    Whipped potatoes and truffle creamed spinach- perfect sides for the steak
    Ada W.

    Was able to get last minute reservations (15 minutes before) on a saturday evening. Place was pretty busy and upscale. I had to use my chase sapphire dining credits and this restaurant was part of it, and I happened to be nearby. Everyone was dressed nicely, meanwhile I come in with my orange spyder jacket (it was raining) Anyway, food was pretty good. Octopus- it was pretty good as I love octopus legs but thought the texture needed a bit more bounce to it. I still enjoyed it. Steak delmonico- decently good as well. I ordered it medium rare and thats the way it came. I didnt order any sauce on the side for it but maybe u should. I figured the whipped potatoes and truffle creamed spinach would be good sides that can double as sauces. But their truffle butter sauce sounds pretty good. Chicken parm- it was surprisingly good. The cheese complimented the chicken so well. I think I liked this more than my steak. Whipped potatoes- delicious Truffle creamed spinach- pretty good as well Overall, i had a nice evening here. Ambiance is slightly dark and romantic. Waiters were nice.

    I went to Blu on the Hudson with my family this weekend and had such a great experience. The restaurant was extremely busy, so we did have to wait a little for our reservation, but honestly the food and overall atmosphere made it worth it. We ordered everything family style, which made the experience even more fun. We had the gnocchi with hand-rolled pasta, spicy vodka sauce, and local ricotta, truffle French fries, octopus with lemon potatoes and kalamata olive emulsion, calamari with cherry peppers, crispy lemon, saffron aioli, and sweet tomato, plus the lobster mac & cheese with lobster béchamel and white cheddar. We also shared a steak that was absolutely delicious, even though I can't remember exactly which cut it was. Every dish we ordered was flavorful, rich, and beautifully prepared. The ambiance here definitely gives upscale and elegant vibes while still feeling lively and fun. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a nice date night spot or somewhere to celebrate a birthday, graduation, or milestone occasion with family and loved ones.

    Blu on the Hudson is the perfect place for date night, girls night out, or celebrations. It has a sleek and modern esthetic, a sophisticated vibe, and the service and food match the ambiance perfectly. One thing I loved about the cocktail menu were the detailed descriptions and photos. It made it really easy to decide, and I wasn't disappointed by my choice. I had the Don't be Shy, which was vodka-based and had soju. It was very refreshing and was mixed perfectly. Since the restaurant iis known for sushi and pasta (and steak), I decided to try one of their Lincoln Harbor rolls which had crab, bluefin tuna, avocado, and wasabi yuzu. It had a kick to it and the fish was very fresh. I also had a side of the lobster mac and cheese, which was creamy and filled with lobster. My mate had the bolognese pasta dish and it was finished very quickly, which is always a good sign. All in all, I had a fantastic meal with excellent service and look forward to returning soon.

    Gave Blu on the Hudson 4 stars. Went for my mom's birthday and had a really nice time. We sat outside, the ambiance was beautiful and just set the vibe for the night. Service was great our waiter Giovanni was on point the whole time, super attentive and his recommendations were actually really good. For appetizers we had the fried calamari, spicy shrimp, Caesar salad, and the tuna on crispy rice everything came out fresh and flavorful. For our entrées we ordered the skirt steak, lamb chops, chicken parmigiana, cacio e pepe pasta, and pasta bolognese. No complaints, everyone enjoyed their food. They do have valet, which helps because parking over there is definitely a headache. Overall, really good experience and perfect spot for a celebration. Would go back.

    Throughly enjoyed the food and the ambiance. The setting is beautiful and is right near the Hudson river. The service was pretty nice while we were being attended to but unfortunately it took forever for our entrees to come out and to make it more frustrating, no one acknowledged it. It felt like the staff was purposely ignoring our table. They would ask other tables how they were doing and skip our table and ask others how they were doing. It's nice to be acknowledged, especially if it's regarding a negative thing. They could've offered a complimentary drink? Something? Bread? Anything?!!! We waited about 40 minutes or so for our entrees. Thankfully, the food was good and helped mend the frustrating a bit. I'd come back. The food was good and the ambiance nice. Perhaps the long wait for entrees was a fluke.

