bar and the room partition located right behind it. There's a nice outdoor space and even though the restaurant is located along a busy road, once inside, it's completely relaxed & open. I like way they designed the main space. Both inside as well as the outdoor space. The outdoor lighting imparts an uplifting yet relaxing mood. Finally, even the bathrooms were well planned (they included a small sink within one of the bathroom stalls, although towels to dry your hands were gone by the time I made it there). The bathroom has nice relaxing lighting too, several stalls and plenty of space. That's an important feature - some of the local restaurants only have one bathroom or the stalls are very small and close together. Blu mar's are spacious & classy. The large open parking lot was another plus. Very convenient. The people who work here were friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my time here. read more

Cute place inside and out. A lot of art work on the walls inside. Food was just okay. I wasn't crazy about my ziti. It needed more sauce and ricotta. I also didn't like my passion fruit cocktail, and neither did my friend. Youre paying such high prices because youre in the hamptons. Still, had a lot of fun there with my friends, and it's located in a super cute neighborhood. At night, the other half of it turns into a little club. We went to it but didn't stay long. Some of the crowd members were getting too aggressive. read more

Blu Mar - Mediterranean Near Me - Southampton, New York

MOST UNDERRATED PLACE IN THE HAMPTONS!!!!!! 12/10. The food at this place is better than some Michelin restaurants I've been to. The calamari, dragon roll, grilled octopus, and guacamole were out of this world. The Lamb is like bringing Wagu beef to a burger party. The carbonara is out of this world! This is my new favorite date spot. The manager Justin Shiller and Dave are big fans of Gordon Ramsey and has created a menu worthy of the big man himself. There is not one thing I didn't like about this place. It is 100% worth dealing with the traffic to come from Bridgehampton to Southampton for this place. They also recently opened a club which opens at 11pm. The tables start at 500 read more

Blu Mar - Carbonara - Mediterranean Near Me - Southampton, New York

Blu Mar was a big hopeful for the evening, but fell short for a lot of reasons, and I'll explain. This is summertime in the Hamptons, and every restaurant is packed to the brim, and Blu Mar was no exception, but we were able to get a last minute reservation because another restaurant we went to didn't have the vibe I was looking for. One of the stars goes to the vibe, when we got there it was super chill, not too crazy packed, low key, relaxing jazz music, beautiful cool night outside, and exactly what I was hoping for, and they had ample parking when I arrived, 7:30pm Saturday night, great start. The menu is eclectic and different, they had Mediterranean dishes but also a big selection of Pasta, so we decided, after talking with the waitress, that we would do an app, Zucchini Chips and 2 Pasta dishes. The waitress herself at first was very composed, and then it got stupid busy like 30-40 minutes after we sat, and she fell off on service. Hard to find, not as attentive, and the staff seemed very disorganized. The food: Zuchini Chips (Average, Not Special) C Pasta Dishes (A) were very good, specifically the sauce though. They had only like 6 or 7 pieces of pasta in there, and for $30 that's pretty skimpy. The sauce was amazing in both, had to ask for bread to mop it. The worst part, and why it lost so many stars, are the drinks. This bartender must have been the worst bartender on Long Island, the drinks were garbage, terribly mixed, not good to drink, and at $18 a pop, not forgivable. This place needs a new guy, or someone to teach this person how to flip drinks. Also took a long time to get one of the drinks, we were done with the meal by the time the second one arrived. 2 pastas, 3 drinks were $150 after tip. Very pricey, not worth it, great early vibe, but when this place gets busy, service falls off a cliff. Don't recommend. Go elsewhere. read more

The food was not the best. It was hot inside and bugs flying everywhere. The hype was not worth it. read more

I would give their decor a 5 star if this is for a HGTV show. However, there are many factors to be involved in the restaurant's overall score. Our Charcuterie board looks like was eaten by someone before. ( sausage and cheese were cut weirdly) My cucumber drink has zero taste of its favor( It's funny they put zucchini as garnish). Margherita pizza without basil toppings. The lobster roll had too much sauce on it. I'm sorry but I just can't find any highlight of the dining experience besides the decoration of the restaurant. read more

Horrible isn't the world. From the food, to the drinks, to the service. Didn't see the reviews prior to coming here but they are so on point. Drinks were mixed up, The food wasn't worth it. Sushi isn't even on the menu so I don't know why it says that on here. Way too Over priced and wouldn't recommend. read more

