First the online videos that are on instagram does not reflect the actual ambiance of the restaurant. Camera man needs a raise! The restaurant was small, there were no live DJ. There were two tables left and the table was not leveled nor the chair so it was not a comfortable experience. The website says cash only and its different in restaurant, As well as the price. Food was good, I traveled out of state just wish the experience and ambiance were better. read more

Had a great experience here. My Auntie and I came here for an early happy hour. The place wasn't crowded. We were greeted right upon entering and seated. Server/bartender was kind and professional. She was also very knowledgeable about the menu items. We had fried calamari (perfectly cooked) and it was delicious. Seafood was fresh. We ordered lobster Mac and cheese and salmon Mac and cheese, crab cakes, and a side of steamed vegetables. We loved everything we had. Mac and cheese was a little only but nothing that ruined the dish. The drinks were delicious and strong. What also loved was the have hooks under the tables and at the bar ton hang your pocketbook. They also have outlets under the bar that can be used to charge your devices. These little touches matter! We had a really good time. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Blu Seafood - Rum punch and fried snapper meal - Seafood Near Me - Queens, New York

I kept hearing about this place so I decided to give it a try. I went on a Wednesday around 5:30pm and the place was packed. Every seat including at the bar was taken. I would definitely recommend reservations. The service was a little slow because there is only one waitress and one bartender. That was the only downside. But the food was good and so were the drinks. They have happy hour Monday to Friday from 4-7pm. On Tuesdays they have karaoke. On Wednesdays it's seafood Wednesday. I would definitely come back here again. read more

Club vibes with seafood. It was very loud so it was hard to hear the waiter but eventually we placed our order. It seemed they were out of my main choices which was ok since it was late and they were able to make me a combo pasta. Drinks were good but took forever to come we saw them sitting on the bar ready for about 10 minutes before they were brought to us, I should have just ordered at the bar. The DJ was lively and it was karaoke night which was fun. All in all I would return to give it another try read more

Blu Seafood - Chicken and shrimp pasta - Seafood Near Me - Queens, New York

The first time that I've been here I only got the drinks and they were alright the bartender was attentive. My second visit I was able to get food and drinks and believe me this is the way you should do it here. I didn't know what I wanted to drink as the menu had many options eventually I went with the lychee martini it was good but I prefer cosmos so I made that switch. The bartender Ashley was also attentive I was unsure if she was the same person as last time. However she was holding down the entire restaurant by herself making endless drinks back to back. My friend simply ordered a black label neat. For food my friend got the fish,veggies and rice. I got the rasta pasta with jerk shrimp by her recommendation and my food was so good I took the rest home. It was even better the next day, now I got literally 1 piece of broccoli in my food which threw me off you either put a few pieces or nothing don't just put 1 small piece. The place overall is small, cozy and has a few high tables and a few low tables and a full bar area. The bathroom could use some paper towel as everyone these day do not only want up use the dryer, it was overall clean. read more

The drinks here are really good. It's not my first time but I can admit I was highly upset when they stopped serving entrees by 11pm. Thankfully the starters were super filling. The hookah was good as well! Great suggestion from jatanya. I don't like how far you are from someone with the brown tables, but it is what it is. They do to go drinks as well so I love that. The dj was very good too! Just note this place is small. It can be packed easily. The oxtail Mac and cheese is firee! I would definitely order it again. The seafood egg rolls are mid. I honestly don't suggest them at all. I wish you could swap things out of the sampler that they offer but whatever. It's still a vibey place :) read more

I visited Blu with my friends for a quick bite before we went out to another lounge down the block for drinks and hookah. They were raving about how good the food was so being the foodie that I am, I was excited. Upon arrival, we were ID'd and patted down before entering. The guards were very nice, funny and also polite. We ended up sitting at the bar to eat. Their food definitely didn't disappoint! We ordered the sampler which came with wings (with your choice of sauce -- I got Mango Habanero), sweet chili friend shrimp, fritters and egg roll. We also got the rum punch which will hit out of nowhere about half way through the drink! Everything was good and our waitress was super nice and accommodating as well. I'd definitely recommend! read more

