“ I would have given it 6 stars if I could. It was a last minute decision to dine here and fortunately they could could accommodate us at 5pm. After 2 weeks of dismal rain, we had beautiful weather so we had great views. Our sever, Christine, was really knowledgeable about everything on the menu including wine pairings. We started with sharing the risotto appetizer made with locally sourced morels and ramps. (Add a little shrimp and this could have been the main course. I had the rack of lamb and my husband had the wild boar. Everything was cooked to perfection and I was disappointed we were too stuffed for dessert. Views of the lake and islands were phenomenal. We've been married 48 years and I'd put this in my top 5 of restaurants of all time...but take a credit card. Food and service this Great doesn't come cheap, but worth the splurge. ”
“ We ALWAYS love us some Blu! Go multiple times a year.. and can never go wrong! Consistent amazing dishes, attentive staff, romantic ambiance and gorgeous views! ”
“ This place is a gem! The service was fantastic and the view was spectacular but the best part is the food. We had steak and fish and it was perfection. The best meal in Glen Arbor, definitely worth the price. We were so impressed! Thank you for this experience. ”
“ Absolutely amazing. The food was delicious, the staff amazing and the views were stunning. Every bite was better than the last. ”
“ Just WOW! Stayed in Glen Arbor for my husband’s 40th birthday and wanted to have a nice quiet meal. Well BLU went above and beyond. First, they sat us at a quiet table facing the water out on their deck, then they handed us custom “Happy Birthday” menus. The Host and Server were very sweet to wish him a happy day. Then to top it off the food was out of this world. He got the Waygu and I got the Duck. We followed it up with the Rum Cake. Would return there in a heartbeat and would gladly recommend to anyone looking for a high end dining experience. ”
“ We had an incredible time at Blu for a graduation celebration! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. I had the fish option for dinner, and my husband had the wild boar. Both were prepared with perfection. The menus change daily, so there’s always something new to try. ”
“ It's going to be difficult to find enough good things to say about our experience about Blu but I will try. Every aspect of the dining experience at Blu was peak quality. We can start with the ambiance. The building is beautiful and there's a nice view of the water if you get a good table. Definition of fine dining experience is the best way to describe it. The food is excellent. We had the NY strip and the duck. Both were amazing. The duck is a staple, so much so that you get a numbered card to commemorate it. The service was amazing. Not only did they try to make our birthday celebration special they also accommodated my wife's special requests. Everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating. If you're looking for one of the best fine dining experiences in the Traverse City area, look no further. ”
“ Blu was astounding. The staff is truly the shining gem of this place they are warm welcoming while delivering an upscale experience at every turn. The food was beautifully presented and had incredible flavor with every bite. Our son got a tour of the kitchen and it made his whole evening. ”