    Service is deplorable to the point that they bring the main course and there's no silverware on the table... The bartender was very arrogant she ignored us for a while until she had no option but to approach us after going around the bar for no apparent reason

    Lobster Diavalo

    Flew in from Miami to try this spot and it did not disappoint! I made my reservation 2 weeks in advance after reading the reviews. My girl and I arrived at 6:55 for our 7:00 and were seated almost right away. The hostess initially attempted to seat is down this long hallway near the service area with no windows. I wasn't impressed and asked her if she could move us to a better table which she promptly obliged. After we sat down at our new table man oh man! Talk about a sexy, sophisticated ambiance! The place had a fun, electric energy to it which I really appreciated! Everyone was dressed superbly! The DJ was amazing too! Definitely set the tone for the night. My friend and I ordered a few glasses of prosecco and she had the lamb chops while I tried the chopped salad and the lobster Diavolo. Both were superb! Out waiter Dylan explained that it was seasoned a little on the spicier side so I asked if they could prepare it a little milder for me if it wasn't too much trouble. They did and it was absolutely amazing. A nice touch was when Jake, the Hospitality Lead stopped by our table to check on us and gave us an even warmer welcome when he heard we were from out of town! It was a great ending to a superb dining experience!

    Such a beautiful restaurant yet the food/service was extremely disappointing. I went to dinner with my daughter and granddaughter who is 7 years old. The decor and feel of the restaurant is gorgeous and sexy - perfect for a date night. The first disappointment was they do not offer a kids menu (despite there being several kids at the restaurant at the time we were there). In my opinion if they are not going to offer specific menu items for kids, at least their appetizers could be more "kid friendly". They do offer chicken parm as an entree (more about that later) and it would seem like that cutlet could be sliced to make chicken tenders. When I asked my waiter (I didn't get his name), he said they don't offer anything for kids and asked if we wanted to order shrimps for her which was a no go as she is allergic. At that point I asked for a bread basket which we were told they don't offer that either. Ok we were off to a great start (not). I started with the "Don't Be Shy" alcoholic drink - it was a good if you wanted a glass of juice as I don't believe there was an ounce of liquor in that drink. My daughter ordered a Sidecar which she said was good. For apps we had the east oysters and I ordered the spicy tuna sushi rolls. The oysters were beautifully presented, however they were so small and for a dozen oysters we only got one slice of lemon to share between the two of us. The sushi roll was good. For entree I ordered the lobster fra diavolo, my granddaughter had pasta with bolognese and my daughter ordered chicken parm. Now let me just say that I have NEVER been at any restaurant that offer any type of parmesan dish that it doesn't come with a side of any type. I mean who eats only a plate of chicken parm? Not only that, you would think the waiter would have asked her if she wanted a side (which we would then know it didn't come with it). We waited about twenty minutes for our entrees and when we realized it was just a plate of chicken parm and asked for a side of pasta with sauce, we were told it would take at least another 15 minutes for the side. How disappointing. I did taste it tho and it was pretty good. My lobster fra diavolo on the other hand was bland. It was slathered in sauce and the sauce was spicy but it had absolutely no taste to it. Lastly our waiter gave me the impression that he didn't want to be bothered - I had to flag him down for everything, including the check. He never checked on us to see if we wanted/needed anything at all. Needless to say I was quite disappointed and expected more for this fine dining establishment.

    Bolognese, truffle fries, and Wagyu skirt steak
    Mina D.

    I took my sister-in-law here for my bridesmaid proposal, and this restaurant was the perfect place! From the beautiful New York skyline view, to the modern chic decor and the most amazing service from our waiter, David. The food was 100 out of 10 and our waiter made the perfect suggestions for our entrée choices. We started our meal with the crispy calamari that had beautiful slices of fried lemon slices that were to die for. For cocktails we did a Hugo spirits and one of their signature cocktails that was like a Paloma. Both of our drinks had the perfect balance of sweet and refreshing. For our main entrées, we chose the Bolognese and Wagyu skirt steak with a side of truffle fries. At first, I wanted to choose a dipping sauce for my Wagyu skirt steak, but our waiter, David suggested against it and said that the steak would be perfectly seasoned. To our surprise, he was 1000% correct! My steak was a perfect medium rare with a warm red center, and simply seasoned with just the right amount of sea salt and pepper! He still brought a side of chimichurri dipping sauce on the house, that we ended up not even needing! Overall, we had the most amazing time with the best service and a perfect meal! Thank you, David, for making my bridesmaid proposal lunch a success!

