Why Travelers Love Blu on
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
This restaurant has the best food that we've had on the island. Its a steakhouse type restaurant so expect it to be expensive. The service was great, always attentive, took our order quickly, got us our food fast and paid fast also. Great place to have dinner. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed Im not sure why the bad reviews...People are hard to please these days🙄. They have to import everything so yes its going to be more expensive and have a VAT fee! I dont see the point in complaining about that... I always try to be as fair and balanced as I can with my reviews. Let’s start with the single pro - the location of the restaurant perched on a bluff offers a spectacular view of the ocean. Now for the cons. We were warned to be patient with the service here but it was spectacularly bad. They build the gratuity into your check because the service is just horrendous. We were finished with our meal and waited 42 minutes for our check. Once it came it was another 20 until I had to go ask another server to take payment. The food is expensive, very mediocre, and really small portions. I had blackened grouper and while the fish was fresh, the blackened seasoning was flavorless and the filet was so tiny. The potatoes were good but hardly worthy of a visit here. You can find much better food at a more reasonable price point on the island. I would skip this tourist trap. For the Exuma, nonetheless the Bahamas, which typically the experience is OK this was an exceptional experience. The food was really well prepared and not overly spiced. Had the pasta seafood, which was so good and just a perfect amount for one person also had the crabcakes which were a little bit spicy, but eatable. The cheesecake was delicious. The other perk of this place is indoor eating with a sea and no flies plus a spectacular view.

Enjoyed a dining experience with 12 friends. This was the first time most of us were here. I found the atmosphere, food and service to be excellent. I had the Chicken Parmesan which was delicious. My wife had the grilled lobster. It was amazing as well. Others had filets. We passed the food around and it was great. Highly recommend.

Amazing meal. Best meal in the island. Service was excellent. Ty the owner/chef was engaging as well. Great guy. The food was outstanding. Started with the octopus and so on point. Just delicious. Then for entree we had the blackened grouper and my wife the risotto. All 3 of us that had the grouper said it may have been the best we ever had. Well cooked and seasoned. I would toss that against any seafood meal I have ever had. So good!!!