Ok so we went to Blu Mar last night. Looked at the menu, prices seemed good and it wasn't too busy. Husband, 3 year old, and I settled in and they brought a great cheese spaghetti with sauce on the side for my kid. Awesome. Good start. We ordered a truffle/black garlic Black Sea bass main to split (we weren't too hungry and had a long drive ahead.) So they left us on our own for a long while- never checked on us. Sure. But we when we realize it's been an hour, we call someone over to ask after our main. It's immediately clear they never put the order in at all. Embarrassed, they finally get us our main after 1h15. The vegetables and my kid's pasta were great (esp broccoli rabe)- but listen, this main was terrible. It had nice big shaves of truffle but also so much truffle oil poured on top it tasted like kerosene. My husband is less sensitive to truffle than I am, but he agreed the flavor was overwhelming. Staff was disorganized and confused. At the price point and without a discount for waiting so long, I'm just really unimpressed. Will not return. read more

We dropped in last minute for drinks on an off season Saturday night, and we were treated to amazing service and ambiance (despite the nearly empty dining room on a cold November weekend in a beach town). The service was super friendly and attentive but not intrusive - and with strong drinks, delicious comped warm apple pie a la mode and a table right in front of the fireplace we really enjoyed it. The high ceilings, beautiful windows, and cool modern art made for a lovely experience. Maybe the summer folks are a bit too judgey ;) ...show these guys some love! read more

The food and ambiance are driving this 5-star review, as the service was lacking. First, the way they styled their outdoor dining is truly gorgeous. They have bistro lights, gazebos, and the trees are uplight. Second, all of the food was amazing. There is currently a sushi by bou popup going on in a portion of the restaurant, and so you're allowed to order from the main Blu Mar menu or the sushi menu. We had the sushi as our appetizers and each roll was very good. We had the bluefin tuna roll and the hello yellow roll which was good enough as is without adding soy sauce. The fish tasted very fresh. For our entrees, we ordered mains from the main menu. I had the porcini mushroom mezzaluna pasta which was outstanding, but it was an incredibly tiny portion. There were only 5 pieces of pasta in the dish. I had the strawberry daiquiri which was pretty good, but could have used more strawberry. Third, the service was really lacking. I called in advance of our reservation to double check that we could order from the sushi and the main menu from the table that we booked, and was told that we could. However, upon arrival, our waitress told us we could only order from the Blu Mar menu. We then asked to be seated at a table that allowed us to order sushi, and it was a lounge set that was in a sad looking portion of the restaurant. We then found out from another waiter that we could order from both menus no matter where we were seated, so we then transferred back to our original table. All of this commotion due to the waitress not knowing that we could order from both menus in the first place. After that, the waitress was fairly rude to us and did not attend to our table. read more

Fabulous from start to finish. Great ambiance, crowd, service and FOOD. Good quality ingredients. Can't beat that.

Blu Mar - Burrata salad and other amazing apps - Mediterranean Near Me - Southampton, New York

Went for lunch and it was completely empty. Made a reservation on OpenTable but didn't need it. A shock to me because after our first time last year, I was very excited to come back. Even though they just opened up for the season, I have to say wow! Service was impeccable. Food was outstanding. Didn't have gluten free bread available at the moment for my mom but manager was extremely accommodating. Great suggestions by waitstaff. Let us enjoy our meal leisurely. Appetizers: Beet salad is a favorite go to. New mussel dish on the menu are perfection (must try!). Main entree: Mushroom white pizza is incredible and huge, could probably be for 2. Dessert: cheesecake and chocolate cake, highly recommend both! . read more

The dining experience was nice , good service and good outdoor seating however the time we went they weren't serving alcohol ( lost their license ) so that was bummer because we could have been told that when we made the reservations. The meatballs were phenomenal Pizza tasted like the microwaveable ones Sushi was good The asparagus salad was good but just so small , like come one you could add a few more asparagus to it The lobster pasta wasn't worth 40$ ThatS for sure The branzion and salmon were really good Mushroom ravioli was good , but you get rotes I'd eating it , very overwhelming with the truffle read more

