Last night my surprise proposal was at Blue. The food, ambiance and service were all incredible. Specifically the sangria, salmon and Thai calamari were all amazing. My fiancé and sister had the help of Jeff during the planning process. He made the planning stress free and everything turned out amazing. I could have not had a better proposal and I am so thankful Blue was so accommodating in hosting our special day. read more

Terrible place for big party dinner. $100/person and you can't even order from the menu. You only get 4 options in a pre-fixe menu. Not worth it. read more

One of my favorite restaurants on the island. From the food to the drinks... not to mention the amazing views and also how clean and neat the establishment is. My bestie and I always come and have an amazing time. We used to come every weekend but, life happened. We will definitely try to make it back a tradition of hours because "Blue" is literally the best hands down. read more

Horrible service. The worst I've ever had in any restaurant. Dinner was good but the service ruined it. My waitress should be retrained or fired. What a waste of my money. read more

I've eaten at Bayou, which is one of my Favs, Beso and now Blue, all owned by the same owner. All three have a very different ambiance. Bayou is sweet, quaint and with a more subtle and romantic feel. Beso is more trendy, but garners the feeling of an old world pub to a degree. Blue is completely different from both with a more modern, elegant and charming appeal. Housed on the outskirts of the water, you have the choice of eating inside or on the veranda where you can enjoy the view of the city or boats in the harbor. Its a nice place to kick back and relax in the spring or on a hot summer day. The food was good, but the appetizers are better. The wings were excellent along with the calamari and salad with feta cheese. I also had some of the seafood selections which was ok, not city island but tasty. A big pricy and they could add a little more seafood but it was good. I'd go again, but my choice leans towards appetizers. read more

Thirteen cousins gathered here for a get together. Reservation was made and seated promptly. The waiter took drink orders and actually asked for preferences ie vodka ( special brand) and tonic . That does not happen often bc usually have to specify. Each appetizer was perfect from calamari ( not heavily breaded or greasy) to Burrata to clams and lamb lollipops. Entrees were outstanding: steaks perfectly cooked served with risotto to stuffed lobster tails .... The waiter did an outstanding job and the manager came around frequently to check on service and quality. Will definitely return ! read more

Second time coming to Blue and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Make sure you save room for dessert! The cheesecake is homemade and pairs extremely well with the pistachio gelato. The only thing I would suggest is dress a little bit more fancy but still casual, just no tank tops! They won't let you sit in the dining room with one on. read more

The absolute best! Menu is different and fabulous. The food is fresh and consistent all the time. Wow!! Great before or after a show at the St. George theatre. If anything , Go for drinks & apps but you'll want to spend hours there sampling everything in the menu!! Everything is always top both. Friendly staff AND the owner and manager are so appreciative. The. We space is beautiful! read more

Mike G. (The my husband one) needs to take me here for date night. You heard it here first. I finally ended up at Blue after passing by many times following a sopping wet, rainy, and cold visit to Snug Harbor for the Lantern Festival. I wasn't really sure what kind of atmosphere to expect but was very thankful that I was wearing business casual attire. The atmosphere is more upscale. There is a bank of windows that looks out onto the Kill Van Kull and subsequently Bayonne. Staff is formal and attentive. We came around 6 without reservations and were seated immediately but I would reserve next time as they quickly filled up. The wine specials were by the quartino, I had a white. There are cocktails as well. We only came for appetizers and the seafood special apps as well as apps from the daily menu were all very good and cooked perfectly. We ordered another round of the calamari I think. Everyone had other plans so we did not stick around for dinner main course. We noticed they had a pre fixe Sunday brunch for $29. Might check that out next time and update. Or date night ahem ahem. read more

Mussels Alfredo was excellent.... carbonara and Lisa's tartare was good. Unfortunately, service from Julie was indifferent, was Julie bored? read more

Went to Blue on Easter. Everything was amazing. The food was delicious. The Chili Calamari is absolutely delicious. I ordered the Salmon which was perfectly cooked. Everyone in the party (20 people) loved everything. The service was amazing. Kristin was our server and I can't praise her enough. She was very professional and attentive to everyone. All the staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. We were all very pleased. Thank you for making our Easter great. read more

