If you didn't know about Blu Oyster here's your sign to go sip, bite and taste everything! I'm a seafood lover so this was an absolute treat! The Blu Baked Oysters has crab mornay, parmesan, chives, lemon are an absolute must! It was hard to make a decision for the entree. I decided to go with the Lobster Cioppino it has mussels, clams, oysters, white fish, shrimp, gochujang, fumet and a toasted baguette. I was not disappointed. Oh and let's talk about dessert. They have Banana Pudding Cheesecake it has Vanilla wafer crust, salted caramel cream cheese frosting,and brûléed banana. Y'all!!!! This was a deliciously good time! My favorite sip was the "Jack Rabbit" with High Wire Hat Trick Gin, Meletti Amaro, House Made Ginger Carrot Juice, Turmeric and Fresh Lemon . I can't wait to go back I already know what I'm ordering next time. Follow along with me on instagram @sipbiteandtasteit for more foodie finds.
They closed and reopened so we really wanted to try again and prayed it was the glory days, like when they first opened. First impression was printed out signage taped up telling you to anticipate a wait, zero warm greeting. All our favorite menu items are gone, no more seafood bucatini, no more cioppino. Replaced by hibachi. Bland rice and cooked beyond well done salmon. Sad hush puppies. The yummiest item we tried were the Rangoon cheese sticks, though pricey for what you get. $18-$20 for "specialty" rolls that didn't seem special. Our guests barely touched their food and didn't want to take leftovers home. The entire place could use a good clean and dust. All the pictures on the walls covered with dust. The bright spot? Our server. I think his name was CJ. He was on top of things, very kind and attentive. A real asset had the food been better. The location is amazing and could be something great again. Makes me really sad.
Half price regular sushi rolls and wine night! My girlfriends and I had a blast! The sushi was very good. I recommend the tuna maki. The spicy salmon was just ok. I am excited to go back on a Monday when the half price specialty rolls are featured. A beautiful ambiance with glowing piranha heads adoring the walls behind us haha. The service was just mediocre. The waitress didn't check in on us often or refills our waters and we were there for quite some time.
Some people say that you should actually eat your dessert first before your meal. With that in mind how about a review that starts with the dessert? Ours (2 spoons) was ice cream with a slighter vanilla bean taste, a single mint leaf sticking into the top of the ice cream which was mounted on top of a somewhat large apple crumble pie. Our waitress was a bubbly one named Autumn. She continually, but unobtrusively, was checking with us and engaged in a light, but interesting conversation with my wife. Autumn was also handling other tables with aplomb, including a large set of folks in the large screened in exterior dining area. The meal for us was sushi (yes, an oyster and seafood restaurant serves sushi!), with my favorite is the $18 "Johns Island"--appropriate as that is where this place is located off of Maybank Highway. Obviously, raw fish, but also with cream cheese blended in and small (cooked) shrimp at either end. This restaurant is not inexpensive, in fact the lowest cost for a bottle of Chardonnay is $63 and thus we do not imbibe, here anyway. My wife likes the food, the service and the ambience, as do I, so here we were!
Blu Oyster is a classy gem on Johns Island. It brings international flavor intertwined with Charleston, South Carolina lowcountry culinary tradition. Upon entry, it takes you on a trip back in time with a retro vibe. The sushi bar makes you feel like you are at a 1950s soda fountain shop or 50s diner. When the guests are greeted by the friendly staff, a classic Cadillac front end meets the eye. The background soundtrack has good tunes. The music is at a good level. The atmosphere blends new school with old school seamlessly. Blu Oyster is very accommodating for gluten allergies and celiac. There are many gluten free options including a signature fried seafood platters. The seasoned fries are awesome. The cuisine is a delicious and eccentric delight. The Asian Fusion includes a combination of sushi and seafood. The seafood can be fried, seered, or raw.
