Outside pool setting. Large food portions. Good drinks. Great service. 18% tip automatically added to bill tho. Ritz-Carlton so expect to overpay,

I had the tropical fish tacos, and they were so bland. And the tortillas were tough! My husband got the wings, which were much better. For some reason, they had a limited menu for the days that I was there. I didn't realize this until I was seated, which was a bummer (the online menu had a quesadilla on it, which is what I really wanted). The service was decent, and they were able to accommodate my husband's dietary restrictions. Overall, I would rather trek to Knife Burger given the quality, high price and limited offerings at Bleu.

Service was terrible especially for a Ritz! I expected the service to be at the same level as the Santa Barbara Ritz...sadly it was not. We waited 15-20 minutes while servers just walked past us never acknowledging us. It was absolutely crazy! My husband finally went up to someone who said they'd send someone over. After 5 more minutes and nobody showing up we left went back to Highball where we were greeted right away. Won't be back!

This place is amazing! We loved the salads, fries and turkey and avocado sandwich. Highly recommend this place

Had a lunch at this restaurant with another conference attendee. We decided to split the bill 50/50, both gave the waitress our credit cards. Few days later when I checked my credit card statement I found out that my card was charged for the full amount. Why would they do it if I signed only for my half? Tried to call the hotel multiple times, they were never able to connect me with the restaurant. Left my number with the message, nobody ever called me back. I believe what they did is very wrong, the matter is not about the money. Very unethical and unprofessional.

Stopped by right around opening time at 11 and met with friendly service. Erica was fantastic! It was a hot summer day but the seating was shaded which made it bearable. I loved the overall look of the place with pretty blue walls and matching color scheme of the furniture. We had free drink cards issued by the ritz and we were able to order drinks beyond the monetary stipulation- Erica was super patient and gave us great recommendations as we thought through our options. Ended up picking a mango mojito (delish), virgin strawberry mojito (equally yum and super sweet), and sangria (made with fresh fruit from the farm on site). The chips and salsa were shockingly my favorite thing- there was something about the salsa flavor I couldn't quite figure out but I wanted to keep eating. The wings were sweet and pretty big in size. The fish tacos would have been better with more sauce other than salsa. The salad was flavorful but also something I felt I could replicate at home.Would definitely come back for drinks and some apps!
The Ritz-CarltonOrlando Grande Lakes offers 11 restaurants to satisfy the whims of its visitors and the Bleu Pool Bar is probably the finest poolside restaurant we've ever encountered. Open from 11 to 6 Sunday through Thursday and 11 to 7 on Friday and Saturday, this Caribbean-inspired, al fresco restaurant serves tacos, sandwiches, classic burgers, fresh seafood, salads and cocktails. Having spent a winter in Chicago, my wife and I were eager to get a glimpse of the Florida sun. We started with chips and salsa, chicken tenders and Caesar salad with romaine lettuce, shaved parmesan, focaccia croutons, white anchovies and Caesar dressing. My wife had a fish sandwich with butter lettuce, tomato and key lime tartar sauce on a house-made sesame seed bun with dill pickle and fries. I enjoyed a Classic Burger with butter lettuce, tomato, red onion, secret sauce and American cheese on a house-made sesame seed bun with dill pickle, bacon and fries. For dessert, we shared a strawberry key lime parfait and a dark chocolate, roasted pineapple parfait. We washed it all down with two specialty non-alcoholic drinks, Bleu lemonade and sparkling strawberry lemonade.

We had a late lunch while staying at the Ritz-Carlton. The chips and salsa consisted of both stale and chewy chips. The salsa was some of the worst that I've been served. My husband had wings, which were overcooked. I had the Mahi-Mahi tacos, which were bland and served with the same nasty salsa. Service was marginal, but an 18% tip was automatically added to the bill. For less than half the price, we have had far better meals in Ohio. I realize that the pricing was in line with the location, but serving bad food? Hard pass!

Food was barely warm. Server did not come by until almost finished.

Best fish tacos I've ever had! You get an order of 3 grilled Mahi Mahi tacos, with red onions, cilantro and chopped mango. Just out of this world delicious! I couldn't finish all three, so I took one to go and had it for lunch the next day. I think it was even better, if that's possible. Beautiful location overlooking the lake and golf course. Lots of tropical plants and birds surrounding the restaurant. Great service. A lovely meal!