Love this spot! Chicken empanadas and baked clams were delicious. We got the shrimp and chicken Parmesan. The chicken was a little chewy but overall was okay. The view/atmosphere was great. The service was great as well. All the employees I saw were wearing their masks properly! read more

Chose to come to Blue for my Birthday celebration this year & I'm so glad I did!!! The outdoor dining atmosphere was absolutely outstanding, beautiful views of the water & a pretty tent like canopy, could even make for a cute little wedding space. I loved how they had the rustic shareable benches for couples to sit next to each other while enjoying the meal. We ordered the Salmon Teriyaki, Chicken Marsala & Nutella Wontons for dessert. Everything was delicious with every bite & the cocktails were also refreshing and paired well with our meals. 100% will be back!!! Super enjoyable. read more

Had dinner at Blue last night. Began with a Caesar salad ($14) which was delicious. Then onto their lamb shank with risotto. The lamb was amazing, the risotto was not at all creamy but rather sticky and sadly was undercooked. For that reason alone I'd be leery to order this lamb again. This was not an inexpensive meal and should be perfection on a plate thus my reason for the 3 stars and not 5. You should never have to return a $40 plate for any reason in my opinion. I will be honest and say that I did not mention my concern to our server, who was lovely, as I normally would. They were very busy, it was a Friday evening and I was thoroughly enjoying my lamb. I do know that would've been the correct course of action. I simply did not want my spouse to end up eating alone if they were to remove my plate. That being said, 5 stars to the lamb, none to the risotto, atmosphere is quite nice, servers attentive. read more

Very close to five star. I enjoyed the ambiance by the water and had both personable and professional service. Started off with peach sangria which was very good. Cabrese Salad was presented very nicely and tasted as good as it looked. We also shared a crab cake and it was so good we ordered a second to bring home to the kids. For the main course my wife had the pasta purse which was excellent and I had the seafood risotto which was also done very nicely. We finished with some chocolate mousse and I tried the key lime pie and again didn't disappoint. I Am very hard to get to five stars and consistency for me is key so I definitely will be going back and if 'wow' me again then I will upgrade. read more

We can't thank this restaurant enough for the meal we took out tonight. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and kind to our family. They told us 45 minutes and when we arrived everything was ready to go. When we arrived home, the food was as if we were served in the restaurant. Delicious is an understatement. Thank you again for everything. You have fans for life. I have to add an additional review for our Easter dinner we ordered from Blue. Everything was exceptional to say the least. Although for everyone this was a "different" holiday than usual, our dinner was perfect. Thank you again for everything. read more

Very good restaurant with an upbeat classic atmosphere and by the water! Came here last Saturday with 1" of snow on the ground and more coming down. I assumed that the restaurant wouldn't be that busy but I was wrong, so before going there make reservations. We order for appetizers the Thai Calamari and it was delicious!!!! For Entree we got the Ribeye steak with Mac&Cheese and the Braised Lamb Shank over pasta. The Ribeye was pretty good but a little over cooked for my taste - - - I asked for medium and got medium well. The Lamb Shank was cooked to perfection, coming out of the bone but needed a little more spice, salt and pepper perhaps. For dessert we had the chocolate cake with ice cream and it was delish. All around a very pleasant night in a cute place and served by excellent staff. We will definitely be making our way back with family and friends in the summer to enjoy the outside area in front of the water. read more

Can't think of any faults. Maybe the appetizers were a little skimpy but other than that everything was great. We were seated inside but still a great veiw of the harbor. Service was amazing. Food was amazing. No complaints. read more

Went again and it was amazing!!!! My only suggestion would be to add a cover to the outdoor seating that isn't covered and maybe put in space heater since it's right by the water and it gets super cold at night. read more

Blue Restaurant in 1115 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10310 Food was excellent. I really loved the different menus. I rated the food 5. I salute the Chef of the restaurant. Keep it up. Needs improvement in the following areas: The waiting time was a little bit long. It seems its understaff. The staff is OK however they need to be friendly and customer oriented. They need to greet the customers. Ask maybe the common questions in restaurants-How's the food? Everything OK? Is there anything you need? We even said "goodnight" when we left nobody responded. If the above mentioned concerns will be addressed I will rate the restaurant 5 the next time I'll visit the place. read more