Remember to order extra bread early in because it takes a while when you get the curry muscles- though maybe the bread comes out faster now than it used to. Today we had the muscles. Blu Southen Fried Platrer with the grouper, grilled whole snapper 'coco' from the fish board, and sushi- with tuxedo cake a la mode for dessert. We also had the Vino Verde. It was all delicious!! I would do it all again- maybe try the grilled fish with a different preparation just to see. I liked the Coco and could do it again- very flavorful with an interesting selection of grilled veggies but was the sauce cream based? I'm not sure. Ask for Katie- she is knowledgeable and efficient plus brought sunshine to our meal- thanks Katie!!
This is the real deal on Johns Island. It's classy but casual with plenty of seating options. We opted for the patio on a beautiful spring day for happy hour and happy it was. We had a couple of domestic bottles of beer and a dragonfruit sparkling mojito and calamari (our waitress informed us that they were famous for it and now we understand, it was amazing!!) and the tuna tartare. We opted for 4 classic rolls as well: California roll, crunch roll, ebi shrimp roll, and spicy tuna roll. (Can you say happy hour pros?) anyway, this experience was great and proved a proper date night here will be in our future. (Their dessert menu looked amazing as well and we were informed their pastry chef makes them fresh daily!! We will plan better next time!)
Decent variety of oysters. If you come between brunch and dinner hours (3pm-5pm) note that only the raw bar is served! The sushi was good but definitely overpriced at almost $20 a row.
I really enjoy this place! A friend of mine is moving to John's Island so we've spent some time over there getting his new house ready and have ended up at Blu twice in the past couple of weeks. The service is great and the ambiance/decor is so cute--but the menu is truly one of the best parts, there is definitely something for everyone-even seafood haters. The mussels are delicious, as are most of the sushi rolls and other apps. We had the lobster poutine which was great, though I think I'd prefer the lobster to be in pieces and less shredded. I had the spicy tuna crispy rice last night knowing that I order that at every restaurant and while it was good, there are definitely better options in the area for this dish. All in all a great place that has a ton of options--will definitely be back here often!
We had an evening reservation for a Friday night. The bar and dining tables remained ~90% the whole night but the noise level remained normal. For starters, we ordered the Oyster Deviled Eggs, Spicy Tuna Roll, and Calamari. The Calamari was made GF and mixed with peppers, corn, and some sort of chili sauce - such a yummy combination! The sushi was nice and fresh - next time I visit I will definitely try one of their specialty sushi rolls. I ordered the Blu Bucatini (pasta with scallops, shrimp, clams, crab velouté, topped with parmesan) and O-M-G W-O-W. Sooooo good!!!! If you love seafood, you NEED to order this. The kitchen does not skimp on the amount seafood in the dish (unlike other places!). The dish is big enough for leftovers - lucky you, you'll have lunch for tomorrow! Bonus points for Blu Oyster because they offer Gluten Free options for the majority of items on their menu -- just ask your server!
The best menu items were the fried oyster deviled eggs and those fried shrimp were perfect. My mother had the platter that included the flounder which was also really good. The drinks were nice. The staff was super friendly and I can't wait to return.
Blu Oyster is a seafood and sushi restaurant located on Johns Island. My husband and I had lunch at Blu Oyster on Sunday. The restaurant is beautifully designed. Very elegant and sleek. They offer dine in and carryout and have a fully stocked bar. We were seated quickly. We chose to eat in the outdoor area. This area was gorgeous! Nice beautiful seating with a ceiling for shade and one wall was covered with a clear curtain to protect against wind and rain. There were several televisions available to watch sporting events. Our waitress was excellent. She was personable and knowledgeable about the menu. She told us that all the food was made fresh on site. I opted for the spicy Tuna roll and my husband had a crab omlette with fresh greens salad. We shared! The crab omlette was made with 4 eggs and a generous portion of shredded lump crab meat. The flavor was incredible. I also tried a few bites of the greens salad. Wow! The homemade ginger dressing was a delight. Very light and delicate with a hint of ginger, citrus and honey. This dressing really complimentes the greens. In fact I told our waitress and the manager how much I enjoyed the dressing. The spicy tuna roll had eight pieces of delicious tuna. It was served with ginger and Wasabi. The food was fresh and very good. The ambiance and decor are very upscale. The staff was very welcoming and was the icing on the cake. I will be back again and again!