Blu Seafood - Seafood Near Me - Queens, New York

Blu Seafood. The seafood is definitely delicious, the crab cakes threw me off only because they had a jerk flavoring to them which is very odd for a crab cake. The fried calamari were fried to perfection. Service: Service is what gives this place a 3 out of 5 stars. The service is SO slow, i waited 30 minutes at my table for a glass of water and to be acknowledged by my server. The wait time for food is long as well, i would definitely say the service is the only thing that's going to hammer this business. For two people, an additional gratuity is absurd. Gratuity is usually for 4-6 people, not 2. Overall, food is good. Drinks are delicious and the ambiance is calm vibes. Live DJ as well but service is everything so I'd recommend a different seafood location. read more

Food was amazing (I'd go back just because of that). Service was great (idk if the waitress liked me or all the salmon comes that big ) and the ambiance is ehh but it's a nice lowkey or after work spot (I heard brunch is really good and I'll be checking it out). Drinks were strong and reasonable priced; get there for Happy Hour! read more

Random pit stop while hubby took care of some business . The music was great. The food was tasty although we came across serious concerns (lol) 1. The menu doesn't specify how the seafood is prepared . He ordered what we thought would've been grilled salmon with Hennessy bbq sauce and when we got our plates , they DEEP FRIED the flank of salmon . I was shockingly disappointed because we have never been to any restaurant where they deep fry salmon, not grilled . He was displeased but decided to eat it anyway because he didnt want the chef to spit in his food . Besides the menu not providing clear info so the patron can say hey , we would prefer it grilled with the sauce of our choice - we really have no complaints . I dont drink but he enjoyed his cocktails . The seafood egg rolls and mango habanero wings we delish !! We'll come back for sure now that we know how to order . read more

I am from Queens and wanted to support this local restaurant , yesterday 1/8/2024 my friends and I were looking for a laid back lounge spot and decided to go to Blu Seafood. The meet up time was 5:00 , I got there early about 4:30 and decided to have a seat at the bar and wait, but they were closed ! I was disappointed ! According to the hours of operation they should have been opened.. I sat in my car waiting for my friends , watching people pull at the door. When the rest of my party arrived Blu was still not open, we left ! read more

The food was really good. The waitress was ok, The only thing I did not like at all was that the price is higher if you are using a card vs. cash, like how the gas stations be... I guess they are charging the processing fee and then some forward to the customer when that is the cost of doing business... the food is good, the music is great, just bring cash read more

Blu Seafood - Scallops - Seafood Near Me - Queens, New York

This place is well decorated however the service is horrible. I'm not saying not to be cruel. It was just the timing of how the food came out how long it takes you to deliver a QR code, which is not acceptable. It's a place that's a vibe however it just has a lot of room for improvement. The lobster I will say was cooked to perfection. The sampler needs to be revisited. I think this is a place that you go to when it's really quiet because they have all the elements of something great but it just needs to be refined. read more

The place is small, very nice. The waitress comes to the table right away to take your order. What I like is your ordering a certain item the waitress will let you know it will take a couple of extra minutes. Nice size bar, good music. Will definitely go back. read more

Great place, friendly staff, Shania was a sweet heart! Had a reservation so got seated right away, thts my advice, please make a reservations before going or else you'll be waiting for a while. The wings was delicious, the fried calamari was just ok, coconut shrimp to sweet to my liking. The rasta pasta DELICIOUS best I've ever had, the carnival seafood platter didn't come with lobster, it said it came with it on the menu. Ordered a seafood boil to go, it was salty, very salty. Couldn't eat it, so $40 just got throw away. To bad I already got home. But overall not a bad spot read more

I went here for Mother's Day and it was ok. The Thai shrimp was great and so was the rice. How ever they can do better with the salad lol. That's the shredded leaves on the plate. I can't remember exactly how much I paid but I remember being a bit pricey for the portions. There was a live dj when I was there so it was a bit loud but I actually liked it since me and some moms was having drinks and dancing lol. The service was great. The workers was definitely tentative to us. read more

This is a pretty dope spot! It just opened in November. It's a lot smaller than it looks on the outside but definitely has great music, great drinks and for someone who doesn't do smoke hookah a lot , really smooth hookah options. I had the salmon in the sweet chili sauce. It was really good. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because the vegetables that it was supposed to come with were more like decorations . It was so delicious tho, I had to ask the waitress for more and she did give me more free of charge! The wings were ok. Picture are the Henny bbq wings. We ended up getting another order fried crispy with sauce on the side and enjoyed that a lot better. (The first batch was a bit too gummy for my liking- although the sauce was really good) Service was great . Waitress was attentive and helpful in helping picking out drinks and flavors. Best part about this place is definitely the music. I came on a Monday and the music was everything. They recommended we come early (around 10pm) on a weekend to hear the live dj and I definitely will!! read more