Tonight we had one of the worst experiences in decades of Hamptons' dining. Over two hours went by before our cold entrees arrived. In those two hours, they managed to get each of the 6 cocktails incorrect, twice. The pasta arrived cold and inedible. The "service" was a complete disaster. We asked for the check - and not once, not twice, but three times the waitress managed to mess up the payment. The service is untenable at this establishment. read more

Worst service and treatment I've ever had. We waited one and a half hours for food, and every cocktail we ordered took over 30 min to arrive. Despite the high quality of the food, nothing could make up for the sub par service. I kid you not... it took over 45 minutes to get the check... when the restaurant was empty. The owner should be embarrassed and the under aged women they let into their "club" should be kicked out. Never going back. read more

We came here at 7pm and got seated right away. We quickly saw the linen dirty from bug poop or something else and they replaced it. They brought out bread with olive oil. The bread was soft and delicious. Dip it in the oil and sprinkle a little salt for a great start. Appetizers - we ordered halibut ceviche (which was spicy but delicious, my personal favorite), tuna (which was also pretty good), burrata (good but doesn't melt in your mouth like I've had elsewhere) and Greek salad (decent). Entrees - we shared a seafood stew (I didn't have it but heard it was alright), Dover sole (really good), seabass (second best) and durado (crispy but not flavorful). Last but not least was pasta with black truffles (it definitely looks better than it tastes. You don't taste any truffle flavor. The truffle shavings themselves weren't great and didn't add any flavor. I definitely had high expectations going with the dish but at $40 it didn't deliver. The morracan spiced carrots we got as our only side dish was one of the highlights in the entree round. We kept asking for bread and they brought it out quickly and then right away took it back as they cleared the apps (it still had all of it left minus a few slices we managed to grab). Wish we read the reviews going in because the one in the city heard was much better. One last tip: review your bill, the sea bass said 65 on the menu but the bill had it as 85 so he ended up giving the 20 dollar discount. We also had a dish on the bill we didn't order but they removed it as well. Always take a look at the receipts just to make sure. read more

Blu Mar - Mediterranean Near Me - Southampton, New York

Blu Mar is a new restaurant in the heart of South Hampton Village. It is in a fabulous location with a parking lot and within walking distance to main street. The wine list is extensive and quite reasonable. The food was impeccably cooked and presented. I recommend the Octopus and Brussel Sprout appetizer. For main course, the Halibut was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The fish is so fresh that it tastes like it was just pulled out of the water! NOT TO BE MISSED! 5 STARS read more

This place is open only for a week. BUT god, food is amazing, must try their clams in a very special souse and Smoked lamb chops. I almost never leave reviews BUT this time i must ... and staff is very friendly and put lots of attention to you , and not just one member, all of them !!!! Food is delicious !!!! read more

We felt like we were old friends, from the moment we walked into the restaurant. My girlfriend and I were visiting from New York City and came here for our anniversary dinner. Location is ideal and the ambiance was lovely. We sat outside, with standing propane heaters, and enjoyed the evening. The cocktails were creative and delicious. Food was elevated, but not pretentious. I'm a vegetarian and there were still a few options on the menu for me. I would be surprised if the kitchen would accommodate other menu items, but I didn't ask. The excellent service is what made this place extra special for us. Everyone was very friendly, sincere, and hospitable. When I casually mentioned we were dining for our anniversary, not expecting anything in return, they went out of their way to make the evening extra special for us. My girlfriend and I are very grateful and look forward to returning during our next visit to Southampton! read more

We celebrated a birthday party last night. The place looks really nice definitely a spot to be in Hamptons. Had an amazing night and we want to thank our waitress or manager not sure what she was because she looked impeccable. She did a great job and took care of everything we needed and her recommendation about the food were great. Everyone should try the brussel sprouts they are to die for and the lamb chops very very good. The only minus we have to say is that the drinks were coming out really hard and they can be better. Overall we had a good time and will be back soon. read more

Great early new years dinner. First ones there and treated like royalty. We are pescatarian and the menu gave lots of options.