We were looking for a place that offered brunch, and we ended up at the Blu Oyster Restaurant. We were welcomed immediately upon entering. We had a choice of inside or outside seating. It was such a beautiful day, we chose outside. The restaurant was not really busy, so we were able to place our order right away. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. I ordered the 4 egg omelet with crab meat. That also came with a mixed green salad. The food was a little pricey, but everything was delicious! I would recommend this restaurant.
Where to start.... The space itself is cute. There is plenty of nearby parking, it's nicely decorated and appeared clean. The staff was nice and it did not take long to receive our food. I do not enjoy being negative, but I have to be honest. We ordered the hushpuppies as an appetizer - they were not even warm, they were dense, and basically at room temperature. Our table was a high top, pretty small, and very wobbly, so we were paranoid the whole time that something was going to fall off. I ordered the Volcano Roll, which is spicy tuna, cream cheese, avocado, and jalapeño with a couple of sauces on top. It didn't say it was fried, but I don't mind that. HOWEVER, it was a little tough to bite into. The biggest issue that I had was that the tuna inside the roll was essentially CANNED TUNA. It looked like cat food. I have never seen tuna like that in a sushi roll. It was honestly the worst sushi I have ever had and sushi from the grocery store is better. I know there have been plenty of good reviews, but I'm assuming nobody else ordered sushi. Based on this experience, I will not be returning. read more
So glad this jewel in the rough has returned to the restaurant scene! Some of the biggest and most tender shrimp on a fried platter in town! And that pile of fries to boot! What an amazing price point for this delicious feast. The calamari didn't disappoint either. The hibachi was a solid choice and the chicken was tender but the steak was thin and overcooked for my taste, but we also weren't asked the temperature we preferred. The hibachi veggies were lightly sauteed and still had some crunch on them. The rice wasn't over seasoned and was nice and sticky. Glad the decor and vibes haven't changed. Classy with an attainable down to elEarth feel. Service was a little slower than I'm used to in the prior iteration but everything came out as ordered. Definitely will return and glad to have them back! read more
Our final meal at a wonderful place. You will be SORELY missed. Inside was packed with many enjoying their final week of Blu Oyster's good food. We sat in the patio which was a tad chilly but food made it just right. Adult beverages, Oysters, She crab soup, Calamari, Fried shrimp and Seafood pasta. It was all DELICIOUS. Service was excellent as always. So long & farewell. Best wishes! Thank you for all of the birthday and anniversary celebrations and just plain good night out and enjoying GOOD food with friends and family. We love Y'all read more

Have been to Blu Oyster more times in the past few weeks than I have any other establishment. Johns Island needed a hip, trendy place you could pop into for happy hour, a drink, or a quick bite - and Blu Oyster delivers. I have also brought family here, met friends, and would consider this a great date spot. I've now sat at the sushi bar, regular bar, and received table service and all of the above exceeded expectations. In my most recent visit, our server Chris offered a personal touch and his own recommendations that added to the experience. I would 10000% recommend the oyster carpaccio - the ingredients offer the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and portion was generous for an appetizer. The sushi is consistent and fresh. This may be my favorite spot on Johns Island! I will certainly be back - probably this week haha. read more

Wowza!!!! What a sublime meal! I came to munch on their brunch menu with a bunch of my favorite family members to celebrate a birthday and our love for each other. I had been to Blu Oyster one time before about a month ago and have been thinking of it ever since. Half because the food was so good and half because of the very specific and captivating art instillation of little piranha faces (see image below, or just email me and I'll send you all the pictures I took) My Uncle is not a fan of them because he sat directly in-front of it and by the time his stomach was full he felt like his brain was being torn apart by the little fishes razor blade teeth and dead eyes. I enjoyed it though! I've never seen it in a restaurant before and thoroughly enjoyed the little critters. OK OK OK now for the food. We got oysters to start and inhaled them immediately. So sweet so fresh so briny. 10/10 exactly how I want to start every morning. UGH I'm thinking about it now and I wish I had oysters in my grubby little girl hands instead of my phone typing this review. I don't know what I'm talking about I could totally order more because I'm sitting in the restaurant typing this instead of conversing with my family. I ordered the BLU Biscuits and Gravy and they brought it right to my table. I love when restaurants do that!!!!!!! I also tried my daddy-o's oyster hash and it was lush. That is the only way I can describe it. If you remember from earlier, precious reader, we were celebrating a birthday. So we received a free dessert! It was a coconut sorbet. COCONUT. SORBET. Are you kidding? No. They were not. FROSTING. It had the consistency of freaking frosting. I can never go back to anything else! Overall a very gratifying experience of food, family time, and frosting! read more

