"**Tuna and Salmon Tartar (2/5):** While beautifully presented, the seasoning was lacking, and the freshness was not quite there. The chips were somewhat soggy, which took away from the enjoyment of the dish. It was decent but not particularly memorable. **Octopus (5/5):** Cooked and seasoned to perfection, this dish came with a delicious sauce that added a creamy, savory finish. Highly recommended! **Ribeye (4/5):** Cooked perfectly to medium rare, but the seasoning was uneven. A quick sprinkle with salt would easily fix this. **Rack of Lamb (2/5):** It had great flavor, but it was unfortunately undercooked and too rare. It definitely needed more sauce, as some pieces were lacking in it, making it difficult to enjoy. **Seafood Risotto (10/5):** No, that’s not a mistake! This is by far one of the best risottos we've ever tasted, and we will definitely return for it. The only minor issue was that many of the meats from the mussels and clams fell out, leaving mostly shells. Nonetheless, I highly recommend it—you won’t regret trying it! **Tuna Florentina (1/5):** This was definitely one of our least favorite dishes. The tuna lacked flavor, and the orecchiette was inconsistently cooked, with some pieces soft and others hard. I wouldn't recommend this one. **Linguine Carbonara (3.75/5):** Rich, creamy, and well-seasoned. While it didn't blow us away, it was still a solid choice and you can't go wrong with it. **Soft Shell Crab Pasta (4/5):** This was a fun and delicious dish, with the soft shell crab providing a nice contrast in flavor and texture. Quite good! Overall, while the experience was enjoyable, it wasn’t without its flaws. The location and service were wonderful, but the food has room for improvement. On a positive note, everything came out quickly and together. Blue has great potential, and I have no doubt they will continue to evolve and enhance their offerings. I hope that next time I can give them the five stars I believe they are capable of achieving! Thank you for reading, and best of luck to them!"

"We started with a round of drinks. I opted for a classic margarita with salt, while my husband had a beer. For appetizers, we ordered quite a few dishes. The chicken flautas were delicious, and the jalapeño poppers stuffed with chicken and cheese were a highlight as well. The wings were decent, but let’s be honest—who goes to a Tex-Mex restaurant for wings, right?! We then moved on to the ceviche, which was incredibly fresh. We requested extra limes and serrano peppers because we love it spicy. Next, we had the steak quesadilla filled with peppers and onions. It was hearty, packed with flavorful, tender steak, and just the right amount of cheese to hold it all together. My son even had leftovers from this dish! I couldn't resist trying the watermelon mojito, and I must say it was the best mojito I've tasted in a long time. It’s a must-try! For my main course, I ordered the salmon, which came with a creamy cilantro and lime rice. I’m not sure if that’s the exact description on the menu, but you could definitely taste the cilantro and lime, and I loved it! We enjoyed a few more drinks, and as time passed, more families arrived. Our server was very sweet and attentive. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with the food and service. We’ll definitely be back soon, especially since I heard they’re starting Latin Night on the first Saturday of August, which has me very excited!"