Came here for the 1st time over the holidays - this place is the bomb - I cannot say enough good things about it. If it were a restaurant only, I would already be coming back on the reg for all the seafood - def an upscale kind of vibe, with a creative twist. The salmon, calamari, & wings were all cooked to perfection, & very wide variety of drinks & cocktails. They are also happy to make any of the cocktails "virgin" for the non-drinkers & kids. That all being said, on weekends as it gets later, the vibes become "club" style w/ hookah (time to go home, kids!), dj's, & louder music. And - for lovers of foundation reggae & dancehall - the head chef here is somebody very special - orig Waterhouse / Jaro / Jammy$ style ...... even for those not local to this nabe, def worth the trip out to Laurelton ---! read more

Blu Seafood - Vibes & Vibes - Seafood Near Me - Queens, New York

I want to start this off by giving props to the ONE AND ONLY WAITRESS OLIVE! Yes she is the only waitress but she had time to take all orders from each table and serve us all in a timely fashion, she even took the time out to slide a few jokes and quick conversations. Olive if you ever come across this review I just want to say you deserve a standing ovation! I read a few complaints about there only being one waitress but some people want to be attended to more than others as for my girls and I we had a ball. I am a lover of everything ocean so the ambiance was tugging at my heart with the blue base and details of ocean life. Let me not forget to mention the manager she was cool too and we had a few laughs with her as well. The Hennessy bbq wings baby were finger licking good and yes you had no choice but to lick your fingers but that sweet chili salmon was coming in 1st place for the win for sure! The pasta was delicious and the even seasoned the vegetables. I had the blue temple which is my only complaint it's not worth the 8dollars lol but I'm not going to let a mocktail hinder my rating because I came to Eat. read more

Food always hitting. I've been there at least 5 times and they never disappoint. Sunday brunch is a must. Red velvet waffles, salmon and grits is my favorite. I'm not crazy about the crafe so I always get a drink. Service is good. The music can turn down a little. Only problem is we are eating and talking but we cant hear each other talk without yelling. Even on Sunday at brunch. They should take in consideration the time and the their audience. People like to socialize when They're out. But overall I like this place and I will return. read more

I had a very pleasant experience here. We came around 7 and did not have to wait long to be seated. Upon entering, the space smelled clean. We were greeted by the bartender who was very kind and our server for the evening was Olive. Drinks: they are strong. You get your moneys worth. The treasure chest is served in a martini glass. Great flavor. Very strong. The seafoam is advertised as a sangria as it does contain wine. But it does have vodka and other alcohols. Was told it tastes strong but good flavor as well. Rum punch was told taste very good. Apps: tried the sampler with saltfish fritters (yum), coconut shrimp (very very good), choice of wings, and seafood egg roll (not my favorite) Entree: I got the penne pasta. It's very very rich and large portion. This is not footprints so don't walk in with footprints expectations. It is Alfredo pasta and very creamy and cheesy. It is very good but caught be off guard a little. The jerk salmon was well flavored. read more

My sister and I came here for Happy Hour in the summer. I love a good happy hour and it seems like a lot of places are missing this aspect in their restaurants. The place is small and cute. It wasn't a lot of people in there but the bar area was full. I liked that we were greeted by the bartender when we entered. I ordered a mango mojito which I thought was really good. It had a nice amount of liquor and it was sweet. I also had the fish tacos and I thought that was yummy as well. The fish was crispy and the sauce on top was perfect on top. I would return to try more of their food as well as to visit their happy hour again. read more