I don't care what anyone else says, we LOVED our meal and experience here! We made a reservation for inside as it's record heat right now. We were seated quickly when we arrived. The place is larger than you think with a combination of booths, high tops and really comfy bar seats. We came in thinking of getting the seafood tower but there were so many amazing dishes we decided to mix and match. We started with the blue crab dip comes with a toasted baguette. Tasted like an exceptional artichoke spinach dip but didn't get much crab flavor. Still really good (we cleaned the plate). Then we got fresh oysters (1/2 price house oysters on Wednesday) comes with a good variety of sauces and toppings. Baked oysters were fantastic-highly recommended. fried oysters deviled egg were good too. Peel and eat shrimp another winner (huge meaty shrimp and plenty for the price), and fried shrimp. Breading is light and doesn't overpower the shrimp at all. Sweet and sour cauliflower another Hit! Brussels were a disappointment, not very flavorful but cooked correctly (didn't stop us demolishing them). We had to take home dessert - banana pudding cheesecake. Doesn't travel well -suggest saving room cause it's to die for! Overall an amazing meal. Special shout out to Keelie our server. Sorry if I mis-spelled your name but she was a fantastic server. Super attentive and gave great advice to ensure we loved our meals. Will be back soon! read more

We decided to try this restaurant tonight on a whim and it was a great decision. When we walked in we were greeted by the hostess who was so pleasant. I was surprised at how big and open the restaurant was as it appeared small and dark from the outside. We opted to eat on the outdoor covered patio. It was a beautiful night and it was a perfect setting for a delicious meal. I loved the decor throughout restaurant and the privacy screens to block the main road. My son ordered a tuna tartake role and he was very happy with the roll and how tender the tuna was. I ordered the coco scallops and was so impressed with how tasty the sauce and veggies were/. The server was friendly and efficient. The manager came out to check how our meal was which I appreciated. She was very personable and helpful to server. We also had the blueberry lavender zero proof drinks and they were so yummy. I have this restaurant 5 stars because not only was the food amazing but the staff were all so pleasant and professional. The restaurant was clean and trendy. Great location and plenty of parking. Will definitely be back again on next visit. read more

So let me start this by saying I am gluten free and I couldn't have felt more safe and taken care of. I have been two times in last 30 days and wish I had found sooner. Keely my server was one of the best servers I have had in years. We started with the wings which were so unique in flavor with the bbq and peanuts and we couldnt stop eating them. The calamari was unlike any I have ever had. The corn and poblanos mixed it added some much flavor. I was dying for fried oysters since I could get fried seafood and they did not disappoint! Huge portion size. My mother got the pork chop with a squash puree and spinach and loved her dish , took home half and said it was just as good day too! This restaurant is very open with industrial and coastal vibes. There is a large bar and also a bar I think they do sushi or raw bar at, lastly a patio that currently has heaters out there for comfort. Majority of the tables are high tops so if that is an issue, note that in your reservation! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants on Johns Island! The sushi is always so fresh. My favorite is the crispy rice tuna negri, see photo, sorry I got too excited and started eating before I could snap the picture when it arrived at the table.. I can literally eat here every day and have something different and equally amazing. Tuna tartar, kimchi fried rice so good! It's also a great place for brunch the bloody mary bar, never disappoints, and you must try the brunch favorite the oyster hash! The Blu Oyster is the best kept Johns Island secret! read more

The Fried Seafood is great, you have options either 1, 2 combo, or 3 combo of shrimp, fish, oysters! My favorite Entre is the the Scallop Dinner, this is the best Scallops I have ever, all of the flavors work to perfection!! Oh then dessert #1 is the Chocolate Cake, OMG sublime!!