    Delmonico steak
    Nikko A.

    Stopped by Blu on the Hudson for Valentine's Day and had an amazing experience. The vibe of the restaurant is super chic and trendy and the food and service was impeccable. Valentine's Day had a special prefix menu which we chose the rice cakes, sushi tasting and Delmonico steak from. The sushi was som of the freshest and best sushi I've ever had and the steak was cooked to perfection. If you're looking for a great date night spot, you've definitely got to try Blu on the Hudson!

    Blu on the Hudson has a beautiful interior--dimly lit with tall ceilings and a cozy fire pit that sets a great atmosphere. The wait staff was pleasant throughout the evening, and the host even came by our table a few times to check in, which I appreciated. My friend and I both ordered the filet mignon, and the steak itself was cooked perfectly and well seasoned with a peppercorn crust. I had mine with fries, which were hot, crispy, and a generous portion. I did ask for fries without truffle, and while they were able to accommodate the change, I was surprised to see that they only do truffle fries, not regular fries. My friend ordered the mashed potatoes and said they were good. We also tried the creamed spinach which was great. A little heavy on the cheese/ cream but still tasty. The steak sauces are also an additional charge ($7 each), though they did provide chimichurri sauce complimentary, likely due to the wait. Unfortunately, the food took a very long time to arrive--close to an hour. While the host was apologetic and offered complimentary candied beef bacon while we waited (a nice gesture), the delay was long enough that I nearly lost my appetite, which is a real shame because this was probably the star of the evening. It was sweet and I loved that it was beef bacon so I could actually eat it. But I was so hangry at that point that I ended up packing it instead. One uncomfortable moment stood out: while checking in with our reservation, the doorman repeatedly insisted that I sit while waiting for our table, even after I said I preferred to stand. It became awkward enough that the woman managing reservations had to intervene. The interaction felt unnecessary and uncomfortable as a guest. Overall, the food itself was good, but between the extremely long wait and the awkward front-of-house interaction, what would've been four star experience felt more like 3.5.

    In general, Blu on the Hudson is a beautiful restaurant. Whether you're there for a date, birthday or just grabbing drinks, you'll be immersed in an aesthetic that cannot be replicated. The service was fantastic and my food was so delicious. Highlights were the appetizers because i thought they were so tasteful, especially the shrimp and the crispy rice cakes. My entrees were good but i felt myself wishing i ordered more apps. I would definitely come back. Plus! I don't drink so it was really nice to see that they had different variations of mocktails and zero proof drinks. The lychee martini was to DIE for! So I'm happy that i came here to celebrate my friend's birthday! Would continue to recommend to everyone as well.

Saka has a solid offer of Any 3 Rolls for ~$20. Their selection of rolls is more limiting than other places; would love if they had yellowtail or scallop as options at lunch. Nonetheless, the rolls I got were solid! The fish was fresh and the portion was great, the rice layer wasn't thick at all which is a big factor for me, and to my surprise, it came with both a miso soup & salad. The miso soup was pretty flavorful compared to others I've had and the salad came with a sesame dressing that was so refreshing with the crisp salad. I should've kept my order at that as the Crispy Spicy Salmon wasn't worth it. The crispy rice was slightly too hard/over-fried and the portion of spicy salmon was so tiny. The rice layer should be fully topped with salmon, unlike what they gave. It didn't taste half bad but I'd probably skip it next time. If you order for delivery, their insulated packaging is great for transport and temperature control. Solid try!

The menu kind of reflects this struggle too, as it can't seem to decide if it wants to offer more traditional Japanese sushi-ya fare or something more innovative.
