The men's bathroom has hundreds of p*rnographic images of women on the ceiling. I could not believe it. This is tasteless and inappropriate beyond belief. I can't image how many innocent children have been exposed to p*rn from just trying to have a nice dinner with family. I never care enough to write reviews but I have never seen such an awful thing at a restaurant. We spoke to the owner at the end and she said it was considered "art." That cannot be acceptable at all. Not to mention the incredibly long wait and extremely overpriced/tiny portions with burnt burgers, cold cheese, and burnt chips + the owner was drinking while working. The only good thing that happened was that our checks were adjusted because of the poor experience. We will never be back.

This might have been the worst experience of my life. First off never bring a kid here, there is porn on the ceiling of the men's bathroom. I never received my food however the only positive of this whole experience was that the waitress was very nice. The food that our table did receive was burnt and nothing above horrible. Terrible experience on St. Patrick's day weekend.

Owner doesn't like constructive criticism when she is wrong . She deletes bad reviews. And it's clear that she is childish, according to the restaurant's FB page and post ridiculously long " now hiring post". Anyone with more than a 5th grade education can read and comprehend that that post was a clear intimidation tactic towards her own staff. No one wants to support a business that post such drama or clear disregard for your staff. all those ridiculous questions could have been saved for an interview. If you need a refresher in business management just say that.

The service was alright I can't get mad at the server for bad training. No wine tasting or description of the meals. The service was the best part. The food was so overpriced for the portions the best part was the appetizers but we paid 34$ for a 3oz steak... also charged us more than what the menu priced. The ambiance was so bad on the lower level we sat outside upstairs where they should invest in a speaker and overall heat lamps. We really expected a good meal overall but were sadly let down tremendously.

I do not recommend this restaurant. We went on valentines day evening and were unaware of the prices from the start. We got our bill back and were shocked. This place was not worth the money, and the food was not even close to being worth it. The setting was weird and it was too quiet we had to whisper to each other. Yes, i am aware we went on valentines day, but we did so much research about this place before hand and the reviews were so good and explained the prices were extremely affordable. This was not the case for our experience. The food was way too overpriced for not even being good.

Absolutely phenomenal! Cant say a bad thing about this restaurant. Cozy vibe, live music and comfortable seating. Food was out of this world, I had the flank steak and my boyfriend had the lamb chop. Shared the bourbon apple pie for dessert, best I’ve ever had. This is our new favorite restaurant!!! Our waiter, Christian was exceptional, we would go back just to see him!! Great night.

Lunch menu is rather expensive for Washington, but great food and service, making it worth the occasional splurge. Very clean, and offers some original and thoughtful flavors which I think are worth exploring. Better than the Hackney, where I just can not get over asking a waiter to change to a clean apron and she did not.

Recent lunches and dinner have been excellent. The menu changes regularly and features high quality ingredients prepared with flair and care. Recent dinner of skirt steak, marinaded and grilled perfectly, was the best meal I have had in Washington. The quality of sides sets Blu apart. My steak was accompanied by Gouda grits that would convert any grit-hater and delicious sautés zucchini. All for under $30. Service has been great, rooftop setting superb and wine, beer and cocktails selection is solid.
Great food and drinks. View of the river was nice coupled with the breeze coming off the water. Menu changes daily so don't expect certain dishes for dinner. They have only been open for a few months so I'm sure they will only get bette

Delicious Alfredo Pasta! We really enjoyed the pasta here and the serving was huge! The vibe and rooftop seating was absolutely awesome. They are super pet friendly, even bringing him treats and water bowl! The prices are on the higher side but definitely worth it.

Very good customer service. Good overall was good. What was not so good without any hesitation staff quickly corrected it.

All the servers were very friendly and the food was delicious. I ordered the seafood roll and someone else in my party really enjoyed the burger.

Very disappointed. The pictures on yelp look much better than the actual interior. The upstairs was closed so we ate downstairs at tiny tables with uncomfortable chairs. At our table we look right into the kitchen. The food was mediocre at best. We were there on a Wednesday night, and the menu was very limited. Strangely, the had 2 different gazpacho soups listed. We ordered the pasta which was overcooked and very oily. The best part of the meal was the bread served with the past.