While the location and garden they have created in front of the restaurant is so lovely, the food was rather mediocre. The appetizer was a combination of squid and octopus. It was served over hummus, which alone was delicious. The squid was a little chewier than to my liking and I'm not sure how it was seasoned but it just didn't taste like a freshly grilled piece of octopus. We all ordered Lobster Cioppino- that was served with squid ink spaghetti. The pasta was over salty and that it made it hard to enjoy the lobster and the overall dish. I love a good pasta dish and knowing that the pasta is made daily, we were expecting something better.We ordered a round of the speciality drinks with Prosecco. It was significantly overpriced for the Bchampagne flutes it came in and it wasn't anything spectacular in regards to flavor. Well now on to the dessert. We ordered a chocolate dish and the key lime pie. It was beautifully decorated but it just didn't taste as decadent as it should be. While the service was fine and the overall location was beautiful, the food was not at all what I expected and I have no reason to return. read more

Only giving one star because the tuna appetizer was delightful... service was sub-par, waiters seemed very confused??? Dinner was horrific, the caesar tasted like dining hall food and warm anchovies. 5 noodles for a $30 entree... 6 bucks per noodle?!?!? I dont think so. Silver lining was that it is walking distance to Carvel. Paid 70 dollars for a really disappointing meal. The ambiance was bizarre, ladies in the toilet would not get out as well. Please use your money at Carvel instead, and get the extra crunchies. Ps. My shirt is wet from the waiter spilling water on me read more

This place is in a great location, but the overall experience is far from what would be expected in any place with those prices. The food is at the same level as that of an average diner. The Aperol spritz had no gas. The carbonara pasta was dry and lacked flavor. The salmon was dry. I really hope this place changes quickly so it can do well, but for now bottom of my list in the Hamptons. read more

Inside the restaurant has no AC but outside seating is very nice but a bit crowded The food was very good but pricey Chicken Milanese was very tender and good. The pasta alla vodka was amazing. The prawns were OK I would've preferred some cocktail sauce rather than the broth but none available ???? Lacks a vibe - Needs some music playing or something read more

blu mar business model seems to be to under staff their restaurant with inexperienced workers and try and make as much profit as they can while making many mistakes and over charging. You'll wait a while for your food if it comes at all, no one will check in throughout the meal. and the waitstaff seems traumatized at needing to constantly apologize, for things that honestly aren't their fault. this might work in a tourist economy but the only folks that benefit is the owners and no one else. maybe sitting at the bar and having a drink will go smoothly but honestly doubt it. Odds are you should just stay away. read more

DISGUSTING FLY PROBLEM. Yes I understand that when you leave the door open, bugs will come in. However the flies were literally dying on our table, in our food, ALL around...... management had to move our table because it was so gross. Yet we did NOT get even a free drink or app or ANYTHING which i thought we would because they "felt bad" and they said they would've On top of that, it was a $600+ meal for 8 people. Save your money it's pretty gross and not worth going. Food was okay just was NOT worth $75/person for an app and entree.... will never go back. NOT the service I expected at such a "high end" Hamptons restaurant. VERY disappointed do not recommend. read more

Came here for brunch on Memorial Day. Worst restaurant experience I've ever had. The restaurant was only staffed by the manager (who might have been only person cooking in the kitchen) and two inexperienced and overwhelmed waiters. The drinks were terrible, the food was late and tasted awful. I'm pretty sure we were served frozen pizzas, canned soup, and calamari that was slathered in sweet sauce. It felt like the restaurant sourced their food that day from the frozen section at Costco. Multiple tables that day seemed like they were having similar complaints / issues. I wish I could give this restaurant zero stars. Not only the worst restaurant in the Hamptons, worst restaurant period. Do not go here. read more

Tried this restaurant or the first time and to my great disappointment, outside de fine job they did with the decor, I enjoyed the squid ink pasta appetizer but when it came to the main course I ordered the swordfish kebab which was slightly over cooked but my guess order the skirt steak medium rare and it came out extreme overcooked and very tough. He send it back and when the check came in they had the audacity to charge for. Of course I declined and will never go back. Antonio Estadella read more

We were a party of five and were seated outside in their lovely patio area which easily accommodated large and small parties. Staff was gracious and welcoming and service was top notch, especially our server, Couscous, who made our evening especially pleasant. There was a guitar player/ singer who provided entertainment that was also a lovely touch and which was not overwhelmingly loud so as not to disrupt flow of conversation which we all appreciated. Everyone enjoyed their food which included menu choices of shrimp, scallops, clams, and pasta. Food was all prepared fresh and delicious. Cocktails were also excellent!. We would definitely go back again!! read more