A new gem I found on instagram a week ago and I certainly was NOT disappointed! I really hope this place continues to prosper! Went here on Saturday around 645pm with a friend. We had made reservations for 7pm but we didn't even need it, there were only two people at the bar and three at the tables. BUT, it definitely got very busy as the night went on. It's not as big a place as it appears from the outside but they have the tables spaced so it isn't cramped. Service: started off iffy because we walked in and no one was there to greet us. Then a girl showed up behind the bar, looked our way but just continued on with her business. My friend and I looked at each other like ummm okay! Minus points already! Few minutes later, another young lady came out from the back and motioned to us and asked bar or table, we chose the table and that's where the "bad" service ended. Bianca was our waitress and it became obvious that they were short staffed because she was literally serving ALL the tables. A lot more workers showed up later during the night. Bianca definitely handled it well though, because she still managed to remain attentive to our table and kept a steady flow with our orders. She was also very knowledgeable and honest about the menu items and made some good recommendations. Drinks: we went big! Lol I had the pineapple tequila sunset and my friend had the Arctic punch. Both came in 38oz glasses for $32 a piece and they were definitely worth it! They tasted great AND they packed a punch! They also coming "smoking" like the sugar factory and has a bunch of lil goodies in them. Food: I had the sweet chili wings ($8, $4 for happy hour) and my friend had the crab cakes ($14). The wings were soo juicy and the sauce was banging! The crab cakes were nice and big and the sauce was great, maybe could've used a tad bit of lemon juice to cut the "crabby" taste just a little but they were good otherwise. For entrees, I had the Blu seafood medley with penne ($48) (linguini also available) and my friend the seafood boil (price varies based on what you add). O.M.G!! When she came out with the plate for the seafood medley, my mouth literally dropped open because it was HUGE! Lol everyone around was also staring and lamenting. Not only was the portion size, the taste was out of this world! It was sooooooo yummy! Definitely worth the price! I must've had like 4 bites and I was full lol maybe from the wings and the big drink! I took my food to go and it served for dinner 2 days! Lol we also ordered the Blu pasta house ($16) to go and the portion for that was also HUGE! It fed 3 adults the next day! The taste wasn't as impressive as the seafood medley pasta though. Ambiance: the place is dimly lit and they have great music going in the background. It's loud but not too loud where you can't have a convo. The music was just a vibe the whole night! We didn't end up leaving until about 10pm. They also serve hookah it seems after a certain time because as we were wrapping up, another young lady was making her rounds asking if people wanted to order hookah, which we gladly indulged! I order the blue mist hookah ($40) and it was good! It was pulling nice and smooth and wasn't harsh at all. She also swapped out the coal for us when we requested. All in all we had a GREAT experience and will definitely be back! They have a live DJ after hours and the menu also said they have happy hour daily 4-7pm. read more

My rating has nothing to do with the food! Never got to try it. The one star is ONKY because this place is ridiculously small! My friend and I walked in, looked around at the 5 tables with customers, and walked right back out. There were 2 available seats at the bar, but we preferred to be seated at a table. The Instagram pictures were definitely misleading. The restaurant appeared larger than it actually is. I may try the food via take-out.... read more

The place itself is small and music was really loud. My date and I were lucky to grab a couple of seats at the bar because it was packed in there 10pm Friday night. The food is very good here.

Update! So I visited this place again. 2nd time & now I decided to order entrees & it was delicious. I also ordered the tequila sunrise bowl to share w/ me & my partner which lacked alcohol ofc. & it was supposed to come out "smoking" but it only gave bubbles lol. But after a few sips I realized I saw something dark in my drink & the ambiance & lighting is very dim dark & intimate which is not a problem. But When I turned on flash from my phone to shed some light on my drink I saw a long curly strand of hair in my drink. Yuck! Plz tell the bartenders & or server to wrap their hair up. If they're not goin to wear bonnets. After I notified my server the drink was switched out. The only great thing I can & will say is that the food is def delish. read more

The place is smaller than we expected, but it wasn't full on this Sunday evening and so we had space to be comfortable. We started off with the Blu wings mango habanero and Blu wings lemon pepper. The wings were not good. We asked for the lemon pepper sauce on the side bc we have never heard of lemon pepper sauce, it's usually dry. The mango habanero was just okay. We have had better calamari, but it was still good. We ordered shots and drinks and didn't realize till after that we were charged extra for drinks we didn't order. We had a good time so we didn't bother to go back in and complain. But ALWAYS CHECK YOUR BILL. For drinks we had the pink lychee tini, the Blu berry margarita, the blue fall martini, the Feeling Blu and shots. Entrees were seafood boil bags with shrimp, snow crab, lobster, crab legs with mashed potatoes on the side, and the seafood medley with linguine. The entrees were good. I didn't find that it was an intimate and cozy place, but it was okay for what it was. I still recommend. read more
