    Always excellent. From the wait staff to the management, everyone is friendly, attentive, informative, and engaging. All the food is outstanding. With new menu items ever present, you are sure to be delighted. From the inexperienced sushi “virgin” to the connoisseur, your palette will be delighted every visit. Thank you Jen for entertaining us once again. Your are a beautiful person. Raul our waiter (this time) facilitated a memorable Happy Birthday. If you have never tried sushi, do not “try” some “somewhere”. Go to the best. Give it a try. If you do not like sushi from Blue Sushi Sake Grill, then you will not like it anywhere else. 😉

    We were able to sit in our favorite area - one of the bar booths. Our service was absolutely top notch. Our table ordered several types of cocktails, wine, etc....and all were delicious, presented well, and as ordered. Our appetizer, meal and desserts were excellent as well. My filet was overcooked...but the more I think about it my waitress may have heard medium well as opposed to medium rare. It was still delicious with the au poivre sauce added and though I could have sent it back...I'm just not that kind of guy. I will certainly be back again.
