Themed lunch was very lame- didn’t hold up to the way it was described. Food was poor and not accommodating to dietary restrictions- when we asked for clarification, the staff was rude and dismissive. I have reached out to the manager as this meal was absolutely not worth the $500 we spent. It was atrocious.

The service and overall ambience were excellent. The music from the bar was intrusive, and the salmon entree was over cooked, even though medium was requested. The snapper had slippery skin that made it very unappealing.
Blue AsterResponded on September 13, 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the service and overall ambiance at Blue Aster, but we sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered with the bar music and your entrees. Your comments about the overcooked salmon and snapper presentation are very important to us, and we'll be sure to address them with our culinary team to ensure improvements moving forward. We also appreciate your note about the music and will review our sound levels to create a more balanced atmosphere. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience on your next visit. Warm regards, The Blue Aster Team