I just called to make a reservation for one month in the future, and I was told unless I have the exact number of people coming, they will not make a reservation. I said 10-12 people. This girl repeated over and over and over that I need to call back when I know precisely how many people are going to attend. What about cancellations? What if someone gets sick? What is wrong with you??!?!? Gonna think twice about this one. Do people want business these days? Or are all restaurant workers independently wealthy? read more

very cute place with tasty food. It's a romantic second or third date type of place or a date night with your other half.

A nice view of the barges in NJ. They pack the restaurant out & there's no room for comfortability. There's only 1 bathroom and there was a line of 5+ people ahead of me each time I had to use it. Very unpleasant because I'm pregnant. The food is ok, nothing to really talk about. Over priced. We didn't get coffee creamer/milk with our coffee , so when we asked for it this is what we got!! *gag* (See photo). Don't know if it was intentional or not from the busboy who right before spilt water on my uncle and he got upset. Not that it's important but I'll add it: The waiter was a phony and seemed to be stressed out in his personal life - felt bad for him seemed like he just wants $ without working for it. But this oil thing just made me want to vomit!! How do you get creamer and there's DIRTY OIL mixed in the milk????? Also I don't like the brown paper tablecloth (as seen in the photo), it got dirty very fast and wet from our drinks - easy for the staff, not pleasurable for the customer. Honestly I probably won't be back. Usually I'd give 1 star but it was a nice day with family, we tipped about $300 because we had to and it's holiday time, but the tip did not reflect the quality we felt at all. read more

A bit pricey but for the nice atmosphere and the good food it was actually about right. Salmon dish was delicious - teriyaki glaze and fresh tasting apple cranberries and feta cheese. They managed to make it work well by not drowning the fish in teriyaki sauce. The chicken malaga was also very good. It was served with rigatoni pasta and portobello mushrooms in a red wine sauce. I ordered it because I wondered if it was similar to Coq au Vin. It turned out to be better. The service was probably the one slight disappointment.. Not even a disappointment but just not up to snuff compared to the rest of the place. Not bad but not very friendly and not too prompt getting the check or checking up on customers. There is a waterfront view of Bayonne and I'm still trying to decide if that's good or bad. read more

Super lovely place here at Blue. Really cute and beautiful set up. Especially outside. The view was really nice. Service and staff were really kind which was nice. And the place in general had a nice energy to it. Felt pretty clean inside too. For the food we were also really impressed. I went ahead and ordered the Shrimp Parmesan which I'm usually not always prone to do at places but I decided to take a leap of faith and I was definitely happy I did. It was super tasty and flavorful. Not at all disappointed. The Tartufo was incredible and super cute. A great end to a wonderful meal overall. read more

First time I came across this spot, my friend said her friends heard good reviews about this place so we came to try their food. When we ordered the food I asked for a prefix menu for my ny strip steak to be medium rare more to the red side, i was really disappointed that it wasn't more to the red side. It looked more like a medium well steak. Which wasn't what i asked for. The food was okay but for me it was the steak that was more towards a harder side then the soft side. They have good portion sized food. And when my friend and I asked the waiter if we could pay the prefix menu in cash and the rest in card she said it was fine. And of course we were going to split the card price because that's what we usually do. And the waiter took forever to come back with our cards. I could hear the other waiters asking why we would split it two ways and why it couldn't just be in one card. If the waiter had a problem she could've just said so. I wouldn't have mind just adding it to one card but they made it so difficult. read more

We've eaten from here twice: the first time it was at the restaurant, itself and we had a few appetizers and drinks and they were really good and so was the service. The second time, we had some food delivered. This time we had some entrees. Everything we had was DIVINE! My mother is a chef and i've grown up around top notch food and have a pretty refined palette so usually, even in the best food, I might think 1 thing is "off". But not this food; it was perfection. My ONLY gripe was the prices (a little on the pricier side), but they're so generous with the portions that it kind of makes up for it. read more