I love this spot! We came on a Wednesday night and sat at the bar which is the best seat in the house in my opinion. They have some good happy hour specials and lots of oyster options! See my pics to see what we got :) Looking forward to coming back!! read more
I had no idea Charles Island had became so modern. Lol. I haven't been over here in years. But I passed so many spots that I can feel the energy from the road. I will definitely be coming over here. Wild olive you are my next stop. Who remembers the movie The last dragon? Do you remember SHO nuff? They have a guy working here that fits the description. When I mention the character we both cannot stop laughing. I really love the scene in the spot. Low key romantic. On this particular Friday night it felt like a room full of executives. Certain people with money just have that aroma coming off of them. Lol. As soon as you walk in you smell fresh seafood. My favorite smell in a restaurant. Such a great energy coming up everything and everybody. I heard several comments complimenting the chef there. Of course they are biased but I would have to agree. The thought process and the food and menu is pretty damn good. This is the first time I've had sushi with fresh seafood. Yes you can tell the difference. I had a advertiser with rice several cheeses and foreign spices I forgot the name but it was pretty good. See picture. I forgot to roll we picked but the sushi was excellent. They get five stars cuz they handle three worlds very well. Perfect steak. Perfect sushi. Perfect seafood. My platter was outstanding. They are very pricey but worth it. The steak melted in your mouth with perfect grill marks. The saki had me extra drunk. We got there right before they close and that's usually when you get not so good food. But everything was perfect. And they did not rush us out. I will definitely be back. This is one of my new favorite spots. read more

Spectacular food and service. My 13 yr old grandson and I were shopping for a few groceries and walked by the supermarket sushi display. He told me that he liked sushi and mentioned that he had never been to a real sushi restaurant. Blu Oyster to the rescue. We found ourselves dressed in an elegant but mostly empty restaurant and dressed in sweats. Our semi-homeless look was actually at the median of the three occupied tables on a late Friday afternoon. Regardless of our dress, we received tuxedo service. We had been shopping for a few odds and ends and were on a tight leash, under orders to get home quickly because grandfather2 was delivering a large and heavy Christmas present shortly. I told Regan, our server that we had 30 minutes to dine and heard her explain it to the kitchen. And they did their part - we made it back about 3 min late. Grandfathered 2, however, was 2hr late which made me truly regret our rushing our lunch. Grandson was worried about the "spicy" tuna and ordered a gorgeous sushi prep with tuna not labeled spicy. Due to our perceived rush, Regan brought his order as soon as it was completed, while apologizing . I explained to my grandson that fine dining required everyone to be served simultaneously. My "Level I" nigiri sashimi was delivered 1-2 min later and he had largely demolished his food by that time. And then, by invitation, he tore into mine . He learned that "spicy tuna" was well within his tolerance. I added a picture of my dish. For scale, I think it's on a 12-inch platter. We waaround the deserted restaurant looking at their local art, the board showing the provenance of their four raw oysters, and the four fish species used for sashimi. We watched a chef portioning beautiful tuna loins. The wine list is fine and the prices reasonable. We will be going back. After hearing about our experience my raw food hating daughter looked at the menu and declared she and my picky granddaughter could eat there, too read more
