    Blu on The Hudson is arguably the best restaurant I have ever visited. From the moment you pull up to valet service until the time you leave, it offers an exceptional experience. On January 3, 2025, I had dinner with a few friends, and the food was outstanding. There were eight of us, and we ordered various appetizers, entrées, and sides. I couldn't find anything negative about the food; everything tasted amazing. However, I did have my favorites. The "Thick Cut Wagyu Bacon," slow-cooked with a soy caramel glaze, is absolutely to die for. For my main course, I enjoyed the Wagyu Tomahawk, paired with whipped potatoes and truffle cream spinach. As a finishing touch, I had truffle butter drizzled over my Tomahawk. As I mentioned, I was there with a group of friends on January 3, 2025. The ambiance, service (specifically from Letty and Amber), drinks, and food prompted me to make a reservation for a date night with my wife the next night, January 4, 2025. Guess what? Blu on The Hudson didn't disappoint. Our waitress, Victoria, was excellent! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and made our evening flawless. After dinner, she had the valet retrieve our vehicle, just as Amber and Letty had done the previous night. I can't wait to return to Blu on The Hudson; it's a perfect choice whether you're looking for a date night or a relaxed outing with friends.

    We love coming to Ninety acres for special occasions. Last night was a birthday dinner. Love the ambiance. I like sitting in either the bar area or on a banquette in the main dining room. Always a classy experience!
