"8/19/19 My husband and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary yesterday in downtown Memphis, TN. Our very first visit to Memphis. We walked around hoping to find a good local restaurant for dinner to celebrate our special occasion. Lucky for us, we stumbled upon the Bleu Restaurant inside the Westin Hotel. What an awesome experience from start to finish with the food and the excellent service we received. Our amazing waitress, Carmen started us out with a delicious, finger licking dry rub chicken wing appetizer with bourbon barbeque and blue cheese sauces on the side. For my main course, I tried the grilled pork chop which came with an awesome peach barbeque drizzle, some miniature candied yams and I substitited the sauteed swiss chard for asparagus. The pork chop had wonderful grill marks and was so tender and delicious and I couldn't get enough of coating the pork with the peach barbeque drizzle. The candied yams and asparagus were cooked to perfection and great compliments to the pork chop. My husband had the gemini pasta and added shrimp as his protein of choice. He loved it. The portion ratios were spot on. To end the meal, I really wanted a nice, light dessert. I chose the Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake with whipped cream and fruit (strawberries). OMG...this was the lightest, best dessert I've tasted in forever!! Top layer was white chocolate, middle layer was a darker chocolate and final layer was chocolate cake with the whipped cream and strawberries on the side. I normally do not prefer white chocolate, but this amazing dessert was a pleasing exception for my palate, lol. I savored every single bite. Kudos to the chef and the new manager. We were pleasantly full, but did not feel over stuffed. I must save my best review for our waitress, Carmen. She was so funny and engaging throughout the entire dining experience and helped us create a memorable 35th anniversary dining experience that we will always cherish. Thank you to Carmen and the entire Bleu Restaurant management and staff from Willie and Karen, Mechanicsburg, PA."
